I''ve created a plugin to generate error pages with a single function call. The basic idea is that in your action you could call error_forbidden and an error page would be rendered with the HTTP status code 402. This works great so far when called from within an action, but when I want to add the call to the "verfy" line, things break: verify :method => :post, :only => [ :create, :update, :destroy ], :render => { :text => error_invalid } Generates the error message: "undefined method `error_invalid'' for EventsController:Class" How can I make the methods visible to the controller outside the actions? For some reason I haven''t been able to make it work for both. Here''s a snippet from the plugin: # ErrorPage module ErrorPagePlugin # # The user is forbidden to perform this action # def error_forbidden(options={}) options[:title] = options[:title] || "You do not have access to perform that action." options[:message] = options[:message] || "Make sure you''re logged in and have access to this feature." options[:template] = "errors/forbidden.rhtml" error_page(403, options) end # # Invalid form method (get, put, delete, post) # def error_invalid(options={}) options[:title] = options[:title] || "Invalid Action" options[:message] = options[:message] || "You have just tried to perform an action that is invalid for that item." options[:template] = "errors/invalid.rhtml" error_page(501, options) end # # Generate error page # def error_page(status=200, options={}) @status = status @title = options[:title] @message = options[:message] @override_h1 = true @page_id = "pg_error" tmpl = options[:template] || "errors/generic.rhtml" render :status => status, :template => tmpl end end Thanks, Jeremy --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
