Question

Disclaimer: I’m quite a novice to RoR, but not with Ruby (if that
makes sense). I come from a Zend background and even, I was more used to
hacking WordPress installations and then Drupal based ones. I’m well
acquainted with MVC models so here goes nothing.

I’d like to use my site’s layout instead of the prepackaged layout that I’ve implemented in my Rails app instead of using ActiveAdmin. I’ve seen a reference to something close but it’s not cutting it. I’m hoping to use my site’s application.html.erb to provide an uniform experience all around.

What is the problem with the link you provided? It sounds like what you’re after.

render layout: '/layouts/application'

In what way does this not work for you?
