Custom respond_to

By default active scaffold responds to the html, json, js, xml, and yaml mime types.
If you need to add a custom mime type you can do it in one of two ways.

Example:

	
to add a mime type to all actions

active_scaffold do |config|

  config.custom_formats << :pdf

end


	
to add it to only one action

active_scaffold do |config|

  config.show.custom_formats << :pdf

end

So now your controller or action will respond to that format. Now you need to hook into the response type for that action.
Example:

def show_respond_to_pdf
  #render whatever you want here
end

	
or if you want to override something that already exists

def show_respond_to_html

  render :action => :show, :layout => ‘main’

end
