Rails - Jul 2007 - noob question: calling a view in a different folder

I have a ''user'' folder and an ''appname''
folder.  When a user signs up, i
want to call an action to send them to the ''list'' page, which
is in
''appname''.  However i can''t work out how to call an
action in a
different controller/view in a different view folder (incidentally,
which is called - the controller action or the view page?).

I''ve been trying stuff like

redirect_to :action => "AppnameController.list"
redirect_to :action => "../appname/list"

etc...

Can anyone help please?  This feels like it''s simple but i just
don''t
know the syntax.

you might be looking at

redirect_to :controller => ''appname'', :action =>
''list''
(if the ''list'' action is in the appname; redirects there no
matter what
controller you are in)

render :template => ''appname/list''
(if you want to render the template, you can do this in the controller 
or the view. the path is relative to the app/view directories)

Never mind, i found the answer!  I need to pass the controller as well -

redirect_to :controller => "appname", :action =>
"list"

Thanks anyway!
