Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/25720 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: tasks Priority: normal Assigned to: adrian Reported by: adrian Updated by: adrian -Status: active +Status: patch Set to patch. adrian Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 25, 2005 - 01:50 : adrian Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/systemdirs.patch (2.16 KB) This patch allows for additional 'system' directories to be searched for modules/themes/engines etc. You do this by adding the following into settings.php <?php   $system_dirs = array( 'contributions'); ?> This would allow you to have all of contrib checked out alongside drupal core. We use this extensively in Bryght's hosting platform, to allow us to add sets of modules to sites, without having to manage thousands of symlinks for each of the individual module->site links.
