Answer 1

Replace your render with this:

<%= render 'layouts/header' unless @disable_nav %>

Then you can simply set disable_nav to true in any controller action you like:

def landing_page
  @disable_nav = true
end

---

As a before_filter, which I'd encourage over the above:

application_controller.rb

def disable_nav
  @disable_nav = true
end

my_controller

before_filter :disable_nav, only: [:landing_page]
