Make partials work in Alephant

[Guntrisoft]

We'd like to include common mustache templates using mustache partials.

Currently by default it will look for partials in the current directory, but as we have different queues in the election data renderer project it's not possible to store them in the same directory.

We have got around this issue by setting the following in our view model:

self.template_path = File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../lib/templates/'

It would be nice for this to be set somewhere in Alephant::Views::Base - however the only caveat with that, is that '/../../lib/templates/' is very specific to the election data renderer project.

Perhaps we can call a static method on Alephant::Views::Base from the election data renderer project which sets a path for partials?

I vote for class level (static) method which will allow you to set this value.

I'll get round to this any day now ...

@kenoir glad to hear it, I've been waiting all this time ;)
