how to define default template path in controller

StudentsController extendeds my basic RESTful UsersController. Student is a named_scope in my User model.

I'd like the students controller to render templates in app/views/ users/, not app/views/students/. How can I do this DRYly without redefining all the methods in UsersController?

# entire students_controller.rb class StudentsController < UsersController   protected   def find_users     @users = User.student.find(:all)   end   def find_user     @user = User.student.find(params[:id])   end end

# relevant parts of users_controller.rb class UsersController < ApplicationController   before_filter :find_users, :only => [:index]   def index     respond_to do |format|       format.html # index.html.erb       format.xml { render :xml => @users }     end   end   #... other REST methods   protected   def find_users     @users = User.find(:all)   end   def find_user     @user = User.find(params[:id])   end end

When I GET /students... Template is missing Missing template students/index.html.erb in view path /Path/To/MyApp/ app/views

In StudentsController I tried: append_view_path("/Path/To/MyApp/app/ views/users")... Template is missing Missing template students/index.html.erb in view path /Path/To/MyApp/ app/views:/Path/To/MyApp/app/views/users

Any ideas? Is there a better approach entirely? Perhaps some magic routing?

Thanks!
