similar to: Problem rendering components

Hi, I''m relatively new to ruby and rails. I would like to have a sidebar component call one of several other constituent components. I''ve run into some problems, and so I''ve pruned things back to a relatively simple case. I have a sidebar component. Renders great.

Hi, this is my first post to the list. I''m still learning the rails framework, having done most of my previous web development in PHP. I''ve done a bit of googling for the answer to this question, but maybe I''m just lacking the right word to search for. Several parts of my site, such as sidebar components, are self-contained, modularized and re-used in several parts

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

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

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.

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 have a primary layout that I''m using in several controllers. On my sidebar I have a link that I set up as follows: <div id="sidebar"> <%= link_to("Items", :action => "list") %> </div> Everything is ok when I call it from my primary controller, but since I am also calling the layout from a second controller that does

Any ideas how I would go about writing specs for views which make use of content_for? I''d like, for example, to be able to specify that ABC view places XYZ in the sidebar, which I do using content_for(:sidebar). Am I missing something obvious? Kyle

I have been tidying up bits of the Wiki. This one is not clear cut, so I decided to seek advice. Also, I wasn't sure where to post this question, so defaulted to ogg-dev.

Hi Daniel, I made some changes to the LNT perf reporting tool to make it more user friendly by adding some features: 1. Make the sidebar and the navigation bar stationary, so that it is easy to navigate the site 2. Have the pop-down menu for the items in the navigation bar, activate upon hovering the mouse, rather than clicking the item 3. Add a nav-link in the sidebar for the
