Hi all, I''ve been cleaning up our routing file, and removed the default map.connect ":controller/:action" route. It''s thrown up a bunch of sloppy mistakes, which is great, but I also think I''ve found a problem with the view specs. We have a generic navbar partial which is rendered in the index page of several different controllers. The navbar contains

Hello, I''m facing this problem while trying to extend the parse_redmine_links helper method in Redmine-1.1.0 (Rails-2.3.5) from my plugin. My idea is to use alias_method_chain so the extended version could call the original version and adjust the result to it''s liking. Anything I''ve tried so far exposes this behavior: the first render of a page uses the extended

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test. I boiled my question down to a simple (not too useful) example. I''m not sure what I''m missing. #

Before I start down this road, has anyone done a breadcrumbs implementation they''d be happy to share? Thanks Chris T

Looking for some help with extending existing classes. In a view I have <td><%=h bmevent.node %></td>. I need further processing on the output and added a helper: module ApplicationHelper class String def a self[ /^[^\0]*/ ] end end end and <td><%=h bmevent.node.a %></td> results in an undefined method `a'' for #<String:0xb6c8105c>

Hi guys, I am a Rspec newbie and am having problems creating a spec for a RoR helper method. I have in fact already implemented the helper method and am trying to create retrospective specs. I know its the wrong way to do it but I am still learning Rspec. In my view I have a call to a helper method. <% body_class "users" %> which sets a CSS class declaration in the content_for

Hi there, I have seen in the file column plugin ( http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/) from Sebastian Kanthak or David''s acts_as_taggable plugin that to register my functionality I need to do something like this: ApplicationHelper.send(:include, InPlaceEditAssociations) I am wondering why not: (a) module ApplicationHelper include InPlaceEditAssociatons end or: (b)

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:

My spec; describe ''subnav rendering while logged in'' do before do template.stub!(:logged_in?).and_return(true) template.stub! (:current_profile).at_least(:once).and_return(mock_profile) end def do_render render "/homepages/show.html.erb" end it "should render the logged in partial for homepages" do

form_remote_tag does not support the input type=file. This is due to javascript security limitations. I created a plugin that modifies form_remote_tag so that if you pass it the option: :html => {:multipart => true}, it will submit via an iframe, allowing you to upload files. It works nicely with file_column :). Currently, it only works with RJS templates (no :update option), and I only
