Yeah, you’re just thinking of it backwards. The “local” handlers, views, etc are used first if they exist. If they don’t, THEN the external location is checked. I have a lot of handlers and views that share between several sites. I keep all the shared stuff in a “common” folder as externals and the actual site roots are pretty bare. I only put a handler or view in the actual site root if I need to “override” the external. Also, keep in mind that local handlers can literally override the external class so you can just modify a single method.
“I created a unique handler in the externals and that does not get triggered properly either”
Can you expand on that?
Thanks!
