[Nitro] @template_root not set for secondary controllers

[Peter Abrahamsen]

George,

The answer to this is that compiler.rb doesn't instantiate the  
controller class before calling template_root. Class attributes are  
private, so you have to write a class method. The following code made  
my controller work:

def PlayerController.template_root
   'template/player'
end

In tracking this down, it looks like Nitro guesses the location of  
the template based on the path name. I thought I'd be able to put my  
code in template/players, but for some reason this didn't work. I  
haven't looked into it any more now that I have something that works.

As you say, this system could use some improvement. You know what'd  
be appropriate better than I, but an automatic template_root()  
inserted by compiler.rb and usable like action, pre, post, etc, is  
obvious. But perhaps it would be most correct to have it typically  
set from run.rb?

Cheers, P
