similar to: Overriding rails helpers?

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

Hi list, I''m sorry to come here talking about this (since I realize you have many, far better things to do, but I''d really like your feedback on an idea I have for the summer of code. I''d like to work with the guys at Ruby Central on implementing a feature for Ruby on Rails, and since you guys are the best source of information on the subject, I''d like to ask

Hi, So, how can the situation described in the subject come to be? In other words, what could be invalidating the model, yet not generating an error? thanks, jh ps. here''s the breakpoint session paste: irb(#<#<Class:0xb72eec00>:0xb72eeb10>):003:0> @project.errors.empty? => true irb(#<#<Class:0xb72eec00>:0xb72eeb10>):004:0> @project.valid? => false

In Rails 2.3.x, you can override render_optional_error_file like so: # ApplicationController.rb protected def render_optional_error_file(status_code) render :template => "errors/500", :status => 500, :layout => ''application'' end However, Rails 3 no longer has render_optional_error_file. Instead, you need to overriderescue_action_in_public, which I do:

Short story: I need to use a different style of inputs to enter datetimes. What I want is to be able to implement these while still retaining the niceties of the built-in input helpers, like ActiveRecord error handling and automatic reconstitution of a single Date object from multiple form elements. What''s the best way to go about this? Long story: My form has one standard month

I did as I was told: add "breakpoint" to an action, start script/server, start script/breakpointer, then go to the action in the browser. Absolutely nothing happens, on either side. I''ve tried every variation of starting what when I can think of, I''ve specified ports, I''ve done all I can think of, but never once have I gotten the fabled irb prompt that

Hi there, I''ve been trying to override the text_field helper with a version in my application helper. Whenever I try and call it from a partial I get the error: "uninitialized constant InstanceTag" I can override the text_field_tag no problem. But there''s lots of stuff I don''t understand in text_field. All I really want to do is set some common options for

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

Hi, I have been stumped by this error Hpricot is generating in my rails app. The error looks like this: $ script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2) >> str = ''<p>lorem ipsum <a href="http://dolor.com/">dolor</a> sit amet.</p>'' => "<p>lorem ipsum <a href=\"http://dolor.com/\">dolor</a>

Hello - I would like to use the ruby debugger instead of irb for a breakpoint enabled by script/breakpointer in order to step through some code. How do I do that? Aaron

I''m looking for a plugin/whatever for preloading fixtures, to run tests with FKs defined. Specifying load order just doesn''t work for me, I need to purge the test db, load all fixtures, and only then create the FK constraints. Any suggestions?

I''m trying to create a sequence with no gaps in my db (contrived example, but should work out the same as my real one), and believe db-managed transactions are the way to go about this. It''s my first real ''go'' at transactions, so I may be mistaken about how things really work. Anyway.. Consider this example code: Class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base def

How to get Rails'' script/breakpointer work in RDT 0.7 in Eclipse 3.1.2? I''m new to Rails and have gotten breakpointer working in a csh on Fedora Core 4. Also, the RDT setup works for breakpoints set in straight Ruby code. I''m trying http://www.napcs.com/howto/railsonwindows.html#setupbreakpointer. But a breakpoint set in Eclipse doesn''t get hit at all.

I developed a small RoR app on my Ubuntu laptop and I just tried to migrate it to my "production" box which is Fedora FC3. I moved the entire rails app. I received this error when I tried to get the first page: [2005-11-17 15:36:00] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=32546 port=3000 192.168.0.61 - - [17/Nov/2005:15:40:01 EST] "GET /freesql HTTP/1.1" 200 0 - ->

ActiveResource basic auth currently breaks when certain chars are used in the user name and/or password field, e.g. ''@'' as part of the user name. I created a ticket on the issue[1], but closed it again as I''m not sure where the responsibility really belongs. It''s a showstopper for us, though.. Thoughts?

I already have a simple role based access control system (User, Role, Privilege, Client) in place for my web layer, which checks User.authorized?(controller, action, client) from a before filter. What do you think about using this method for auth checks on the model layer as well, only with made up controller/action strings? (e.g. "model::Period", "close") A bit simplistic

Hello everyone! I seem to be have a bit of a problem setting up a few network folders for a my office on a Qnap storage device running Samba -v3.5.2. So I ask: when the 'write list' of a share contains ONLY groups, and a user tries to log on to that share, then samba authenticates against the primary group only of that user only?? Here is the example that fails: -the user is

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

I could use some help with translating month names for the date_select helper using gettext. Think my best bet would be to override the ActionView::Helpers::DateHelper.select_month method once gettext is initialized, which is done by a before_filter in ApplicationContext, but have no idea how I would go about that. Any suggestions appreciated, Isak
