can nobody held me???  
in one layout i iry to have two yields. first is: \<%= yield :article  
%\> and second is:\<%= yield :agenturs %\>

the first yield works great because the layout file is view/layouts/  
articles.html.erb  
if i call the layout view/layouts/agenturs.html.erb then the second  
yield works fine.

in a browser the call looks like this: localhost:3000/articles or  
localhost:3000/agenturs

You need to have in your view:

\<% content\_for :article do %\>  
stuff goes here  
\<% end %\>

In order to know what replaces:

\<%= yield :article %\>

in your layout. One thing that’s useful to know is that the view is  
rendered FIRST and then the layout is found and rendered. That’s why  
the \<%= yield %\> and \<%= yield :symbol %\> can find the right parts to  
insert.
