similar to: Rest, Roles, Layouts

I am working on a reasonably large application (which happens to be my first with rails). I was hoping to get some input on organisation of controllers and actions. I am finding having used scaffolding more at the beginning my controllers tend to be very model centric, in that they mostly contain all the actions for management of that particular model, which may crash across multiple use

Hi all, I''ve been using RJS more and more for my app and I have sorta run into a possible issue. My app has different user roles that require different layouts. So far, this has worked fine, but now that I''m using rjs more and more I''m finding that the two don''t really work together since I have to rails not to use a layout upon controller method

Hi all, I''m playing around with Dave Thomas'' depot project, trying to add site search, starting with code from the search_generator gem. I got basic search working. Now I''m trying to understand how to integrate the search result pages more fully into the overall application and I''m having architectural "issues". search_generator creates its own

I am trying to set the layout for certain actions within a controller, but not others, but doing class JoinController < ApplicationController layout ''form'' def index end def add end end sets layouts for all actions, and doing class JoinController < ApplicationController def index layout ''form'' end def add end end returns an

I am having an issue with a controller that needs to utilize two different layouts, depending on the action. The entire app makes use of the application layout, so I added this to my controller to use for all of our reports: class ReportsController < ApplicationController layout "reporter", :except => :index I was hoping that the layout would only be applied to all the

I have a small AD forest of two Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers. I would like to add a Samba 4 DC to this forest. After running into some problems with group policies, I realized that Samba 4 does not currently implement file replication. I would like to have the Samba 4 domain controller replicate user/computer schema with the Windows machines, but I would like for DNS and group policy

Hello, I want to seperate my admin and public views but only use one controller. How to seperate layouts ist clear but how can I tell the controller to render the *.rhtml files in views/admin/ when logged in or render the *.rhtml files in views/public/ (for example). Thanks for any help! PS: using REST and CRUD in edge rails --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received

Hi all- I've been polishing my Samba4 AD set-up as we get close to deploying it the office. However, one thing that I'm having issues with is FSMO roles and DCs. The gist of the situation is that I can not demote the original DC. Both DCs are implemented with Samba4, running the same version (4.0.3) and have replication working* Here is a summary of everything I've noticed: ?

Two questions for you all... 1. I have an admin section to a site I''m building. Here''s the pertinent bit of the layout that all controllers are using: <div id="main-content"> <%= @content_for_layout %> </div> <div id="sidebar"> </div> I''m using @content_for_layout to display various controller actions such as new,

Hello, I''m currently working on a text-based roleplay browser game, and i''m trying to figure out what the best approach would be in order to create a system that allows me to assign roles to a user, and permissions based upon the role a user has. I''ve been thinking about creating a model User, which has_many :roles, and with the Role model which has_many :permissions.

How do I do multiple layouts for a single controller: I am aware I can do... render(:layout =>''mylayout'') for individual actions, however this becomes a multiple render problem. I tried this... layout "mylayout", :except => [:myaction, :myotheraction] layout "myotherlayout", :only => [:myaction, :myotheraction] However that doesn''t

Hey Campers, Here''s a little technique you can use to support multiple layouts within a Camping app. def layout @layout ||= ''default'' send("#{@layout}_layout") { yield } end The minimum you have to do after this is define a *default_layout*, but (as you can hopefully see) you may define any number of arbitrary layouts to wrap your content in. Just set

hi! how can i put different layouts for the actions in the same controller? i was putting the layout always at the beginning of the controller, and i tought, if i put a layout in an action, it would be work, but nop. i mean: UserAdminController < ApplicationController layout ''admin'' ... def edit layout ''edit_2'' ... end end how can i resolve my

I am currently using 2 layouts in my site. One is for the admin area. I am trying to get content in my sidebar to change depending upon the current controller. Example: Within admin I have a users controller and a articles controller. When in the users view I want the sidebar to display options (like add user delete user etc). What is the best actionview way to do this. I don''t

Let''s say I wanted to find 3 products from my database and put them in the layouts/application.rhtml view. Where do I find these 3 products? Do I just do it in application.rhtml? <% for product in Product.find(:all, :limit => 3) %> Because I was under the impression that you really don''t want to do this in your views. You should do this in your controllers and

Good evening all.... My first Rails project is flourishing, thanks in no small part to good advice I received from members of this mailing list (thanks!). However, I''ve run into an interesting spot on which I''d really appreciate your advice. My app''s main controller currently has about a dozen views, presenting various information about the models. This

We''ve got an app dealing with a lot of heavy disk i/o (>1GB uploads, lots of processing, etc.). Most of the app runs great on a few frontend servers in a xen environment but disk i/o is always a bottleneck, so we''re offloading all the heavy stuff to a physical asset server. The asset server would of course serve static files (per the environment option already in Rails), but

Hi, Something has been bothering me for a long time and I''d like to know what other think about this common situation with Rails. Someone is looking at http://example.com/user/new where there is a form that POSTs the data to the user/create action. The controller might look like def new @user = User.new end def create @user = User.new(params[:entry]) if @user.save

So I''ve recently started playing with the restful routes support in edge rails, converting a few of my controllers to support all the standard operations.. One thing that''s been bothering me, however, is the following: Before using restul routes, I would define an edit method in my controller which would be responsible for both creating new objects as well as editing

Been thinking about something lately and wanted to hear what others thought. After watching the video[1] of DHH with the slides[2] I really liked some of the ideas presented. Many people have noted the ugliness of needing secondary actions since HTTP actions do not cover the full range of CRUDness (i.e. the "GET /people;new" and "GET /people/1;edit"). Also the need for
