similar to: RedirectBackError

Just a question and an FYI I just installed rails and acts_as_authenticated and was setting up a site. Everything works fine except that in the AccountController that I generated the calls to the routine redirect_back_or_default don''t work because the call just before it to reset_session clears the session[:return_to] that the method uses to set where it will redirect. I ended up adding

Hello I have a rails 3 app and I am trying to implement the redirect back action at access denied for cancan. If I try this in my application_controller: rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception| redirect_to :back end It gives the following error: No HTTP_REFERER was set in the request to this action, so redirect_to :back could not be called successfully. If this is a test, make sure

Hi all: I can''t make redirect_to to unlock the current iframe using {:TARGET => "_top"}. It always stays in the current frame.

Is there a way to make xhr- like redirect (which allow to get to another controller+action)? Thanks, - Chuong

Hi. I would like to set @request.env["HTTP_REFERER"] in an integration test, but due to its nature, I would naturally set this value to the previousle request url. How do I do that. Thanks. Jarl

I''m glad I found your post Joshua - it saved me quite a bit of time! To get this to work for me however (IE6), I had to ditch the ||= and do straight assignment: request.format = :html if request.env[''HTTP_USER_AGENT''] =~ /msie/i Joshua Doss wrote: > > > Alter access_denied to add this line (right below "def access_denied"): > >

how does request.host get set? Is there a way to manually set the value in request.host? I have several application servers running rails, each has its own internal address in the request.host, so when calling redirect_to or url_for function, it uses the internal address which is not accessible to the user. what I want is to set request.host to return mysite.com, no matter which application

Hi I''ve got a straightforward piece of code in my controller which will consistently produce a SystemStackError. @newmessage = @message.reply(params[:newmessage]) return unless request.post? if @newmessage.save flash[:notice] = "Message Sent" redirect_to :index end The error is occuring on the redirect_to line, if I comment that line out then everything behaves as it

Hi James, > Isn't this from the query template, ie from the main web page of search > results? (It might make sense from opensearch as well, though.) Yes, you are right; it is the query template. The reason I said opensearch template is that I haven't quite read all sections of the Omega docs and I'm still in the process. Thanks for pointing that out. I'm aiming to cover

Hi, I''m just learning Ruby and Rails. I have developed a Rails application, but not using the creation scripts that come with the rails distribution. Consequently, no test scaffolding is available to me, and I''m trying to write my functional tests from scratch.
