similar to: No layout for specific method

I feel I am very close to understanding how layouts are used in Rails: Q1. I know one can specify a "default" layout for all methods in a controller by specifying layout ''my-default-layout'' How can this be overridden for individual methods so when those methods are called/executed, the overridden layout will be used. Is this possible? Q2. With no

i''m working on a _post.rhtml partial, and it displays one blog post. i''m accessing this partial on the list.rhtml and the show.rhtml what i''d like is to only show the "link" link on the list.rhtml and not on the show page. <%= post.title%> <br /> <%= post.body%> <%= link_to

I need to check if a parameter is set so that I can build some information for my application, but No matter how I format my if statement in the file " Application.rb" it return the following error. You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.[] Here is the line if params[:day] So we

In the application I''m working on, a layout renders a partial that displays a breadcrumb navigation bar across the top of a page. In other words, the layout renders a partial that displays breadcrumbs. But the navigation bar rendered by a partial in a layout needs to use data from the view to determine which breadcrumbs to display. My question is: how can data be passed from a view to

Hello List, I was wondering if there is a way to shift the screens in linux. I got a kvn yesterday, and have a problem when switching from computers, where the screen is slightly shifted on one of them. I have to go into the monitor configuration screen and move the screen to the right to center it on one of the computers. Then when moving back to the other computer, that screen isn't

I was thinking about having instance variable stored and fetched from session container automatically before calling an action and after the action is finished. Using methodology of accessors it would look like: class MyController < ActionController::Base persistent_attr :person def alfa person = ''John Smith'' # render as usual view alfa.rhtml with anchor

I''m new to RoR and the tutorials I''ve found on the web, while helpful, aren''t as "complete" as I''d like them. I understand the basics when it comes to layouts and routes, but I''m trying to get them to work together. MY first task was to implement a user authentication system (registration/login/logout/change_password). This works fine with

I created a controller called reports, for which I didn''t have any model or tables. I wanted to use a menu/layout structure similar to all my other models/controllers and added a layout named reports which then gives me the menu/layout structure but is also now part of all my reports. That isn''t gonna work so I renamed reports.rhtml to reports_forms.rhtml (still inside my

I''m playing around with Markaby and I decided to write a little blog app. I''m running into issues with forms however. If I use form_for the output of the form gets swallowed. For example: form_for :article, @article do |f| f.text_field :title f.check_box :published f.text_area :description f.text_field :pub_date f.text_area :content end gets rendered as an empty form

It seems odd to me that the layout is processesed after the view. When I set a variable inside the view it does not have an impact on the layout file. But when I set it in the controller it does. Is this the way it works or is it possible that I am doing something wrong?

Filter chaining appears to behave in differently than Rails 1.2.x. It seems that I''m getting a lot of errors along the lines of: ActionController::ActionControllerError: filter #<ActionController::Filters::ClassMethods::BeforeFilterProxy:0x322f468 @filter=#<ActionController::Filters::ClassMethods::SymbolFilter: 0x322f4b8 @filter=:login_required>> was in the wrong place!

How can I call render_to_string outside of a controller. I''m stuck on this. I''ve nearly got my plugin finished but I can''t seem to get this to work. The method is in ActionController::Base but it is protected. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, Is it possible for a view to call back to a controller method? If so, what is the syntax? === details I have a list view that I want to filter out inactive rows based on several table fields being zero, old, etc. It would seem I should create a "filtered" method in the controller (which I have done). Then invoke if from the view like: for row in @rows continue if row.filtered

I created some scaffolding for an Address model and an Addresses controller. When running the functional tests for the addresses controller, I get this exception: "NameError: uninitialized constant Addres" The exception seems to start from this function: def list @address_pages, @addresses = paginate :address, :per_page => 10 end I''m guessing pluralization bug?

When creating a scaffold you get a layout file. How does it work? I thought I would find the var @content_for_layout in the controller, but I didn''t. Where is layouts defined or controlled? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I''m currently trying to get Mongrel running my app whilst fronted by apache 2.2 in a sub-directory via https. A bit convoluted I''ll grant you but necessitated by existing systems. The pertinent parts of my httpd.conf: <VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:12345> #historic choice of random port number DocumentRoot /var/www/admin ServerName admin.example.com:12345

I want a method in app/controllers/application.rb that can prepend/append text to whatever template gets rendered. Of course I can''t call render twice w/o getting a double render error, so is this possible? I want to redirect after a delay using a meta refresh. Here''s what I''ve got: app/controllers/application_controller.rb: def redirect_after_delay (url, delay)

I have an action/view that I need to return only data (other external processes query this action/view) but I need the standard_layout template to be attached to the other actions/views in the same controller. ie, the editing of the data in the model needs to include all the navigation, except one view which should just return a text/plain output. how do I say "include

Hi All! This is not a problem in general but i''ve just missed the point. If my application has a global state, which i have to use both throughout ActionController and ActiveView, then, where to place that state? E.g. if I do this: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base protected def authenticated? !user.nil? end end then I can''t use that from any

I''ve a single controller - class ContentController < ApplicationController end in the app/views/content folder I have quite a few .rhtml files I need to be able to choose a different layout template to use in each of these .rhtml files. i''d like to be able to do something like (which doesn''t work..) <% layout ''layout1'' %> Any
