I Want My Symlinks Back
=======================

[](#i-want-my-symlinks-back)

The story...
------------

[](#the-story)

Magento decided to disallow symlinks in the patch SUPEE-9767. For people like us who works with composer, symlinks are a good system to dynamically add modules.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Easy poppy: `composer require monsieurbiz/mbiz_iwantmysymlinksback=dev-master`

Action!
-------

[](#action)

So this module re-activate the configuration in backend:

`System > Configuration > Advanced > Developer > Template Settings`

It also removes the warning block which is not necessary anymore.

Profit!
-------

[](#profit)

You can allow or disallow symlinks like before 🎉.
