Hello!

for example

`discourse/app/views/list/list.erb`

I created this file in the plugin: `text/app/views/list/list.erb` (And I copied the contents of the original file there)  
In the file: `plugin.rb`

Need to specify a connection?

```
enabled_site_setting :text_enabled
load File.expand_path('../app/views/list/list.erb', __FILE__ )

```

Unfortunately, I did not find how to do it.
