Laravel loads the views from what is defined in the config/view.php

True, but just like your config files in your package there has to be a way to say in my service provider where my package views are located beceause I'm not using the workbench command I have a custom directory structure.

I've never tried views and custom packages together. You might wanna checkout the http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/packages page. I think that's what you're looking for.

public function boot()
{
    $this->loadViewsFrom(__DIR__.'/path/to/views', 'courier');
}

True and that works fine I have used it myself but that peace of code only works in a Laravel 5 package. And the package I'am currently developing is for laravel 4.2 so that code is not going to work.

Thanks for your input and help.
