similar to: Get controller''s module path

I''m trying to produce a plugin to help me with my page caching woes. I can''t seem to get rails to see my method within the plugin. This is my first attempt at a plugin so I''m sure I''m missing something. I''ve created a directory /vendor/lib/plugins/broom_stick/. I then created an init.rb file with: require ''broom_stick'' I then

I have a controller method that is attempting to do a render based on a potential error condition. So I have if (condition) render() else ..other code end ....other code in method Should I expect the render to take place immediately or does the render call not work because it isn''t the last statement in the method?

I am aware that controllers can be placed in modules: ruby script/generate controller modulename/controllername But what does this buy me? Is it just a way of ensuring that my source code is nicely arranged, or can I use the fact that a set of controllers are all within a particular model to implement functionality common to all of those controllers? Why am I asking? The app

Hey, sorry if this is something better suited to another list. I''ve encountered a strange problem with the RSpec.tmbundle in trunk - namely that it was raising an exception when pressing ctrl-shift-downarrow (switch between spec and source - "Alternate File"). I tracked down the issue to be handling of the file_type in switch_command.rb#content_for() - the code expected the

All, I have a controller action that will do a different "render (:action)" call depending on whether or not data is valid. When the data is invalid - I set a flash element to hold a message. However, when I post back to this controller action and have valid data, I still have the flash element set, which I don''t want. I believe this is because I did a render from the

So any other ideas as to why my custom class under app/models is being cached even though all the caching is set to false in the config/environments/* files? Currently I''m having to restart WEBrick after EVERY change to the file. The controllers and views are reloading just fine and not being cached. It''s just the custom class I created that''s being cached. Any ideas

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has seen (or completed) an effect to make something ''bounce'' like icons do in the OS X dock when you launch them? Something that looks like there''s a bit of gravitational behavior to it? Thanks, Trevor Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

I wanted to group some functions which I use in some models in one place. Controllers have application.rb and views have helpers but I couldn''t find anything about models. Using the /lib directory seemed to be the only way. Alright... so I have something like this: /lib/code.rb class ActiveRecord::Base def method_a(n) ....... end def method_b(n) ........ end end

All, This is really starting to get me as i can''t figure out why I am getting this error. Here is what is going on. I have a table called items and a item controller. When I add a new item to the items table I am also creating several associated tables. the code for this so that you can follow along is: def create @item = Item.new(params[:item]) # The item belongs to

Will shortly be deploying first iteration of app to some beta testers (i.e. friends), and want them to be able see it both from logged-in view and guest (i.e. not logged-in) view. The two are a fair bit different. It''s a closed beta, so (hopefully) no pages (other than a blank login page) will be visible. The question is, what''s the best way for them to be able to see (and

I''d like to be able to catch ActionController::MissingTemplate exceptions from within ActionControlle, *but*, MissingTemplate isn''t defined within my controllers!!! How is that possible - after all, all controller subclass ActionController, so how are exceptions it defines not there!? More importantly, how can I do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am trying to inherit from a ActiveRecord class defined in a plugin. The problem is that ActiveRecord thinks I am doing an STI and is looking up a table that doesn''t exist. Currently, I have a method in the parent class that looks like this: def self.fix_table_name class_eval do set_table_name(Inflector.tableize(self.to_s)) end end The problem is that this method

Hey, I just put up a little rails pop-quiz on my blog (more fun than just writing a post saying "hey did you know..."). Seeing as it''s probably of interest to more than just the three people (including my wife) that actually read my blog I figured it would be okay to announce it here. http://tinyurl.com/prxdl I''ll post my answers in a followup tomorrow
