Ruby on Rails: conditionally display a partial

Question

I\'m not sure if I\'m doing the best approach here, but I have a block of data that I want to show after a search is done and to not be there at all before. First of all, there

Answer 1

Assuming I am following you right, you do this at the view level.

<% if !@my_search_data.nil? %>
<% render :partial => 'foo/bar' %>
<% end %>

Hope that helps. If not, maybe post an example of your code.
