Rails - Jun 2006 - Partials from a master layout?

Hi

I am using a ''master'' layout in my project by putting
"layout ''main''" in
my application controller so that the same layout is applied to every 
controller and I would like to use partials in the layout file (obeying 
DRY, of course!) but if I render a partial in the layout then whenever 
the layout is rendered by a controller the layout looks for the partial 
in the executing controller folder and obviously I want it to be generic 
across controllers.

I have tried putting the partial in the layout folder hoping that it 
would check there first (it seemed logical) before checking the 
controller folder.

Is there a place I can put partials where they will always be found?

Thanks
Dave

If you put your partial (say "_parto.rhtml'') in your layouts
folder
then you can reference it like this:

render (:partial => "/layouts/parto")

Hope this helps

Thanks, that works a treat.
