Question

I was wondering if I could execute / display some stuff differently in partials depending on the context in which it appears.

For example, I have a _user_info partial that appears in a sidebar, and also in the user page, and I want to display some extra info in the second case. How can I express that kind of conditions?

Answer 1

What you’re asking for is something this:

if params[:controller].eql?('users')
  view code

However I would split the partial into two separate partials and display the distinct parts from whichever view you need.
