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 🎉.
