similar to: Sharing code between some controllers? Staying DRY

I am writing a controller admin/cities_controller.rb it inherits from AdminController, so it''s defined like class Admin::CitiesController > AdminController Whenever I save the controller file, autotest freaks out: uninitialized constant Admin::AdminController (NameError) I''m pretty used to just hitting CTRL-C to get autotest to re-load all the files, or flicking to

Hi there, I wondered if anybody had any experience with having nested controllers?For example, I''d like a hierarchy something like this: /product /product/list /product/detail /product/detail/category I can''t find any documentation on this, so any advice/experience anybody might have would prove useful. N.B. This is for a generator which builds Views and Controllers

class WebsocketController < WebsocketRails::BaseController private def authenticate? unless current_user.token == message[:token] current_redirect_to ''home/index'' false # that here we need to do to stop the further execution? end end end class WorldsController < WebsocketController before_action :authenticate? def index

Hello, I''m working through the tutorial, and I''ve run into a little snag. In the first part of the tutorial, the destroy link is not working correctly. I can''t figure out where I goofed. Removing :confirm doesn''t seem to resolve the issue. Thanks, Randy. development.log ----->8----- Processing AdminController#destroy (for 127.0.0.1 at 2006-04-27

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

Hi, It seems there must be a better way to do this than what I am currently doing. I have a simple app that collects a users thoughts along with their email address and their first an last name. On a page that lists all the users thoughts they can click on a link to "add a thought" which then displays a form with ajax. My current methodology for this is not very dry. If js is

Im still following the authorization recipe from the book, now all works fine but im getting trouble in how handle the model authorization result, if the user and pass are correct, it goes to a welcome screen(admin.rhtml) but if wrong the model prints a message in an ugly exception like page "usr and pass not correct", i want to redirect the user to the login

I am aware that controllers can be placed in modules: ruby script/generate controller modulename/controllername But what does this buy me? Is it just a way of ensuring that my source code is nicely arranged, or can I use the fact that a set of controllers are all within a particular model to implement functionality common to all of those controllers? Why am I asking? The app

I wonder if there is a standard Rails way to redirect from an action back to a previously viewed page. As a quick fix I created two little methods in the controllers/application.rb. Does this seem like an ok way to go? Thanks, Peter class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base def i_was_here session[:i_was_here] = request.env[''REQUEST_URI''] end def

Hi All I wanted a little advice on the convention for namespace usage and organisation of code. I originally used PHP and often had an "admin" backend that performed the various admin tasks with users, and data Then I had a front-end often situated at the root that had user services. I''m trying to emulate this in Rails but feel I''m missing a significant point here and

Hi, I am having a problem saving a new model that has an associated child model. If a new ticket is being created and will have one comment to go with it then I tried this in my action @ticket = Ticket.new(params[:ticket]) @comment = Comment.new(params[:comment]) @ticket.comments << @comment if @ticket.save @notice = "Ticket added.

Dear RoR Community My new RoR experience went really smooth for some time until I got stuck with a seemingly easy problem and the more I have tried to read about it (PickAxe, Agile WD, forum, etc.) the more confused I got! What I have done so far as a newbie is to use the scaffold and then build my own ideas around it. What I am trying to do now is allow/disallow an action in the input form

Hello. I will appreciate the opinion. What is the standard way of separating admin functions from normal- user functions? before_filter in one controller? Use two controllers, i.e. ProductController and Admin/ ProductController? I want to use map.resources so RESTFul would be better. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to

Hi All So I am a first-time caller ;-) ... and have been trying to apply RSpec to the depot example in Dave Thomas'' book as I build the application. I am having a problem testing the admin controller create method and cannot quite see where I am going wrong so was hoping for a pointer :-) My spec looks like: describe AdminController do before(:each) do @product =

Hi, The user/login management system in Chapter 31: Authenticating Your Users and Chapter 32: Authorizing Users with Roles of Chad Fowler''s Rails Recipes looks reasonable and adequate. However, when I ran the Chapter 31 code, I get the following error: Username or password invalid And I am not even given the chance to sign in; that is, the signin form does not appear at all. Has

Hi, im building a little cms and i want to separate the admin zone controllers in a subfolder(controllers/admin) if possible to all be managed by one login module, i just have managed simple 3 or 4 controller apps so any help you can give me will be very apreciated. ;) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I remember reading somewhere a tip on improving your search engine ranking, by forming URLs that included relevant text, e.g. www.domain.com/article/man_eats_hat. In the rails app that I''m writing, I''ve noticed I can set this up very easily by appending the post title (after downcase.split.join(''_'')) to the post link. So, blog.com/posts/4 can easily also be

For a while i''ve been storing image in my PHP apps in the filesystem, but with the potential for a Rails project coming up i thought it was time for a review :0) In everyone''s experience, is it best to store uploaded images in the db or just stick them on the filesystem with a reference in the db? I''ve seen various performance tests and security arguments for and
