Turn off layout for one of action

Question

My situation: View action of ReportsController should render pure html, but not as a file (to view it in browser and save it after). So for rendering I use view template view.html.erb and i neet to turn off any layouts for this action. But in other actions of this controller layouts should stay untouched. Works only turning off for whole controller like this:

ReportsController < ApplicationController   layout false 

But that doing it wrong :( for all the actions I tried to use something like this in action:

def view         @report = Report.new(params[:report])   unless @report.valid?     render :action => 'new' and return   else     render :layout => false        end    end 

What should I do?

Answer 1

This should do it,

def view     ...     render :layout => false end
