You can override default rendering at the controller level.

class Admin::HomeController < Admin::BaseController layout "admin"

You can also override rendering of layouts at a controller action level:

def show render :layout => "layout_for_show_only" end

And, if you are really desperate, you can override layouts in the view:

<%= render "print_view", :layout => "print" %>

See the excellent rails guide on the subject: layouts and rendering in Rails

thanks! I did this in the controller.. def show render :layout=>false end
@Themasterhimself- If you want to remove it from all the pages of the controller, you can do layout nil at the top of the controller.

You can simply add to the controller:

layout false, only: [:show, :edit]

which means, that application layout won't be rendered for the show and edit pages

You can set: format.js {render :layout=>false}
