AltTemplatePath

This is documentation about a configuration directive, which can be placed within Movable Type’s core configuration file, mt-config.cgi, to customize the behavior of the system.

The path to a directory where application override templates are found. For more information about override templates, and how template searching is done in general, see How does build_page find a template? in the MT::App documentation.

Example

    AltTemplatePath  /home/ezra/mt-overrides/tmpl

Default

    alt-tmpl

Note: From version 5.2 and up, users have the ability to specify multiple directories for template storage. If multiple directories are specified, Movable Type will load template files from all directories in order of mt-config.cgi’s sequence.

Multiple specification example:

    AltTemplatePath /path/to/directory
    AltTemplatePath /path/to/another/directory
