rails 3 custom mime type - default view format

Question

I need to render some views without layout. To skip line :render :layout=>false and if else logic from controller actions, i have custom mime type like phtml (plain html).<

Answer 1

You can use the layout method in your controller directly:

class ProductsController < ApplicationController
  layout "product", :except => [:index, :rss]
end

Or to use no layout at all:

class ProductsController < ApplicationController
  layout nil
end
