Can I include a view in Kohana 3 that is not within `application/views`?
- by alex
I am building a staff area for a website, which is completely different to the main brochure style site.
I have 2 Kohana systems setup. I realise they can both share the same system and modules folder.
Now, with the second one, I want to make the main template view a view in a different folder.
I tried this in my base controller
$this->template = DOCROOT . '../~new2/application/views/template.php';
But Kohana is looking for it in its own views folder as evident by the error I received. I even put a var_dump(file_exists($this->template)); // true to be sure it was finding the correct file.
Is there a way to add a template file that is not within the views folder, without hacking the core Kohana code (and if I'm lucky not extending and overloading the view class).
