Extending View File issue. - El Forum - 07-07-2010

Hi,
I am having a problem with loading view files.
I don't really understand how the system is getting the path to view files. I have an external place where some view files are being stored.
I wrote this little hack to extend the loader class.
Code:
public function view_page($file, $data, $load, $path) {
$sys_path = $this->_ci_view_path;
$this->_ci_view_path = $path;
$this->view($file, $data, $load);
$this->_ci_view_path = $sys_path;
}Does anyone know how to do this properly?
For some reason the ob_start() on line 665 of Loader.php seems to be the breaking point. The view file path can be printed out before ob_start() yet not after. Other view files load fine.

I solved this, I was forgetting to return the function.
This is the updated function.
Is there a better way to do this?
Code:
public function view_page($file, $data, $load, $path) {
$sys_path = $this->_ci_view_path;
$this->_ci_view_path = $path;
$result = $this->view($file, $data, $load);
$this->_ci_view_path = $sys_path;
return $result;

Leave view files where they belong

[/quote]This unfortunately is not an option. The application requires a degree of separation between core files / modules and themes. Placing these files in different subdirectories of the views folder unfortunately is not enough.
