Re: use alternative view folder?

I am doing something similar for A/B testing and also to present
different checkout pages to users depending on which country they come
from.

I have several views for the affected actions, named whatever-a.ctp,
whatever-b.ctp .... and in the controller put a call to $this-
render() at the end of the action to specify which version to render.

In my case this simple approach works great but I am using it for a
couple of actions, if you need to apply it to a whole project then you
should look for another solution that probably implies changing the
views folder on the fly.

Regards
