How to hide footer layout on a particular page?

Question

On my view page, I want to hide the footer partial that is defined in my application.html.erb, how can I do this?

what options do I have to do this?

Answer 1

The easiest/quickest way would probably be to define a conditional:

<%= render "layouts/footer" unless @skip_footer %>

and then set the variable as necessary in your actions:

def non_footer_action
  do_stuff
  @skip_footer = true
end
