similar to: Can we have have protected methods in our REST controllers?

Does someone have an actual example of this? I saw DHH''s slides where he said that you could have your app automatically respond with HTML, XML, atom, whatever. So far I''ve found tons of discussion on REST and CRUD in Rails, but I haven''t seen anything that actually shows me what it all is. There''s simply_restful, which apparently makes things easier...I

I have a few simple controllers doing plain, simple crud in a standard way. now it''s not very DRY to write a funtcional test for each controller, since they are all doing the same (apart from a few variable names, but that could be easily inflected or so). is there a way to do this? e.g. does inheritance work with tests, so i define a base test first, inherit my other tests and add a few

I''m rewriting an application with the intention to use the elegant CRUD and REST design principles as outlined by DHH in his RailsConf Keynote[1]. The question is: how do you use those principles for an application that is of a sequential nature? The application works much like an MS Windows wizard: user begins at screen foo. After doing (or not) some stuff in screen foo, he is taken to

Question, and I''ll preface it by asking if this is the right list to be posting questions regarding anything past Rails 1.1.6 , (i.e. edgerails) ? In the latest revision of AWDWR there is a sample REST based app. During the creation of the controller and actions, there is a foot note that says: "7. By the time you''re reading this, there may well be support build into Rails

Greetings, I''m fairly noob with rails and making my first DB driven site with it. I''m using the scaffold generator to develop the admin side of my site (admin_controller) I have three sections that I want to have the administrator edit, and I want to call these from the admin controller that has a layout with navigation to these three sections. When using the scaffold

Hi all We all know the model-controller-paradigm: I have a model "News" which has a corresponding CRUD-controller "NewsController". But now I''m quite unsure about the following... Guess we have normal visitors that visit our site www.??.com/news and we have administrators that create and modify news items. The admin should see an "Edit" link and a

I''m preety new at RoR (and programming), I tried a few tutorials, and really like the RoR simplicity, but my knowledge of the framework still isn''t very good (to be true, i understand the basics, but not everything that''s in the tutorials). But still I''d like to create a website which has: - front end interface (with no edit functions) - admin interface

I just completed an exercise of breaking down an existing project and mapping out the controllers and actions, then re-factoring them into some perhaps more RESTful. Though I could be wrong since I am still grasping REST. Most of the controllers mapped perfectly into a REST structure, except for a few. I have Messages, which can respond to all the usual actions, plus a few more. The extras are

I''d like to display a banner on every page. Ultimately I''ll be tweaking which banner is displayed via different controllers but initially I''d just like to set a single banner application wide and display it in my "_header", a partial I include in all layouts. I''ve got a BannerAdvert model, simple. If I''m in my welcome controller index action

Been thinking about something lately and wanted to hear what others thought. After watching the video[1] of DHH with the slides[2] I really liked some of the ideas presented. Many people have noted the ugliness of needing secondary actions since HTTP actions do not cover the full range of CRUDness (i.e. the "GET /people;new" and "GET /people/1;edit"). Also the need for

Hello. I will appreciate the opinion. What is the standard way of separating admin functions from normal- user functions? before_filter in one controller? Use two controllers, i.e. ProductController and Admin/ ProductController? I want to use map.resources so RESTFul would be better. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to

I''ve been looking into RESTful approaches lately. Everything I know my dog, Lelu, taught me. REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is an architectural technique for networked applications first described by Roy Fielding in his dissertation at UC Irvine-- excellent work, especially considering the tempting proximity of Newport Beach. As Lelu described it to me, REST strives

Can you restric before_filter to specific actions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m about to start work on sidebars for my app, but I''ve heard a number of people express doubts about them as the way to go (they are slow & apparently DHH regretted coming up with them components). What other solutions are people using for this type of need (i.e.needing to call an action/view combo from within a view)?

I''ve set up a route like this map.connect ''confirm/:id/:full_name/'', :controller => "users", :action => "confirm" and I''m wondering what is the best way to verify in the confirm method. full_name created in the model and it''s not in the database. This doesn''t work because it doesn''t parse one, then the

To the aide of anyone whose had to create new models, migrations and unit tests for the common many-to-many relationship, using "has_many :through" (that''s almost everyone). I''ve created a new generator that generates two model classes, plus a many-to-many relationship class, e.g. User, Group, plus the Membership model between them. It also generates the migrations

what''s the best protection against someone trying to modify an URL in a named route /users/25/posts if the user enter another URL /users/26/posts, he can get acces to user 26 posts unless .. a before_filter is checking the current_user ID but is there any other way to do it ? thanks for your lights kad -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m new to Ruby and Rails and I''m making a simple application to help me learn how to use it. At the moment I have an admin controller. When the user goes here I want them to be presented with 3 choices: manage photos, news and pages. From there I want them to be able to CRUD each type. At the moment in the admin controller I''ve defined actions "photo",

... before_filter :find_regression_test def find_regression_test @regression_test=RegressionTest.find(8) end .... The above seems like perfectly normal before_filter syntax, but it gives this error.
