...;, :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 that documented anywhere? That''s not my question. My question is - if I replace this with render_component_as_string, then try to render the string, I get an error: renderstring = render_component_as_string :controller => target_controller, :action => "show", :id => target_id render :inline => renderstring throws a undefined method error for render_component_as_string. Is this method not a...

...def info @category = Category.find(params[:id]) end end The "tricky" line needs to use config/routes.rb to parse the url and create the params hash if a ''?'' is in the url. The info action must execute with the same session. I''m sure I could somehow use render_component_as_string; however, I don''t know how to access config/routes.rb to parse the url string to prepare the arguments for render_component_as_string. Any ideas? I''ve been struggling with this on and off for a couple months and have asked here in a variety of forms. Any help greatly appreciated...

...ly after the expire_cache call from the Sweeper class. However I could not find a way to do that successfully. I''ve tried several ways, including instantiating the controller in the sweeper and calling the actions directly (which doesn''t work), and the closest I got was using render_component_as_string from the base ApplicationController. That sort-of works in that it at least it calls the proper XmlController action, but it has two problems: the pages aren''t cached, and also the response type changes to xml (which confuses the browser since the response is a redirect). I wonder if a...

hey, i''ve created a basic content management system using rails and scriptaculous. I posted a first version last week, but I heavily extended it since then.

I see in the new Agile Rails 2nd edition that components are going out of style? Is this so? has anybody abandoned the idea of components for helpers? Specifically I''m considering a menu sytem for a website that depends heavily on the users permissions to decide which menu options a user would need to see. I thought that components, since they have the logic in the controller and

Note that one of the 8 patches (#6) will be sent separately in reply to this email, as some of the replaced lines are too long, so git won't let me send the email. However, there is nothing wrong with that patch, and it should be applied in the sequence listed below. Note also that I assume this will be tested on a clean f11 install, rather than an upgrade of an existing ovirt server
