[Rails] Application Errors w/ layout & custom view pages
John,
I believe you want to use <%= @content_for_layout %> and not
''content_for_layout.''
I also believe the method #layout is a class method that shouldn''t be
placed inside an action:
class TestController
layout ''stdlayout''
...
actions go here...
If you want to have a specific layout for an action, try (for the API):
def help
render :action => "help/index", :layout =>
"help"
end

Thanks, but neither the layouts or custom html pages are working - still getting application errors (vers. 1.0 and ruby 1.8.3 ubuntu). Something seems really wrong not to be able to do these things after spending hours with it. I''m either really missing something or maybe rails is still too fragile/inflexible for our needs at this point.

[Rails] Application Errors w/ layout & custom view pages
What is the trace of the ApplicationError?

[Rails] Application Errors w/ layout & custom view pages
In the case of 1) the layout should be in app>views>layouts, not app>views>test>layouts and as pointed out in another reply, layout should be at the class level, not inside a method and you want @content_for_layout not content_for_layout. For 2), what error are you getting specifically? What''s in your development.log?

Thanks all for suggestions. Actually the layout is in views/layouts - I
just mistyped in email. I have shown vital info & log below. The
default scaffold list without layout works fine. I get similar error
when trying to use a separate/custom page (ie welcome, help, ... etc)
beyond the standard scaffold stuff. And I cannot find any examples of such.
class AgenciesController < ApplicationController
layout ''stdlayout''
def index
list
render :action => ''list''
end
def list
@agency_pages, @agencies = paginate :agencies, :per_page => 10
end
.../app/views/layouts/stdlayout.rhtml
<html>
<head><title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>login screen</h1>
<%= @content_for_layout %>
</body>
</html>
