I'd like to display a banner on every page. Ultimately I'll be tweaking which banner is displayed via different controllers but initially I'd just like to set a single banner application wide and display it in my "_header", a partial I include in all layouts.
I've got a BannerAdvert model, simple. If I'm in my welcome controller index action I can simply do, @banner_url = BannerAdvert.first.url in my _header partial (view) I display the url, works fine. ----- BUT - my header is called from other controllers, I don't want to be non-dry and repeat @banner_url = BannerAdvert.first.url all over the place. I'd like to set @banner_url = BannerAdvert.first.url application wide for now - how do I do this, should be easy but I'm having a Friday afternoon mental block! I thought application_controller and application_helper, but putting the code in either of those two didn't work. Please help cure my insanity, any inspiration really appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
