We actually have 5 template directories so it is easiest to keep the cache dir separate. It also keeps the live environment similar to the dev environment so easier for debugging etc.
However, even just subclassing getFunctionName is a problem because we actually need to change a couple of lines of code in the middle of the function. The only way to do this is to copy/paste the whole function and make the changes we need. The function calls 2 private functions in the parent class so unless I change those to be protected instead of private the code won't run (not allowed to call the parent private functions from within the subclass). While this is a bit of a hack it is something I'm willing to support for the moment. What I'd really like to do, however, is move the calculation of the hash or, possibly just the path used within the hash, into the Source classes so anyone wishing to provide a new Source would be able to control this. The timestamp method is already called on the Source. It might be possible to modify getRealPath() in a Source instead but a scan through the code suggests this is used in a number of places both for finding the original templates and generating the hashes. Obviously if you feel I could change this to a 'fake' path without breaking anything then I can use this instead :D In case anyone is wondering why I'm going to this effort, we are looking to deploy our live code in a signed, read only Phar. We want to modify the live environment so that the only php allowed to execute is within a signed Phar in order to add a strong new layer to our site security.
