Hi, this is my first post to the list. I''m still learning the rails framework, having done most of my previous web development in PHP. I''ve done a bit of googling for the answer to this question, but maybe I''m just lacking the right word to search for. Several parts of my site, such as sidebar components, are self-contained, modularized and re-used in several parts

Hi, I''m trying to write a sidebar menu with dynamic menus, and to do so I would like to define a list of menus to display within my sidebar component controller code and pass that list to the component display view, like so: # menu_controller.rb class Sidebar::MenuController < ActionController::Base uses_component_template_root @menus = %w{admin user help} def display

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

Hi, I''m relatively new to ruby and rails. I would like to have a sidebar component call one of several other constituent components. I''ve run into some problems, and so I''ve pruned things back to a relatively simple case. I have a sidebar component. Renders great. In it''s layout, I call render_component for another component I would like in the sidebar.

Much appreciate any help here. I''m just getting started learning RoR and setting up my first form is throwing me - I''m not getting the concepts formalized in my mind. Situation: - Controller is: Donation - Action is: donation_entry - Template is: donation_entry.rhtml This form will be displayed when selected from sidebar menu (which will always be present for all

I''m working on a simple photo gallery app for personal use and I want to generalize the sidebar such that in any page (controller or view, I''m not sure which) I can dynamically add either 1. links to a given sidebar 2. or an entire sidebar. I know that typo does this, and I''ve looked the code. I think it''s too complex a solution for my simple site.

I''m stumped on what seems like should be a fairly easy thing, so I hope someone can point out my error. I wanted to show a few things on every page, so I added an application level template in "layouts". I added my styles in there, and put the controller name and action name into the TITLE tag for my own reference. So far so good - works like expected. Then I wanted to

Hey, I''ve got a general question: when do I use helper and when I do use partials to modularise certain gui elements? For example: I''ve got a faq list. Each item can be folded and unfolded using ajax. FAQ foo -> question 1 -> question 2 -> question 3 So, I wrote a helper "faq_li_tag(args)" which takes the question and answer for parameters and generates the

Hi, I''ve got AAA loaded and working. I now want to put a smarter login form on the sidebar of my site. If the user is not logged in, I''d like to display a typical form in the sidebar that collects the user ID/password and allows the user to login. If the user is logged in, the box should display something like ''Logged in user: FirstName Lastname'' and a

First of all id like to say hi to everyone from Argentina, im yet another Depot first-timer. Going through the example, i got to the point where my cart finally runs Ajax-based. And there is a line where Dave says, after all the job is done "You should see the cart in the sidebar update. And you shouldn''t see your browser show any indication of reloading the page. You''ve

Hi there, I''m sure a lot of you guys have come across this question: How can we render several :partials on a page *before* the called :action has finished? Basically, my situation is this: When I click on a certain button, 3 things are supposed to happen: - INSTANTLY: the button should become disabled (either by setting ":disabled" to "true" by updating the

hi all i''m trying to pass a variable name right round the block and need a hand to ease my aching brain. ##in my sidebar i have <li><%= SidebarItem(''catalogue'') %></li> <li><%= SidebarItem(''provenance'') %></li> <li><%= SidebarItem(''status'') %></li> ##linked to a

I have a method in a controller that invokes a render :partial => ''some_partial_view'' In that view, I''m trying to access a method defined in a model, like this; <% for view in @an_array %> <% local_var = view.some_method() %> <% another_var = view.a_column_name %> etc.. I am getting an undefined method error but the model is accessible

hello, I am doing a rails project and i am new to rails, am stuck with some problems. 1) I have a div container at the left side of the page just like a sidebar which contains different links. And the right side of the page is meant to display the content, which is also a div container . When i click any of the links in the sidebar respective pages must be displayed in the right

Okay, I see this instance variable places, but I can not determine if it is real or where the content comes from. I''ve tried views/<controller>/sidebar.rhtml, _sidebar.rhtml, views/layouts/sidebar.rhtml and views/layouts/_sidebar.rhtml. Does this actually exist? What''s the Rails Way to make a good sidebar? http://www.google.com/search?q=content_for_sidebar Thanks,

I''m rendering a partial using a collection: <%=render(:partial=> ''record'', :collection => @records)%> Inside the partial, I''m attempting to create a new form for each row, generating elements like the following example: <%= text_field "record", "name" %> However, though my objects are fully populated, these form tags

Maybe I''m missing the point? Lets take for example albums of pictures. If I have a scaffold for each, and I''m showing an album, what if I want to list all of the pictures that are in the album? Surely, I''d want to call the List action in the picture controller. render_component would do this perfectly. But we''re told not to use render_component. So

Instant Rails is at 1.2 and I have installed Typo SVN Revsion 1000. The sidebar changes stall with the spinner running even after the *publish* button is clicked. The changes, themselves, do appear in the actual blog. When the *Sort Alphabetically* is clicked under categories an error occurrred. I changed the code as follows:
