Multiple "view" directories to achieve rails "themes"

Rails
1

Hi

I’d like to have various “themes” for my site that cannot be achieved
by changing the CSS or anything else.

So my directory structure might look like this:

app
\ views
-
\ users
\ blogs
-
\ THEME2
-
\ users
\ blogs

(where the two “users” directories contain all the erb or haml)

With my controllers - is there a way to conditionally insert the
“theme2” directory into the view path before the erb/haml gets
searched for and rendered ???

Would be nice to no have to explicitly call render

I’m using rails3

Any ideas?

thanks!

Maybe I just need to ask it this way:

At the end of every action the “render” function is called
automatically with no options (unless the programmer explicitly calls
it).

Any clues as to how I would override that method to modify the folder
path for the “view” files?

Any tips would be heaps appreciated

thanks guys
