similar to: Modifying URLs

I''ve got an app that has ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = "/super" set in environment.rb. I''d like to use url_for to generate URLs without the relative root, or even be able to specify a different relative root. Is that possible somehow? Pat

In both url_for and link_to, the :only_path param can be used to determine whether the link url used is complete with hostname and path, or just has the path (a kind of relative url). However, in url_for it defaults to false (urls with hostnames), and in link_to it defaults to true ( urls without hostnames, just paths). Is there any reason for this discrepency? To me, it violates the principle

Hi, how can I get the current URL withing a controller? There seems to be no appropriate method in ActionController::Base. I''m creating a site, which requires a login for some pages. I''m using before_filter for authentication. My idea was to store the currect URL in a session before redirecting to the login page and then redirect to this URL after successful authenfication.

I've pulled out the no-longer-necessary remnants of the old way of handling auth and before_filters as well as fixing a couple bugs that had crept in along the way. Unit test fixes for the refactoring will follow in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Scott Seago <sseago at redhat.com> --- src/app/controllers/application.rb | 46 ----------------

When I try to use url_for within a component I get the following: NoMethodError in LinkController#get_links undefined method `url_for'' for Navbar::LinkController:Class The API docs show url_for as a public method of ActionController::Base. Since my component is derived from ActionController::Base shouldn''t url_for be available within the class? Any ideas? Thanks! -

I want to call the method ''url_for'' in my functional test. e.g. assert_select "a[href=?]", url_for(:action => :new), :text => ''Neue Seite'' The book I am reading suggests doing this: class PagesControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase def setup def self.url_for(options, *parameters_for_method_reference) options.merge! :only_path

according to the documentation, only the url_for from ActionView escape the URL. which happens on this line escape ? html_escape(url) : url and can be prevented by passing :escape => false to url_for. still according to the documentation, the url_for from ActionController is not supposed to escape the url. BUT IT DOES. at the moment of this line escape ? html_escape(url) : url url has

Hi All, So I found a helpful web page that explained how I could use things like url_for in my mails: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseUrlHelpersWithActionMailer However, I can''t test them properly. The problem is that when I create a controller in my unit tests and pass it into the ActionMailer, it''s not a real controller, set up as a controller is when it is

Hi all: I can''t make redirect_to to unlock the current iframe using {:TARGET => "_top"}. It always stays in the current frame. I checked the redirect_to code, it seems the method does not use "target". here is the source code of redirect_to from ActionController::Base def redirect_to(options = {}, *parameters_for_method_reference) #:doc: 753: case options

Hi there, I''ve added an extra bunch of testing features for doing in-browser testing with Selenium, and am having quite a time figuring out how to use url_for with having a controller object present. I''ve tried using ActionController::Base.url_for and ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper.url_for but haven''t been able to get something that works. What I want to be able

I was attempting to cache an action that had a URL like this: http://foo.com/controller/action?years[]=2005&years[]=2006&bar=5&baz=blue which returns different data than, say http://foo.com/controller/action?years[]=2004&years[]=2005&bar=6&baz=red However, the cached fragment would always be named foo.com:3000/controller/action.cache, no matter what parameters where

Hi all, On a related topic to Web spidering, I would like to solve a problem of internally spidering and saving a Rails application from within rails. The goal is to spider and save each resource in a site to a filesystem friendly structure /many/things/1?page=3 -> many_things_1_page_3.html or /many/things/1?page=3 -> many/things/1_page_3.html If a redirect is created

Hello, I have discovered the good use of stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag (I''m still learning) and it is very useful because I have to use the relative_url_root way. Now I wonder how I can use that for other URLs. I want a background image for a table cell so I have to write something like: <td align=''right'' valign=''bottom''

I have a controller which iterates through a group of people and dynamically generates an email for each person, it is a bit DB heavy so caching would really help. Adding ''include ActionController::Caching::Fragments'' to my BookingMailer model produces this error: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined local variable or method `perform_caching'' for

Hi I created a custom route that looks like this: map.connect '':controller/:table/:action/:id'' Hierarchically, :table is above :action and :id. So, if we call ActionController::Base#url_for with an argument :table=>nil, we''re supposed to get a url with :action and :id set to nil as well. However, this is not the case: url_for(:table=>nil) from

Hi there, I am trying to get something working and its driving me crazy. I have been looking around for solutions to getting view helpers working in models and for the most part I find this solution. Add the following in the model you want to use them in include ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper include ActionController::UrlWriter However, when I try something like

This patch creates the shell for much of what the cloud ui will become. It is focused on layout (lightly fedora themed), accessibility, and 'bookmarkability'. This layout uses no javascript (that will be used to enhance interactivity in a future patch). It also introduces the idea of using a simple table rather than the more conplex js/json we use in the admin side. Plan here is to

I have an odd error. I have the following module: module ActionController module SslSupport def self.included(base) raise "#{base} does not define url_for" unless base.method_defined?(:url_for) unless base.respond_to?(:url_for_without_ssl_supprt) base.send :include, InstanceMethods base.send :alias_method_chain, :url_for, :ssl_support end

Having a bit of an issue with url_for The current page I''m on has a named route as follows: map.some_page ''page/:id/:range'', :action => ''the_action'' All looks fairly normal. I have an url_for on this page to make a link to another page as so: url_for(:controller=>''other'', :action=>''display'', :id=>5,
