Hi,
I've been asked to put a 'contact us' form in many and various places on our site. Initially, I proposed we simply link to the contact us form, which is already handled by a model, view and controller, but the users would like the form itself to appear. I can certainly enclose the form in a partial, and include the partial, but then it seems I have to update many and various controllers with code to support the form loading, submission, and saving. It doesn't seem very dry.
Another thought - I could build the contact form controller and view(s) with no layout, and then include the URL to the contact form wherever necessary via iframe. I think that would be workable, but doesn't seem very rails-like.
Is there a rails idiom for including what I would term 'an unrelated and self contained form' within some other model/view/controller ?
Thank you.
Regards, Rich
