I would like to render specific HTML snippets for displaying banners, because each banner has a different nature (some images, some flash, etc). Every banner file is under app/public/banners/. I tried many ways, like:
render :file => "/banners/somebanner.html"
But it can't locate the file, because Rails looks under app/views. Any ideas ? Thanks!
Missing template banners/somebanner.html in v开发者_Python百科iew path app/views
I've never tired it but just found this post on Google
render :file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/banners/somebanner.html"
looks like there might be some caching side-effects, even in development mode

also you probably want :layout => false with that
Temporary Fix:
Moved 'public/banners' to 'app/views/banners' and then made a synmlink in '/public' so my team can add new banners
