Hello,
I have an action in my controller called ''reply''. I would like
to be
able to select a particular RJS file to excute based on the results of
some logic.
In the simplest terms, this is what I''d like to accomplish:
def reply
if case == a
[use reply_a.rjs]
else
[use reply_b.rjs]
end
end
Now Rails has a convention that says, "if no render statement is
defined, look for and .rhtml or .rjs file to execute based on the name
of the action; i.e reply.rjs. I can seem to find a particluar command
that will allow me to specify which RJS to use. It seems that such a
command should exist, but I am to bone-headed to find it.
(Also, just curious, does anyone know of a way to do logic inside an RJS
template?)

I had tried, render :parial and render :template. I didn''t think of render :action for some reason. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It makes you think that it''s going to execute the action you specify, but actually it just renders the template by that name. When I write render(:action => :wibble), I like to think of it as telling Rails to "pretend that I''m in an action called ''wibble'', and go and find the default template for that action, following the normal default rules". That''s why it works equally well for RHTML/RJS/whatever templates without specifying the extension, because Rails'' default behaviour is to find one of those templates given just the name of the action.

If you do @user = User.find(:first) in your controller, your RJS template should be able to access that instance variable as well: page.alert(@user.name) Same as any template. Can you post your code that''s not working as expected?
