Hi!

This was probably asked many times, but i can’t find it anywhere.

How to render in my view many actions (sometimes from different  
controllers)?  
So i.e. I will have user status/login form at the top, form for  
creating/editing some data on the left and a list of these data elements  
on the right and some other things at the bottom?

Can i put some of this stuff to the layout? So i will always have login  
form or, if user is logged in, his status at the top?

You can use render\_component() for stuff like that.

I’m sure you’re not the only one, I also needed to look it up in the  
rails  
book first.  
But now that I’m also aware of it, I might use it in an application I’m  
currently building.
