Hi all, Does anybody know how to include a partial (next to @content_for_layout) in a layout file? I''m looking for a something like @partial_for_include => ''filename'' in my layout files.

Hi all, Installed the login_engine which is working. But I''m confused as to how I tell Rails to use the "/app/views/layout" rhtml files, when partials from the login_engine are used from "/vendor/plugins/login_engine/app/views/user". Do I copy login.rhtml to /app/view/mgmt? (mgmt is a controller name in my app) Along the same line: I also have a nil error on the

All (and kevin), After flying high for a while on Rails things, I''m down to the nitty gritty of Ruby stuff. Messing with vars and printing them out on a web page.
