similar to: embedding link_to''s as part of rendered text.

Hi, I have the following problem that I can''t seem to figure out. I want to able to fetch some text from my database record in my controller, and then add two links within the text and then send that back to the view to get rendered so that the two links appear as links and when clicked on, they''d basically call the corresponding action for the link. Would anybody know how to

Hi, I have a bunch of link_to''s in my code that are simple Back buttons that should basically just go to the previous request. Is there a way of doing this without specifying the action to execute? The problem is, sometimes I may render the same view through separate actions so I wouldn''t know which action to go back to. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

I''ve checked the Rails documentation but find no mention of link_to ''external url'' or equivalent. Does rails have a built in method to do this? thanks -Lindsay -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m calling a helper I''ve written - format_time() that is called from my views with a given time that was selected from my database and was returned to the view via an instance variable. When I call format_time from a partial, I see that I get some kind of String error and the partial won''t render. Basically, the object being passed in to format_time is already a

Hi, Got a question about how the book suggests sending POST requests using a form whenever one intents to change some database state. So I converted a bunch of links to forms which ended up creating buttons. I was wondering if there was a way to keep them links rather than buttons but still use POST in a form? thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, In my link_to''s, i''m adding the additional parameter :post => ''true'' whenever I expect to change database state on the server. Problem is, when I look at the incoming requests, I see that they are all coming in as GET requests instead of POST requests. Also, the link adds post=true as a name value parameter in the URL as it would with GET requests. I

Hi, Is session[:return_to] something Rails maintains to quickly go back to the previous uri without having to keep track of the action name? Or, do we have to actually set it in our actions?

Hi, I''m working on a web app that allows users to submit links to external sites. I''m curious if there are any special security considerations I should take aside from escaping the user input with h( )? Is it safe to directly link_to h(user_inputted_url), h(user_inputted_url) or could that be exploited in a way that I''m not thinking of. Thanks. -------------- next

Hi, While viewing part of a long list of records, the user may want to do a Find of a specific record (for example, find_by_name). The found record is then displayed using the list view. I''ve searched the wiki and couldn''t find a sample or information that will help directly in implementing this function. Any pointers? Thanks! gk -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi There I started using Rails recently, and I see it''s very easy for URLs that have up to 3 levels: /:controller/:action/:id But what do you do when you need more than 3? For example, my current project should have an "admin" interface. Admin has several sub-interfaces, for example a "users" interface. And the admin/users interface has several actions, e.g.

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew what ''<some type> expected, got Fixnum'' means? My code looks like the following: begin anevent = Event.new anevent.title = params["event"]["title"] anevent = session[:user_id] com = Community.find(params[:id]) com.events << anevent rescue Exception => exc ... end But I get an

Hey I need some help with pagination and the link_to in the view. I''m trying to include a hash in the pagination link_to params and it keeps flattening out my hash. Example: Here''s my hash called @answer: "answer"=>{"6"=>"9bf31c7ff062936a96d3c8bd1f8f2ff3", "7"=>"6f4922f45568161a8cdf4ad2299f6d23"}

Hi , I was trying to use link_to along with image_tag to setup a link that would open in an external window. But I was unable to make a link using both text & an image So my current workaround looks like this inside a partial where link is http://foo.com & text would be descriptive <img src="images/arrow.gif" border="0"/> <%= link_to(text, link, :popup

Hello, there: I wish A link to invoke such a action together with the parameter "zh_CN" "cookies/switch_language/zh_CH" to switch language sellection, and I use the following code: <%= link_to ''Chinese'', :controller => ''cookies'', :action => ''switch_lang'' %> But, how is "link_to" able to convey

Hello- I would like to know what the suggested practice is for having multiple submit buttons on a relatively complicated input page. Let''s use the example of a Contact. There is lots of info there, including name, address, phone number. There is also a list of "contact associations" which can be modified on the same page. Ideally, the user could have one

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

Hi, I wonder why scaffolding uses a link_to tag for the destroy links. Seems like these should be POST requests with button_to. The Rails book dedicates pages 335-337 to this very issue. Peter
