Ok, so I want to set up a dynamic global menu for my application. If
I''m in certain controllers, I don''t want this menu to appear
at all.
Let''s assume that my application has 3 controllers:
foo
bar
baz
I don''t want the menu to appear at all in bar, but to appear in
both foo and baz. The menu will build itself with the correct
contents for foo and baz already. I just want no menu at all for
bar. So, I have the following code (w/in app/views/layouts/
appname.rhtml, so it should be called for every single view):
<% unless controller == ''bar''
render(:partial => "shared/menu")
end
%>
I just need to find out if the controller is bar or not - but no
permutation of the above seems to work:
:controller, @controller, or controller == "BarController", etc.
I know this must be trivial to discover - what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
