how can I set the template directory outside of /application/views or may be on /themes

MrAnchovy commented 12 years ago

That is not currently supported, but:

you can work around it by specifying the full path to a template with View::factory('/path/to/my/template.tpl')
you can edit if ( ($path = Kohana::find_file('views', $file, ''))===FALSE ) { in smarty3/classes/smarty/view.php
I am currently working on a themeing module for Kohana which will work with PHP and Smarty templates, and possibly Twig and Kostache too. Alpha before the end of the year.

Thought about this a bit more, it would be a simple change to have the directory set in config/smarty.php. In fact there is no reason this should not be an array - the results are cached so there is no penalty. I will fix it.
