Hello -
I''m grappling with some tricky URL rewriting with Apache 2 and
mod_rewrite,
and could use a hand.
Briefly:
URL for application is: www.servername.com/path/to/app/
There is no Alias directive; the application is in the directory
/www/content/path/to/app/ on the server file system.
The FastCGI dispatcher (dispatch.fcgi) lives at:
/www/fcgi-bin/path/to/app/dispatch.fcgi
Inside my .htaccess file, there is the standard rewrite rules:
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /fcgi-bin/path/to/app/dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
Problem: EVERYTHING is sent to dispatch.fcgi, which errors out, since it
cannot recognize the full URL string, which looks like:
"/path/to/app/controller/action"
What should I do?
Thanks!
--chris

I''ve just started learning Ruby and am having some problems with partial templates. Here''s what I have: 1. I''ve created a layout page that has page headers and footers 2. I''ve created a main index page that displays a list of product. 3. I''ve created a view called ''tags_for_product.rhtml'' that displays related tags for a product What I would like to do is to have a link next to each product in the list on the index page that says "show tags for product". By clicking this, the tags for the product should be displayed using AJAX. If I use the link_to_remote tag, I can link to the tags_for_product action, but the problem is that it renders the entire tags_for_product.rhtml page along with the headers and footers from the main layout which is a huge mess. Am I going about this the wrong way? What''s a better way to do that? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Tamim
Hello Tamin, you''ll then want ''tags_for_product.rhtml'' to be called ''_''tags_for_product.rhtml'' (the naming convent for partials). then your controller action (that responds to the link_to_remote) render :partial => ''tags_for_product'' #note the missing _ - it''s assumed to be prefixed to the name that''s it.

Hi Jodi, Thank you for the info. I do have the partial named ''_tags_for_product.rhtml''. The problem with using ''render :partial'' is that it will render the partial immediately. I want to be able to have a link that I click that can toggle the display of the info on and off. Here''s what I mean: http://www.tmpforums.com/temp/tags.avi I was able to achieve the above by getting rid of my main layout file and create two separate layout files in the shared directory, one for the header and one for the footer. I rendered the header and footer in the main page but not the original tags_for_product.rhtml page. Then I''m using link_to_remote to link to the tags_for_product.rhtml page. It works, but I suspect it''s not the best way to do it because I really don''t want to include headers and footers on numerous pages.

Tamim - I''m confused about your layouts question - does it help that
you can render without layout with render :partial =>
''partial_name'', :layout => false ?
To show/hide your tag info using :loaded (or :success) to indicate
that your :update div should be shown.
something like:
<%= link_to_remote("tags",
:update => ''tag-info'',
:success => "new Effect.Appear
(''tag-info'')",
:url => { :action =>
''show_product_tags'', :id => @product %>
check out wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/VisualEffects for
other visual effects (fade, slide_down, etc) you can use.
cheers,
Jodi

Thanks Jodi. Actually, that''s what I''m using now. I actually
have two
divs (one with the show link and one with the hide link) and they each
toggle the other. Here''s a snippet of what I''m using:
<span id="product<%= product.id %>show">[ <%=
link_to_remote ("Show
Tags",
:update => "product#{product.id}tags",
:loading =>
%(Element.hide("product#{product.id}show")),
:loaded =>
%(Element.show("product#{product.id}hide")),
:success =>
%(Element.show("product#{product.id}tags")),
:url => {
:action => "tags_for_product",
:id => product.id
}) %> ]</span>
<div id="product<%= product.id -%>tags"></div>
<span id="product<%= product.id %>hide"
style="display:none">[ <%=
link_to_remote ("Hide Tags",
:update => "product#{product.id}tags",
:loading =>
%(Element.show("product#{product.id}show")),
:loaded =>
%(Element.hide("product#{product.id}hide")),
:success =>
%(Element.hide("product#{product.id}tags")),
:url => {
:action => "none",
}) %> ]</span>
I know you can over-ride the layout usage on a partial (actually I
don''t
think partials use the layouts anyway), but can you over-ride the use of
a layout on a regular view page? Basically I don''t want the layout to
be
applied to tags_for_product.rhtml. Thanks again.
Best Regards,
Tamim

that''s how I''d do it Tamin. you probably don''t want the :loaded and :success though (both will be called when success happens). cya.
