Rails - Feb 2005 - Specifying templates instead of using the default ones

Hi everyone,
     I''m using the login generator and would like to use the same view
template for both the login and logout actions. How do I specify the
template to be used for a particular action?

Thank you,

You use the render_action command in the appropriate controller
action. For example:

def logout
   # other code here
   render_action ''login''
end

Hi,
   Thanks, but I want the url to reflect the new action rendered
without having to use a client-side redirect. Is that possible?

render_action is not a client-side redirect. It just selects which 
template the action will use. If you don''t use render_action, the 
action will use the template with the same name as the action.

I understood that much. What I''d like to know is how to structure the
application (method names, templates, links, form submission actions)
so that I have complete control over the url displayed in the address
bar and also the page rendered for the user. And all of this without
using client-side redirects. This is possible, I know, but what is the
common way such a requirement is designed for and built.

Having a separate method in the controller for each task of the
application is neat, but the url''s get ugly.

Okay, I finally did something I should have done before mailing the
list. Read the documentation.

Client-side redirects _is_ the rails way to decouple actions from urls
