Change Admin View in plugin Nopcommerce

Question

I would like to change the view Views/Manufacturer/_CreateOrUpdate.cshtmlfrom within my plugin.

I know that in the public site you just drop your custom view in your theme's View folder however for admin I am not sure how to override an existing view.

Anyone know how to do this?

Answer 2

You can put condition in existing view that if user is admin /// your code else default functionality.

if(User.IsInRole("Admin")) { //your code } else { //default code }
