similar to: Posting a form to a secure target?

In both url_for and link_to, the :only_path param can be used to determine whether the link url used is complete with hostname and path, or just has the path (a kind of relative url). However, in url_for it defaults to false (urls with hostnames), and in link_to it defaults to true ( urls without hostnames, just paths). Is there any reason for this discrepency? To me, it violates the principle

All, I would like to test some secure pages that I''m developing in my WEBrick-based development environment. I''ve done some research and it appears that I need to create a new command that will start a HTTPS based WEBrick server. Is this correct? Also, it appears that the https.rb module is not included with the WEBrick bundled in Rails. So, I will need to go get that

I am doing an Ajax call in my page to a controller method like so: new Ajax.Request(''<%= url_for(:action => "target_list_add" )%>'', { asynchronous:true });" In my controller method "target_list_add", I do something and then I say: redirect_to( :action => ''target_list_upload'', :layout => false ) I know for certain

I have a pre-existing form with one existing "SUBMIT" tag generated by <%= submit_tag %> I would like to add another <INPUT type="submit" ...> to my form. How do I successfully associate that <INPUT> tag with a different controller action than the default one specified by my <%= start_form_tag %>? Or does this approach even make sense? In RoR, is

I''ve got a form that should post to user/login. The code to start the tag is: <%= start_form_tag { :controller => "user", :action => "login" } %> That gives me this exception: compile error script/../config/../app/views/user/login.rhtml:1: parse error, unexpected tASSOC, expecting ''}'' _erbout = ''''; _erbout.concat((

Hiall, I want to give the action of a form an additional parameters but can''t figure out how to do it. My code looks like this <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create'', next_step => true %> <%= render :partial => ''user_form'' %> <%= render :partial => ''community_form'' %> <%= submit_tag

All, I have a link that used to work but now generates a routing error. The link URL is a straightforward controller/action/id and of course, I have map.connect '':controller/:action/:id'' in my routes.rb file. When I click on this link, I get a routing error. What''s potentially interesting about this URL is that the controller name is mixed case. Class is

I would like to set up some my app. to display a standalone HTML page - not rendered through RoR per se. Something like render(:inline => some_Javascript_function... then in the Javascript some_Javascript_function, I want to open up a popup with the URL I specify. However, because it is a relative URL, it is going through the RoR routing algorithm. I don''t want that - can I

I generate a lot of URL''s in my Facebook related code that point to our main site, not our FB app. My understanding was that the way to do this was to use ":canvas => false" as a parameter to url_for and link_to and so on. However, that doesn''t seem to generate the proper URL''s. The URL''s still point to apps.facebook.com (because they

Hi, All. I try to relocate controllers. Admin space controlers moved to /app/controllers/admin and user space controllers to /app/controllers/user In routes.rb I use map.connect ''search'', :controller => ''user/search'' that correct I see. But when I want to use start_form_tag or simply url_for, that used in start_form_tag, I do not know how generate url

All, Thanks for any help in advance. I have what I think is a very straightforward partial template and I can''t figure out why a text_field call within it doesn''t work. Here is my calling template: lists.rhtml <div id="target_lists"> <%= render(:partial => "target_lists", :collection => @target_lists) %> </div> In the partial

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the

(setup is canvas, fbml) So I have: facebook config http://myurl:myport/face/ My controllers name is face, so I dont even need a manual route, for the landing page it works like a charm. but, when I try to make

Thank you to everybody that has helped me since I signed up. I''m flying along thanks to you. I have a question about the FormTagHelper "start_form_tag": I''ve been trying to figure out how to get Rails to output a "name" attribute for my form so I can hook in a Javascript to focus on a field inside of it on load, but it doesn''t look like I can do

Hi there, I''ve added an extra bunch of testing features for doing in-browser testing with Selenium, and am having quite a time figuring out how to use url_for with having a controller object present. I''ve tried using ActionController::Base.url_for and ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper.url_for but haven''t been able to get something that works. What I want to be able

It would be great if someone could give some assistance. Thanks a lot, Alex <%= start_form_tag :action1 => ''save'', :action2 =>

I don''t want to put certain code in my controller because I think it makes things more confusing. What is the best way to manage business logic such that it doesn''t end up in the controller? Basically, where should I put my regular utility classes and backing objects that may not be models? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
