I need to render another controller action <%= render \"controller/index\" %> and i get this error

Missing partial controller/inde

Answer 1

If you do not want just to render the view of the other controller (/model), but calling the action (method), think more the ruby way of life - put this method(s) into a module and include it in the controllers you need it.

I think its less 'spooky' then somehow touching an other controller.

module StandardActions
    def show_user_homepage(local_params=params)
        #something finding 
        #something to check
        render :"homepage/show" 
    def
end

class AddressesController < ApplicationController
    include StandardActions

    def update
        # update address
        if ok
            show_user_homepage(id: user_id)
        else
            #errorthings
            render :edit #(eg.)
        end
    end         
end

class HobbiesController  < ApplicationController
    include StandardActions

    def update      
        # update hobby
        if ok
            show_user_homepage(id: user_id)
        else
            #errorthings
            render :edit #(eg.)
        end
    end         
end
