I want to render a partial if my path is on a specific resource, but I don’t want to indicate the ID of the resource.

I want to load meta data tags held in a partial between my <head> tags if the path is on any video resource:

<head>
  <%= render 'layouts/partial_name' if request.fullpath == video_path(params[:id]) %>
</head>

This only works, though, if I’ve requested a video resource, e.g., '/videos/92'.

    You could try request.full_path.starts_with? videos_path, or request.full_path =~ /^\/video/.

    However, there’s a better way to do this. In your layout:

    <head>
  <!-- ... -->
  <%= yield :head %>
</head>

    In the view where you want to add meta tags:

    <% content_for :head do %>
<%= render :partial => 'meta_tags' %>
<% end %>
<!-- ... -->

    This usage is the canonical example for the content_for method.
