Render RHTML inside RHTML Ruby (Like PHP Include)

Question

Hey people sorry it this seems stupid! I usually code in PHP so this is very different! In PHP I would write...

<?php include 'somefile.php'; ?>

Now in ruby I have my .rhtml which contain instances of <%= Something %> and <% something %> I have two RHTML files one.html and two.rhtml How to I render one within another? I'm not trying to render scripts just plain HTML inside a .rhtml file type.

I have tried <% include('two.rhtml');%> as in http://www.phptoruby.com/tag/include

could someone give my some guidance ?

Many many thanks in advance.

You should be using

render products/show

where show will be a partial.

Referring to http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html would help. Explanation:

In one.rhtml code will be as follwos:

here assumption is that one.rhtml and two.rhtml are in the same folder of views. If there are in different folder you will like to mention the path like <%= render products/show %> where _show.rhtml is being called from product's folder of views.

Remember that partial files are named as _show.rhtml, _.html.erb

Thanks for this. Do i need to define elsewhere where the products view folders are? or is it just products in relation to where one.rhtml is?

You have to render a partial Rails Partials

You have to save the file that you want to call with an _(underscore) like _two.html.erb and then call that partial in one.html.erb with

render "two"

I usually create a folder for the partials, for example I create a folder called partials inside app/views and inside partials I create the partials I need, then call them with

render "partials/partial_name"

Odd, this is giving me errors. How do i diagnose errors in rhtml files?

Can you check changing the files to extension html.erb?, I think new version of rails doesn't support rhtml anymore
