Yeah,

I have User and Photo controllers and models.

the user has many photos  
photos belongs to the user

In a user profile section i have a photo gallery using RJS.

Well,

I’m on user controller, and the logic of ‘photos’ are on photos  
controller,  
how can i call the RJS template using logic from another controller (in  
this  
case photo)?

at user controller:  
jphoto.rjs  
page.replace\_html('html\_id, :partial =\> ‘photo’)

at photo.html.erb

here i need put a lot of logic from the photo controller, how can i  
use a  
method from it?

Thank your very much for the attention!
