Look into allowing theme extensions to extend base templates

[aron.carroll]

For example:

Creating a template in ckanext-demo/templates/base.html containing something like

{% ckan_extends "base.html" %}

Will extend ckan/templates/base.html

@aron,

To clarify this a bit.

We want this so that a extension can create a new template say dataset/read.html but rather than rewriting the core template in ckan it can extend it in the same way as {% extends %}.

The main difference is that {% ckan_extends 'template.html' %} would walk the ckan template tree rather than the extensions template tree.

Is that what we are thinking?

Toby yeah, that's exactly it.
