= Status
 
inherit_views works on rails 2.0-stable and 2.1-stable.  To get this version checkout the rails-2.0-2.1 branch
 
  git clone git://github.com/ianhwite/inherit_views rails-2.0-2.1
  
inherit_views is broken on edge at the moment.  Edge's view internals have changed a lot, and so I'm working on a rewrite for edge.  This is found in the master branch
 
= inherit_views
 
This plugin allows your controllers to inherit their views from parent controllers.  The default behaviour is to inherit along the ancestor path of the controller, but you can also specify custom inherit view paths to search.
 
NOTE: this plugin is not aimed at having multiple view paths for your controllers, which is addressed with the view_paths addition to ActionController::Base for rails 2.0.  Rather, within these view paths, you can inherit views from other controller paths.
 
Example:
 
  class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
    inherit_views
  end
 
  class FooController < ApplicationController
    # will look for views in 'views/foo', then 'views/application'
  end
 
  class BarController < FooController
    # will look for views in 'views/bar', then 'views/foo', then 'view/application'
  end
