/** 
    * 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)
