Regarding Ivan's problem - custom sidebar content in layouts, here is a solution I found on the way home:

Agile Development with Ruby on Rails, Section 22.9, Passing Data to Layouts, Page 508:

The same mechanism that lets you use yield :layout to embed the rendering of a template into the layout also allows you to generate arbitrary content in a template, which you can then embed in any template.

For example, different templates may need to add their own template-specific items to the standard page sidebar. We'll use the content_for mechanism in those templates to define content and then use yield in the layout to embed this content into the sidebar.
