I''ve combed over the api, the classes, and even the file itself and I can''t seem to figure it out. The closest line I can find that shows a relevant area of the layout I wish to change is undocumented in layout.rb of action_controller: def layout_list #:nodoc: Array(view_paths).sum([]) { |path| Dir["#{path.to_str}/layouts/**/*"] } end All starting layouts are pointing to app/views/layouts/**/* I wish to point the initial starting point to: public/themes/**/* I already have my layouts being decided based off model values within an options set. I can easily point it to any new layout within the themes folder but the starting point is wrong. How do I change this from the default starting point to the new starting point? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

For clarification, If I try to go to a page on my site which has the correct (route to the layout), I receive this error: Missing layout public/themes/default/layouts/application.erb in view path app/views So, the public/themes/default/layouts/application.erb is correct but the starting path of app/views is not. I want the starting path to be changed from app/views to public/themes (but only for layouts), not for templates. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Okay, I managed to figure it out but I''m not sure it''s the best way of doing it. I placed the following code in environment.rb: ActionController::Base.view_paths = ["app/views", "public/themes"] So, it looks in both view paths and in app/views there are no layouts and in public/themes the layouts exist under the theme name. So far, everything is working great and I don''t see any performance issues. But, the question is - Is there a better way to do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
