Description: ------------ Steps to reproduce: 1) Copy the converters directory to a place outside the PEAR directory 2) Copy the templates for HandS to HandS2 in the new directory 3) Run phpdoc on a project using phpdoc --output "HTML:Smarty:HandS2" --templatebase DIRECTORY where DIRECTORY is the directory that contains the converters directory 4) It will complain: ERROR: template directory "/path/to/pear/data/PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/Converters/HTML/Smarty/templates/HandS2/" does not exist while it should look in the templateBase directory Initial investigation of cause: In Convertor.inc is Converter::setTemplateBase called by Converter::setTemplateDir. But that function never receives the templateBase parameter, it takes an educated guess base on the installation directory. Possible solution: Pass the templateBase directory to the Convertor class. Expected result: ---------------- phpDocumentor would take the templates (*.tpl) files from that directory. Actual result: -------------- phpDocumentor takes the Converor from the templateBase directory, but the templates from the PEAR data directory.

Think this has the same root cause as 13653

Committed fix to SVN... thanks for the hints, Steven.
