similar to: ApplicationHelper is not a parent of SomeHelper?

I have a controller named xyzController under app/controllers I have a helper class named xyzHelper under app/helpers. Shouldn''t I be able to call methods from xyzHelper inside of xyzController without any problems? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I''m trying to do multiple render_to_string() calls in a method call, and I''m getting attributes being modified in unexpected ways. @left_sidebar = render_to_string( :partial ..... ) puts @left_sidebar.id (-> 123456) @right_sidebar = render_to_string( :partial .....) puts @left_sidebar.id (-> 234567 WTF!?!?!) puts @right_sidebar.id (-> 345678)

I am confused about the @content_for_layout.''cause it will display all the views in the layout.Do I have any methods to let the layout be more OO? I mean that for example,the app currently have more than one views to be displayed,but only some of them to be displayed at the same time at different <div></div> units. I hope there exists a kind of way that: <%= if

Hi, Is there a way to use the have_tag matcher on a string instead of the response body from a view? I have a helper in a method rails project that returns an html fragment which I would like to test. Like this: module SomeHelper def some_helper_method "<p>foo</p>" end end context "The SomeHelper" helper_name :some specify do

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn''t find any info. Is it possible to use application helper methods in ActionMailer templates (or methods, in case this is the only way)? All I found is one statement in the agile web development book, that ''the regular helper methods, such as truncate(), are available''. Is there any overview which helpers are

I am a little confused by the includes I suspect. In the book, it states that runtime environment will load the directories app, app/models, app/controllers, app/helpers, app/apis, components, config, lib, vendor and vendor/rails/*. However, when I try to access my "current_project" public method, it fails with a NoMethodError. What is even stranger is that I can use reflection to find

Why is it that when rescue_action is called with any exception except for RoutingError, "self" refers to a controller within my application, but when there''s a RoutingError, "self" refers to an object of ActionController::Base? This makes some sense because a "RoutingError" implies that no controller was found to process the request. However, I am trying to

Hello. I just started getting this error but can''t figure out what I did in the past day that might be causing this: "A copy of ApplicationHelper has been removed from the module tree but is still active!" Apparently, there are others that have seen this -- gathering from a google search -- but I can''t find any solution. Has anyone seen this? Here is what

What wrong? environment.rb require "will_paginate" application_helper.rb include WillPaginate::ViewHelpers def will_paginate_with_i18n(collection, options = {}) will_paginate_without_i18n(collection, options.merge(:previous_label => I18n.t(:previous), :next_label => I18n.t(:next))) end alias_method_chain :will_paginate, :i18n

Hello, I''m using Ruby 1.8.4 (darwinport), rails-1.0.0 (gem) , Powerbook / Mac OS X 10.4.5 , Webrick. How come Rails always raises NoMethodError for my helper (must_fill and rp or number_to_currency_rp) in application_helper.rb ? I doubt that alias_method is the culprit, but if i give # comment then there will be no errors at all ... :/ what am i doing wrong? is it a bug or stupid me? Thx

hello, I want to make a table within a form by making a new form_tag. The following code in ApplicationHelper fails: def tabular_form_for(name, object = nil, options = nil, &proc) concat("<table>", proc.binding) form_for(name, object, (options||{}).merge(:builder => TabularFormBuilder), &proc) concat("</table>",

When working with views, I use instance methods of ApplicationHelper: # app/helpers/application_helper.rb: module ApplicationHelper def distribute(total, min, cutof, list) [1,2,3] end end # app/views/planner/_mta_colors.rhtml: <td> <% ... dist = distribute(total_v_px, 4, 0, colors.collect{|color| color[1]}) ... %> So to test the distribute method in ApplicationHelper, I have

Folks, I seem to be missing something basic here. I am trying to call a function from my application layout that will return me a hash of the roles for the user currently signed in. Here is the simplified code I have in ApplicationHelper module class Array def to_h Hash[*enum_with_index.to_a.flatten] end end def get_cur_user_roles ["school_admin",

Can anyone (David?) shed some light on what exactly this warning is complaining about? I started seeing it when I upgraded to Rails 2.1 RC1 and the latest RSpec from git. I''m getting it in some helper specs that I''m writing. And yes, I am including a module there, to reuse some utility methods I originally wrote for my controller tests (I''m switching to specs

I''ve finally gotten to the point where I want to write my own helper function to call from my views. I used the script/generate to create my Controller so I also got the helper file. I defined the method I wanted to use in the helper rb file, but when I try to call them from the view I get a NoMethodError raised. Is there anything else I have to do besides creating the method in the

Hi, I''m able to upload files onto my webserver filesystem but I had a question regarding how I''d go about accessing them using the <img src="..." > tag. If my files, i.e pictures, are being uploaded to public/images/<dir>/filename.jpg, then should I store the entire path, or just the picture name in my database table? I would imagine storing just the

Hi, I have an array with objects and I want to generate an XML like: <objects> <object> <category_id>1</category_id> <helper-method>result 1</helper-method> </object> <object> <category_id>2</category_id> <helper-method>result 2</helper-method> </object> </objects> The helper
