Hi, I needed to know a way or method of using render and reditect\_to methods. At present using them both is giving me an error that both cant be used. If not this an alternative approach would also help. Thank You Advait ---

What exactly are you trying to do and why? You can’t use render and redirect\_to at the same time. Either you’re rendering a page, or you’re going to another page. Jason ---
