Hello, Just wondering if someone here as successfully ported Liquid to use with a database. I would like to try it out but not sure how Liquid integrates with current templates.

I''m not sure how others like Stikipad or Shopify are using them, but my little blog engine Mephisto uses liquid. svn co http://techno-weenie.net/svn/projects/mephisto/trunk # set up database.yml rake install_mephisto I don''t yet ship with decent templates (mephisto is very rough and not ready for public consumption), but here''s some samples: http://techno-weenie.net/templates.yml Here''s the liquid rendering in action: http://collaboa.techno-weenie.net/repository/file/mephisto/trunk/app/controllers/application.rb http://collaboa.techno-weenie.net/repository/file/mephisto/trunk/app/controllers/mephisto_controller.rb Liquid cannot access your model''s properties, so I wrote a #to_liquid method to return a hash. -- Rick Olson http://techno-weenie.net
Hi Rick, Thanks for your reply. I will definitely check the resource links out. A quick question, are you using file based liquid templates or storing them in the database?

I''m trying to use Liquid on a new application and it doesn''t give me an idea how to create a to_liquid method on my models. Is there any way to do it across all models? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I have a model Caller which I want to pull from.

Thanks for answering Rick, but I still don''t "get it".
In your Articles you have a
def to_liquid(options = {})
Mephisto::Liquid::ArticleDrop.new self, options
end
And similarly in other models, the name of the drop changes based upon
the model. But now of course my problem is that if I drop that in my
model, take out the "Mephisto" and make the drop name appropriate, it
still doesn''t work. I wish I really understood the HOW of how this
works, but just getting it to work would be a good step.
Thanks for all your help. Hope I am not sounding too ignorant.
