Rails - Jan 2007 - problem w/shared partials

ok, i am here again, i have been stumped on this since early afternoon.
so here goes.

i am trying to render a partial from two different controllers.
i have groups, and group has_many :sites

i have a main list in a group summary table with each site.name linking
to
an action in the site_controller called display_site.
this brings a view of site details. now, i also need a page that shows
the details
of each site, one after another.

the link from the list in the /group/summary.rhtml looks like this:
<%= link_to site.site_name, :action => ''display_site'',
                                        :id => site.id ,
                                        :controller =>
''site''%>


here is some of what i have, this is my most recent try.
i have tried render with collections, locals, :site => site, etc...
the display site link above works, but anything i try from the group
controller
results in a blank page ( except the title and group.name ) or
errors about nil.site_name



# in site_controller
def display_site
   @site = Site.find(params[:id])
end

# in the /group/details.rhtml
<% @group.sites.each do |site|  %>
<%= render(:partial => "shared/site", :locals => {:id =>
site.id }) %>
<% end %>


# in /site/display_site.rhtml
<%= render(:partial => "shared/site",  :object => @site)
%>

# finally, in the /views/shared/_site.rhtml
<%= site.site_name %>

i have been everywhere and i can''t seem to pull this off, i have read
forum posts, the api,
tutorials at OnLamp, i even have the AWD book for crying out loud, and i
am banging my head here.

if you have read this far down, thanks for your time.

Did you try render(:partial => "shared/site", :locals => {:site
=>
@site}) ?

no, i did not because i don''t have @site from the group controller, but
i have @group.sites. It looks backwards. what does :site => @site part 
do ?

and, in the partial, should i be using site or @site ?
The partial view i mean



thanks for looking at this
