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

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

Ive tried multiple ideas to get this to work, but keep hitting a dead end. Has anyone done this before? I want joe.domain.com to display www.domain.com/profile/joe Im using lighttpd. Routes dont have access to the URL string and therefore I cant code in a conditional. lighttpd rewrite seems to really screw it all up. Is there a feasible solution? Thank you, Joe Noon

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

I was wondering if rails had any means of restricting access to an action in a controller (like they can''t type in url.com/cont/action, that would throw an error). The thing is I would like to be able to access this method/action through a call to render_component, so therefore, I don''t think private methods will work. So basically I am looking for something that cannot be

I have an application that worked fine, but after the recent updates has broken in some calls to render_component from views. I might be missing something but as far as I remember Rails updates is the only thing I''ve done in between. See the log: *** START LOG SNIPPET Start rendering component ({:params=> {:center_id=>10, :id=>25},

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 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

Hi! After searching the list''s history an the rails-wiki I come to the conclusion that the subject of "which software to use for rails-coding" isn''t disucssed and written down yet. So here is my question: Watching a video like http://rubyonrails.org/media/video/clips/components.mov five question come to my mind 1. Whats the name of the commendline-software? 2. What

Using Rails 1.1.2 and ruby 1.8.4 I''m having a weird issue with the flash when using render_component for an action inside different controller than the one from which you render. I''m passing an object via flash across a couple of actions (new and create) behind the scenes using flash.keep(:object). It works fine if the component I''m rendering is in the same

Hi I''m working on a program which relies on heavy cache sweeper usage. I''ve just bumped onto an odd problem. When using render_component method in layouts or templates with cache sweeping turned on, Rails throws an exception with the following message: NoMethodError in TestController#index You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occured while

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
