Rails 'render' question
Is it possible to render a template for an action not within the current controller?
e.g., Code:
render :controller => 'different', :action => 'index' If there is both controller_name.rhtml and application.rhtml within the layouts directory, can I specify which layout to use (or alternatively render them within eachother)?

You can access any actionview using
Code:
render :template => 'different/action', :layout => 'mylayout' The layout is optional. Normally the current layout is used. Usually you create a partial view, when you want to reuse some of your code in different actions. It is a much cleaner approach. Code:
# render $RAILSROOT/app/views/lib/_adminheader.rhtml
# using layout 'layouts/thelayout.rhtml'
# through :locals we provide the variables used in the partial
render :partial => 'lib/adminheader',
:locals => { :page => @page, :somevar => @variable },
:layout => 'thelayout'
Take a look here for further documentation. bye grande

OK, one more question:
If I call Code:
render :template => 'different/action' This will not execute the controller code for the called action, but will only render the view of that action (using locals, etc. from the currently executing action). OTOH, if I call Code:
render_component :controller=> 'different', :action => 'action', :params => params This both executes the controller action for 'different/action' and renders the view of that action (using locals, etc. from the 'different/action' action.) Is that correct?
