Using a different layout for just one action in controller

I have a controller where everything uses the same layout except for one
action called view.  I tried this at the top of the controller:

 layout "remote", :only => [:view]
 layout "standard", :except => [:view]

This renders standard for :view, and the other actions don''t use a
layout at all!

How can I get what I want here?

Thanks!

Re: Using a different layout for just one action in controller

in your action:

render [render stuff], :layout => ''layout_name''

I tried that, but my controller does checking on db stuff, and if it 
fails, I do a redirect_to, then I get an error about render and 
redirect_to in the same action.

In the controller:

layout :layout_a, :except => :fred
layout :layout_b, :only => fred

I tried that too, and got the result I mentioned in my first post.  I 
tried it without giving an array, as well.

Re: Using a different layout for just one action in controll

Ugly, but use the method version of layout:

  layout :standard_or_remote
  def standard_or_remote(controller)
    if controller.action_name == ''view''
      ''remote''
    else
      ''standard''
    end
  end

You can always put the test in an if/else...

I think that would work great.  I decided yesterday to move the view 
action to a different controller that fit it better logically anyway.

Thanks everyone for your help!

Re: Using a different layout for just one action in controll

Don''t forget:

def standard_or_remote(controller)
  controller.action_name == ''view'' ?
''remote'' : ''standard''
end
