Rendering partials based on conditions

Rails
1

Hi,
A bit unsure how this gets accomplished - particularly how it might
get set up in the layout.
Currently -
This is my welcome.rthml (what comes up at main page)
<% if @u %>
<%= render :partial => “main/session” %>
<% else %>
<%= render :partial => “main/login” %>
<%= render :partial => “main/register” %>
<% end %>

But in my layout currently to make sure in what divs partials are
placed I’m doing this:

<%= render(:partial => "session" ) %>
<%= render(:partial => "register" ) %> <%= render(:partial => "login" ) %>

Because the layout is set up as it is, the if /else in the welcome
doesn’t really effect output.
Any suggestions ?

TIA
Stuart

I’m not really clear what this problem is. It appears you’re
rendering the same partial twice, once in the layout and once
in the view, but I may be entirely misunderstanding.

Any suggestions ?

How about putting the conditional renders into a helper?

Errr…

<%= render(:partial => "session" ) if @u %>
<% unless @u %> <%= render(:partial => "register" ) %> <%= render(:partial => "login" ) %> <% end %>

In your layout, you should add @content_for_layout. This is where
welcome.rhtml be placed.
