This plugin sets a new document's template automatically to the one it's siblings have or, if it has no siblings, to the one it's parent has.

/**
* This is a copy of "autotemplate" a MODx plugin written @Maarten.
* On November, 19th 2014 it is still not available for revo 2.3.x,
* As it seems to be fully functional I post it here as "inheritTemplate" for future reference.
*
* Usage: Create a new plugin "inheritTemplate" and trigger it on onDocFormRender
*
* Changelog
* 2014-11-26 - stop plugin if isset($_GET['template']) is true.
* (had to add this line to stop the plugin from messing with autotemplate set by collections)
