Ruby On Rails Layout Application Question.

No, it's not I want to give a different layout for each view.

render layout: "special_layout"

After creating another layout, I think it's possible to do it like this on the controller

I'll have to see if it works or not.

Here's the document

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html

You can also specify the use of layout on the controller as shown below. Below you will specify the layout name directly.

class WatcherController < ApplicationController
  layout "login_layout"

end

If you turn over the symbol with a factor, call the method as shown below. This means that you can also do layout branching depending on the conditions.

class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
  layout :writers_and_readers

  def index
    # # fetching posts
  end

  private
    def writers_and_readers
      logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout"
    end
end

A per-view layout branch can be called in an action method like render:layout=> 'login_layout'.

Please refer to the API document for more information on setting the controller/view layout.
