Is there a way to render actions from different controllers? Now you’re probably thinking “why isn’t he using redirect\_to?”. Well, because I need to display validation-errors on that view and those informations would be lost if I use redirect\_to. Sounds a bit complicated? Tthe following pastie illustrates the problem (check line 30): [http://pastie.textmate.org/362540](http://pastie.textmate.org/362540) Does anyone have a “restful” solution to this problem?
