When working with views, I use instance methods of ApplicationHelper: # app/helpers/application_helper.rb: module ApplicationHelper def distribute(total, min, cutof, list) [1,2,3] end end # app/views/planner/_mta_colors.rhtml: <td> <% ... dist = distribute(total_v_px, 4, 0, colors.collect{|color| color[1]}) ... %> So to test the distribute method in ApplicationHelper, I have

i have: # file application_helper.rb module ApplicationHelper def load_components @right_sidebar = ''some stuffs'' end end # file user_public/blog_helper.rb module UserPublic::BlogHelper def load_components ApplicationHelper.load_components @right_sidebar += ''{blog archive}'' end end the problem is, i want to load the

Hi, I''m trying to send some emails with the same formatting as my pages & I can''t seem to access my display routines in application_helper.rb. I''m trying a hack to bypass this. At the top of my ActionMailer notifier script I''ve included application_helper.rb - my understanding is that this should arrive as a module and should be able to be used

We''ve been having problems writing functional tests for helper methods that rely on ActionView methods. Here''s a specific example. In application_helper.rb I''ve got a method called ''party_link()¨: def party_link(party) link_to party.full_name, { :controller => ''contacts'', :action =>

Hi all, I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers. One of the helpers in app/helpers/application_helper.rb looks like this: def page_name @page_name || "Define @page_name in #{controller.controller_name}::#{controller.action_name}" end The rspec is simply: it "should something" do page_name end

Hello, I''m facing this problem while trying to extend the parse_redmine_links helper method in Redmine-1.1.0 (Rails-2.3.5) from my plugin. My idea is to use alias_method_chain so the extended version could call the original version and adjust the result to it''s liking. Anything I''ve tried so far exposes this behavior: the first render of a page uses the extended

What wrong? environment.rb require "will_paginate" application_helper.rb include WillPaginate::ViewHelpers def will_paginate_with_i18n(collection, options = {}) will_paginate_without_i18n(collection, options.merge(:previous_label => I18n.t(:previous), :next_label => I18n.t(:next))) end alias_method_chain :will_paginate, :i18n

Hello, I''m using Ruby 1.8.4 (darwinport), rails-1.0.0 (gem) , Powerbook / Mac OS X 10.4.5 , Webrick. How come Rails always raises NoMethodError for my helper (must_fill and rp or number_to_currency_rp) in application_helper.rb ? I doubt that alias_method is the culprit, but if i give # comment then there will be no errors at all ... :/ what am i doing wrong? is it a bug or stupid me? Thx

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test. I boiled my question down to a simple (not too useful) example. I''m not sure what I''m missing. #

Finally getting around to upgrading our application to Rails 1.1.2. Of course, nothing runs correctly after the upgrade. So far two major problems, perhaps related. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 1. We''re getting const_missing errors. Specifically when trying to use class constants in a custom helper method, being called from a layout template. The class constants were for

Hi all, i tried to set up the helper method "grouped_programs_selector" in application_helpers.rb. Since i dont have a deep understanding of Ruby itself, I pretty much copied the Grouped Selection List (Chapter 17, pp. 259, 260) example from Dave & David''s Book. The optiongroups are properly created by my method, but there are no options inside. Maybe you can debug this

Hi, I''m getting an error I just can''t find any cause for. The error is "A copy of ApplicationHelper has been removed from the module tree but is still active!" and gets thrown in a Template that uses a method defined in my ApplicationHelper. The error occurs only in development mode. The error did not occur before my switch to Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 2.1.2 minutes ago. I

Hi, I''m using the application_helper.rb file to create some useful functions for generating links by name. I understand that functions defined in this file are available to all views, but what about constants defined in that module? Is there a best practice approach for doing this other than accessing each constant via ApplicationHelper::FOO? Stu

Hi Guys, I''m having some trouble getting login_engine to work. I''ve followed the steps in the README file to the letter (I think) with the exception of the Mailer stuff and cannot get my application to run. Heres what I have; module ApplicationHelper include login_engine end ##################################### require ''login_engine'' class

... are they possible?, or better yet: Are they enhacements at all? First, make it possible to use the vars defined in the params file usable in the policy and shorewall.conf also. Second, make it possible to specify a pseudo log level like NULL, SWNULL (SW by Shorewall) or an appropiate name that would have the same effect as not specifying a log level at all. These modifications together

Hi there, I have seen in the file column plugin ( http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/) from Sebastian Kanthak or David''s acts_as_taggable plugin that to register my functionality I need to do something like this: ApplicationHelper.send(:include, InPlaceEditAssociations) I am wondering why not: (a) module ApplicationHelper include InPlaceEditAssociatons end or: (b)

Hi all I''m creating a shop page. I have a cart model that looks like the following: class Cart attr_reader :line_items def get_line_item id @line_items.each do |l| return l if l.id == id end end def initialize @line_items = [] end def empty! initialize end def empty? return true if @line_items.empty? false end end And I have some

I am a little confused by the includes I suspect. In the book, it states that runtime environment will load the directories app, app/models, app/controllers, app/helpers, app/apis, components, config, lib, vendor and vendor/rails/*. However, when I try to access my "current_project" public method, it fails with a NoMethodError. What is even stranger is that I can use reflection to find
