Have you ever tried using partials? Partials can work you wonders. You need
to have several partials (with varied layouts as you wish) and have one *main
view* that calls them and switch them depending on a given condition. I have
a similar situation in some apps I work on. I give users different
"dashborad" layouts depending on their roles.
Let me give you a practical example:
<div id = "patient_dashboard">
<div id="details">
<%= render :partial => "details" %>
<% if @super_user || @doctor || @nurse%>
<%= render :partial => "simple_graph",
:locals=>{:fields=>@patient} rescue nil%>
<%end%>
<%= render :partial => "patient_visit_summary" %>
</div>
<div id="menu">
<%if @doctor%>
<%= render :partial => "doctors_menu" %>
<%elsif @clinician%>
<%= render :partial => "clinicians_menu" %>
<%<%elsif @nurse%>
<%= render :partial => "nurses_menu" %>
<%<%elsif @registration_clerk%>
<%= render :partial => "clerks_menu" %>
<%elsif @super_user%>
<%= render :partial => "super_users_menu" %>
<%end %>
</div>
</div>
Please let us know if it works for you.
