I have an AccountsController that inherits from ApplicationController. In ApplicationController I define a generic layout. In this layout I render @title that is actually assigned in the AccountsController but has a default value in ApplicationController. In the layout template, I also have the standard contents_for_layout and lastly, I have a render_component. The component called from the

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

Hi, Is there some way to produce an anchor that looks like the following using helpers, or should I just code it in the rhtml like this? <a href="#" onmousedown="javascript:foo(); return false"> Thanks, Brad -- Bradley Mazurek

Hi, Just got my first Mac. I''m trying to install rails on it, using the instructions in the rails wiki: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallOnOSXTigerUsingDarwinPorts I go to install mysql, and the version of mysql supported by DarwinPorts appears to be 4.1.18. But all the sites appear to only have 4.1.19 or 4.1.20. So it looks like DarwinPorts is over a month out

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

I''m trying to marshal some information I have in Javascript, and send it over an AJAX request to the server, specifically to be stored in a model on the server side. I have some Javascript routines I wrote that gather information about the user selection. I see that the link_to_remote has a :before option in which I can write Javascript to collect what I need, but right now I''m

Hi, I haven''t done any associations before, so please forgive my incorrect use of terminology... If I set up a has_many :through association, can I manipulate the associated instances directly (like an Array), or do I need to manipulate the join model? For example, suppose I have two classes and the associated join model: class foo has_many :foo_bars has_many :bars, :through

Cheers, I''ve stumbled over a bug with 1.0 and ActiveRecord store for session while migrating from pstore sessions. I created the table with `rake create_sessions_table` and set `config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store` in environment.rb. Everything runs fine except that the flash messages will not be cleared. I get the same message everytime on everypage I

okay. on /posts/show/13 i have show.rhtml, which does render_component(:controller=>''comments'', :action=>''display_comments'', :id=>post.id) on comments/display_comments i iterate through the comments and then, display_comments.rhtml render_component(:controller=>''comments'', :action=>''new'', :id=>@id)

I have a pretty standard partial for my sidebar that I want to display the login form etc if the user is not logged in and if they are then display the relevant links. As far as I can tell, calling render :partial does not trigger methods in the controller class. So how do I get application data into the partial. The partial is invoked by the layout, which doesn''t have access to

I''ve been fighting with a Double Render Error. I have some sidebar partials that I render to strings in my application controller''s before_filter: @left_sidebar_for_layout = render_to_string(:partial => ''shared/left_sidebar'') Then in my application layout, I simply add them as a string, like I would @content_for_layout This normally works fine. However,

I''m stumped on what seems like should be a fairly easy thing, so I hope someone can point out my error. I wanted to show a few things on every page, so I added an application level template in "layouts". I added my styles in there, and put the controller name and action name into the TITLE tag for my own reference. So far so good - works like expected. Then I wanted to

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''m trying: @master_id = @params[''master_id''] in the components controller but it is not working. ==== Details: In my calling view I have: <%= h(@opportunity.id) %> <div

Hi everyone. Sorry if it is not the place to post questions about webgen. I use webgen5, i know it is not the stable version but i couldn''t understand how webgen4 worked, it''s easier with webgen5, and i won''t have to change my pages when it becomes mainstream ;) I try to build my homepage using webgen, and there are some things i don''t know how to do (i am sure

I''m working on a simple photo gallery app for personal use and I want to generalize the sidebar such that in any page (controller or view, I''m not sure which) I can dynamically add either 1. links to a given sidebar 2. or an entire sidebar. I know that typo does this, and I''ve looked the code. I think it''s too complex a solution for my simple site.

I am confused about the @content_for_layout.''cause it will display all the views in the layout.Do I have any methods to let the layout be more OO? I mean that for example,the app currently have more than one views to be displayed,but only some of them to be displayed at the same time at different <div></div> units. I hope there exists a kind of way that: <%= if

Is a component supposed to be able to call another component (which presumably could call another component)? Brad -- Bradley Mazurek

My code is something like this. class FirstController < ApplicationController def foo #some processing render (:controller => ''second'', :action => ''index'') end end I tried using both render and redirect but it seems it''s not possible to send the control from within a controller to some other controller. Am I missing something

What is the difference between the render(:partial => ''article'') and render_component? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m wondering if there is a simple solution to call a method once per page request. I tried to place my call in a before_filter in ApplicationController but it''d called a second time if I use render_component from a view. Seems to me that a hook should be added in Dispatcher#prepare_application. Context: working on i18n, I''m trying to check lang either from uri,
