    Hi. I would like render additional template (called submenu) - but only, if it exists for current controller- For instance, dashboard controller hasn't got any subactions, so I don't need submenu with additional actions - but in some controllers I would like to have such menu ;) <%= render :partial=>'submenu'%> works only if I have _submenu.tpl in views directory. How can I check, that this file exists(I hope I don't have to call if(file_exists(AK_VIEWS_CONSTANT.'/views/admin/'.CURRENT_CONTROLLER_CONSTANT.'/_submenu.tpl') ){ //render template }

    Why not?

    well-this way works, but I can't tell, that looks preety- I'll rather write new helper, with function sth like CheckTemplateExistence(), but I thought, that Akelos has built-in function like this ;)

    http://api.akelos.org/, AkActionView::getFullTemplatePath(). Your line of PHP code works just as well.

    function getFullTemplatePath($template_path, $extension)
{
    $template_path = substr($template_path,-1*strlen($extension)) == $extension ? $template_path : $template_path.'.'.$extension;
    return substr($template_path,0,strlen(AK_VIEWS_DIR)) == AK_VIEWS_DIR ? $template_path : $this->base_path.DS.$template_path;
}

function _templateExists($template_path, $extension)
{
    $file_path = $this->getFullTemplatePath($template_path, $extension);

    return !empty($this->_method_names[$file_path]) || file_exists($file_path);
}
