Showing another controllers action

Rails
1

If I am in controller A and I want to show the index of controller B,
how would I do that?

Wouldn’t you just do a simple redirect?

def create
@scenario = Scenario.new(params[:scenario])
if @scenario.save
flash[:notice] = ‘Scenario was successfully created.’
# where do we return to?
case params[:from_type]
when ‘project’
redirect_to projectview_path(params[:from_id])
else
redirect_to scenarioviews_path
end
else
render :action => “new”
end
end

No, I dont want to redirect to another controller. I want to stay in my
current controller.

Here is what I did:

from my controller A I ran an RJS file.
The RJS file replaces my content area with a partial.
My partial uses one line of code

<%= render_file “CONTROLLER_B_NAME/index.html.erb” %>

If anybody else knows a better why, I’d be appreciative to hear it.

In controller A:

render :controller_b, :action => “your_action”

I believe it’s:

render(:controller => “controller_name”, :action => “your_action”)

I haven’t tried it, but that’s the syntax for redirect_to

HTH.

render :template => “foo/bar”
