Laravel 4: Load External View -

i'm moving codeigniter laravel 4 , haven't been able find decent way load view external application. setup 10-15 apps own laravel installation. these apps unique apps. however, use same template , don't want have 10-15 copies of same file throughout apps. so, i'm trying figure out way share template among these apps. did in codeigniter loading external view , providing path centralized location contained template file. best practice in laravel make happen?

edit: i'm not sure if did job explaining i'm trying do. basically, have blade layout file want use template of apps. i'm trying avoid having copy , paste file every installation. of these installations on same server want centralized location store blade layout file , use each app.

in laravel can set many paths views in app/conf/views.php:

/* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | view storage paths |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | templating systems load templates disk. here may specify | array of paths should checked views. of course | usual laravel view path has been registered you. | */  'paths' => array(__dir__.'/../views'), 

you can add external path there , laravel try find views in new path.

you can this:

'paths' => array(__dir__.'/../views', '/var/www/'), 

and in application use

return view::make('myotherapp/views/users/show'); 

and laravel find file

/var/www/myotherapp/views/users/show.php 

for you.
