I''m trying to use a different layout for just one action in my
controller, all the other actions use the application.rhtml layout, so
what i''m doing is ...
class SomeController < ApplicationController
layout "simple", :only=> :some_action
......
end
and the "simple" layout is applied to all the actions, can someone
please give me a hint?
Thanks for everything. I''m loving rails so far, loving the comunity =).

Thanks, I did def some_action ..... render(:action => ''some_action'', :layout => ''simple'') end And it worked fine, but i wonder if there is right to render an action from the same action =) sorry for another stupid question, but I''m curious. Thank you for, very much. 2006/1/22, Jakob Skjerning <jakob@mentalized.net>:> > On Jan 22, 2006, at 15:43, Santiago Hirschfeld wrote: > > > I''m trying to use a different layout for just one action in my > > controller, all the other actions use the application.rhtml layout, > > I''m not sure why what you already have doesn''t work, but instead just > do render(:action => ''some_action'', :layout => ''simple'') in your action. > > -- > Jakob Skjerning - http://mentalized.net > > > > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >

Basically, Rails will do just that for you if you don''t yourself. Doing it yourself just gives you a bit more control - and code. -- Jakob Skjerning - http://mentalized.net

If I have in application_controller.rb: layout ''standard'' and in some_controller.rb layout ''special'', :only=>[:a, :b, :c] All other actions in some_controller will use NO template at all, rather than using the ''standard'' layout specified in application.rb. Actions not in :only, or in :except should inherit application.rb''s layout IMO. csn -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
