Can :layout option be passed to render a partial for a collection?

Rails
1

Hello,
i have read somewhere that calling

<%= render :partial => ‘my_partial’, :collection => my_collection, :as
=> :model, :layout => ‘my_layout’ %>

used to render output of
<%= render :partial => ‘my_partial’, :collection => my_collection, :as
=> :model %>
inside a single layout ‘my_layout’.

However, it does not seem to work for me now, and this behavior is not
documented in API pages, the suggested way to do is to yield explicitly:

<%= render :layout => ‘my_layout’ do %>
<%= render :partial => ‘my_partial’, :collection => my_collection, :as
=> :model %>
<% end %>

Can anybody please explain if i am doing something wrong, or if this
behavior of :layout option is not supported anymore?

Thanks,

Alexey.

This :layout option isn’t supported if you’re rendering a collection (I
just
checked the source code in
actionpack-3.0.7/lib/action_view/render/partials.rb, specifically the
ActionView::Partials::PartialRenderer#render_collection method)

The “Rendering Collections” section of the “Layouts and Rendering in
Rails”
guide
(Layouts and Rendering in Rails — Ruby on Rails Guides)
makes no mention of supporting the :layout option either. It does have
support for a :spacer_template option if that helps.

Thank you for clarifying this.
