Showing another controllers action

If I am in controller A and I want to show the index of controller B, how would I do that?

Wouldn't you just do a simple redirect?

  def create     @scenario = Scenario.new(params[:scenario])     if @scenario.save       flash[:notice] = 'Scenario was successfully created.'       # where do we return to?       case params[:from_type]         when 'project'           redirect_to projectview_path(params[:from_id])         else           redirect_to scenarioviews_path       end     else       render :action => "new"     end   end

No, I dont want to redirect to another controller. I want to stay in my current controller.

Here is what I did:

The RJS file replaces my content area with a partial. My partial uses one line of code

<%= render_file "CONTROLLER_B_NAME/index.html.erb" %>

If anybody else knows a better why, I'd be appreciative to hear it.

In controller A:

render :controller_b, :action => "your_action"

I believe it's:

render(:controller => "controller_name", :action => "your_action")

I haven't tried it, but that's the syntax for redirect_to

HTH.
