similar to: What is the difference between render partial and component?

I''m writing a CMS/portal system, and I''m having trouble coming up with a way of routing requests that feels right without using render :component (which I''ve read should never be used). The system works like this: Each user has a set of "pages" which are shown as navigation tabs on the page. The user may rename, reorder, add, or delete pages for a custom

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 have a shopping cart function, and I''d like to set it up to update the cart with AJAX. My AJAX call will return a view that displays the cart items.

In Depot, the demo application in the the Agile book, actions that modify the model such as add_to_cart redirect to another action that has a clear view role, like index, or show_cart, instead of generating the view themselves. This uses an HTTP redirect that goes to the client and returns. Is this an idiomatic way to design the flow in Rails? -- fxn

I see in the new Agile Rails 2nd edition that components are going out of style? Is this so? has anybody abandoned the idea of components for helpers?

I thought that components, since they have the logic in the controller and

Hello, what is the preferred way to do this... I have 2 controllers. Each has an index action. Now I want to include the rendered index view from TwoController in the index view of OneController. But a render :partial doesn''t execute the TwoController index action which sets variables for its index view. So maybe you can give me a short example how to do it. Thank you Markus

Hi all, I have the shopping cart page where a user can add items dynamically through ajax as explained in Railscast episode 75.

Hi All, Anyone know if there is a way to detect whether a request came from a render_component call? There isn''t anything obvious from looking at the source, but it would be useful as I have set up a logging filter in my application.rb, and I''d prefer to exclude all component renders, since they just add extra lines to my log (I guess I could exclude identical rows at the db
