I’m doing the same thing. You can set it on a view-by-view basis. Just modify the view function in your hello_web.ex file so it starts like this:

  def view(opts \\ [root: "lib/hello_web/templates"]) do
    opts = opts ++ [namespace: HelloWeb]

    quote do
      use Phoenix.View, unquote(opts)

At the bottom of the file add a second macro to the one that is already there:

  defmacro __using__({which, opts}) when is_atom(which) do
    apply(__MODULE__, which, [opts])
  end

Now start every view where you want to override the template location with code like this:

defmodule HelloWeb.UserView do
  use HelloWeb, {:view, [root: "lib/hello_web/user/templates", path: ""]}

That should do the trick!
