Hello, I need to render erb template WITH LAYOUT OUTSIDE REQUEST, for example to generate document in background process. How can I do this? I know that I can do ActionView::Base.new ... but its possible to have also layout? Code w/o layout support: def return_string_to_me_baby x = ActionView::Base.new([''app/views'']) # assign template variables assigns.each do |k,v| x.assigns[k] = v end x.render template end Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
one more time :) def return_string_to_me_baby(template, assigns={}) x = ActionView::Base.new([''app/views'']) # assign template variables assigns.each do |k,v| x.assigns[k] = v end x.render template end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
If there is somenthing like "render_to_string" - that you can use only in controller. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

If none of your users are on the same box, use local_request? method to block invocation by other means. Or use some other method of authentication/authorization.

NICE IDEA, thanks! if i use this approach, it will also break other limitations/inconsistenties. anyways, if someone knows, how to add layout-rendering capability (yield stuff) to my/your own code, i''am very curious Jeffrey L.
