similar to: render_component includes layout

I feel I am very close to understanding how layouts are used in Rails: Q1. I know one can specify a "default" layout for all methods in a controller by specifying layout ''my-default-layout'' How can this be overridden for individual methods so when those methods are called/executed, the overridden layout will be used. Is this possible? Q2. With no

Hi I''ve got a login action that handles authenticating users, setting cookies and, via its view, displaying an HTML snippet containing a form with username and password fields. It''s called from the main application.rhtml layout so I don''t need to have a seperate page (away from the main site) with a login form. My user model is more-or-less the same as in the Agile RoR

Hi All, Silly newb question. Is there a reason why :layout is unimplemented in render_component() ? I''m looking at a situation where that would *seem* to be the right answer. Are there any patches available to add this? JK

Hello, i have one layout file for all controllers. I would like to have news list on each page. So, i put <%= render_component :controller => "news", :action => "list" %> , to my layout file.

Hello all. Am relatively new to RoR and I am pondering how to do something without using components since they appear to be "coda non grata". I have a standard layout that is used by all controllers. In this layout I want to list the next 5 events that are upcoming based on todays date. These events are currently stored in the Event model (created using scaffolding). Currently only

trying to build an archive page in the controller layout file, i render_component(:action => "archive"), and that works fine. i turned render(:layout => false) within the "archive" function. trouble is, and here''s my confusion. as a test, i simply write def archive render(:layout => false) @archives = ''test'' end

Hello, Maybe this is super-trivial... I need to have a list of links on the left hand side of my application, for *every* single page. So, I''ve created a layout called "main" (main.rhtml) under view/layouts, and included >layout "main"< in pretty all of my controllers. main.rhtml has, amongst all the other HTML stuff: <%= render_component

I''m calling render_component in a helper. render_component :controller => target_controller, :action => "show", :id => target_id This works fine, except that passing the id in :params didn''t work and I had to pass in an explicit :id parameter to get the target controller to override the id - is that documented anywhere? That''s not my question. My

Hi, I''m trying to write a sidebar menu with dynamic menus, and to do so I would like to define a list of menus to display within my sidebar component controller code and pass that list to the component display view, like so: # menu_controller.rb class Sidebar::MenuController < ActionController::Base uses_component_template_root @menus = %w{admin user help} def display

Hello, My main application layout, app/views/layout/application.rhtml looks like this: something render partial_1 something else render partial_2 something else render partial_3 The partials are not really doing anything, i use them to keep the layout modular (i.e . to have ~30 lines instead of 200). Now, the question is where to put _partial_1.rhtml, _partial_2.rhtml, _partial_3.rhtml. If i am

I''d like a controller to use a specific layout for all its views. Right now I''m calling `render :layout => ''foo''` in each method, but there must be a better way. I tried class Users < Application layout ''foo'' end And that definitely doesn''t work. Then, as a test, I tried setting _layout within a method, like this: def

Maybe I''m missing the point? Lets take for example albums of pictures. If I have a scaffold for each, and I''m showing an album, what if I want to list all of the pictures that are in the album? Surely, I''d want to call the List action in the picture controller. render_component would do this perfectly. But we''re told not to use render_component. So

Hey, I couldn''t find answer for this question for quite long, I hope some one will explain to me why layout specified in application.rb is not displayed properly on all views? I mean some divs are displayed wrong or without layout at all... let''s say login.rhtml has layout on its own and now it works ( exactly this same as project.rhtml which is layout for the whole

I see from http://rubyonrails.org/api/classes/ActionController/Components.html that is possible to pass paramaters to a component. I don''t understand the exact syntax.

I am currently using 2 layouts in my site. One is for the admin area. I am trying to get content in my sidebar to change depending upon the current controller. Example: Within admin I have a users controller and a articles controller. When in the users view I want the sidebar to display options (like add user delete user etc). What is the best actionview way to do this. I don''t

Hi, Is there a way to call a controller/action pair from another controller as well as render the view for that pair? I have tried using "render ''ctrl/action''" and that works, but the controller code isn''t called (only the view is rendered). A redirect_to isn''t desirable either as I want the resulting content to be rendered in the current
