put show action on a profile page

Question

class ProfileController < ApplicationController

def show

  username = params[:username]

  @user = User.find_by_username(username)
  if @user
    @title = "Profile for #{username}"
      user_id = @user.id

    @albums = Album.find(:all, :conditions => ["user_id = ?", user_id])

I have managed to display the index of albums for a given user on their profile page. Moving to the show action for an album displays the pictures in the given album. How can I put the show action of the album on the user's profile page?

Answer 1

Assume that you set up a partial for showing a single album.

app/views/albums/_display.html.erb

<h2><%= h album.name %></h2>
<p><%= h album.description %></p>

On the user page, you could display the albums by rendering that partial.

<% @albums.each do |album| -%>
  <%= render :partial => "/albums/display", :locals => {:album => album} %>
<% end -%>
