Question- if I have more then one view I wish to display in a layout , how do I tell content_for_layout what to display and where ?

Stuart,
In your application.rhtml use <%= yield %> to display your view.
If you wish to display another portion of that view somewhere else
in the layout do this:
--- [ your view ] ---
my main view content...
<% content_for("nav") do -%>
my nav stuff
<% end -%>
--- [ application.rhtml ] ---
<%= yield :nav %>
Hope this helps,
Zack

Your layout should only have one yield in it, where the content goes. As for the rest, have your main view render one or more partials (my layouts typically render partials for the various pieces of the page).

It''s really strange to say that something from a stable release is deprecated when it isn''t marked as deprecated and there is no replacement documented, isn''t it?

Did you see the link I also pasted?
Yeah, I''m getting used to the sort of documentation :). It would be better perhaps if there was a page that listed all that is deprecated. If I''m using IRB or Scite in a straight Ruby environment that Ruby will tell it''s deprecated. Not sure how that all works in Rails and where to look for Rails generated code feedback.

Did you see the link I also pasted?The link? That''s a comment thread about the yield stuff but no documentation. The API of stable Rails is documentation and it says to use content_for_layout. The API of edge has changed and it says yield. So you have to say that content_for_layout will be deprecated in the future but it is the supported thing for stable Rails, isn''t it?
