Layouts and Views

[11175]

Hello,
I have a controller which has two actions. For the first, I want to use
the standard layout, but for the second, I don't want any layout. For
example:

class MyController < ApplicationController
  layout 'standard'

   def index
     @display = 'this view has a standard layout!'
   end

   def anotheraction
     @display = 'this view has a standard layout, but I dont want it
to!'
   end
end

Is there a way I can make 'anotheraction' not use the layout defined in
the class?

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you,
- Jeff Miller

nevermind, I just got it.

layout 'standard', :except => :anotheraction

Sorry for the post - I should have googled it more thoroughly first

You can also render :layout => false in the action you don’t want to have a layout. Make sure this is the last line in the method definition.
