I agree with you, and your suggestion was how I had solved this problem previously. I was just trying to eliminate the need for the layout method for these nested controllers as well (DRYing layout sharing for nested controllers even more ;-). > I like your previous suggestion of removing the extraneous > "controller" directory from the 'layouts' directory.

I just submitted a patch that fixes this issue and also enhances the documentation to explain how to get the auto-discovery of layout files to work with nested controllers. This fix, along with the creation of a BaseController for each of the nested sections of an application, creates what I think is a very nice solution to the problem. If you have an Admin::BaseController < ApplicationController, the layout that is first looked for is app/views/layouts/admin/base.rhtml. I really like this solution to layout sharing for nested controllers. Hopefully it will get applied before 1.1 ships. -- DeLynn Berry [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.delynnberry.com _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
