Read Only fields

Rails
1

I’m using a partial to render both my new and edit views. How do I
indicate that I want specific fields to be display only on the edit
form?

Thanks for the help.

You might want to try something like

render :partial => ‘your_partial’, :locals => {:edit => true}

and then in the partial

<% if edit -%>
yeehaa, you might edit
<% end -%>

and to get the edit-bool the @controller variable might come in useful

@controller.action_name == ‘edit’
