How to add another path where views can be found. I have an app located in Rails.root/vendor/myapp and have Rails.root/vendor/myapp/views/myctrl folder for view templates. It can be done by render :file ...., but it is ugly. How can I add my views path to paths list where it would be automatically found by Rails controller. by TheR -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Rails version doesn''t matter to me because I only send code for 3.2
but that aside since it''s not working with the first put it into a
before_filter method or you can just provide before_filter with a

```ruby
MyController < ApplicationController
before_filter {
prepend_view_path(Rails.root.join("vendor/myapp/views/myctrl").to_s)

Actually, it shows that the path is not being added because I forgot
to join the paths. Added is subjective of course, it''s there
it''s
just not there properly which to me it is not there because it''s not
the intended behavior it should be:
```ruby
config.paths["app/views"].unshift(Rails.root.join("/vendor/myapp/views/myctrl").to_s)
```
The to_s might not be needed, I don''t quite remember if Rails will
work with Pathname on app/views or if it expects a string, but based
on it''s output I would expect it to always want to work with a string.

It works now. It looks that path must exist to be included in the searched paths list. by TheR -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
