It has to do with the name of the partial, Rails does some magic by looking at the name of the partial and then making a local variable (with the same name as the partial) accessible to that partial. i.e. a partial entitled "_current_user" will have current_user as a local whereas a partial entitled "_user_box" will have user_box as a local. This was new functionality introduced with rails 2 I believe.. Don't forget that the render() can have :object and :locals passed into it.. hth ilan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
