1) I get Rails Application Error when trying to use layout test_controller def list layout "stdlayout" end in the views/test/layouts stdlayout.rhtml <html> <head><title>test</title></head> </body> <h1>Test</h1> <%= content_for_layout %> </body> </html> 2) I get Rails Application Error when trying to use a separate display page I create a method in the test_controller def welcome end in test/views I create an html page called welcome.rhtml what am I missing ? thanks.
John, I believe you want to use <%= @content_for_layout %> and not 'content_for_layout.' I also believe the method #layout is a class method that shouldn't be placed inside an action: class TestController layout 'stdlayout' ... actions go here... If you want to have a specific layout for an action, try (for the API): def help render :action => "help/index", :layout => "help" end - Derek On 12/31/05, John Taber <jtaber@johntaber.net> wrote: > 1) I get Rails Application Error when trying to use layout > > test_controller > def list > layout "stdlayout" > end > > in the views/test/layouts stdlayout.rhtml > <html> > <head><title>test</title></head> > </body> > <h1>Test</h1> > <%= content_for_layout %> > </body> > </html> > > 2) I get Rails Application Error when trying to use a separate display page > > I create a method in the test_controller > def welcome > end > > in test/views I create an html page called welcome.rhtml > > what am I missing ? thanks. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails > -- Derek Haynes HighGroove Studios - http://www.highgroove.com Atlanta, GA Keeping it Simple. 404.593.4879
Thanks, but neither the layouts or custom html pages are working - still getting application errors (vers. 1.0 and ruby 1.8.3 ubuntu). Something seems really wrong not to be able to do these things after spending hours with it. I'm either really missing something or maybe rails is still too fragile/inflexible for our needs at this point.

What is the trace of the ApplicationError? Without that, it's pretty tough to figure out what's wrong. - Derek On 12/31/05, John Taber <jtaber@johntaber.net> wrote: > Thanks, but neither the layouts or custom html pages are working - still > getting application errors (vers. 1.0 and ruby 1.8.3 ubuntu).

In the case of 1) the layout should be in app>views>layouts, not app>views>test>layouts and as pointed out in another reply, layout should be at the class level, not inside a method and you want @content_for_layout not content_for_layout. For 2), what error are you getting specifically? What's in your development.log?

Thanks all for suggestions. Actually the layout is in views/layouts - I
just mistyped in email. I have shown vital info & log below. The
default scaffold list without layout works fine. I get similar error
when trying to use a separate/custom page (ie welcome, help, ... etc)
beyond the standard scaffold stuff. And I cannot find any examples of such.
class AgenciesController < ApplicationController
layout 'stdlayout'
def index
list
render :action => 'list'
end
def list
@agency_pages, @agencies = paginate :agencies, :per_page => 10
end
.../app/views/layouts/stdlayout.rhtml
<html>
<head><title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>login screen</h1>
<%= @content_for_layout %>

What are the names of your models / tables used with this
controller / action?
Thanks.
