Using a layout other than application.html.erb in ruby on rails application?

Question

How could I create and use a new template instead of application.html.erb in a RoR application? What are the setting that I need to change to have another template?

Answer 1

Actually, all controllers will search for same-named layouts by default inside /views/layouts folder with fallback to application.html.erb . For example, UsersController will search for users.html.erb . Anyway, to use other layout add next to your controller:

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  layout 'custom'
end
