Rails controller view path and lookup context prefixes
# While having issues with to_partial_path on a view model giving inconsistent results under differing name spaces of controllers
# I use the below to see that the look up path and view paths were on an controller and modify.
# I've never put the below into production. This is merely something I found while experimenting.
# To sort my issue I used the prefixes avaialable and changed name spacing to give correct behaviour
class SomeController < ApplicationController
# Prepending (or appending) the view path allows you to add the location of view files
before_filter :prepend_view_paths
def prepend_view_paths
prepend_view_path "app/views/backoffice"
end
# the look up context prefix is used as the prefix for to_partial_path on views. You can add to this with the below.
# Be aware it will affect all of your applications lookup_contexts so you need to clear
def index
lookup_context.prefixes.prepend 'backoffice'
end
