similar to: overriding form helpers

Hi there, I''m trying to override the defaults for form_helper. I can see in action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb: class InstanceTag #:nodoc: include Helpers::TagHelper attr_reader :method_name, :object_name DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS = { "size" => 30 }.freeze unless const_defined?(:DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS) DEFAULT_RADIO_OPTIONS = { }.freeze

Hi, I''m trying generate a URL from a named route like: namedroute_url(params...) but the generated route is always coming out as the first match from the routes table. The named route is defined inside a map.with_options block, but that shouldn''t matter should it? dorian -- -- I do things for love or money

Hi there, I just started writing tests today after some months of using rails (slap wrists). I seem to be getting the hang of things, but I''m hitting a wall when it comes to functional_testing pages protected by login_engine/user_engine. all my assertions come back with: Expected response to be a <:success>, but was <302> Is there a way I can login from within a test?

Hi all, I would like to write some custom helpers like the ones available as form helpers text_field, text_area and the like. My first try was this: custom_helper(obj, meth) ''some_string'' + obj.send(meth) + ''some_other_string'' end Object and method are being passed as symbols like this: custom_helper(:person, :name) and Ruby rightfully complains that

What is the best way to override some of the FormHelper default options? Right now I''m adding this to the beginning of my environment.rb: ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag::DEFAULT_TEXT_AREA_OPTIONS = { "cols" => 80, "rows" => 5 } Is that the way it''s supposed to be done? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message

If I want to use fbml elements and rails tags, is there a way to do within a fb:editor? if I do: <% facebook_form_for(:task, at task,:url => create_task_path) do |f| %> Assign Task To: <%= fb_friend_selector %> <%=f.text_field :ttype, :label=> "Title"%> <%=text_field_tag :newrnumdays, ndays, :label => "# Days"%>

Hi there, I''m now getting to the point in my rails app where I can use all of the nice basic features like AJAX and engines etc... but, I want to get my hands a bit dirtier, whilst learning to DRY up my code a bit. I''m using AJAX quite a bit to dynamically populate/edit/sort has_many relationships in forms, and consequently on a model with many has_many''s I end up

Hello, I''m trying to use rmagick in a helper script (for auto-generating image sizes) and I''m not sure where I should be calling ''require''. currently I have: require ''RMagick'' at the top of my controller: class FilmsController < ApplicationController require ''RMagick'' but that''s giving me an error:

hi, does anyone have any pointers for load testing an app running on apache2 with fastcgi? I have an app running circa 3000 page requests per day, most of which are static pre-cached files and fastcgi seems to be coping well so far (crosses fingers) but I would like to be able to work out my server limit. Currently I have the following in my apache conf: FastCgiServer

Hi there, I posted earlier asking about testing named routes in functional tests, but got no response, so I''m making my question less specific. It seems from the docs that it''s possible to to test named routes in cases such as: asserts_redirect_to name_url(:param => "whatever") but I haven''t seen any mention of it being used with any other tests and I keep

I have a date where the year range is more then I want to define in a select_date scaffold generated year range. My idea was to have the year entered as a text field and the month and day using something like: <%= select_month @person.born,:prefix => :person ,:field_name => "born(2i)" %> <%= select_day @person.born,:prefix => :person , :field_name =>

Can someone explain why form helpers appear to bypass any model methods I override for fields that are bound to database fields? It would be great if someone could tell me how to force the form field, etc to call the method instead of looking at the database / attributes collection. Let''s say I have a column called ''price'' in my database table "books"

Hi there, anyone had any trouble with railstidy? I''m using it on 1.1.2 just to tidy my output and I get a server error everytime, but the only log message I get is: FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/rails/dev/public/dispatch.fcgi" I have: after_filter :tidy def tidy RailsTidy.filter(response) end ...in my application.rb and I can get

Hi, I just signed up so ''hello everybody''. As the title suggests, I was wondering if there was an easy way to specify that I want all actions/controls to be based upon a particular parameter rather than :id (in this case :unique_name). I don''t :id to appear in URLs or elsewhere, I want it all to work from :unique_name. It seems like something that I should be able to

Hi, I have been using myisam tables in mysql with rails because my client will soon want fulltext searchable content, however when I migrated my development db from schema.rb all of the tables generated were innodb. I understand that I can override this, but also like the transactions and foreign keys of innodb. So 2 questions really: 1. are transactions in activerecord dependent on innodb or do

does anyone know of a way to make the date_helper deal with mysql dates with 00 values in them? I have lots of dates that are like the following: 2005-04-00 2005-00-00 and I need to set null values in a date_select for elements that are 00. These are valid dates in mysql. In the absence of an immediate solution to the above, I''ve been trying to find out how InstanceTag.new works so I can

Hi, Is it possible to use the ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper.text_field with an instance variable instead of a model. e.g. In the controller: def meth @value = ''hi there'' end In view: <%= text_field ''value'', nil %> It doesn''t work with what is above (doesn''t like the nil) and produces very strange results replacing nil with

Hi, I can have a Person model with a "has_one :address_email" association, then do the following in my controller: @person = Person.new @person.address_email = AddressEmail.new But, when I have 1 form for "Person" in my view I can''t bind fields in the @person.address_email object with text_field or text_field_tag helpers without getting a "undefined local

I want to override the ''tag'' method in ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper to do some generalized error handling similar to the way scaffolding puts a red border around fields that fail validation. I''ve created a file lib/rails_patches/tag_helper.rb which contains the following. module ActionView module Helpers module TagHelper alias_method :orig_tag, :tag

I want to build a simple calculator with 1 form and a results page. The form will be redisplayed with an error message upon an invalid value entered. I won''t be using any database/active record for this. The problem i have is when i return to the form page i want to redisplay the values already entered in the form fields. Should i use text_field (which seems to be tied to a model) or
