There has been no suggestions on this. Perhaps the question was not very well explained?
I have a model called Product that has an attribute called product_type. I have another model called Quote which creates a quote for a Product. Quote belongs to Product. And a QuoteController. How do I get the QuoteController to use a different view for its actions dependent upon the product_type? In general most product_types will use the "normal" set of views for a quote so it would be excellent if the QuoteController was able to use the specific product_type views if they exist and if not fall back to the default set. Further thinking in the OP below. Any ideas gratefully received. O.
