similar to: call a method once per page request

Hi, I''m wondering if there is a simple solution to call a method once per page request. I tried to place my call in a before_filter in ApplicationController but it''d called a second time if I use render_component from a view. Seems to me that a hook should be added in Dispatcher#prepare_application. Context: working on i18n, I''m trying to check lang either from uri,

Lets say that I want to have one url that can map to two different controllers. For example /posts could map to controller ''public/ posts'' or to the controller ''admin/posts'' based on whether or not the user has logged in. This isn''t a great example because I could just use ''/admin/posts'', but in my scenario the url has to be the

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

Hello, Maybe this is super-trivial... I need to have a list of links on the left hand side of my application, for *every* single page. So, I''ve created a layout called "main" (main.rhtml) under view/layouts, and included >layout "main"< in pretty all of my controllers. main.rhtml has, amongst all the other HTML stuff: <%= render_component

Hey, I''m trying to figure out what the most elegant way to do this - I''ve only got a small amount of different subdomains corresponding to categories - and I''ve been using fragment caching. In particular, I was wondering what the best way to call these actions is - I''m thinking redirect and render_component aren''t really very nice

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''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, Any help is appreciated. I used the ajax scaffold generator to make 3 scaffoldings. Then I put them together as components in a combined layout and created a master controller, which happens to be named "dataentry''. That works fine.

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
