I''ve got a question about how variables are made available to templates. We have a test that looks something like this: def test_variable_assigned xhr :get, :do_stuff, :id => 1 assert_not_nil assigns(:thing) end And our app code looks like this: class SuperClass < ActionController def do_stuff @parent_model = ParentModel.find(params[:id]) render :template

I was looking at my controller code and the edit/create/update/new for each are practically identical. So first I DRY''d the four methods in each controller to just one and then I decided to write a single macro for all my controllers. This is the macro: def self.edit_action_for(model, options = {}) model_class = Object.const_get(model) define_method(:edit) do

Please help, I am really at a loss at how validation is supposed to work in rails.

I would like to pass the current value of that text_field_tag to a periodically_call_remote - something like periodically_call_remote( :url => { :action => :do_it, :thetextval => :mytextfield.value } ) - Any idea how can I pass and/or access the value of the text_field_tag in my do_it controller?

I attached a rails helper implementation of the fb_table described here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Styles I included testing and comments. I hope you find it useful.

Is it possible to have more than one kind of view for a specific action, for example an .rhtml and a .rjs file to handle the view for the same action? I suspect not, but this makes me wonder if there a way to call the .rjs file from within the .rhtml so the statements within it get executed? Thanks, Andy

Is there a way to add onsubmit functionality to a form_remote_tag with an additional javascript directive? eg I''d like for an inline javascript to make the form''s div container hidden as soon as the button is pressed to avoid having it possibly get pressed again ( sometimes the rails response is slow enough for a user to think they need to re-press it ). example: <div

Hi there, I have this model called InventoryItem. Every time an InventoryItem is created (through the CharactersController and the create_item action) I need to update others tables and make lookups in other tables, to check if the Character has the prerequisites to actually create the InventoryItem. My problem is that I cannot seem to find a good place to put this logic. I''ve tried to

If I create a controller, and put only one line in it def do_it render :text => "Hello" end in it, then rails doesn''t display the view do_it.rhtml. I''m looking for the general rule behind this behavior (including any details that I may not be aware of). Where is such behavior documented?
