similar to: render_component and private access...

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''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

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 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 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

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},

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

I''ve made some test: ------------------ CODE ------------------ class FooController < ActionController::Base caches_action :foo def foo render_text ''Hello, foo<br />'' end end class BarController < ActionController::Base def bar render :inline => <<-EOS Hello, bar <br /> <%= render_component(:controller =>

I have dynamically generated list of links that I wish to include in different views, I''m using render_component to do this but it is also including the layout. How do I turn layout off on a per action basis? Many thanks, K. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The navigation links also include inforation like username and a link to logout if the user is logged in, or link to login...standard stuff. Anyway, i have controller

Hi I''ve got a login action that handles authenticating users, setting cookies and, via its view, displaying an HTML snippet containing a form with username and password fields. It''s called from the main application.rhtml layout so I don''t need to have a seperate page (away from the main site) with a login form. My user model is more-or-less the same as in the Agile RoR

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
