Allow HTML to be stored on File System

[waypointdelta]

I would like to make various changes to textpattern in a local fork. It's difficult to do this when the code for rendering pages (HTML/CSS) is stored in a database. It would be great to be able to change a pointer for reading source from either DB or OS storage.

From Txp v4.7 we have Themes which are Pages, Forms and Stylesheets stored in the DB but updateable from disk in a single action. See the Themes area of the docs site for some overview information or search/ask on the forum for more detailed help on this feature.

EDIT: You can also have multiple themes active at once and preview them, so you can make iterative changes to your site in a live environment in relative safety. Very good for showing clients what's coming using existing site content, instead of having to do the Staging database dance.

There is a plugin that seems to do what you request. We get users feedback before eventually implementing it in core.

Closing this for now based on workaround / solution with etc_flat.
