About views problem!

Rails

Hi, everyone!
I have a question. when I created a controller and a action like this:

class EverythingController < ApplicationController
def index
end

def findname
content=“here is test”
render :text => content, :layout => false
end
…
end
in other controller’s .rhtml, I used
<%= render_component :controller => “everything”, :action =>
“findname” %>

so, Do I need create a template _findname.rhtml for findname action?
I don’t think I need it, because I just render content, not anything.
but when I do function test, there is error: Misstemplate
_findname.rhtml
so I don’t understand this error.
who can tell me why? and how can fix it, Thanks!

Hrm… not sure about your specific problem, but components won’t be
supported in Rails 2.0 which is just around the corner…

Might want to rethink what you’re trying to do to use another method…

Have a look at this article (and example code) which explains how to
use & combine views, partials, and layouts.

yes, I have looked this article.
but I just want to know If I used “render :text =>” to render
something view not whole page, Do I need create template?

No you don’t need a view template if you are just rendering the text
from an action.

You also don’t need to specify :layout => false

just write render :text => content

Thanks!
but I just write
render :text => content
when I do function test, there is Error.
MissTemplate … findname.rhtml
so I am not sure where is wrong.
