Using a different layout for just one action in controller

In the controller:

layout :layout_a, :except => :fred layout :layout_b, :only => fred

Ugly, but use the method version of layout:

  layout :standard_or_remote   def standard_or_remote(controller)     if controller.action_name == 'view'       'remote'     else       'standard'     end   end

Don't forget:

def standard_or_remote(controller)   controller.action_name == 'view' ? 'remote' : 'standard' end
