I am setting up a system where users can have a simple "wrapper"
liquid template and then we insert the content. So a simple liquid
file would look like:
<html>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
{{ content_for_layout }}
</div>
</body>
</html>
What I would like to do is let users set a variable using liquid that
affects the content_for_layout. So for example:
<html>
<body>
{% assign show_authors = 'true' %}
<div id="wrapper">
{{ content_for_layout }}
</div>
</body>
And then the erb template that gets rendered for content_for_layout
might look like this:
<% @posts.each do |post| %>
<h2><%= @post.title %></h2>
<%= @post.author if show_authors == 'true' %>
<% end %>
Is this possible?
Thanks,

So basically you're letting users design a layout, which you want to
render the actions into?
render the actions into?

Okay, well, thinking about it quickly, it's not looking nice, but it
will work. I'm sure there's a nicer way, however. Basically, you
might write your views normally, then write a standard layout that
just renders the Liquid template manually. Making the variables from
the Liquid template available would be a bit fiddly however (because
the easiest way to do things would be to render the Liquid template
after everything else). I might have to have a think...
