Masterview devel - Aug 2006 - Update on progress for MasterView admin pages, rails 1.1.6 compatibility 8/16/06

Well after further contemplation I thought of a better approach to the
Rails 1.1.6 issue. Instead of jumping through all the hoops I was
going to do, I realized that we could extend the safe_load_path method
that Rails 1.1.6 added for finding controllers.

I thought I would also check on how Rails engines patched their code
and it turned out they are doing the same thing which confirms the
approach.

This becomes a much simpler fix, so I will try to have this
implemented today. Sorry for the delay in getting this out, my
personal schedule had been overflowing, but I am out of crunch now.

I will send out the announcement when new release is ready.

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff, how did you discover safe_load_path? On a list or rummaging
aound in the Rails source?

No problem. Legacy gravitational forces pulled me into the orbit of an
older project for a while, so I''ve yet to return since the 1.1.6
update.

I liked the ability of using the MV Admin pages to view the resultant
.rhtml output. Is there any way to still see them using the rake
tasks? Thanks

Jeff, this was the last message I got (last Wednesday.) Anyway, I
updated the gem (0.2.4) and the Admin pages now work. However the
issue with the rake command doesn''t work. I''ve pasted the
output
below:

Ed

rake mv:list_all
....
referral_followup/ref_type.html OK
        generates: referral_followup/_ref_type.rhtml

referral_followup/referral_followup_index.html  OK
        generates: referral_followup/index.rhtml
...

# the broken one:

rake mv:view_rhtml RHTML=referral_followup/_ref_type.rhtml
(in /home/edh/work/srs/srs_plus)
rake aborted!
RHTML (referral_followup/_ref_type.rhtml) does not exist. Use rake
mv:list_all to find correct rhtml file to view

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

# works for files w/o leading underscore ''_''
rake mv:view_rhtml RHTML=referral_followup/index.rhtml
....
  lots of rhtml goodness
...

The broken file in rake above, comes up ok in Admin page/View RHTML

I''m not sure what went wrong then, because I posted the following
message to masterview-users, masterview-announce, masterview-devel,
stlruby.org, and rails mailing list.

Here is a link to it archived in masterview users archive
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/masterview-users/2006-August/000066.html

In an nutshell, 0.2.5 gem is available on Rubyforge which fixes
compatibility of admin pages with 1.1.5-1.1.6. It also fixes the rake
mv:view_html partial problem you were having.

As I mentioned earlier, I also have a slightly newer version in svn
which I will go out in next release which makes admin pages also
compatible with edge rails.

I also sent you a few personal emails which I will try to resend.

PS. Let me know that you got this email too.

Jeff
