similar to: DRY Up Lots o'' Mailers

I''ve pared my rjs experiment down to what seems a bare minimum. When I click on my link_to_remote, the rjs executes, returns the correct javascript to the browser, but it doesn''t update the div I''ve specified. What appears to be coming back from the controller is: Element.update("my_form", "hello, rjs"); I''m tearing my hair out.

Hi folks, A quick question for somebody. I''m adding a simple validation JS to my form by attaching it like so: $(''my_form'').observe(''submit'', function(e) { return view_ns.validate_form(Event.element(e)); }); The validate_form() function returns true or false. But regardless of it''s return value, the form is always submitted. ''sup wi

Guys: Stuck at the mall today, and just had to crack Rails Cookbook, by O''Reily. It had a recipe for accepting dynamically created forms. The sample output looked like this (reconstructed): p params[:my_form] > ["1-1" => 0, "1-2" => 0, "1-3" => 0, "2-1" => 0, "2-2" => 0, "2-3" => 0,

Hi all, I cannot figure out how to correctly use the with_output_buffer helper method (located in ActionView::Helpers::CaptureHelper) inside a custom FormBuilder. Below follows a simplified example. I''m trying to achieve the following behavior in an ERB as suggested in the form_for helper docs in the Rails source: ========== <%= form_for @object, :builder => MyFormBuilder do

Any body have an idea why my first attempt to use "observe_field" isn''t working? <%= start_form_tag(:name => ''my_form'', :controller => ''boo'' , :action => ''ya'') %> <%= radio_button_tag(''foo'', ''true'', checked = true) %> <%= radio_button_tag(''foo'',

Anybody else think that mailers are more like controllers than models? After all, they even have associated views. And they''re not associated with any data (like a database table). Furthermore, if they were controllers, you could use url_for in their templates! Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I created a runner script to send a newsletter. I found this hack where you pass a controller and specify a helper: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoUseUrlHelpersWithActionMailer But in a runner script there is no controller to pass. So, it looks like it''s impossible to use url_for in the mailer template this way. Another way around the no url_for problem is to pass the

Anybody here deal with "a lot" of ActionMailers ? I have a lot of places within my application that send out emails to various parties. My /views directory has a directory for each type of mail... ie: new_user_mailer/ forgot_password_mailer/ ...etc The /views directory is getting quite full of directories because of this, and I''ve tried working some magic to get the views

Hello, I have the following in an observer: UserMailer.delay.msg_notification(record) In user_mailer.rb class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base ... def msg_notification(record) mail( :to => "#{record.user.email}", :subject => "Notification" ) end .. end But this errors with: NoMethodError (undefined method `delay'' for

I've installed bind on centos 4.3.. This is a part of my config file: example.com. IN MX 10 mail.example.com. example.com. IN MX 15 mail1.example.com. example.com. IN MX 20 mail2.example.com. mail.example.com. IN A IP mail.example.com. IN A IP

Excuse my ignorance on partials but..... I am trying to use partials to create a uniform display box built with html tables. The only way I have thought about accomplishing this is to create two partials: _start_box.erb ---------------- <table id="box" width="<%= width %>"><tr><th><%= h(label_text) %></th></tr><tr><td>

Hi, Is it normal that a call to $(''some_form'').submit() doesn''t result in the execution of an onsubmit event handler on ''some_form''? Thanks, - Rowan -- Morality is usually taught by the immoral. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

hi, what''s the way to reset the form generated by the form_remote_tag after the successful submission of the form? thanks

Hello everyone! Ive been on rails for the last month or so and really enjoyed this framework. However its very hard to find documentation on how to do things right! For example every beginner after a while realizes that having similar CRUD actions in every controller and views for them is not DRY at all! Few days ago I found http://dereksivers.com/rails-shared-controller.html I quite like his

Hi! Currently both, the controller/functional tests and mailer tests, contain a lot of cruft. I''ve created two superclasses to DRY them up a bit. Here are some examples how tests using those superclasses will look: http://pastie.caboo.se/66139 Ticket with the patch: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8521 Known issues: * Since we don''t explicitly setup the @request and

I tend to write a fresh description block for every change in the parameters for that specific action, because I hate conditionals in the example describtion, e.g.: describe SomeController, "handling GET /path/with/param/3" do it "should do this" it "should not do this if" it "should still do that in both cases" end Seperate description blocks keep

I''ve got 8 scaffolds, each one can be considered an ''item'', such as a blog, photo, etc. Using login_engine and user_engine, I list all blogs belonging to a user by saying: @user=session[:user] @blogs=@user.blogs.find(:all) but then let''s say I want to create an option where I want to slice it differently: @user=session[:user] if @someOption ==1

Why select_date and select_date? I dont understand why having both (backward compat?). I also look that their source are different, one use the InstanceTag and others calls 3 select_(year, month, day) functions.

Given the case of validating the presence of an attribute and then performing other tests on said attribute, how do you go about not having to check for nil in the other tests? Example: validates_presence_of :start_date, :end_date validate :validate_start_date_before_end_date def validate_start_date_before_end_date # without this check an exception will be thrown on access to the

Sorry, search is down on the forum, so I don''t know if this has been posted elsewhere. I have some config variables that I want to have set in all environments, and overridden in production. What I want to do is put this in my config/environment.rb SOME_CONFIG = 555 And then override it in config/environments/production.rb as: SOME_CONFIG = 333 Problem is, using constants I
