FWIW I, too, have a huge application driving 20 subdomains. The "owners" of some of the subdomains need their own "skins" so I've been looking through this.
My possible solution is to use bootstrap. 1. Add code to bootstrap to extend add 2 paths to $viewPaths[]. (1) The relevant subdomains path and (2) the default path 2. Rename views to "themes" 3. Create folders as required for each subdomain This way render will look for the template in the normal location: always fail then it will look for the template in the error folder: always fail look for it in the subdomain folder: if success, it will use this else look for it in themes path: always success I'm using cake 1.1 but from the discussion above it doesn't look like this has changed and it means I don't have to change core files. -- View this message in context: http://cakephp.1045679.n5.nabble.com/use-alternative-view-folder-tp3404605p4881443.html Sent from the CakePHP mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
