Rails - Jul 2009 - render syntax has me stumped

Hi,From within an action called manager within a controller called
storedorders, I want to render to the view for the manger action of
controller orders.

It really seems like the following syntax should work:

(within the StoredordersController manager method...)

    respond_to do |format|
       format.html {render :controller => ''orders'', :action
=> ''manager''}
       # format.xml { head :ok }
     end

But I get the following message:

"Template is missing
Missing template storedorders/manager.erb in view path app/views"

Why is it even looking when I told it to render a different view?



This however works:
    respond_to do |format|
       format.html {render ''orders/manager''}
       #  format.xml  { head :ok }
     end

It really seems like either syntax should be valid. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Tim

Argument to the "render()" method does not recognises the
":controller" key. You might be confusing it with arguments to
"redirect_to()" method.

Thanks for answering Vikrant,
Did render change recently, because the internet is littered with
advice saying

render :controller => ''con_name'', :action =>
''action_name''

is valid syntax. And if you can say render
''controller/action'', why
not allow it to be stated the other way too?

I don''t remember that "render()" ever worked that way. Can I
have an
example?
