similar to: Partials vs. Helpers

MainController implies main.rhtml, which will automatically have access to the methods inside MainHelper (in \app\helpers\main_helper.rb). Should not the partial templates called from main.rhtml via <%= render :partial => ''partial'' %> also have access to the methods in main_helper ? I have tried <% display_dates = create_display_dates(@events) %> and <%

Hello, Is anyone out there rendering partials successfully in ActionMailer templates? I am having trouble with this, and wasn''t sure if it was my configuration or something with a version of Rails I''m running. We''ve got over 15 mailer templates, all working like a charm. But we have a piece of shared code, that we''d really like to not have to copy &

Hello, My main application layout, app/views/layout/application.rhtml looks like this: something render partial_1 something else render partial_2 something else render partial_3 The partials are not really doing anything, i use them to keep the layout modular (i.e . to have ~30 lines instead of 200). Now, the question is where to put _partial_1.rhtml, _partial_2.rhtml, _partial_3.rhtml. If i am

Hello, It''s pretty hard giving a practical example on this one. I have a partial which contains some generated Javascript. Something like: order_screen.rhtml ------------------------------------------- <h1>Order</h1> <div id="order_part"> <%=render :partial=>''order_new'' %> </div> <h1>Ordered products</h1>

Right now I have partials in a view folder corresponding with my controller. ie: controller: example, view: example/_partial.rhtml and I call it with render :partial => ''partial'' How do I add the partial to another folder and call it? ie: controller: example, view: example/new_folder/_partial.rhtml render :partial => ''new_folder/partial'' # does NOT work

Let''s say I have a "main" controller/view and a "sub" controller/view. If I have defined a partial in "main" for the site header (_site_header.rhtml) can I share it with "sub" or does "sub" have to duplicate it, use a symbolic link to the file, or convert the cool partial into an ugly helper? It would be nice to have a shared placed

I have class called: class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base Then in my view for that class I have an rhtml file that holds the html for the email. I am trying to do <%= render :partial => "header" %> and I''m getting: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `controller_path'' for Notifier:Class) on line #1 of

Since i can''t figure out how to use heredocs with erb. im looking at solving my problem with partials, but since partials seem to have a completely separate namespace/scope im looking for a way to pass the entire scope of the calling rhtml to the partial. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hunter Peress

All, Trying to clear up some confusion on my part. If I make an Ajax call using Ajax.Request and in the controller method that I call, I do a render (:partial => ''whatever.rhtml''), should I expect that ''whatever.rhtml'' will be rendered in the browser or not? Put another way, is it in any way reasonable for me to think that Ajax.Request + partial render

This only works when the partial name matches the object name; if I change "threadtop" to "thread" then it works fine. Is this normal? I get the following error otherwise: "undefined local variable or method `thread''" index.rhtml --- <% for @thread in @threads %> <%= render :partial => ''threadtop'', :object => @thread

Newbie question: From a _form.rhtml file I have: <%= render(:partial => ''item'', :collection => @items) %> In _item.rhtml I have: <% @tullt = h(item.body) %> <%= @itemdb = Group.find(:all, :conditions => "id = ''#{@tullt}''").map {|u| [u.name] } %> <%= @tullt % I think it would be better to

Hi, Just wondering: when do people use a helper and when a partial? I''ve just converted a bunch of partials into helpers because I didn''t like the syntax of partials where I can had to pass in a :locals hash every time. I wonder what advantages a partial has over a helper and vice versa. I guess a partial has easier access to the controller and various assigned variables,

I''m trying to write a partial for a link_to_remote that i''m using over and over again, but simply moving the code to a partial doesn''t seem to work. Here is how I have it set up: class_planner.rhtml: <% for course in @courses %> <%= render :partial => "class_list" %> <% end %> _class_list.rhtml: <li> <%= link_to_remote

I''m trying to figure out how multiple partials in one page would be configured when they are based on some action in the controller. As an example - I have a main/welcome page. If someone new or a user not logged in arrives at this page I display both a registration form and a login form. However, if they are logged in then those forms should not show up on that page. Also should

ok i''m having problems moving a piece of code into a partial I have a line in a view: <%= image_tag( createturing ) %> moving to a partial _createturing.rhtml and changing the view to: <div id="turing"><%= render(:partial => "createturing") %></div> gives errors: ActionView::TemplateError (can''t convert nil into String) on

I have a RHTML template and I would like the output of a RXML partial to be embedded within it. When I do <%= render(:partial => ''list_edit'') %> where there exists a _list_edit.rmxl file, I get XML parsing errors in the browser - I believe because the partial is causing the rendered content to be identified as XML instead of HTML. Is there any way to

Hi, Is there any reason why helpers cannot render partials? I would like to do something like this in the layout: <body> <%= magic_header %> <%= yield %> </body> and then have a magic_header helper def magic_helper ...do some magic... render partial: "magic_helper" end Why is this wrong?

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

Hi, I''m developing an application that uses a layout called main on every page. Most of the individual pages are represented with a single partial template, but there are several pages that are composed of multiple partials. My main layout looks something like this: Code: <html> <head> <title><%= @title %></title> <%= stylesheet_link_tag

Hi, I am having the following issue with a partial. During initial page load, I am doing a "render_partial_collect ''foo'', @foos", and all goes well. Each foo partial makes use of a variable inside called ''foo'' (and can get foo.id etc). After all the partials are loaded, I need to :update a div corresponding to one of the partials (ie re-load the
