[dancer-users] Different INCLUDE_PATH for localized sites

[Lee Carmichael]

Hi Gabor,

I hope things are good with you.

I was doing something somewhat similar. I ended up creating a custom view
class since i had the same  issues with adding to the TT INCLUDE_PATH.

Here is quick blog post with code on what i did:

Sorry its not too verbose but please ask any questions and I'll do my best
to remember WTF i was doing back then :)

Take Care,

Lee
