similar to: url detection

In both url_for and link_to, the :only_path param can be used to determine whether the link url used is complete with hostname and path, or just has the path (a kind of relative url). However, in url_for it defaults to false (urls with hostnames), and in link_to it defaults to true ( urls without hostnames, just paths). Is there any reason for this discrepency? To me, it violates the principle

Hello, I''m sending out an e-mail message to new users of my service. I want to send a particular link in this e-mail but I can''t figure out how to get a complete URL from the url_for method. Is there a way to do this without manually setting the host name? Thank you, -- Miles --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are

Hi, how can I call the url in an actionMailer definition - so that it automatically detects what the rails application server is and puts it in the url that is mailed to the client? (I don''t want to have to change it every time the hostname is changed - I''d like the application to auto detect what the host is - whether it''s localhost:3000 or my own website... example:

I generate a lot of URL''s in my Facebook related code that point to our main site, not our FB app. My understanding was that the way to do this was to use ":canvas => false" as a parameter to url_for and link_to and so on. However, that doesn''t seem to generate the proper URL''s. The URL''s still point to apps.facebook.com (because they

I have an odd error. I have the following module: module ActionController module SslSupport def self.included(base) raise "#{base} does not define url_for" unless base.method_defined?(:url_for) unless base.respond_to?(:url_for_without_ssl_supprt) base.send :include, InstanceMethods base.send :alias_method_chain, :url_for, :ssl_support end

Hi, I was wondering how to get url_for to work inside ActionMailer. I did research on the web but I can''t seem to find something that fits what I need. In my application, each user can specify their custom domain to access their. I have an ActionMailer that sends them notifications of changes that occur. In there, I have a breadcrumbs helper method, which generages something like:

Hi, I have some named routes defined e.g. map.public and wish to use link_to_unless_current() to disable link. However, as I''ve seen from forum discussions and the API doc, the issue lies with the fact that the named_route_url() method generated by a named route does not default to only_path = true like url_for. Therefore, the current_page? within link_to_unless_current() will not

Hi, We''ve an application that uses url_for in controllers and views. In views, url_for generates a relative url (as if :only_path where used). All is fine there. However, in controllers, url_for generates a full url, with the host name. This causes problems when we have a chain of Apache proxy servers: My Browser ---> Proxy 1 ----> Proxy 2 ----> Phusion Deployment Server. In

Hello, I have discovered the good use of stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag (I''m still learning) and it is very useful because I have to use the relative_url_root way. Now I wonder how I can use that for other URLs. I want a background image for a table cell so I have to write something like: <td align=''right'' valign=''bottom''

I want to write a permalink like /year/month/day/title, code is as follows： self.permalink = "#{now.year}/#{now.month}/#{now.day}/#{title}" in the view, I use restful url post_path(@post). And in the html source code, the url is /posts/2008%2F4%2F30%2FTest You can see, the ''/'' is replaced by "%2F", which is not I expect. How not to replace the

Hi all, I''m having problems with an observe_field, this is the view: <%= form_tag %> <div id="content"> <p>Customer: <select name="cliente_id" id="cliente_id"> <option value="">Select a customer</option> <%= options_for_select Cliente.find_all.collect {|c| [c.razon_social, c.id]} %>

I''m trying to write a function that will accept a rails URL, and see if it matches one of my Rights. Rights are just controller URLs, so I can manage access at the controller level (don''t need action level). What I''m trying to do is take the url passed, and see if its access controlled. If it is, the method should stop and return true, if not it will return false. This

Hi. I swear I found this in the group archives, but now I cannot find this in the group or elsewhere online! In a view I would like to get the current controller name and action that was used to get here. For example, I have a template that I''m using from two different controllers (and four different actions in each controller), such as :controller => "my_view", :action

So I have an existing app & facebook app in same rails application, for now I have decided to go the route of creating a controller for facebook stuff (called FaceController). (setup is canvas, fbml) So I have: facebook config http://myurl:myport/face/ My controllers name is face, so I dont even need a manual route, for the landing page it works like a charm. but, when I try to make

I wonder - do we have some helper/processor/gem to automatically convert all URLs in a passed string to their canonical equivalent - i.e. with the protocol, host and such prepended based on the Rails environment. Super-duper infty for RSS feeds (I hate their requirement for canonical URLs everywhere). -- Julian ''Julik'' Tarkhanov please send all personal mail to me at
