Right now I have partials in a view folder corresponding with my  
controller.

ie: controller: example, view: example/\_partial.rhtml  
and I call it with render :partial =\> ‘partial’

How do I add the partial to another folder and call it?  
ie: controller: example, view: example/new\_folder/\_partial.rhtml  
render :partial =\> ‘new\_folder/partial’ # does NOT work

Hi Larry ~

Try:

render :partial =\> ‘/example/new\_folder/partial’

Thanks Ben,

I got it working by appending an underscore to the physical folder name

so now:  
render :partial =\> ‘new\_folder/partial’ # DOES work
