Question

I have a ruby on rails controller that will display a different form for a logged out user than a logged in user.

What is the best way to approach this? (Is the below way ok?)

   class UsersController < ApplicationController
      def index
        if logged_in && is_admin
          render 'admin_index'
        end
        #use default index
      end
    end

Sure thats fine except you might get a ‘cannot render action twice’ type error (if im admin and logged in it still would try to render the default after rendering the admin action)

 class UsersController < ApplicationController
      def index
        if logged_in && is_admin
          render 'admin_index'
        else
          render 
        end

      end
    end
