Rails - May 2006 - Render layout on the fly

Hi guys,

i was wondering if there is any possibility to render a layout on the 
fly instead of putting it into the layouts/ folder. Any ideas?

Not sure what you mean.  Layouts are rendered just like any rhtml file.

Yeah but normal .rhtml files have to be in the layouts folder. I want to 
load the layout from another website everytime the shop gets called. So 
not store them locally. I know this i quite bw consuming on sites with 
many hits but my customer want''s it that way :)

I took a look at the Rails API and found these examples:

  # Renders the template located at the absolute filesystem path
  render :file => "/path/to/some/template.rhtml"
  render :file => "c:/path/to/some/template.rhtml"

  # Renders a template within the current layout, and with a 404 status 
code
  render :file => "/path/to/some/template.rhtml", :layout =>
true,
:status => 404
  render :file => "c:/path/to/some/template.rhtml", :layout =>
true,
:status => 404

  # Renders a template relative to the template root and chooses the 
proper file extension
  render :file => "some/template", :use_full_path => true

and

  # Renders the template located in 
[TEMPLATE_ROOT]/weblog/show.r(html|xml) (in Rails, 
app/views/weblog/show.rhtml)
  render :template => "weblog/show"
