I have seen his website before, but the videos don't play on my
computer. Recently my computer just started having some problems with
video files and I haven't taken the time to figure out the problem.
Regardless I think I have pieced together something decent, kind of a
cross between methods 3 and 4. The only thing that kinda still bugs
me is needing a no_sublayout.html.erb. I have been trying in vain to
find a why to get the the main_layout to choose between
yield :sublayout or yield :layout. It looks like this...
views/layouts/main_layout.html.erb
some html
<%= yield :sublayout %>
some html
views/items/index.html.erb
render :partial => "item", :collection => @items
views/items/_item.html.erb
<%= h item.name $>
views/layouts/sublayout.html.erb
<% content_for sublayout do -%>
some html
<%= yield %>
some html
<% end -%>
render :file=>"layouts/main_layout.html.erb"
views/layouts/no_sublayout.html.erb
<% content_for sublayout do -%>
<%= yield %>
<% end -%>
render :file=>"layouts/main_layout.html.erb"
controllers/items_controller.rb
layout :choose_layout
normal controller stuff
private
def choose_layout
if action_name == "index" "sublayout"
else "no_sublayout"
end
end
now on to the next iteration...i am using this with nested resources
and would like to keep nesting more sublayouts, hahaha.
