Question

Ok so I have a show method that tries to render a layout and the show view renders a couple partials but I am getting a double render error in rails. How do I get it to render the layout and the partials? Note that it renders just fine with the default layout.

Here is my controller action

def show
  @site = Site.find_by_subdomain!(request.subdomain)
  @page = @site.pages.find_by_name('index')

  render :layout => "layouts/mobile"
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html # show.html.erb
    format.xml  { render :xml => @site }
  end
end

And my view simply looks like this:

<%= render(:partial => "page", :object => @page) %>

Ok figured it out. Sorry for the post but I’ll answer it in case someone else has the problem. Basically at the top of my controller file I just needed this line:

layout "layouts/mobile", :only => [:show]
