install a custom view for existing block
Permalink
Anyone have a code example of installing a custom view for an already existing block from a separate package install?
in other words...I have a custom package, and I want to toss in a "styling" if you will of the page_list block. When the package installs, I want to add to root->blocks dir a "page_list" folder with my custom view.php and view.css for that block.
didn't know if there is a function to aid with this or if someone has an example I could peek at.
thanks

treat any installed package as your site root.
can you explain that more?
I don't want to "dupe" the block...I just want to have a "view" set of it, without having separate controllers and other sub-files.
I want to install a custom package...and "oh by the way..." here's a new take on this already existing C5 block.(without duplicating in within the package) just the view.php and the view.css

say I want to add a new page_list template for blog for whatever reason(maybe even override the exisiting one so it doesn't show future posts?)
id go into the blog app, go to blocks/page_list/templates/no_future_blog_posts/view.php and view.css there.
They don't get installed or anything, all packages have their paths checked when andrew wrote up the new block template stuff.
