Rails - May 2006 - One layout for entire App ?

Hi,

Being true to DRY, I know in Rails it is possible to define a single
layout associated to a controller and all associated views, lists etc..
by the layout name taking on the name of the controller but is it
possible of a layout to be shared between many controllers ?

TIA,
Tuka

PS: I accidentally posted this in the Test forum.. so I moved it here to
get a pertinent reply

Yes. Say your ''shared'' layout is
''app/views/layouts/foo.rhtml'', just do
this at the top of your controller:

class BarController < ApplicationController
  layout "foo"

Hi Tuka,

alternatively, you can call your default layout
''application.rhtml'' - in
this case you do not even need to specify it in application.rb.
