similar to: Proposed API change for respond_to

All, I see this item on the merb-0.0.8 release notes Added rails session parasite mode. I am assuming merbs can piggy back off the rails current session. How does one achieve that ?

Trunk Issue: Because of the use of ''autoload'', template handlers other than Erubis are not loaded automatically (Haml, XMLBuilder). Either this should be fixed, or the documentation should be updated to instruct people how to use non-Erb template engines. Apparently the solution is to do something like this in merb_init.rb: ::Merb::AbstractController.register_engine

hi all, I want to move some routing tasks out of the router and into the controller. The goal is to make Merb feel less like mod_rewrite and give the user more control at the controller. The new Router is simple: it takes the path_info (not the whole request) then outputs a controller class and some parameters from the path matching. The rest of the routing would be done at the controller level.

I''ll probably do my respond_to API rewrite, as discussed here: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/merb-devel/2007-September/000275.html sometime this week, unless someone has come up with a better API. I''ll also work in http://merb.devjavu.com/ticket/227 at the same time. Any serious objections?

Is there a method to return a hash of the route configuration based on a path? For example: magic_method(''/my_controller/my_action/my_id'') => {:controller => ''my_controller'', :action => ''my_action'', :id => ''my_id''} Thanks!

All, I have just updated to the latest release of merb 0.4 and I am wondering how I can get my controller changes to reload without bouncing the server ? I am running in dev mode but my changes to my merb controller don''t seem to get picked up on new requests. Also say I have a controller that needs to render an alternate xml format ie something like:

I had redirects working just the other day... before I upgraded to the latest release. Can somebody please chime in as to why this simple redirect is throwing an error? Controller: ----------------------- def do redirect "http://www.ebay.com" end Error Output: ------------------------- Internal server error 500 uninitialized constant Merb::ControllerMixin::MovedTemporarily in

I found a reference to using attachment_fu and followed the lead of it but having an issue with the redirect_to that renders the fb:render tag - In my form I''m setting the canvas to false, file is being uploaded / save fine but when I attempt to redirect: redirect_to :action => :new, :canvas => true Unfortunatly it looks like my callback URL is getting printed twice, e.g.

I like the cookie sessions that Rails edge has - they make sense, they''re fast, easy. For those that don''t know: the default session mechanism is to give developers a Hash called session. To store this object between requests it Marshals the session object and sends the object itself (now as a bitstream) back to clients to store in their cookie file. To prevent users from

I have a magical proposal for the anti-magic web framework. Controller methods do not use arguments and yet expect arguments. This is handled through this params hash because we don''t know in advance what parameters a client could pass to Merb. But in almost every instance, it is too much to know all the query parameters - one doesn''t care if the user threw in an extraneous

Since Merb has the lovely property of rendering the output of an action, using ruby-level exceptions to render error pages in Merb could be a cute way to approach error handling. Suppose one has an action for editing a product which you would like to restrict to administrators: def edit raise AdminAccessReqired unless session[:user] and session[:user].admin? @product =

I have a piece of code like this in one of my views: <%=link_to "link here", :action=>''my_action'', :id=>1 %> It works fine on my local development machine, running Webrick over http and it works fine on my testing server which is running single mongrel instance behind Apache 1.3 as a proxy. On both the outcome link is this: <a

hi, I rewrote escape, unescape, and query_parse in a C extension. http://s3.amazonaws.com/four.livejournal/20070922/http_helpers.tar.bz2 Here are some sample benchmarks (the benchmark script is included in the package) user system total real escape: Single long Mongrel: 1.680000 0.020000 1.700000 ( 1.837793) HttpHlp: 0.030000 0.010000 0.040000 ( 0.036590)

I''m just playing with a recent Merb trunk (-r590). All the specs pass, apart from 2 pending. Now, the README says: "if you return a Proc object from your action, it will be called and the return value sent to the client." However this doesn''t seem to work with the following test controller: class Hello < Application def world res = "Hello world from

Hi all, I''m trying to pass more than one parameters using link_to_remote, but I''m getting a behaviour that seems quite strange to me. Here''s the code: link_to_remote ''some text'', :update => ''form'', :method => ''get'', :url => { :action =>

It seems that Merb is sending static files with Mongrel::DirHandler. (mongrel_handler.rb:52) if get_or_head and @files.can_serve(path_info) # File exists as-is so serve it up MERB_LOGGER.info("Serving static file: #{path_info}") @files.process(request,response) I haven''t done benchmarks and I''ve hardly glanced at DirHandler''s code but the

Ok, so I am basically trying to use ''link_to_remote'' and pass the value of a javascript variable as an argument. Something like that: link_to_remote "my_link", :update => ''my_div'', :url => { :action => "my_action", :var => ''my_var'' } Basically,

Hy guys, Inside my app I have a form which contains user information. Sometimes a have a form with a text_field as above: <%= form_remote_tag(:html => { :action => url_for(:controller => "my_controller", :action => "my_action") }) %> <%= text_field(''my_object'', ''my_parameter'', :maxlength =>

I''m trying to emulate the mongrel_cluster_ctl but it takes a -c conf_file option... meaning I can run it from anywhere as long as I tell it where the conf file is. Merb doesn''t have that capability does it? (it has an additional/supplemental config like mup.conf etc) Do I have to be under the merb_app root /path/to/merb/app/ to be able to run merb? Let me know. Thanks,

Is there a trick to using control_for in forms? I''ve been trying to make a simple form with a couple of text fields and I keep getting a unknown method error. Thanks!
