Lithium Views in Sub-directories - php

Question

I am working on a website using the Lithium framework for PHP, and I need to have two sub-directories (ie. for admin and blog) with my controllers and views:
-controllers
-admin
HomeController.php
...
-blog
HomeController.php
...
HomeController.php
...
-views
-admin
-home
index.html.php
...
...
-blog
-home
index.html.php
...
...
-layouts
default.html.php
admin.html.php
blog.html.php
So far, I have discovered the way to allow the use of sub-domains in the controller using the Dispach::config() method:
Dispatcher::config(array('rules' => array(
'admin' => array('controller' => 'app\controllers\admin\{:controller}Controller'),
'blog' => array('controller' => 'app\controllers\blog\{:controller}Controller'),
)));
This works when you use the following routing:
$options = array('continue' => true);
Router::connect('/admin', array(
'admin' => true,
'controller' => 'Home'
), $options);
Router::connect('/admin/{:args}', array(
'admin' => true
), $options);
Router::connect('/blog', array(
'blog' => true,
'controller' => 'Home'
), $options);
Router::connect('/blog/{:args}', array(
'blog' => true
), $options);
Now the problem I am having is that I can't figure out how to set it to automatically use the admin/blog template and admin/blog view folders.

You could override default templates paths thanks to Media.
The filter above sets different paths for admin requests (in config/bootstrap/media.php).
Dispatcher::applyFilter('_callable', function($self, $params, $chain) {
$next = $chain->next($self, $params, $chain);
if ($params['request']->admin) {
Media::type('default', null, array(
'view' => 'lithium\template\View',
'paths' => array(
'layout' => '{:library}/views/layouts/{:layout}.{:type}.php',
'template' => '{:library}/views/admin/{:controller}/{:template}.{:type}.php'
)
));
}
return $next;
});
