When working with views, I use instance methods of ApplicationHelper: # app/helpers/application_helper.rb: module ApplicationHelper def distribute(total, min, cutof, list) [1,2,3] end end # app/views/planner/_mta_colors.rhtml: <td> <% ... dist = distribute(total_v_px, 4, 0, colors.collect{|color| color[1]}) ... %> So to test the distribute method in ApplicationHelper, I have

Hi there, I have seen in the file column plugin ( http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/) from Sebastian Kanthak or David''s acts_as_taggable plugin that to register my functionality I need to do something like this: ApplicationHelper.send(:include, InPlaceEditAssociations) I am wondering why not: (a) module ApplicationHelper include InPlaceEditAssociatons end or: (b)

Folks, I seem to be missing something basic here. I am trying to call a function from my application layout that will return me a hash of the roles for the user currently signed in. Here is the simplified code I have in ApplicationHelper module class Array def to_h Hash[*enum_with_index.to_a.flatten] end end def get_cur_user_roles ["school_admin",

i have: # file application_helper.rb module ApplicationHelper def load_components @right_sidebar = ''some stuffs'' end end # file user_public/blog_helper.rb module UserPublic::BlogHelper def load_components ApplicationHelper.load_components @right_sidebar += ''{blog archive}'' end end the problem is, i want to load the

Hello, I''m facing this problem while trying to extend the parse_redmine_links helper method in Redmine-1.1.0 (Rails-2.3.5) from my plugin. My idea is to use alias_method_chain so the extended version could call the original version and adjust the result to it''s liking. Anything I''ve tried so far exposes this behavior: the first render of a page uses the extended

I am a little confused by the includes I suspect. In the book, it states that runtime environment will load the directories app, app/models, app/controllers, app/helpers, app/apis, components, config, lib, vendor and vendor/rails/*. However, when I try to access my "current_project" public method, it fails with a NoMethodError. What is even stranger is that I can use reflection to find

Hello, I''m using Ruby 1.8.4 (darwinport), rails-1.0.0 (gem) , Powerbook / Mac OS X 10.4.5 , Webrick. How come Rails always raises NoMethodError for my helper (must_fill and rp or number_to_currency_rp) in application_helper.rb ? I doubt that alias_method is the culprit, but if i give # comment then there will be no errors at all ... :/ what am i doing wrong? is it a bug or stupid me? Thx

hello, I want to make a table within a form by making a new form_tag. The following code in ApplicationHelper fails: def tabular_form_for(name, object = nil, options = nil, &proc) concat("<table>", proc.binding) form_for(name, object, (options||{}).merge(:builder => TabularFormBuilder), &proc) concat("</table>",

form_remote_tag does not support the input type=file. This is due to javascript security limitations. I created a plugin that modifies form_remote_tag so that if you pass it the option: :html => {:multipart => true}, it will submit via an iframe, allowing you to upload files. It works nicely with file_column :). Currently, it only works with RJS templates (no :update option), and I only

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test. I boiled my question down to a simple (not too useful) example. I''m not sure what I''m missing. #

Hello. I just started getting this error but can''t figure out what I did in the past day that might be causing this: "A copy of ApplicationHelper has been removed from the module tree but is still active!" Apparently, there are others that have seen this -- gathering from a google search -- but I can''t find any solution. Has anyone seen this? Here is what

What wrong? environment.rb require "will_paginate" application_helper.rb include WillPaginate::ViewHelpers def will_paginate_with_i18n(collection, options = {}) will_paginate_without_i18n(collection, options.merge(:previous_label => I18n.t(:previous), :next_label => I18n.t(:next))) end alias_method_chain :will_paginate, :i18n

I just switched our project over to Edge Rails, and I''m running into this problem with all of my helper methods that call _url methods: NoMethodError in ''ApplicationHelper home_link should generate a valid home link when User.current and Profile.current is not set'' You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of

Hi Guys, I''m having some trouble getting login_engine to work. I''ve followed the steps in the README file to the letter (I think) with the exception of the Mailer stuff and cannot get my application to run. Heres what I have; module ApplicationHelper include login_engine end ##################################### require ''login_engine'' class

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn''t find any info. Is it possible to use application helper methods in ActionMailer templates (or methods, in case this is the only way)? All I found is one statement in the agile web development book, that ''the regular helper methods, such as truncate(), are available''. Is there any overview which helpers are

Why is it that when rescue_action is called with any exception except for RoutingError, "self" refers to a controller within my application, but when there''s a RoutingError, "self" refers to an object of ActionController::Base? This makes some sense because a "RoutingError" implies that no controller was found to process the request. However, I am trying to

Looking for some help with extending existing classes. In a view I have <td><%=h bmevent.node %></td>. I need further processing on the output and added a helper: module ApplicationHelper class String def a self[ /^[^\0]*/ ] end end end and <td><%=h bmevent.node.a %></td> results in an undefined method `a'' for #<String:0xb6c8105c>

Hi all, I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers. One of the helpers in app/helpers/application_helper.rb looks like this: def page_name @page_name || "Define @page_name in #{controller.controller_name}::#{controller.action_name}" end The rspec is simply: it "should something" do page_name end

I''ve read the wiki and Agile and can''t find the answer. When using script/runner I''ve gotten simple model functions similar to the -help example to run: $script/runner ''puts Vendor.find(1).name3'' where Vendor is a model. However when I try to run a function in a controller it doesn''t work: $script/runner ''puts

Hi, I''m having an issue with calling a function that I''ve defined in ApplicationHelper called format_time: module ApplicationHelper def format_time(time) time.strftime("%a %b %d, %I:%M%p") end end I use this function in my views to format the Time.now that I would have stored in my tables as a DATETIME. I''m able to use this function, without any
