Render form partial in a different controller (not nested)

Question

I have two models generated with generate scaffolding, one is a LogBook the other is LogEntry. I want to render the form partial for LogEntry on the LogBook show page. Whe

Answer 1

Try switching the render method as follows:

<%= render :partial => 'log_entries/form', :log_entry => @log_book.LogEntries.new %>

Using just render works when passing an instance variable of the object. However, since you're specifying a file, it's best to use the option.
