We''ve been playing with the Presenter pattern a bit (as I asked about a few weeks ago) and now better understand the limitations without hacking deep into Rails. We''re sticking closely with Jay Fields'' thoughts: http://blog.jayfields.com/2007/03/rails-presenter-pattern.html But since a Presenter isn''t an ActionView, we wind up with ERb that looks like this (from our Atom feed generator): <%= @presenter.make_tag_URI(url_for(@presenter.entry)) %> instead of something nicer like this: <%= @presenter.entry_id %> So what we want is to call ActionView helpers inside our Presenter methods. Thoughts on how to do this? Should we be making our Presenters subclasses of ActionView? Is there some other "down in the guts" way we should pursue? We''ve looked at Simply Presentable and it seems to have the same issue. thx, --dwf --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
