render_with_templates? not available to engines

[mhinton]

The PagesController method render_with_templates? is not available to the other engines. I have to move render_with_templates? up to the ApplicationController and add the line render_with_templates?(:action => params[:action]) to new and thank_you in the InquiriesController to be able to change the layout used.

Should it be available to other extensions? It's functionality that is specific to the pages extension.

Or does it not work when you're visiting a particular page?

I want to be able to specify the layout that the inquiries pages use and
by default that doesn't work. The @page object has the layout value set
but unless you use render_with_templates? the layout value isn't taken
into account.

👍 on refactoring render_with_templates -- sheerly for the fact that you should be able to call error_404 outside of the Pages Controller.

Once #2089 is merged you'll be able to use:

include Refinery::Pages::RenderOptions

There's a discussion about this on the google group - seems it's still a problem.
