similar to: access a ActionControllers protected method from plugin?

How can I call render_to_string outside of a controller. I''m stuck on this. I''ve nearly got my plugin finished but I can''t seem to get this to work. The method is in ActionController::Base but it is protected. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

ActsAsBlog ========== Here is a simple plugin to allow you to allow the use of RedCloth,BlueCloth, or SmartyPants in your blog. It''s super simple to use. It will take your blog post or comment and transform it into html. This allows you to write in a much simpler syntax and allows your users to post valid html into their comment. It also allows you to block all html tags that

I am trying to write a plugin, ''acts_as_commentable'', for my models - Image, Book, Music and so on, I do not want to use polymorphic association, so very model should have its own comment class. Here is my code acts_as_commentable.rb module Commentable def self.included(base) base.extend(ClassMethods) end module ClassMethods def

hey folks I''ve installed the plugin acts_as_taggable_on_steroids (henceforth aatos), and i already have some tagging functionality set up, using the same approach (ie a Tag and a Tagging class with associated tables) as aatos. So, i want my existing Tag and Taggings methods, plus some other methods i have in a module which i include with the taggable classes (ie the ones that would call

I''m writing my own plugin and all the plugins I''ve seen use class_eval in the method that is called in the including module. For example: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToWriteAnActsAsFoxPlugin module Foo module Acts #:nodoc: module Fox #:nodoc: def self.included(base) base.extend(ClassMethods) end # declare the class level

Gents, I''m using the acts_as_taggable rails plugin (not gem), and would like to add some additional methods to it. For example, the find_tagged_with methods essentially does a find tag in a list (effectively an OR), while I''d like to implement a find_tagged_with_all method that would implement an AND (so if I specified 4 tags, it would only return items that were

Hi, Just wondering when one would use "include" over "extend"? Both seem to bring in methods to the class no? The context is I''m just trying to understand why both are used with the acts_as_audited plugin: Full extract from plugin (used within here): ================================================== # Copyright (c) 2006 Brandon Keepers # # Permission is hereby

I''m working on a plug-in which has to manipulate some session varibles Unfortunately I end up with "Symbol as array index" errors. Probably the error occurs in a point that I never think about but here''s an abstract plug-in which generates the same error. It fails in the line of assignment "session[:aaa_uid] = uid" with "Symbol as array index"

Hi all ! I''d like to confirm if I''m reading correctly. It seems ActiveRecord::Acts::Taggable::SingletonMethods#find_tagged_with is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks: def find_tagged_with(options = {}) options = { :separator => '' '' }.merge(options) tag_names = ActiveRecord::Acts::Taggable.split_tag_names(options[:any] || options[:all],

hi, I started today to use the acts as taggable plugin and it''s working as expected. I added a method find_tagged_with_all since I needed to find the elements tagged with all the items in a list while find_tagged_with finds all the elements tagged with any of the list terms. Attached to this mail there''s a patch which adds the find_tagged_with_all method and which solves a

Hi, i try to understand how plugins work in detail. Often you see stuff like: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base   acts_as_commentable end I wonder what''s happen all there. What kind of language-feature is behind this call "acts_as_commentable" ? In my opinion you need some kind of extend or include to extend the functionality of a model. And exactly this is which i found

I have run into a very strange problem discovered through the use of the acts_as_taggable plugin, but related to quoting/sanitizing the interpolated list in a find_by_sql. Apologies for the length, but I wanted to be complete. ;-) The method from acts_as_taggable.rb is: def find_tagged_with(list) find_by_sql(["SELECT #{table_name}.* FROM #{table_name}, tags,

Hi!
