Rails - Make two different footers to appear on certain pages

I'm looking to have two different footers, and have one appear on specific pages. The site has a lot of pages, so I don't want to just hardcode each footer into each page.

In rails, how can I put in logic to have which footer appears on which page? Is there an 'if' statement I can put directly on the _footer partial that displays the footer by page?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can crate two different layouts( add .erb file to direcroty layouts in views ) or can create two partial and use them when you want, for example:

In your Controller add

class Controller
...
# You may use class or instrance variable
def your_method
  # your logic...
  @footer_variable = true
end

in your layout file add

<%= if @footer_variable %>
  <%= render 'optional_footer' %>
<%= else %>
  <%= render 'footer' %>
<%= end %>

and add to your layout's directory file footer.html.erb with your normal footer and optional_footer.html.erb

Optional Footer

<div>
  <span>I'm your optional footer</span>
</div>

Normal Footer

<div>
  <span>I'm your normal footer</span>
</div>``

If instance variable will be availiable in layout it will ber rendered optional footer otherwise normal footer( from your layout )
