Hi all,

I’m new at rails, so maybe my problem is very stupid.

I’ve used act\_as\_authenticated to generate a login/logout/signup  
controllers and it all works fine.

However, I’ve put both views login and logout into a partial inside my  
main layout.

My problem is that these partials need to be loaded by the layout, and  
I don’t know how to call the previously default actions (‘login’ and  
‘logout’ of my controller) when i submit the forms (the login is  
represented as a form).

I really appreciate your help,  
hugo

could you be more precise ? I can speculate…

you can call controller methods in a view:

\<% controller.the\_method(some\_variable,some\_other) %\>

I got it, my problem was the call of the login/logout action.

I know do

\<%= start\_form\_tag :controller =\> ‘conta’, :action =\> ‘login’ -%\>  
…

The next step is to try to do it using ajax, so i just refresh the  
partials, not the entire page.

Tens que fazer isso com o remote\_form\_tag, e depois usas rjs para fazer  
render das várias partials, ve se te safas com esta explicação.

you must try remote\_form\_tag
