[Solar-talk] help with new dir structure

[Jeff Surgeson]

Hi All

Have set my dir structure up as proposed, my biggest motivation to do this is 
not only is it a better way to do it but to help prevent all the duplication 
of code between my website projects.

This is what I have done:

// the individual website webserver document roots
site1/
	index.php
	Public/
		Site1		#ln -s ../../source/site1/Site1/App/Public
		Vendor	#ln -s ../../source/vendor/Vendor/App/Public
site2/
	index.php
	Public/
		Site2		#ln -s ../../source/site1/Site2/App/Public
		Vendor	#ln -s ../../source/vendor/Vendor/App/Public

// off webserver doc root
config/
	Site1.config.php
	Site2.config.php

include/
	Site1		#ln -s ../source/site1/Site1
	Site2		#ln -s ../source/site2/Site2
	Vendor	#ln -s ../source/vendor/Vendor
	Solar.php	#ln -s ../source/solar/Solar.php
	Solar		#ln -s ../source/solar/Solar

source/
	solar/
		Solar.php
		Solar/
	vendor/
		Vendor/
			App/
			Public/
				images/ 	#common images
				styles/ 	#common styles
			Base.php 		#extends Solar_Cont'rl_Page
			Base/
				Layouts/	#common layout templates
				Views/	#common views
				Locale/	#common locale files
			News.php 		#extends Vendor_App_Base
			News/
	site1/
		Site1/
			App/
			Public/
				images/ 	#site specific images
				styles/ 	#site specific style
			Base.php 		#extends Vendor_App_Base
			Base/
			Main.php 		#extends Site1_App_Bas
			Main/

	site2/
		Site2/
			App/
			....etc etc

My problem is this:
If I try and use the Vendor_App_News application class in Site1, as it is 
extended from Vendor_App_Base and not Site1_App_Base it loads the 
Vendor_App_Base_Layout templates and not Site1_App_Base_Layout templates.

All I am trying to do is prevent duplication of classes and code between 
projects on certain common application for example a news application. 

My Vendor Base class sets up all basic common layout/style etc and Site1 Base 
class then overides and load any site specific layout/style stuff.

Am I barking up the wrong tree trying to do it this way?
Should I expect to have to duplicate some classes?
