Plugin Development with route for html.partial
I am developing a plugin in Version 7. How do I configure Umbraco so that this:
```
   @Html.Partial("~/App_Plugins/SiteData/Views/Shared/_dbButtons.cshtml")
```
can be shortened to this:
```
   @Html.Partial("_dbButtons")
```

Hi Graham

In MVC you can add new locations for searching for Views, by creating a new ViewEngine...

... that said...

Umbraco already has a PluginViewEngine

https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/7ee510ed386495120666a78c61497f58ff05de8f/src/Umbraco.Web/Mvc/PluginViewEngine.cs

which looks like to me is already searching in the location you are describing:

  AreaPartialViewLocationFormats = new[]
            {
                //will be used when we have partial view and child action macros
                string.Concat(SystemDirectories.AppPlugins, "/{2}/Views/Partials/{0}.cshtml"),
                string.Concat(SystemDirectories.AppPlugins, "/{2}/Views/Partials/{0}.vbhtml"),
                string.Concat(SystemDirectories.AppPlugins, "/{2}/Views/MacroPartials/{0}.cshtml"),
                string.Concat(SystemDirectories.AppPlugins, "/{2}/Views/MacroPartials/{0}.vbhtml"),                    
                //for partials                    
                string.Concat(SystemDirectories.AppPlugins, "/{2}/Views/{1}/{0}.cshtml"),
                string.Concat(SystemDirectories.AppPlugins, "/{2}/Views/{1}/{0}.vbhtml"),
                string.Concat(SystemDirectories.AppPlugins, "/{2}/Views/Shared/{0}.cshtml"),
                string.Concat(SystemDirectories.AppPlugins, "/{2}/Views/Shared/{0}.vbhtml")
            };

so I'd expect your shortened version to work...

regards

Marc
