How do I access the flash from a partial template?
I have the following in my layout:
<%= render(:partial=>''files'', :object=>@property)
%>
I''ve tried adding the flash to the locals, but still can''t
seem to
access it.
<%= render(:partial=>''files'', :object=>@property,
:locals=>{:flash=>@flash}) %>
I then have the following in my _files.rhtml
<% if @flash[:error] %>
<p><%= @flash[:error] %></p>
<% end %>
But this doesn''t seem to show up.
If I place that in the layout itself, the flash appears, so I know it''s
available to the page.
Thanks.

It didn''t seem to work at the time, I''ll try it again in a bit and see if I can figure out what I was doing wrong. The partial is completely self contained though I take it? Any variables (like flash, session etc...) will have to be passed through to it? Thanks for the help. -- R.Livsey http://livsey.org
