Ruby on Rails

OK...I still have a problem:

The render_to_string method is only available in controllers and not
in models and views!!!

My approach was to check with several delayed_job my database entries
for changes (compare with external webservice!) and then run a
delayed_job for create the report with lower priority afterwards.

That is not working because I can't use render_to_string in a model
for the delayed_job.

Has anyone an idea how to solve this?

Or is it possible to delay a method from another controller?

I am so close! If I just call the method on a view the whole page is
stored as I want. I only need to do this in a delayed_job...!

@Colin Law: I had a look into caching, but I didn't understand the
whole thing, so I think for me it would be easier if my first approach
would work.
