Ruby on Rails - How do I render an action without the application layout?

Question

Hi,

I have a rails app and I want to render an action without using my application layout (which has page header / footer stuff in it).

How could I go about doing this?

Answer 1

Here's some documentation about it: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html

For your question:

render :layout => false

or

layout nil
