Facebooker talk - Mar 2008 - render not able to locate template in publisher

Hi guys,

I have a publisher called UserPublisher setup in models directory of
my app. The reason I have it in a model is because its then possible
for me to invoke publisher methods in after_callbacks of my other
models, just the way we do it for ActionMailer.

My problem is that when I try to update a users profile specifying
location of the view template as a paramater to "profile" method, it
gives an error "ActionView::TemplateFinder::InvalidViewPath
(Unprocessed view path found:
"/home/jatinder/rails_apps/app-name/app/views/."

The call to profile method looks like this,
profile render :partial => "/users/profile", :assigns => {:user
=>
user_to_be_updated }


Anybody has a clue where could I be wrong?

I resolved this by replacing following line in method
"initialize_template_class" of publisher.rb
 returning
ActionView::Base.new([template_root,File.join(template_root,self.class.controller_path)],
assigns, self) do |template|

with

 path = ActionController::Base.view_paths rescue
ActionController::Base.view_root
 returning ActionView::Base.new(path, assigns, self) do |template|

Anyone who has faced a similar problem before?



Thanks
Jatinder

I just added a section on profiles to the facebooker tutorial, it isn''t
too
through but it might help.
http://apps.facebook.com/facebooker_tutorial/messaging/profile

The only differences I see are that my publisher is in RAILS_ROOT/lib and I
have the extenstions on the partial''s paths, ( I don''t
remember why I did
that ).  I don''t understand that initialize_template_class method so I
don''t
have any insight there.  But is there really a period after the last slash?
"/home/jatinder/rails_apps/app-name/app/views/."  that seems suspect.

BTW:  You don''t need to have your publisher in the models directory in
order
to use it in a model.
