MVC4 Custom View Engine

Question

I'm having trouble implementing the MVC4 Custom View Engine to override the default locations for partial views. I implemented the code in this example .

My problem is that before creating CreatePartialView an error occurs if the path does not match the value in the PartialViewLocationFormats array when starting / executing HTML.Partial. Nothing will match, since the goal of this implementation is to have dynamic paths. Any insight would be appreciated.

Just put the path in your path, not the default, so MVC set partialPath from another source, for example, passing it for viewing from the controller or creating a search class.

return base.CreatePartialView(controllerContext, **partialPath** );
