In my umbraco root folder i have a dev folder that mirrors the files I'm working with in Umbrao (the masterpages and CSS folders for example). Is it possible to make umbraco look for a master page in the dev folder? If it's possible it'd be awesome to do something like this when testing your code.
Thanks, that did work. But it was not possible to change folder on the fly. When i updated the web.config with the new path i had to create a new masterpage from within Umbraco for it to work. So having all my alt dev templates in its own separate folder will probably not be possible at all :/.

Hi Johan,
Yes, you can set the path for the masterpages in a Web.config appSetting:
You can do this with most of the other filepaths too: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/webconfig/additional-umbraco-specific-appsettings
Cheers, Lee.
