Greetings, I am working on extending a new part of our site to use Ruby on Rails, and have several portions of the site that is included in external files. The rest of the site is built on top of MovableType and uses PHP Includes to reference the external files. Is there similar functionality in Ruby or Rails that I can use so I don''t have to update excess content in two different locations? Thanks. __________________________________________________ Justin Williams justin-2D/i1VWQ6ciB+jHODAdFcQ@public.gmane.org work: www.maczealots.com play: www.carpeaqua.com _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
Check out render() E.g. render :partial => ''post'' # includes "_post.rhtml" Rob On Dec 15, 2005, at 10:29 PM, Justin Williams wrote:> Greetings, > > I am working on extending a new part of our site to use Ruby on > Rails, and have several portions of the site that is included in > external files.

yes. but will render() parse a file that is not built into the actual
Rails application?
For instance, in PHP I have this line in my
<?php @include ("$document_root" . "movable-type/includes/
footer.php"); ?>
I need to have an equivalent in Rails. From what the documentation
says about render() its only for files that are within the actual
rails application itself: these files I need to include are not.
Thanks.

Ruby has a "require" function that works somewhat like you are saying. For instance, if you have the PDF::Writer library installed, and you want to use it in a controller, you just put: require ''pdf/writer'' at the beginning of the file. Works like a charm!
