README
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
Easy poppy: composer require monsieurbiz/mbiz_iwantmysymlinksback=dev-master
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!
You can allow or disallow symlinks like before 🎉.
