Hi,

Any one know how to render dynamic view (like render inline but for  
file) from database instead of file?

For example:  
instead of using “/comments/index.rhtml” as a view, it will  
automatically inject the a string of dynamic “rhtml” after calling  
comment controller with index action.

Hopefully, my question is not confusing

Thank you in advance

you guys are rocks. I just realized, I can also use render :inline  
inside controller. Previously, I thought, I can only use it in the view  
file.

Thanks again
