In my opinion you should have 2 layouts. * application, * padding. The `padding' layout should be nested inside application and (according to its name) add some padding :-). Look here about how to do it in rails 2 and 3: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/5305-rails3-rc-named-yield-should-return-nil-when-content_for-with-that-name-was-not-called
With that you could setup layout per every action. layout :application layout :padding, :only => [:new]. The second way of doing this: Add one more stylesheet in every view that needs padding: #application.html.erb layout <head> <%= yield :head %> </head> #new.html.erb content_for(:head) do stylesheet_link_tag 'padding' end You could abstract it into helper method and use as simple as: #new.html.erb <%= padding() %> Third way is to create helper that would be used this way: <%= padding do %> create your content here <% end %> I wouldn't bother controller with such a minor change in view layer so I prefere keeping padding in views instead changing layout on the controller side.
