Question

I have a layout for posts. The postscontroller redirects to this layout . I want my blog controller to use the same layout . I do not to put the layout as my application.html.erb since all other pages uses a different layout and I have put that as my applicationlayout.

Can i do something like this in my blog controller?
render :layout => “post”

If so which view page my yield command retrieve?

Answer 1

Yup, render :layout => 'post' will do it. The yield in the layout will yield as you would expect a yield in the application layout to.

To set a controller-wide layout, use layout 'layout_name' at the top of your controller.
