Possible Restriction Solution: custom templates must be defined in vendor atk4/ui

ui/src/App.php

Line 424 in fa52a36

public function loadTemplate($name)

Suggested Code is

    public function loadTemplate($name)
    {
        $template = new \atk4\ui\Template();
        $template->app = $this;
        if (in_array($name[0], ['.', '/', '\\']) || strpos($name, ':\\') !== false) {
            $template->load($name);
        } else {
        	if(is_array($this->template_dir)){
        		foreach ($this->template_dir as $td) {
        			if(file_exists($td.'/'.$name)){
			            $template->load($td.'/'.$name);
			            break;
        			}
        		}
        	}else{
	            $template->load($this->template_dir.'/'.$name);
        	}
        }

        return $template;
    }

user class can override this class variable as

namespace your\namespace;

class App extends \atk4\ui\App {
    use \atk4\core\SessionTrait;
    use \atk4\core\NameTrait;
...

    public function __construct($defaults = [])
	{
		parent::__construct($defaults);
		$this->template_dir = [
			getcwd().'/../vendor/atk4/ui/template/'.$this->skin,
			getcwd().'/template',
		];
	}

here we have defined paths from our working directory location that is "DocumentRoot/admin" and vendor is in parent directory but user can define as per their need.

The path elements sequence defined precedence here

By this way, $this->template_dir can be override in User App class with array and user can create custom templates anywhere.
