As an Administrator, I want to be able to change the layout and the template for my content

[robyurkowski]

I should be able to make any type of (conforming) content able to use an alternate layout or template.

This is done. Inside your controller:

layout :my_layout

Easy. Done by Rails, in fact.

Now, let's talk about how different content types should implement this. I'm of the opinion that this is the responsibility of the conductor to decide and pass up the chain. Thoughts?

Should the conductor know about layouts??

[robyurkowski]

I think so. I think it should be able to deduce whether to display a custom one or not, and pass that back as part of the data hash.

Totally agree
