Exponentcms Exponent CMS → 2.3.6

We currently do a lot of view determination in an old hack based expCore::resolveFilePaths() method. We also do much of our framework view determination in the expFramework get_common_template() & get_template_for_action() methods. It would be MUCH more efficient to create new template subclasses which allow easy creation of config, form, action, etc... views by placing a generic framework/template name method (suffix selection) and handled things within the template class. Evenmoreso, it would allow a standardized approach to looking for template variations based on the current framework such as global views, etc... which we currently do/can not do.

So, in addition to the controllertemplate & standalonetemplate having access to a common framework/template name method, we'd have:

• actiontemplate, but this may be handled by controllertemplate?
• commontemplate

and perhaps

• configtemplate

accompanied by some new general expTemplate methods such as:

• get_views() - (static) list of available type views
• get_template() - retrieve existing framework factored available view name
