Organizing your Views templates
Last modified: May 17, 2009 - 18:43
When a site has a large quantity of views it can make organizing them and remembering what they do difficult. However it is possible to create a sub-directory inside the theme directory and organize the template files in a sub-directory. If a site has many views it is possible to further separate these into additional sub-directories.
This is one possible structure:
theme_root
+ views
+ view_name
+ display_name (with template files inside)
+ another_display_name (with template files inside)
+ another_view_name
+ display_nameWhen the theme registry is cleared, the sub dirs will be registered as containing the template files.
and node view ?
is it possible to store the node-view-nameoftheview.tpl.php in these folder too ?
If it's possible, which name to choose for the template ?

Rescan Views Templates
It is important to note that if you move views templates into a views folder, you will need to go back and click 'rescan templates'. This is found on the actual view edit interface. Lower left look for 'Theme: Information'.
