Q:

Form partial in RefineryCMS

I need to make a form that I can show on every page of my Refinery site. I know about
rails g refinery:form

and in fact, have already used that. I'm just wondering how to turn the generated view (located in /vendor/extensions) into a partial that I can use across the whole site. 
Thanks in advance.

A:

@IGNIS, it should just work!
Using RefineryCMS -- I have an extension at vendor/extensions/notices.
In there is a partial app/views/custom/_displayLatestNotices.html.erb like:
<ul id="notices">
  <% Refinery::Notices::Notice.each do |notice| %>
     <li><h3><%= notice.title %></h3>
         <p><%= notice.body %></p>
     </li>
  <% end %>
</ul>

And I can show that from the main site code like:
<% content_for :body do %>
  <%= render( :partial => "custom/displayLatestNotices" ) %>
<% end %>

So, in your generated form extension for "widget" you will probably have something like: app/views/refinery/widgets/widgets/new.html.erb.
I would refactor that into two files, with the form itself in: app/views/refinery/widgets/widgets/_new_widget_form.html.erb.
In your new.html.erb you probably want to include this form partial -- and you should be able to include it elsewhere via:
<%= render( :partial => "refinery/widgets/widgets/_new_widget_form" ) %>
or possibly even just:
<%= render( :partial => "_new_widget_form" ) %>
