#render_partial_or_default(name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Tries to render the partial, if it doesn’t exist, we will try to find the partial in the default views folder for this controller.

Example:

in app/views/users/index.html.erb <%= render_partial_or_default ‘item’, :collection => @items %>

First it will try to reder ‘app/views/users/_item.html.erb’. If this file doesn’t exist, it will lookup _item.html.erb in the default views folder.
