ror-practices-merb-practices
I will just write down my most recent gotchas here, hoping that others do the same and someone organizes once patterns emerge :)
Redirects
Redirect_to in RoR becomes redirect in Merb, redirect in Merb requires a String, not a Hash. To solve this, use url(...). Example:
redirect url(:controller => 'comment', :action => 'new')
Partials
Rendering partials in Merb uses its own function call, partial. Partial can take a symbol for an action which is in the controller’s view folder or a string if you wish to fully qualify the location of the partial. For the classical rendering of a shared _form.html.erb between ‘new’ and ‘edit’ CRUD operations:
partial :form
To specify variables which will be accessible as local in the partial:
partial "/shared/foo_rendering", :foo => bar
