PhalconPHP - Moving the controller-related view folders

Question

I'm developing an application using the PhalconPHP framework, as my application grows larger and larger my views folder is becoming rather messy.

Currently my views folder looks like this:

views_layouts
    |_index_..
    |_blog_..
    |_news_..
    |_etc_..

Is there any way to move my controller related folder to a seperate folder named pages so my directory structure looks like this?

views_layouts_index.volt
    |       |_blog.volt
    |       |_news.volt
    |       |_etc.volt
    |
    |_pages_index_..
          |_blog_..
          |_news_..
          |_etc_..

Answer 1

I was able to fix this myself by editing the ControllerBase class.

// Change the default views directory to /app/views/pages/
$moduleName = $this->dispatcher->getControllerName();     // Eg: blog
$actionName = $this->dispatcher->getActionName();         // Eg: index
$this->view->pick("pages/$moduleName/$actionName");       // Result: "pages/blog/index"

You can even call pick() multiple times to override any view in your controllers.
