Question

I’m rendering a header universally across my application in layouts/application.html.erb.

I’d like to make the header not appear in a specific foo.html.erb file.

What’s the syntax for un-rendering a universal layout?

EDIT:

The controller for the layout is a devise controller, specifically Sessions Controller.

Answer 1

Let’s say the controller and action that renders the template foo.html.erb is ‘things#foo’ and the path to this action is things_path. You can wrap the header in conditional tags as follows

<% unless request.path == things_path %>
<% end %>

. There are several ways to achieve this, but here is one.
