Re: Multiple files for the same template

One thing I''m working on is as follows:

1) Add a constant BRAND, in the environment
2) Change the template path to be /BRAND/...
3) Catch MissingTemplate exceptions
4) If the BRAND appears in the path, remove it and retry, else, rethrow

What does eveyone think?
Where should this code go in a plugin?  (IE, into which class/method)
