After looking at action view source, I moved on.
I want to have a render "nav" call in my layout, and control how the "_nav"
partial is found. I have several nested controllers which may well render
the same nav. I could add another _nav in the view path, which just calls
render "full_path/nav", or I can change my controller hierarchy, but I was
looking for a way to do it so that if you have a directory structure like:
views/
widgets/
_nav.haml
components/
The render "nav" call for a components/view would check components, then go
up to widgets, and so on. The problem is, since components_controller
doesn't extend widgets_controller, the partial path for the widgets
directory isn't included.
Ideally I could have a before_filter in the controller and call:
append_partial_path "views/widgets"
This way when calling render "nav" it will check components, then widgets,
then go on up. This seems somewhat related:
https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/2045. I think partial lookup hierarchy
should follow view hierarchy rather than controller hierarchy.
