search for: side_nav

There is a reason the controller is called *controller*. The controller should be making this type of decision. I would do it this way: Class FooController < ApplicationController def bar @side_nav = :display_admin End def baz @side_nav = :hide_admin EndEnd In the view: <% if @side_nav == :display_admin %> ... <% end %> In your application controller, you can set a default value for the @side_nav variable to avoid needing to set it in every action -----Original Mess...

I have a global layout in application.rhtml and I''d like to render a partial template within it. Currently, I have this: <%= render (:partial => ''side_nav'') %> but it seems to be looking in the controller specific view directory. What is the best way to do handle controller - global partial rendering? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
