Question

I’m working on a rails 3 application which has different sub domains for specific users or mobile devices.

This is how the view structure looks like:

app/

—-views/

——–mobile/

——–admin/

It is possible to add a new view path to the pathset by simple calling

prepend_view_path(some_path)

or

append_view_path(some_path)

Now, I would like to remove them too.

Is there any way to remove any of the previously added paths from a controllers path_set?
I didn’t find any useful methods in the API and when using the standard methods I’d use on an array (like delete_at for instance) I get following RuntimeError:

can't modify frozen array

I already use different mime types for request from mobile devices for instance. It is not too bad if I can’t remove added paths. I’m just looking for a way to reset to the “default” view paths.

Rails provides other two getter and setter methods – view_paths() and view_paths= methods respectively. I believe using ‘view_paths=’ method, you can remove the dynamically appended view path.
