Extending View Template?

[conradwt]

Is there an easy way to add additional content to the view template? I need to add a content_for to add content to another location with the DOM.

I don't believe there is an easy way to do this without forking it yourself, but you can override which views are rendered entirely by defining render_404_error and render_error in your controller. For example:

def render_404_error(exception = nil)
  if request.format.nil? or !request.format.html? # Gracefully handles poorly-written bots and mobile clients
    head 404
  else
    render 'errors/404'
  end
end

EDIT: Woops, sorry guys. Hit Comment and Close instead of Comment.
