Rails: How to change the views folder

class ActionController::Base
  def self.inherited(klass)
    klass.append_view_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),'app','views'))
    super
  end
end
you could place something like: 
def set_default_views_folder
self.append_view_path(File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'app', 'views', 'YOU SPECIAL FOLDER')
end
to your ApplicationController, then on every request you can append an otherĀ 
search path to the default views path.
