Wish: Make Template::filenameExists hookable

[Oliver]

I just wanted to vote for making Template class’ filenameExists method hookable. Would become handy as soon as you don’t want to work with native template files the usual way without all pages being marked as not viewable.

BTW: As the hook method viewable provided by PagePermissions is the main problem here, it would be good to know if it were possible to override existing hooks of other modules somehow. Just a thought.

It is possible to hook into hooks.

Maybe the new addition Change Page Template in Fieldtype Select File could help you out. What it does is render the selected template instead of the normal template file. So it's possible to have no template file for the page template, thus not viewable, but after selecting a file and page save, the page is viewable with the selected one.
