Hi all, I am creating a multiple-storefront shopping cart in Rails, and have run into a small problem. In addition to the cart, line-item, product, and order models (pretty much standard for this sort of thing), I have a Storefront model which locates the current storefront (by examining the domain name), and initializes itself. This works fine throughout, and by declaring a

Hey all, Got a bit of a long one here, so bear with me while I try to hash out the details... better to give too much than not enough. So we''re using the ActionWebService in order to communicate with a 3rd-party software client. We''ve created the API as discussed in Agile Web Development, and, in fact, invoke actually works perfectly. We have three example XML posts... they

Hi all, Here''s an odd one. I have a "Tax" model which is related via a habtm relationship to a "Storefront" model. In my view_store rhtml file, I have the line : @storefront.taxes.each do |tax| This line returns the following error: NameError in Admin#view_store Showing app/views/admin/view_store.rhtml where line #52 raised: uninitialized constant Taxis See

I play a lot of games on Linux so I compile Wine from source and run it from the source directory to allow multiple versions and configurations. A couple weeks ago I started noticing errors whenever Steam tried to display a web page which was no biggie since I never use the storefront and I just chalked it up to Steam being buggy. But then I noticed the same error popping up in other programs

I was really excited today when a colleague gave me a lead on what I had hoped might become my first production Rails site. Almost as quickly, my joy began to fade upon speaking to the client. He wants a storefront that integrates with his existing POS database...a product called CamCommerce. A bit of research on this software (I''d not heard of it) suggests that the database backend that

Hi, I have an rjs file. I only have one controller called called front. I have views called "new_title.rhtml" and "_new_title.rhtml" These work page.replace_html ''title'', ''new title'' page.replace_html ''title'', :partial => ''new_title'' page.replace_html ''title'',

Hi, I want to render a action template with rjs, so instead of doing this: page.replace_html ''maincontent'', :partial => ''list'' I want to do this: page.replace_html ''maincontent'', :action => ''list'' but the render (that is called by replace_html, outputs to the reponds_body), so it doesn''t work. Is there a

Hi there, I''m sure a lot of you guys have come across this question: How can we render several :partials on a page *before* the called :action has finished? Basically, my situation is this: When I click on a certain button, 3 things are supposed to happen: - INSTANTLY: the button should become disabled (either by setting ":disabled" to "true" by updating the

Hi, Over the past month I''ve been playing with some ideas for an admin interface for a ecommerce app. 1) Old-fashioned, forms-based, full-page-refresh, server-focused interface 2) Modern, JavaScript-Drag-Drop, AJAX, client-focused, Web2.0 interface The more I work on the second option with JavaScript an AJAX the more I feel like I''m moving away from building a server side

I want to be DRY. I have a controller action, component, that renders html. I have another controller action, component_update, that returns RJS: This what I''d like for ''component_update.rjs'': page[params[:scaffold_id]].replace_html render(:action => "component", :layout => false) page[params[:scaffold_id]].visual_effect :highlight But, the render is

Rails group, I''m looking to update a div element with a page link without having to write a corresponding action to populate that element. I''ve tried: <%= link_to_function "cancel", page.replace_html("control", :partial => "controls") %> Basically I''m trying to limit the amount of methods that serve my Ajax calls that only

I''m playing around with the Postback action recipe listed in the recipes book. Here is the default code given: def edit @recipe = Recipe.find_by_id(params[:id]) || Recipe.new if request.post? @recipe.attributes = params[:recipe] redirect_to :main_url and return if @recipe.save end end Here is what my code sort of ended up looking like, altho i''ve ripped it apart

Hi, I am calling an action via AJAX to update a div. The action needs to redirect the page in under certain circumstances. However, if I just use "redirect_to" in the action then of course what happens is that the page I want to redirect to replaces only the div, not the entire page, and I get messy nested layouts. Is there a way around this? Can I redirect the entire document from

Hi everyone, I''ve got a pair of AJAX actions that use slide_up and slide_down to toggle the editing of some info. You first see a table of entitlements for a user. Clicking "Change these" slides that up and then a full table comes down, displaying all possible entitlements for that user. Remove and Add links are next to the appropriate entitlements. When finished, clicking

I have a regular controller action which, when called, makes an HTTP GET request to another server. That works fine. I''d like to throw that inside an action called with link_to_remote, but that''s having problems. The error I get follows. Any ideas?

The title pretty much describes my problem. I have a standard Ajax call to an action the updates a portion of my view. However, variables set inside the action are not available in my view. In fact, NOTHING that happens in my action seems to affect my view. Calling render :layout => false still gives me the flipping layout. However, I know the Ajax call itself is working because I can do

I have a list of images on one of my pages, and I would like for the act of double-clicking on any of them to do a remote request to an action. In this case, I''d like to pop up a redbox that is a dialog about the item I clicked on. I found some example code like this: <%= image_tag "image.jpg", :class => "image", :ondblclick =>
