Rails: call another contoller action from a controller
Hi I'm new to rails and in my home page view I want to call actions in other controllers. I am using render 'the/relevant/url'.
This is calling the view but not hitting the correct controller actions code and therefore not setting up the view models that the views are expecting.
I am coming from asp.net mvc world and here we can use render action and this will hit the controller code for the action.
Can this be done in rails?
Is asp.net doing mvc pattern wrong if you can't?
Many Thanks
UPDATE
My intention is to call from the home page's view another controller actions to get side data not related to the main controllers details, eg. Quote of the day or Hot deal of the day.
