similar to: Cascading views?

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 } %>

Let''s say I have the model class Reader and Magazine, connected by join model Subscription. It looks something like this class Reader < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :subscriptions, :dependent => :delete_all has_many :magazines, :through => :subscriptions validates_presence_of :name end class Magazine < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :subscriptions, :dependent =>

Should I create a separate controller for each model or should I use 1 controller for all models? Having 1 "admin" controller for all backend stuff seems logic to me, but when I scaffold it rather makes 1 controller per model. I''m fairly new to the MVC pattern, so what''s the prefered way of doing it? I''m also wondering if the API is up to date? When

Let''s say I wanted to find 3 products from my database and put them in the layouts/application.rhtml view. Where do I find these 3 products? Do I just do it in application.rhtml? <% for product in Product.find(:all, :limit => 3) %> Because I was under the impression that you really don''t want to do this in your views. You should do this in your controllers and

If I want to call A/B, can I call a corresponding controller action for it? Like with app/views/A.rhtml, I can it will call the method A in the controller file. But with A/B.rhtml, I cant do def A/B. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The validation reflection plugin adds three things (1) Reflective access to validations - ModelClass.reflect_on_all_validations - ModelClass.reflect_on_validations_for(:property) (2) It provides "declarative" methods for defining validations based on database metadata - validates_presence_of_mandatory_content_columns - validates_lengths_of_string_attributes -

I''m getting confused. If I have a view (.rhtml), I can use a field helper like: <%= text_field :mymodel, :attribute %> This uses the value from @mymodel.attribute Now, if I am rendering a template normally (i.e. not partial), I would expect @mymodel to be a model object defined as an instance variable in the controller. However, if I am rendering a partial template, I

ok, i have a pretty almost finished (frontend) blog, i have defined an admin zone with authentication to add content, now im getting trouble with the views for the controllers in the admin zone, here you can see my file structure: http://img284.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tmpviews6oq.gif and my admin controllers like this: controllers/admin/admin_controller.rb class Admin::AdminController

Can anyone show me how to go about placing specific views within a directory? ie: controllers/hello.rb views/hello/english/world.rhtml views/hello/english/people.rhtml views/hello/spanish/mundo.rhtml views/hello/spanish/gente.rhtml instead of the usual: controllers/hello.rb views/hello/world.rhtml views/hello/mundo.rhtml hello.rb currently contains the basic methods: class ChartsController

I have the following question. It sounds weird, but still. We all have app/views/say.rhtml or any other template for the view. It can include of course instructions in <% %> So the question is next -- is it possible to use .rhtml as a view which we just uploaded? I.e. user uploads his own .rhtml, controller saves it in the database, and shows the view using it. Is it possible at all?

I''d like to organize my project structure by storing certain related views into a subdirectory. For example, I have a bunch of interviews which each contain their own view (the client doesn''t want them content managed, or put in the database). Right now I have them placed inside "app/views/site/interview_one.rhtml", "app/views/site/interview_two.rhtml", etc.

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''ve installed the theme generator but am having trouble getting custom application views working. Let''s say I define a action called ''test'' in the controller. class PageController < ApplicationController theme ''bluebird'' layout ''default'' def test end end Now if I define a rhtml page called

When you guys test views, what are you testing? Do you just test that all the form fields exist in a new.rhtml, that all form fields are filled in an edit.rhtml, and that all the proper columns are are shown in a index.rhtml page, or is there something more that should be tested? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Why is my rxml view being wrapped by the rhtml template in views/ layouts? I was experimenting with REST, I had a nice little test program with one table: ''resources''. Here''s what the show method looks like: def show @resource = Resource.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |accepts| accepts.html accepts.xml end end I have a show.rhtml

I''m thinking this has to be a common question, but thus far I haven''t found it, maybe somebody can point me in the right direction. If I''ve got a controller Foo, and a page views/foo/index.rhtml, and I want to handle multiple languages, I''m thinking that one way to go would be to create views/foo/en/index.rhtml, views/foo/fr/index.rhtml, ... and so on for each

I need to know what controller and action the user is currently in to do various things in my layouts/application.rhtml file. Isn''t there is a better way than: <% if params[:controller] == "whatever" && params[:action] == "whatever" %>some html<% end %> I know in the controllers you can just use controller_name, but that is not provided

I know there''s wiki page on generating PDF[*], but that''s not really what I want. I don''t need to create arbitrary PDF. What I''d like to do is create PDF templates and fill in the blanks. Roughly, I''m looking for functionality akin to the mail merge feature of word processors, including conditional and repeated elements, say, table rows. Michael
