Hi, Is there a way to call a controller/action pair from another controller as well as render the view for that pair? I have tried using "render ''ctrl/action''" and that works, but the controller code isn''t called (only the view is rendered). A redirect_to isn''t desirable either as I want the resulting content to be rendered in the current

I was wondering if rails had any means of restricting access to an action in a controller (like they can''t type in url.com/cont/action, that would throw an error). The thing is I would like to be able to access this method/action through a call to render_component, so therefore, I don''t think private methods will work. So basically I am looking for something that cannot be directly accessed by the browser, but can be accessed through render_component. Thank you for all of your help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Maybe I''m missing the point? Lets take for example albums of pictures. If I have a scaffold for each, and I''m showing an album, what if I want to list all of the pictures that are in the album? Surely, I''d want to call the List action in the picture controller. render_component would do this perfectly. But we''re told not to use render_component. So instead, I''ll have to put picture list as a partial... that means I''ll have to do the sql find for the @pictures in the Album controller...? -Ben Lisbakken -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum....

I''m calling render_component in a helper. render_component :controller => target_controller, :action => "show", :id => target_id This works fine, except that passing the id in :params didn''t work and I had to pass in an explicit :id parameter to get the target controller to override the id - is t...

Using Rails 1.1.2 and ruby 1.8.4 I''m having a weird issue with the flash when using render_component for an action inside different controller than the one from which you render. I''m passing an object via flash across a couple of actions (new and create) behind the scenes using flash.keep(:object). It works fine if the component I''m rendering is in the same controller from wh...

Hi All, Silly newb question. Is there a reason why :layout is unimplemented in render_component() ? I''m looking at a situation where that would *seem* to be the right answer. Are there any patches available to add this? JK

Hi All, Anyone know if there is a way to detect whether a request came from a render_component call? There isn''t anything obvious from looking at the source, but it would be useful as I have set up a logging filter in my application.rb, and I''d prefer to exclude all component renders, since they just add extra lines to my log (I guess I could exclude identical rows at the d...

Hi I''m working on a program which relies on heavy cache sweeper usage. I''ve just bumped onto an odd problem.

...controllers. In this layout I want to list the next 5 events that are upcoming based on todays date. These events are currently stored in the Event model (created using scaffolding). Currently only the Events controller accesses the Event model. Currently the layout uses the following <%= render_component(:controller => ''events'', :action => ''upcoming'') %> Which is an action that retrieves the next 5 events and renders a partial to put them in list format. The only option I can see is move the retrieval code into the model then have something along the...
