similar to: Staying DRY -- can views share partials?

When I first learned about the View specs I was very excited. I still am. However, I haven''t found them useful yet for one reason. They throw the following exception when ever a view renders another view, which is very common. ActionView::TemplateError in ''Event View message'' No rhtml, rxml, rjs or delegate template found for spec/rails/ view_spec/_info

hi all i''m trying to pass a variable name right round the block and need a hand to ease my aching brain. ##in my sidebar i have <li><%= SidebarItem(''catalogue'') %></li> <li><%= SidebarItem(''provenance'') %></li> <li><%= SidebarItem(''status'') %></li> ##linked to a

Right now I have partials in a view folder corresponding with my controller. ie: controller: example, view: example/_partial.rhtml and I call it with render :partial => ''partial'' How do I add the partial to another folder and call it? ie: controller: example, view: example/new_folder/_partial.rhtml render :partial => ''new_folder/partial'' # does NOT work

Hello, I am running into issues using *_path() and *_url() helpers the Facebooker Publisher framework. I encounter the following error when using these helpers while *inside of a partial*: undefined method `default_url_options'' for ActionView::Base:Class I''ve seen a few other people speak about this issue, yet I haven''t seen any resolution on the mailing list yet.

For me to keep my application DRY i need to be able to have partials that can be accessed from two views. How is would I go about doing this?

Hi all! I am coding an application that keeps track of request to create college courses. An identified user (logically a faculty member) completes a form indicating the name of the course, the professor in charge, the course''s code, the date and place, the possible coprofessors and TAs and the type of website he or she wants to use as a teaching help (WebCT, Sakai, etc.). I have two

There is a warning on the web site about expect_render and stub_render: "WARNING: expect_render and stub_render, while very useful, act differently from standard Message Expectations (a.k.a. mock expectations), which would never pass calls through to the real object. This can be very confusing when there are failures if you''re not aware of this fact, because some calls will be

In an attempt to provide a gracefully degradable link_to_remote, I repeat myself every time: <%= link_to_remote(''Signup'', {:url => {:controller => ''user'', :action => ''signup''}}, {:href => url_for(:controller => ''user'', :action => ''signup'')}) %> Looked around the RDoc &

Hi, I have a page containing 3 views (2 are partials). One of the partials needs to have a button that will clear a table called "messages" in the database. I can put a button like this "<%= button_to "Clear Messages", :action => ''clear_messages'' %>" and have the controller do "Message.delete_all". But the problem is that the

I''m trying to figure out how multiple partials in one page would be configured when they are based on some action in the controller. As an example - I have a main/welcome page. If someone new or a user not logged in arrives at this page I display both a registration form and a login form. However, if they are logged in then those forms should not show up on that page. Also should

Hello - I''m grappling with some tricky URL rewriting with Apache 2 and mod_rewrite, and could use a hand. Briefly: URL for application is: www.servername.com/path/to/app/ There is no Alias directive; the application is in the directory /www/content/path/to/app/ on the server file system. The FastCGI dispatcher (dispatch.fcgi) lives at: /www/fcgi-bin/path/to/app/dispatch.fcgi Inside

Hi, I have four controllers: one for the store front and three for the store admin. In each controller I have copied and pasted exactly the same code. It is a method called redirect_to() to override Action Controller''s redirect_to(). Copy and paste is bad. I can think of two options but I don''t know how Rails will feel about them. Option 1: Can I create an intermediate

Hi, I''m developing an application that uses a layout called main on every page. Most of the individual pages are represented with a single partial template, but there are several pages that are composed of multiple partials. My main layout looks something like this: Code: <html> <head> <title><%= @title %></title> <%= stylesheet_link_tag

Maybe I''m misunderstanding something but it appears as if <%= render :partial => @items, @locals => { :this => ''that'' } %> does not give the local variable this but this one does: <%= render :partial => ''items/item'', :collection => @items, @locals => { :this => ''that'' } %> Shouldn''t they mean

Hi! I have to include javascript code into my partial but I should do it once. How can I do that? What is the rule of thumb? G?bor

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>

I''m starting now with rails, and i have simply question i think. I need to render two partials in one ajax call: I have the following controller: # GET /hosts/1 # GET /hosts/1.json def show @host = Host.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| format.html #show.html format.js format.json { render :json => @host } end

Hi All, I have some partials that need to be rendered a bit differently depending on the context. To make matters worse, sometimes these partials are including other partials, that I''d like to control from the main template. These partials are templates that look similar in different contexts, but have different controls depending on where they''re being rendered. I

(Just getting started w rails, web app dev for a long time...) I have some partials that are common across multiple controllers. They''re not universal, so they don''t belong to be part of these controllers'' layouts. It appears that I can put them at the root of /views/, and render them using a relative path, like so: <%= render :partial => "./footer"

Hi I am using a ''master'' layout in my project by putting "layout ''main''" in my application controller so that the same layout is applied to every controller and I would like to use partials in the layout file (obeying DRY, of course!) but if I render a partial in the layout then whenever the layout is rendered by a controller the layout looks for
