RubyOnRails - One view, many actions

[infiliset]

Hi all,
I've got a view named "prompt.rhtml"and a controller named "customer"
with some actions ("prompt", "getdata", and so on...). Of course, the
URL "/customer/prompt" is associated to the action "prompt" and then
to the view "prompt.rhtml", but is it possible to associate the action
"getdata" with the view "prompt.rhtml"? If so, how can I do this?


Thanks,
Matthew

render :action => "prompt"

or

render :template => "customer/prompt"

Hi Pat,
if I use

render :action => "prompt"

in "getdata" action, I have:

getdata (action) -> prompt (action) -> prompt (view)

but I'd like to have:

getdata (action) -> prompt (view)

Is it possible?


Thank you,

What? No you don't. It just runs the getdata action and renders the
view that corresponds to the action named "prompt." It doesn't run
that other action. Anyway, I also showed you another way with render
:template.

Also I just noticed this is on rubytalk...you should direct any Rails
messages to the rails mailing list.
