Hello,
Allmost all pages have the same layout except the login page.
There the sidebar with menu is not visible.
Is there a way to tell rails that when im on the login page the sidebar must not be visible.
Roelof
you could use current_page with route to check the page. Ex: render “sidebar” unless current_page?(login_path)
Matt
oke , and put this in the controller ??
Roelof
No, the render command goes in your layout in this case since it is something that a lot of your views are using.
<%= render “sidebar” unless current_page?(login_path) %>

Sorry but I do not work. I see a message that login_path is not known. I think that devise is messing things up.
Roelof
You have to look in your routes file what is your login_path. login_path is just a example.
run “rake routes” in cosole to see your login path.
Rake routes :
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
new_admin_session GET /admins/sign_in(.:format) devise/sessions#new
admin_session POST /admins/sign_in(.:format) devise/sessions#create
destroy_admin_session DELETE /admins/sign_out(.:format) devise/sessions#destroy
cancel_admin_registration GET /admins/cancel(.:format) devise/registrations#cancel
admin_registration POST /admins(.:format) devise/registrations#create
new_admin_registration GET /admins/sign_up(.:format) devise/registrations#new
edit_admin_registration GET /admins/edit(.:format) devise/registrations#edit
PATCH /admins(.:format) devise/registrations#update
PUT /admins(.:format) devise/registrations#update
DELETE /admins(.:format) devise/registrations#destroy
dashboard_show GET /dashboard/show(.:format) dashboard#show
root GET / dashboard#show
I tried already new_admin_registration but then I see the same error message.
Roelof
You still need _path. So in your case, since it is the login which I’m assuming is new_admin_session, it would be
<%= render “sidebar” unless current_page?(new_admin_session_path) %>
then I see this error message ;
undefined local variable or method `“sidebar”' for #<#<Class:0x007fc6a2ce9c38>:0x007fc6a50d7118>
Where I have a sidebar.html.erb and a _sidebar.html.erb in the same directory.
Roelof
Add the folder name where your sidebar partial is located.
<%= render “layouts/sidebar” unless current_page?(new_admin_session_path) %>
undefined local variable or method `“layouts' for #<#<Class:0x007f50394a0340>:0x007f503949ded8>
Roelof
undefined local variable or method `“layouts' for #<#<Class:0x007f50394a0340>:0x007f503949ded8>
Show us the line of code that error is generated on (with a couple of lines each side). Copy/paste it here.

Here is the whole layout :
Liberator Admin Theme <%= stylesheet_link_tag "bootstrap/bootstrap.css", "font-awesome-4.0.3/css/font-awesome.min.css", "jquery-ui.css", "toastr.css", "style.css" %>
<%= render “layouts/sidebar” unless current_page?(new_admin_session_path) %>
The sidebar.html.erb can be found here : http://pastebin.com/4HJ69Pa7
Roelof
Look at the stack trace and find which line of your code generated the error, then post just that section.
Colin
I think you mean this :

Or do you mean the application.stack, framework trace or the whole trace. I see the error when doing rails s

What in the name of all that's merciful are you using as an editor?
Look *closely* at the error message.
You're using "smart" (sic) quotes instead of normal double-quote characters. Fix that and it'll work as expected.
Thanks,
Im using the ide of nitrious.io but this is the next problem that arise with wrong characters.
I think I will look for a decent Linux distro and look then for a solution where I can have all the files at one window. my code in another and a terminal as a footer.
Roelof
Well spotted Hassan. Isn't it annoying when someone sees something
that one should have seen oneself 
Particularly when I am always telling people to look at the error message.
