layout possibilities in rails

October 17th, 2007 • Uncategorized

Layouts in rails can be accomplished in quite a few ways. Here are the most common:

• layouts/application.html.erb #default for all controllers
• layouts/my_controller.html.erb #layout for a controller with the same name
• layout "my_layout" in controller # explicitly set layout in controller
• layout :decide_on_layout # with ‘decide_on_layout being a method returning a layout name as string
• render :layout => false # no layout at all
• render :partial => ‘my_partial’, :layout => ‘my_other_partial’ # partials as layouts
