Mobile version of views for Ruby on Rails

Question

I\'m after some validation that I\'m doing the right thing. I have my Ruby on Rails application in the following structure:

/home
   about.rhtml<

Answer 1

firstly, you should be using .html.erb as your template extension

secondly you can use logic to detect the type of layout to use based on the user agent (request.user_agent).

layout :site_layout

def site_layout
  some_way_to_detect_the_layout_to_use
end

Note, the user_agent can be faked, but a majority of people wont bother faking it so the solution should be "good enough" for 99.9% of cases.
