Passing @object into a rails partial render

Question

I have a partial:

\'profiles/_show.html.erb\'

that contains code like

<%= @profile.fullname %>

I\'m trying to render

Answer 1

For Rails 3+, the answer to your actual question is:

<%= render 'profiles/show', :@profile => blah %>

Your partial will now see @profile locally.

I'm not saying this is a good approach. I'm honestly not sure if this is ugly or not. But it works.
