Hi there

I’m doing some RoR exercices to begin a website and I want to include a  
file which contains the header template. I have coded using php  
before and I know it’s done using include(“file.php”) and I don’t know  
how to do it.

How do you include a html template into another one (I haven’t found  
anything googling)?

Thanks in advance

Regards

This is the Ruby mailing list. The Ruby on Rails mailing list is what  
you want: [http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk)

Any good (or even mediocre) RoR tutorial will tell you how to do this.  
Hint: ‘render :partial’.

Thanks for your hint and let me abuse of your kindness and knowledge  
asking which are the differences between ‘render :partial’ and ‘render:  
file’

Thanks again 😃
