Edge rails has something I really want/need, the ability to have a list of paths searched when trying to locate a view template file, basically they have changed the single template_root path to an array called view_paths.
Here is a link to the a modified ActionController::Base
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/actionpack/lib/action_controller/base.rb?rev=6120
starting on line 360, they have this bit
369 @@view_paths = {} 370 371 # View load paths determine the bases from which template references can be made. So a call to 372 # render("test/template") will be looked up in the view load paths array and the closest match will be 373 # returned. 374 def view_paths=(value) 375 @@view_paths[name] = value 376 end
my question is where does the name come from on line 375 ! ie the key for the hash ???
Also, any advice on how to pluck out just the view_paths stuff and add to my stable 1.2.3 ?
