Rails - Aug 2005 - Controller Inheritance and View

If I have

FooController < ApplicationController
  def do_stuff
  end
end

BarController < FooController
end

and then in a view have a link to :controller => ''bar'',
:action => ''do_stuff''
I cannot get it to render FooController''s do_stuff.rhtml.

It constantly looks for /views/bar/do_stuff.rhtml

I tried adding a 
def do_stuff
  super
  render :controller => ''foo'', :action =>
''do_stuff''
end

And various other ways with no luck, is it even possible to do what I
want without having to make symbolic links?

Paul,

Just use

render :file => "foo/do_stuff"

That''s what I always use, although I''m curious why :controller
=> ''foo'', :action => ''do_stuff''
doesn''t work.

I was hoping not to even create methods in each Controller, not sure
why the render :controller => :action => didn''t work, but
I''ll figure
out a way around it.

Thanks
