Loading javascript/css blesta core from outside template

[Blesta Addons]

in every release blesta update some files that are used in templates. and this can lead as to every time update the template folder with a cloned files from bootsrap folder, like the blesta-X.X.0 and some template files, we prefer if blesta make at least blesta-X.X.X loaded from another placement that is not related to a custom folder created by user, why not create a new vendor folder called javascript and put in it all the core javascript files .

also it would be nice to update the view in case of a pdt file is not exist in the custom template try to load it from the boostrap folder, this way if a custom file exist use it, if not load the default one (same approuch for a lot of CMS like wordpres, e107 ... ect ) , with this tip developper will concentrate only in a part that will be changed based in their design and is easy to make a revision in case for new release . a sample tip by updating the view Class

        if (!file_exists($file)) {
			// Use default template file in case the file not exist in the custom template folder
			$file = $this->container->get('minphp.constants')['ROOTWEBDIR']
				. $this->view_path . 'views' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR
				. 'client' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'bootstrap' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $this->file . $this->view_ext;
        } elseif (!file_exists($file)) {
            throw new Exception(sprintf('Files does not exist: %s', $file));
		}

in my template folder i have only about 3 changed core files, all others are fetched from the bootstrap folder .

I'm not sure what you mean by this:

As for the idea of falling back to the default template if a file is unavailable, that may be something we could support in the future.

That is another solution.
