Question

Is there a way in ruby to bypass application.html.erb but still use the corresponding view of the controller?

Right now I have

render :layout => false

But I get the following error from the view:

undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass

Below is my current posts controller:

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @posts = Post.where('is_deleted' => false, 'is_hidden' => false).limit(15).order('created_at DESC')
  end 
  def show
    @posts = Post.find(params[:id], :conditions => 'is_deleted = false')
  end 
  def page
    render :layout => false
    @posts = Post.where('is_deleted' => false, 'is_hidden' => false).limit(15).offset(params[:page].to_i * 15).order('created_at DESC')
  end 
end

Answer 1

def page
  render :layout => false
  @posts = Post.where('is_deleted' => false, 'is_hidden' => false).limit(15).offset(params[:page].to_i * 15).order('created_at DESC')
 end 

should be

def page
  @posts = Post.where('is_deleted' => false, 'is_hidden' => false).limit(15).offset(params[:page].to_i * 15).order('created_at DESC')
  render :layout => false
end
