question on layouts

Hey all,
Does any have suggestions to whether I should create a controller for
every web page on my site or just create an action for every web page in
same controller if those actions will never require database calls? It
doesn''t make sense to create a controller/model for a single web page
if
it isn'';t going to require sql. However, I do need the url to actual
show the different page just as in any site. So I''m just curious what
are best practices to approach this. Thanks for any response.

Hey thanks for the response.
What about the image paths. This is in css and it''s not linking to the 
images folder:
background: #b8e5d1 url(/public/images/mastgrad.png) top left no-repeat;

public/images incorrect path? I don''t understand because it looks like 
thats the path structure in my app.

Or create a utility controller, call it "home" or whatever, that
handles
all the non-model pages you need. That''s pretty typical.

"public" is the root directory of all the static resources -- so you
only
want to use `background: #b8e5d1 url( /images/mastgrad.png ) ...`

Do neither.  Use a single controller action for your static pages, and 
give it the name of the page as a parameter.

That''s poor reasoning.

You can use routing to make the URLs be anything you like.

If the OP is, in fact, talking about static pages, you might consider, for
performance reasons, putting them in a structure under /public and letting
Apache, et.al. deliver them without the involvement of mongrel / passenger /
your rails app.

Re: question on layouts

I understand the idea of having apache serving static content but
anyways what do you think about this as i am with similar question in
mind.
#controller
class HomeController < ApplicationController

  def index
    page = params[''page'']

    if page
      begin
        render "page_views/" + page
      rescue ActionView::MissingTemplate
        render "errors/404.html", :status=> 404
      end
    end

  end

end

#router as the last 2 lines after all options have been excluded

match ''/:page'' => ''home#index'' , :as=>
:page
root :to => "home#index"


Would this be good practice?
Might be raw but it does the job for my needs.

What you think folks

#controller
class HomeController < ApplicationController

  def index
    page = params[''page'']

    if page
      begin

        # page var is the same as the name of my "page.html.erb" as in
about.html.erb to process a param with value about etc..
        render "page_views/" + page

      rescue ActionView::MissingTemplate

        render "errors/404.html", :status=> 404

      end
    end

  end

end
#end of class

#router as the last 2 lines after all options have been excluded

match ''/:page'' => ''home#index'' , :as=>
:page
root :to => "home#index"
