similar to: render :update and controller private methods

Hello, I''m trying to get a select field to update a view via the ''onchange'' option. I''ve seen examples of it here in the forum where people hardcode the forms and use javascript to trigger the change (and nearly all have complained that it''s a hack) and I''m wondering if anyone has a more elegant solution using the embedded ruby methods?

Hi All, I want to refresh a partial onClick, onClick i am making ajax call and getting the data but i am unable to refresh the partial. here is the code IN views: home.html.erb $(document).ready(function() { var currentCellText; $(".inline").click(function() { currentCellText = $(this).text(); $.ajax({ type: ''GET'', dataType: "json",

I''m trying to use rspec to test a controller that has ajax. I have the following action: def change_ad_type_form render :update do |page| page.replace_html ''ad_sub_form'', :partial => ''text'' end end and the following spec: specify "should return Text subform on AJAX request to change_ad_type_form" do

Hey all, I''d like to abstract the process of updating different portions of the page after an Ajax request has taken place. Rather than simply putting the extra view logic in the standard rjs template, it seems to give better separation if there is a split between the core view logic (ie, inserting a row in a table), and updating any associated portions of the page. Is this possible? I

Can I set an application wide instance variable that is available for all actions...and their views? eg. class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base @current_user = User.find(session[:user_id]) end and everywhere I can call @current_user.id and I can get that object? Even down in the views? I could not get this to work... Thanks in advance, Jeff -------------- next part

Hi, I have a rails application where I respond to a request by fetching image urls from various web api calls and need to display them as they come available. I am able to display all the images once I get them all, but that causes an unacceptable delay for my user. One approach I am trying is, from my controller, set an @image variable, and then pass in a block to the model that retrieves the

I''ve been trying for days now to figure this out on my own, but I can''t, so this is my cry for help. Here''s my situation: I need to update multiple <DIV> elements on a page, each with its own HTML, but I just can''t figure out how to get it to work. That is, I want to replace everything within each <DIV> element with something new. When I try what

I''m trying to use a different layout for just one action in my controller, all the other actions use the application.rhtml layout, so what i''m doing is ... class SomeController < ApplicationController layout "simple", :only=> :some_action ...... end and the "simple" layout is applied to all the actions, can someone please give me a hint?

I have this in my routes.rb: ... map.connect ":action/:id", :controller => "default_controller" .. It worked nicely, until I added a second controller to my project. The new (second) controller is "Admin". The problem is I cant reach the actions in the second controller. http://mysite.com/some_action is routed to some_action in default_controller. That is

I want to create an internal admin view to display the output of "show variables" from mysql. What''s the best approach do this? For example, I''m doing something like this: @variables = ActiveRecord::Base.find_by_sql "show variables;" Then, I get stuff like this back (227 elements in @variables) in script/console: >> @variables[0] =>

Hi all, I am using rails v.2.3.2 and if I put following line to my ApplicationController: include LoginSystem and I moved my login_system.rb to lib folder: module LoginSystem protected def is_logged_in? @logged_in_user = User.find(session[:user]) if session[:user] end def logged_in_user return @logged_in_user if is_logged_in? end def logged_in_user=(user) if

Some days I wonder why I even bother with puppet. --- classes: - datacentre::new_york - role::appserver - elements::tfel0 environment: production: parameters: < set key/value pairs here > class ldap { < do some stuff that behaves slightly differently between different data centers > } class role::appserver { include ldap } So, I wanted to set some variables in the

Hi, I have an array with objects and I want to generate an XML like: <objects> <object> <category_id>1</category_id> <helper-method>result 1</helper-method> </object> <object> <category_id>2</category_id> <helper-method>result 2</helper-method> </object> </objects> The helper

Guys, What was the rationale behind moving to the swiss army-ish method of render(:X), as opposed to the various render_X methods that existed before? I find it easier to keep the render_X style in my brain, rather than trying to remember what the valid parameters to render() are. It''s also more code completion friendly. Just curious. Thanks, John -- Posted via

I have added roles and roles_users table and updated the model so that my users can have multiple roles. ("Admin" role does always have id = 1). I have added these methods to my application controller. <code> helper_method :is_admin? helper_method :is_user? def is_admin? if @session[''user''] @session[''user''].roles.find(1)

Hi all, Like most other frameworks, Ruby groups code by Model/View/Controller instead of by task, and therefore I''m having a hard time debugging a problem from the Agile Rails book where looping through @items errors out because one or more items is nil. I managed to empty the cart by placing session[:cart] = nil in find_cart() in the store_controller_rb, and the problem continued

Hey, am i to stupid to find the information about how to route to a controller in a module? Maybe module support has gone! The controller is under: app/controllers/admin/my_controller.rb The my_controller.rb file looks like this: module Admin class MyController def index render :text => ''Hello!'' end end end How does a route to all controllers under module

Hi: I am a rspec beginner. I have scratched my head for the whole afternoon, trying to figure out a way of writing render expectation in controller spec. However, I failed. It kept telling me that the ''expect_render'' was an undefined method. I have installed rspec 1.0.8 and rspec_on_rails as well. Below is the controller to be tested. Controller def index pre
