Rails: how do I use a template from somewhere other than the file system? -

i have application needs support small set of trusted users uploading new templates. i'll store them in database or in s3. question is: how tell controller render given template? of course, manual erb call:

class mycontroller < applicationcontroller   def foo     template_source = find_template(params[:name])     template = erubis::eruby.new(template_source)     render :text => template.result({ :some => @data })   end end 

but lose things helpers , automatic copying of instance variables.

you using render :inline

render :inline => find_template(params[:name])
