similar to: Routing to a static HTML file under RAILS_ROOT

All, I have a route specified as: map.connect '':folder/:filename'', :folder => /htmlfiles/, :controller => "eSimply", :action => "preview_HTML" I expect it to invoke the "preview_HTML" action in the "eSimply" controller. Given an argument of "htmlfiles/xyz.html", it keeps saying that it can''t find an

I have a side navigation bar with links embedded in it like the following: <%= link_to( ''Create Job'', { :controller => ''eSimply'', :action => ''upload'' }) %> This link now shows a routing exception Recognition failed for "/eSimply/upload" This link has worked for over through Rails

All, So I''ve discovered that when running on FastCGI with Apache and the working directory for the process is actually the "public" directory under RAILS_ROOT. Is there a way to force the current working directory to be RAILS_ROOT for the FastCGI procs so that file manipulation would then be done relative to RAILS_ROOT? Or should I just make sure that all of my paths are

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 am trying to put some smarts around a call to <%= error_messages_for %> so that when I first come into this page i.e. when my instance variable @target_list has not been defined yet, the page doesn''t break. I''m doing this: <% if @target_list? %> <%= error_messages_for ''target_list'' %> <% end %> I get a syntax error on line 1.

All, At the top of my controller, I have: require ''rubygems'' require_gem ''rubyful_soup'' The rubyful_soup gem has been successfully installed. However, when I go to instantiate a class from it, using parser = BeautifulSoup.new(html) I get uninitialized constant BeautifulSoup Is there something else I need to do to see the symbols in the Rubyful Soup gem?

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

I have an application where I am allowing users to upload (or refer the app. to) arbritrary HTML that I am (currently) displaying in an IFRAME on a page. The users will be authenticated so it''s not open to the entire universe. I was always uneasy with this, but after reading the security chapter of AWDWR, I am even more concerned. What kinds of applications do people have out there

All, I''m building model objects for existing tables that I cannot modify. In AWDWR, Dave says "Note that our join table has no id column...The second reason for not including an id column in the join table is that AR automatically includes all columns from the join tables when accessing rows using it. If the join table included a column called id, its id would overwrite the id

I''m attempting to store a value that''s dependent on an environment variable in a custom .yml file, like so: job_folder: "#{RAILS_ROOT}/jobs" Doesn''t seem to like that. Is there any way for me to have access to the RAILS_ROOT environment variable from inside of my configuration file? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I created a modules directory under my app. root (RAILS_ROOT/app) I''m trying to "require in" a module in that directory into my controller. I tried require ''modules/module.rb'' I tried require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/modules/ESimplyUtil" The module file is in modules/ESimplyUtil.rb. Is that the right name? Neither of these works. How can I

All, I want to run automated unit tests as part of my build. I am building to my test environment. Upon successful completion of all of my unit tests, I would then like to load some data (using a fixture, I imagine) into my test database that will act as fresh "system test" data for my users to play with. What is the best way to "load the standard system test/user acceptance

All, Apache 2/FastCGI on Linux My fastcgi config. file is set up to run the "test" RAILS_ENV. When I go to access a view associated with a particular controller, I keep getting a ENOENT (file not found) error on a custom config. file that I am attempting to load. What I can''t figure out is why it can''t find the file. Here''s the code that loads it in my

All, I am attempting to do an IO.read call on a file inside of one of my model objects. I keep getting Errno::ENOENT The path I''m passing to IO.read is relative to RAILS_ROOT. Two questions: 1) This code was previously executing in my controller - it it significant that I moved it into my model? 2) Is there some way to verify which directory is the current directory for the

All, I''ve run into a snag. I need to handle the display of elements on my page and I want to use my Javascript event handlers on page load. However, my BODY tag is trapped in my generic layout. I''m thinking that I can put an onLoad on the BODY tag that will just call a Javascript method called initializePage() and then provide this initializePage() call in my specific page

All, In a template, I have <%= text_field :target_list, :DateReceived, { :title => ''uploaded_at'', :class => ''target_list_info'', :disabled => ''true'' } %> Here is the DateReceived method on my

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

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

The ActionMailer/ActionPack gem release is still screwed up. Does someone test the gem releases to ensure that they work? Just an idea. Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
