I have a Rails app where on the home page home/index.html.erb, I show a partial for the model workorders. It currently defaults to the home_controleer.rb with the action index.
Can I select the workorders_controller.rb and action index2?
I tried this in the home/index.html.erb view file:
<%= render :partial => "workorders/index7", :controller => "workorders", :action => "index2" %>
But it's not working.
Try this instead:
<%= render :template => "workorders/index2" %>

I haven't really worked with bootstrap, but maybe you could do something like this [pseudocode]:
def home
if [x condition]
redirect_to index_seven_path
else
render :action => [y action]
end
end
index in the controller home instead of action index7 in controller workorders
workorders/index7.html.erb view. I changed it from _index7.html.erb (a partial). But, it's not executing the index7 action in workorders_controller.rb. Instead it's executing the index action in the home_controller.rb.http://localhost:5000/workorders/index7 then it executes the index7 action in the workorders controller. But, I want it to show on the home page not on a separate page.http://localhost:5000/workorders/index7 a named route and call it (say redirect_to index_seven_path) where you need it? Is the index7 action always what will be called, or it's conditional on something?
