Yep, that's the way it works, though "template" is the wrong word.
This: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html
may help.
If you want something within the scope of a layout like a title to be
dynamic you can assign the value in your controller and pass it in
as a variable, e.g. <title>@title</title>
Thanks, I can see what was happening now..
Whatever view is displayed, if displays the html from here
.\app\views\layouts\application.html.erb
which specifies a title and some other tags.
And that file says
<body>
<%= yield %>
</body>
And then so when trying to access '/', it went to some specified controller some action, e.g. blah#bleh, then it rendered the application.html.erb file, and inserted within it, the blah\bleh.html.erb file. A fix was to rename application.html.erb
Why is template not an appropriate name.. Isn't any ERB file a template, since you can insert data into it?
Also I notice that when I do root 'application#a' and I have in my application controller def a end, then I http to '/' then it runs the action but it can't find the template.. Is there anywhere that I can put a.html.erb that the rails server would find it? Or does the application controller not have a corresponding template for each action?
