similar to: Controllers and Namespaces (no problem, just questions)

Sorry for the dup, but didn''t get a response with the first one, so I cleaned it up a bit in hopes of getting a response. There has been a couple of blogs (one posted at weblog.rubyonrails.com"Things you shouldn''t do in Rails") that are stating namespacing controllers are bad and that you should avoid using them. This idea does not sit well with me and am curious as

Fellow Railers, Is there anything, anywhere, that I can read that discusses overall RoR app design? I have the Agile RoR book, which is great for learning the details of RoR, but unfortunately doesn''t cover the overall issue of creating a large, complex RoR app. My staff and I are still in the process of getting up to speed on Ruby and RoR, but we also need to begin thinking about

Less than one week after the release of Rails 2.1, was launched in Brazil the first book describing all the new features of this release. After the launch of the book in Portuguese, the Brazilian community united to translate the book into English. Done! A gift from all Brazilian Railers to the international community. more information and download: www.nomedojogo.com www.pedropimentel.com

I''m checking out the new router in Rails 3, and was looking to create an ''/admin'' section of a website with several namespaced resources, however I''d like the top level ''/admin'' to also route to a controller. Here''s my current setup: match ''admin'' => ''admin#index'', :as =>

Hello everyone! I have generic views for CRUD operations For example I render(''shared/list'') from controller shared/list.rhtml ... <% for item in @list %> <tr class="<%= cycle ''list-line-odd'', ''list-line-even'' %>"> <%= render :partial => ''item'', :locals => { :item => item } %>

I''m writing a controller which should only be inherited from, something like the generic crud controller seen here: http:// geekonomics.blogspot.com/2006/07/crud-and-shared-controllers.html Now, in my spec, I would like to create a controller which inherits from the generic CRUDController, without actually creating the controller. This controller is *only* for testing. How can I

Hi Kasper FWIW, the package development and maintenance support in 'mvbutils' makes it trivial to work with namespaced packages, even at the earliest stages of development. It's completely easy to add and remove functions to/from the namespace (and the exported visible bit) while the package is loaded. Debugging is seamless (via the 'debug' package, anyway). There is no need

Hi, I want to develop my resources that deal with CRUD operations on my models in a namespace of /admin. How is the best approach to do this? What needs to be changed in order to do this? As in my last attempt of moving things to a namespace my software broke. TIA, Dean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To

I have a few simple controllers doing plain, simple crud in a standard way. now it''s not very DRY to write a funtcional test for each controller, since they are all doing the same (apart from a few variable names, but that could be easily inflected or so). is there a way to do this? e.g. does inheritance work with tests, so i define a base test first, inherit my other tests and add a few

I have some protected methods and authentication/acl filters I want to inherit down through my controllers. So I have controllers which inherit like this: Application_controller \ -- AdminArea Controller --\ ----dashboard controller ----user controller ----content controller ----\ ------page controller ------placement controller -- PublicArea Controller --\ ........ At the deepest level the

Hi, I''m new to Ruby and Rails and I''m making a simple application to help me learn how to use it. At the moment I have an admin controller. When the user goes here I want them to be presented with 3 choices: manage photos, news and pages. From there I want them to be able to CRUD each type. At the moment in the admin controller I''ve defined actions "photo",

For edge rails there is a Crud generator. There is also a CRUD controller that is out there from which you can inherit your other controllers (see http://geekonomics.blogspot.com/2006/07/crud-and- shared-controllers.html) This got me thinking about Crud controllers in general. As far as I know, the generator can''t produce crud classes which are nested (i.e.

Hi Railers If you are in the Copenhagen area on the 29th of this month (that''s a Thursday) Jesper and I would be glad to see you at Caf? Selina in the central Copenhagen for the first of many Ruby on Rails meetups. We start at 20:30 hours and have of cause arranged for free beer and complementary WiFi. Our goal is to create an inspiring atmosphere where railers (new and old) can

Hi all, How can I use spec fixtures with rails integration tests ? I''ve tried adding {{ fixtures "../../spec/fixtures/myfixture" }} to the integration test but the fixtures are not loaded when I run the rake task. Rails doesn''t load symlinked fixtures either so I copied the files from spec/fixtures for the time being. Not very DRY. Any ideas ? Keith

Hi railers, (railers? Rails-ers? How do you folks refer to yourselves?) I''m brand spankin'' new to most of this. I''m just learning ruby, just learning rails, just learning MySQL, and really just learning about Apache/CGI-type stuff. I have a long background with UNIX sysadmin and scripting (lots and lots of Perl and Bash), so the ruby is coming fast (and

Hi all We all know the model-controller-paradigm: I have a model "News" which has a corresponding CRUD-controller "NewsController". But now I''m quite unsure about the following... Guess we have normal visitors that visit our site www.??.com/news and we have administrators that create and modify news items. The admin should see an "Edit" link and a

I''m running into a problem with RSpec/Rails and namespaced controllers. I''ve got a controller called ''TenantsController'' in app/controllers and another called ''Admin::TenantsController'' in app/controllers/admin In spec/controllers/, I have a tenants_controller_spec.rb. In spec/controllers/admin/ I have another tenants_controller_spec.rb. Both

As you know you can create your own .rake files in lib/tasks and Rails will automatically find them - as Rake 0.7 adds namespace support and Rails is already taking advantage of these namespaces if you are on Edge Rails I thought it would make a lot of sense if Rails automatically namespaced your own custom rake files, so I raised a ticket for this and I''ve now implemented it

Hello all, I''m working on a couple of Rails projects at the moment and have noticed something that seems to go against the DRY principal. Why, when scaffolding, are individual CRUD rhtml files created instead of using one as a partial and having the others use that single partial? This especially applies to the list rhtml. I am about to get to the other operations and see how feasible
