Just curious - what does show do?

---

every web request renders the "show" view, which then renders other views. In html format, it looks like this:

 

view :show do |args|

@main_view = args[:view] || args[:home_view]

 

if ajax_call?

view = @main_view || :open

self.render view, args

else

self.render_layout args

end

end

 

 

this ticket is really pretty simple, and would just change

 

view :show do |args

 

to

 

def show( args )

in other words, it's the way the controller object talks to the format object.
