📄 Description

Summary

Resolves #1484 where CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR configuration was being ignored.

The setting was previously removed from ServerConfig and hardcoded as a constant, preventing users from customizing the templates directory location.

Changes

Added CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR field to StorageConfig in common.py
Updated settings.py to use STORAGE_CONFIG.CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR
Updated paths.py to use configurable value in version output

Usage

Users can now configure the custom templates directory via:

ArchiveBox.conf: CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR = ./custom_templates
Environment variable: export CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR=/path/to/templates
Defaults to DATA_DIR/user_templates if not configured

Generated with Claude Code

Summary by cubic

Bug Fixes
- Added CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR to StorageConfig.
- Updated settings.py and paths.py to read STORAGE_CONFIG.CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR.
Migration
