rendering and action controller in a view

Hi, If I'm in the view of users_controller's index action (index.html.erb).

Can I do something like this?

<%= render :layout=>false, :controller => 'favorites', :action => :show, :id => 1 %>

That would be awesome.

Thank you, David :slight_smile:

I tried

<%= render :template => "../things/edit" %>

But that didn't seem to do anything....

What's wrong with render :partial => 'show', where the show action calls a page that renders the same partial?

If both actions require the same controller setup code, put it in a helper...
