2 layouts per .rb page

Rails
1

Hi,

Is this possible

ive got layout “loggedout_layout”, :only => [:login, :logout]

but I also want to do somthing like
layout “loggedin_layout”, :except => [:login, :logout]

When the second one is introduced it seems to cancel out the first
request, any suggestions how to get around this?

use this in your actions:

render [blah-blah], :layout => “bla”

Hello Scott,

Tell me if it works :

class MyBeautifulController < ApplicationController
layout :determine_layout

…

private
def determine_layout
if [:login, :logout].include?(controler.action_name)
“loggedout_layout”
else
“loggedin_layout”
end
end
end

Tell me if it works :

NameError in AccountController#list

undefined local variable or method `controler’ for
#AccountController:0x38a7560

code

layout :determine_layout

private
def determine_layout
if [:login, :logout].include?(controler.action_name)
“loggedout_layout”
else
“loggedin_layout”
end
end

2 'l’s in controller.action_name

Alan

p.s. can’t you specify :only and :except in the same layout line ?

sorry for the typo :

controller.action_name

instead of

controler.action_name

change this line

if [:login, :logout].include?(controler.action_name)

into :

if %w(login logout).include?(params[:action])

but it’s not very nice to me.
