[Catalyst] Best prcatice: same back-end, different UI

[Jason Galea]

Hi Julien,

I've used a couple of different tactics..

assuming you are subclassing Catalyst::View::TT for your view you can do:

  $c->stash->{additional_template_paths} = [$c->config->{root}.'/'.$theme_dir];

in your controller, auto, chain, whatever. This will tell TT to look
for templates there first.

You can also hook right into TT utilising the fact that the
INCLUDE_PATHS config can be filled dynamically..

http://template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/Config.html#section_INCLUDE_PATH

my $template = Template->new({
    INCLUDE_PATH => [ '/usr/local/templates',
                      \&incpath_generator,
                      My::IncPath::Generator->new( ... ) ],
});

cheers,

J
