When I’m in a form block and am including a partial, I use:
<%= render :partial => ‘form’, :locals => {:f => f} %>
Is there a cleaner way to write this? Something new in Rails 2 maybe?

I don’t know of one off hand. What’s dirty about that style?

Check this out:
http://www.railsjedi.com/posts/22-Better-Partials-Plugin-for-Ruby-on-Rails
Turns this:
<%= render :partial => ‘form’, :locals => {:f => f} %>
into:
<%= partial “form”, :f => f %>
<% form_for … do |@f| %>
<%= render :partial => “form” %>
<% end %>
Even cleaner! Passing in your form object as an instance variable gives
you
the added bonus of having it available in any partial you render after
defining it.
In Rails 2.1:
<% form_for … do |f| %>
<%= render :partial => f %>
which renders _form.html.erb (*) where the local variable is called
form.
*) or _foobar_form.html.erb if you use a custom FoobarFormBuilder
Bugger!
I had a niggling thought at the back of my mind as I wrote that post
that it
was the case, but chose to ignore it.
Oh well, render :partial => “form”, :f => f looks like the cleanest
way
for now, unless you don’t mind not being Ruby 1.9 compatible, but it
will
come to bite you in the ass later on.

Cleanliness is in the eye of the beholder.
In any case, beware that Ruby 1.9 disallows using instance variables
as block parameters, so if you’re forward thinking this might be a
technique to avoid.
