Today, I am sharing common code that i usually used to set my layout.
My layout contains conditionally sidebar, some action contain sidebar some are not.S
- One of the way is to create 2 layout file one with no sidebar and one for with sidebar.
- Other way is one layout file and conditionally set sidebar content.
I am using grid system, you can use any class who sets width of sidebar.
So my layout file contains
<div class="grid_16"> <div class="<%= main_content_css_class%>"> <%= yield %> </div> <div class="<%= sidebar_css_class%>"> <%= yield :sidebar %> </div> </div>
module ApplicationHelper def sidebar_enabled? current_page = "#{controller.controller_name}.#{controller.action_name}" current_controller = controller.controller_name pages = %w(some_controller,some_controller.specific_action) return pages.include?(current_page) || pages.include?(current_controller) end def main_content_css_class sidebar_enabled? ? "grid_12" : "grid_16" end #Returns the CSS class for the 'sidebar' div depending on sidebar requirement def sidebar_css_class sidebar_enabled? ? "grid_4" : "dont-show" end endSo basically sidebar_enabled? contain list of controller or controller.action_name in which sidebar is required.
You can use reverse way if your layout contains more sidebar.
I hope this is helpful for setting up layout.
