* Feature request: Allow multiple sample databases in theme folder
Reported by dleffler | August 19th, 2011 @ 08:59 PM | in 2.2.0alpha3 (closed)
Allow for multiple sample databases in theme folder. This would also necessitate allowing different filenames in the export eql dialog.

Perhaps we need to allow/add a standard generic sample db in the /install folder and ALLOW customized sample db's in a theme folder?

(from [fae06920c21c0896bfa92dbb3e60f5c5aa571389]) Places standard installation sample in install folder instead of multiple copies across each theme folder. Should reduce package size by over 7 megs. [#311 ] https://github.com/exponentcms/exponent-cms/commit/fae06920c21c0896...

FWIW, we now look in the theme folder, THEN the /install folder for a sample.eql file...therefore we have theme specific samples, plus the generic system sample.

Probably best way to implement is to have a drop-down in each theme with a list of additional samples?
Rule of thumb would be:
- main generic sample is /install/samples/sample.eql w/ /install/samples.tar.gz
- theme alternate generic sample (due to theme specific hard-coded module sources?) would be /themes/themename/sample.eql and/or /themes/themename/sample.tar.gz using the main file as a fall back
- main specific type sample would be like /install/samples/blog.eql w/ /install/blog.tar.gz with NO fallback to the generic sample files
- theme specific type sample would again be the same in the theme folder w/ a fallback to the main specific type files if they exist.
Would be nice to come up with a 'blog' site sample, and eventually a 'basic/simple e-commerce site' sample. The idea would be that exponent out of the box install you end up with a running site (just like wp blog, etc...)

As a note of what the 'sample blog' would look like
- 2 pages, blog on page 1, about on page 2
- sidebar, recent posts, recent comments, archives (months), categories, meta (other links)
- footer, 'powered by Exponent CMS'

The approach we'll take is to create a drop-down list selection of available samples and allow for alternate 'theme specific' files.
