What is the best way to override some of the FormHelper default options? Right now I''m adding this to the beginning of my environment.rb: ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag::DEFAULT_TEXT_AREA_OPTIONS = { "cols" => 80, "rows" => 5 } Is that the way it''s supposed to be done? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message

I''m trying to read through the code, hoping to find a way to custom style select boxes for a date_select and can''t figure out this code. Any help appreciated: <code> def to_date_tag() defaults = DEFAULT_DATE_OPTIONS.dup date = value(object) || Date.today options = Proc.new { |position| defaults.merge(:prefix =>

In Ruby you can add and modify existing classes at will simply by reopening it. The 4 files you mention add functionalities to the InstanceTag class. This is not a redefinition. The best part is that you can do the same ! An easy way to overwrite an existing method or to add new ones is to create a file under you rails application lib directory and put in it the replacement you want to make:

I would like to see the output of actionview helper methods, to be able to play with it. When I do the following in the console: collection_select("job", "client_id" , @clients, "id", "name") I get: NoMethodError: undefined method `collection_select'' for #<Object:0xb7cf1970> I''d like to get something like: <select

Hi all, I write the following test to a simple plugin require ''rubygems'' require ''test/unit'' require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../lib/meta_tags'' require ''action_view/helpers/tag_helper'' class MetaTagsTest < Test::Unit::TestCase include MetaTagHelper include ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper .

Hi all, Please forgive me for this newbie question. But I really want to know how how to access ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptHelper::escape_javascript method in a model. I can access this method in view, but when call it in the model, it ends up with undefined method. It seems to me they are in different scope. So what''s the best way to access view helper methods in model. --

Hi, Is it possible to use the ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper.text_field with an instance variable instead of a model. e.g. In the controller: def meth @value = ''hi there'' end In view: <%= text_field ''value'', nil %> It doesn''t work with what is above (doesn''t like the nil) and produces very strange results replacing nil with

How do you do the equivalent of: module MyLibrary include ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper end ...in Rails 3? I''m trying to upgrade my app from 2.3.9 to 3.0.1 and I have some stuff in /lib that needs to include these helpers from ActionView. It works fine in 2.3.x, but in 3.x it''s giving me the error: undefined local variable or method `config'' One of the

Hi David, all: I recently upgraded to Rails 2.3.1RC2 (Ubuntu 8.10, ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux]) and have been dilligently following the instructions for upgrading rspec and rspec-rails according to: http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/rails-with-rspec-gems. and when I run ''rake gem'' fails with error: rake aborted! undefined method

Hey All, I''m attempting to upgrade my app from rails 2.0.2 to 2.3.3. One bit that''s failing is this call here (in /views/projects/show.html.erb) <%= markdown(@project.description) %> That earns me a: uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper::Markdown On that line. I''m on a rebuilt machine (windows xp, ruby 1.8.6) so I thought it was a

We are using time_zone_options_for_select for the letting the user to select the timezone to assign to an object. But we are having trouble because currently we are on DST period, so in utc -5 but the list is showing utc-6 (the normal offset) As per usage suggested in this issue: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/7297. I wrote a custom method to solve this temporarily:

Hello, First sentence of sanitize() method doc says: "This sanitize helper will html encode all tags and strip all attributes that aren''t specifically allowed." But sanitize("<h1>foo</h1> <bar>should html encode</bar>") == "<h1>foo</h1> should html encode". Shouldn''t it html encode <bar> to

Hi, I''m just starting with Rails and i''m trying to do something like this: <%= start_form_tag :action => ''add_user'', :id => @social_event_group %> <%= select ''user'', ''id'' , User.find_all.collect {|u| [ u.login, u.id ] }%></p> <%= submit_tag "Add User" %> <%= end_form_tag %>

Hi ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper methods (e.g. #text_field, #check_box...) take object_name as an argument. From this argument they infer a name that is supposed to contains the reference to the relevant object. I can''t see why the FormHelper methods were designed that way. Compared to simply passing them a reference, the current way seems too complicated and an invitation to problems

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3775 I''m hoping someone will pop up and tell me I''m simply daft with this ticket (and queries on IRC, and a prior post to the main Rails list), but I can''t get a peep out of anyone so far. The question is, how do I write a simple test for a helper method which calls ActionView methods itself. E.g., a foo_link() helper which calls

Hi All, I just wiped out my hard drive, did a fresh install of os x 10.5, and upgraded to rails 2.3.2. i installed the mysql pkg for os x, and created the databases i needed for the project i was working on before the upgrade.

I am a new to ruby and rails and am trying to refactor some code with rspec and have run into a problem that has stumped me for a few days and I have searched google and ruby/rails forums to no avail so I really hope somebody can help me out with this problem which I think may be caused by a rails config problem. Anyway, I used ''rails new myapp'' to make a new rails project and

Hi, I''ve been prying my way around form helpers and I need to do something very similar to date_select. I was thinking I might be able tailor it to suit my purposes and then came upon InstanceTag.new with a call to_date_select_tag at the end. I can''t find any mention of these anywhere else - can anyone give me any pointers as to what these two things do? thanks dorian -- I do

In Rails 1.2, the interface to InstanceTag#value and #value_before_type_cast changed, and looking through the svn and Trac history, I can''t see why. It appears that every call to #value now passes the same argument (the result of the #object method), which just duplicates what the function did before it took an argument. The reason I bring this up is that the change breaks some of our
