similar to: Automatic helpers for controller modules?

I want to use helpers inside a controller method for an AJAX application. After the page is loaded and displayed, there will be an asynchronous javascript request to load additional resources such as html forms and other data. The controller which handles the request will collect the resources and send them back in json format. def get_resources data=Hash.new data[:form1]=form_helper1()

I have the following 3 models (2 models joined by an intermediate): 1. class Exercise < ActiveRecord::Base 2. has_many :routines, :class_name=>''RoutineExercise'' 3. end 1. class Routine < ActiveRecord::Base 2. has_many :exercises, 3. :class_name=>''RoutineExercise'', 4. :order=>''position'' 5. end 1. class

I would like to have some valid mock models readily available in the helper module, but when I try to access the helper I get the error saying that the method is not found. ======= describe MembersHelper do # Helper methods can be called directly in the examples (it blocks) def valid_member_mock member = mock_model(Member) member.stub!(:first_name).and_return("Joe")

Hi everyone, is there any way how to use Helpers in Controllers in Rails 3? I was trying to google about it, but no luck. In old Rails times (2.x) we were using something like this. my_active_record_object.variable = "This is the message body:<br /><br /> #{@template.simple_format(params["message"])}" point is that when we wanted to attach text from Text Area to

Hi all, I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers. One of the helpers in app/helpers/application_helper.rb looks like this: def page_name @page_name || "Define @page_name in #{controller.controller_name}::#{controller.action_name}" end The rspec is simply: it "should something" do page_name end

Right now, I have the following in my application controller - and a simliar version is duplicated in test_helper. There must be a better way to include common functionality like this that gets used across layers? Maybe at the very least a way to include it at the class level and instance level with one line? # provide access to text helper at class level def self.text_helper

I asked this questions on some other places before, but have found no solution yet. I''d like to include the request helper (from ActionDispatch::Integration::RequestHelpers, like post and xhr methods) also in some specs outside of my controller specs. The problem is that these request helpers are only included in spec/ controller and when a controller is described. What do I have to

I can''t figure out why I''m getting the following error. There''s nothing wrong in my communities_controller file. And the helper for communties exists. Any ideas? Thanks, Joe NameError in <controller not set>#<action not set> uninitialized constant CommunitiesHelper app/controllers/communities_controller.rb:1 script/server:48 Show framework trace

I added a field "url" to a table, modified the view to show the new field. Now I''m getting an error in the code that processes the form in the view: copy_from_item = Item.find(params[:id]) @item = Item.new(copy_from_item.attributes) The second line here gives this error: undefined method `url='' for #<Item:0x246e3f0> RAILS_ROOT:

Hi, Here''s my problem. I tried to google it, read the release-docs and haven''t found anything similar. My application uses folders to store controllers, as described in the Rails book. I need to have same-named controllers for admin and for users, so it looks like this: /app/controllers/admin/project_controller.rb /app/controllers/admin/...

hello, I have a model (item) with one attachment (photo) and one style (small): class Producto < ActiveRecord::Base has_attached_file :photo, :styles => { :small => "50x50"}, end I would like to add a new style (:large), so I modify item.rb: class Producto < ActiveRecord::Base has_attached_file :photo, :styles => {{ :small => "50x50"},{ :large =>

Hi, I want to access a view helper from a controller. (Of course, you all want to know why??? -- See below.) To be specific, I want to access methods such as ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper -- form_tag and text_field_tag from either a controller or from a new class (in models? or lib?). If I create the new class then that class''s methods need to also be able to access the

I have a controller named xyzController under app/controllers I have a helper class named xyzHelper under app/helpers. Shouldn''t I be able to call methods from xyzHelper inside of xyzController without any problems? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Is there a way to call helper methods in a controller? I want to do something like this in my controller Class MyController < Action.... def my_method string = link_to "some_url", :controller => "home", :action => "command" end end link_to is an ActionView helper method and it seems that I couldn''t access the method in the controller

I suspect there''s an easier version of this question that I could ask, but I''m not sure where I''m going wrong. I have LoginEngine and UserEngine setup and seemingly running fine. However, not all of my controllers are being found when I run "rake sync_permissions". Specifically, it''s the controllers that are not in the base controllers folder, but

Hello all, I''m having great trouble accessing a constant declared in a helper for one of my view templates. I am trying to create a grouped selection list based on a predefined set of values. Rather than declare this set of values in the view, I wanted to put it in the helper that automatically gets included for the view. Unfortunately, it doesn''t seem to work. All methods

After updating to the latest version of Markaby, I''ve noticed that @helpers doesn''t seem to be necessary when accessing params, flash, etc. and named routes (*_url) in Rails. Is and will @helpers no longer be necessary? (And if so, let me be the first to say YAY!) Thanks, Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
