Hi,
Let''s say I wanted to add something to Rails that I would like all
applications to use. For example, I would like to add the pluggable
parameter parsing using:
ActionController::Base.param_parsers[''application/atom+xml'']
Proc.new do |data|
node = REXML::Document.new data
{ node.root.name => node.root }
end
(got this example from e.g. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8968,
but it''s also in the source code). I would not like this to be related
to a specific controller or application - I would like to add it for
all applications at once. In this case, it would be for both already
existing applications and the ones I create. What is the appropriate
place for this (if any)? I know that editing environment.rb is a good
place for per-application settings.
Yes, another (relatively simple) way would be to just
''require'' the
Ruby file with these settings in all applicaitons, but I am just
curious if there is some standard way of doing this.

I would say the appropriate place for this would be in a plugin. Doing anything else would mean modifying the Rails core code, which I''m guessing would violate your Rails open source license agreement (unless you''re a Rails contributor). Basically, if you modify Rails it won''t be Rails anymore. Rails is kind enough to offer a plug-in architecture where you should be able to do what you want and include it into all or your applications.

A plugin is probably the way to go, but there''s nothing wrong from the point of view of licensing with fiddling with the core code - Rails is distributed under the MIT license which allows you to do pretty much anything Fred -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
