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

I noticed something strange in my app today. It appears that the extra canvas path appended in url_for is back but only for controllers that are not resources. Here is an example I have in my site: campaigns is a resource checkout is not # With the canvas false flag (rdb:1) @controller.url_for(:controller => ''campaigns'', :action => ''show'', :id

Hi all: I can''t make redirect_to to unlock the current iframe using {:TARGET => "_top"}. It always stays in the current frame. I checked the redirect_to code, it seems the method does not use "target". here is the source code of redirect_to from ActionController::Base def redirect_to(options = {}, *parameters_for_method_reference) #:doc: 753: case options

Hi, when I generate a new rails project with a simple scaffolded controller, I get a strange error message, whenever it tries to call the url_for method, for example: ,---- | undefined method `rewrite'' for #<Url:0xb7675e64> | | Extracted source (around line #7): | | 4: </p> | 5: <% end %> | 6: | 7: <%= link_to ''Edit'', :action =>

I was attempting to cache an action that had a URL like this: http://foo.com/controller/action?years[]=2005&years[]=2006&bar=5&baz=blue which returns different data than, say http://foo.com/controller/action?years[]=2004&years[]=2005&bar=6&baz=red However, the cached fragment would always be named foo.com:3000/controller/action.cache, no matter what parameters where

Hi, I''m trying to write a helper for Scriptaculous'' InPlaceCollectionEditor component. I''ve already submitted a patch (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4302). This was a drunk patch; it needs a bit of work (Don''t drink & code!). So far I''ve gotten it to work correctly with normal collections, but I want to use it for belongs_to relations as

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

Hi, all I''m trying call link_to from another helper but got this error: undefined method `link_to'' for module `UserHelper'' how can I get access to helper from another helper? this is my users_helper.rb: module UsersHelper alias ink_to_original link_to alias link_to link_to_permission def link_to_permission(name, options = {}, html_options = nil,

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

according to the documentation, only the url_for from ActionView escape the URL. which happens on this line escape ? html_escape(url) : url and can be prevented by passing :escape => false to url_for. still according to the documentation, the url_for from ActionController is not supposed to escape the url. BUT IT DOES. at the moment of this line escape ? html_escape(url) : url url has

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

Obviously I am missed something, but why the way a path is generating using named routes is a little bit different from using regular url_for? 1. Parameters from current request did not affect named routes, the way it is in the url_for. 2. only_path=>false by default in named routes. It is true by default whe using *_path instead of *_url, by why not to set it true by default in *_url and

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

Hey, all! I''m having a url problem that seems like I''m going to overcomplicate it if I don''t just ask what I''m doing wrong... My situation is that I''m testing to see if a visitor is accessing a controller via SSL, and if not, redirect to the same controller via my secure address. This really only amounts to replacing http with https, and so I did the

I''m running Rails 1.1.2, and using version 1.9.0 of the paypal gem. When I make unencrypted paypal forms, they work just fine, I get the IPN notification from the sandbox and everything is wonderful. When I try to encrypt the form though, all I get is the error message "We were unable to authorize the transaction. Please contact your merchant.", which is ... unhelpful.

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

On my host I run my lighttpd instance bound to a specific port and my hostname is mapped to this port (I''m not exactly sure how this is accomplished, but it is lighttpd also listening on port 80 which handles this for me I believe). A redirect from rails includes my local port number in the request, so that it shows up in the address bar. I prefer people not to see this - I

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:
