Custom path for layout

Hello everyone. Please tell me how to set the different path for the layout. Now if you specify setViewsDir, layout will be search layout in a subfolder "layouts". I want to ask for an independent path layout, not depending on the location of the folder views.

//Sorry for Google Translate :)

$this->view->setLayoutsDir("/layouts");

This is not work for me, path will be "view/layouts", when i set path for the view directory - $this->view->setViewsDir('views'), Phalcon automatic search layout in subfolder "layouts"

layouts is relative from the base view.

You can always do "../../../where your thing is/"
