  def render_plugin_views(name, options = {})
        output = ""
        Hooks::View.plugin_views.each do |view|
          if view[:name] == name
            if view[:partial]
              # Set the template root, create the template method and call the partial
              _template_root = File.join(view[:plugin].path, "views")
              template_location = _template_root / _template_location("_#{view[:partial]}", content_type, view[:name])
              template_method = Merb::Template.template_for(template_location)
  
              output << send(template_method, options)
            else
              # Render the specified text using ERB and the options
              output << Proc.new { |args| ERB.new(view[:content]).result(binding) }.call(options[:with])
            end
          end
        end
        # Return the view markup generated by plugins
        output
      end
  

  This badboy needs to be fixed for edge.

  wycats also suggested that we did not rely on Merb::Template.template_for's behaviour, as it is a private method and thus likely to change without impunity. He also suggested we use a partial for this behaviour, but I couldn't quite wrap my head around how

  perhaps a merb-part? (http://yehudakatz.com/2007/09/06... they mention our exact use case:

  Can we pull the parts and associated views out into gems to make drop-in components for a range of applications?

  @smoot: yep. by using __FILE__ in your gem to set the _template_root in the part, you should be able to stick parts into gems and then load them via part.

  Right, so Ed, Nolan and I played idea tennis, and thought about dynamically loading views from plugins. I'm yet to test/implement this, but as a start, I've fixed the rendering of plugins hooks.

  In order to get this working, I make a pretty epic assumption, err, mandate; in your partial hook view, you must reference the object passed (with :with =>) as a downcased, singular version of the object you're passing (Articles => article)
