hi, Does anyone know how I can render a partial that has an assosciation with something else (e.g. render a comments partial in posts-- where the comments belong to posts). Thanks
If you have your model associations setup properly you should be able to access them using post.comments
For example:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments end
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :post end
In _post.rhtml you can do
<%= render :partial => "comment/comment", :collection => post.comments %>
That assumes you have a partial called _comment.rhtml in the "comment" directory under views.
Thanks!
