Hi, I have a model 'Asset' and, on the show page, I have this: <%= link_to_remote 'test', :url => { :controller 'looks', :action => 'whatever' } %> The 'looks' controller and 'whatever' action both exist. Now when I go the the show page for the second Asset and click the test link I get this error: Processing AssetsController#2 (...
I'm generating links from the home page (controller = 'landings') via a partial containing: <%= link_to t.to_s, assets_path, :name => t.to_s %> where assets/index is the controller/method that I'd like to pass the :name to. However, after I've clicked the link, and control is thrown to the assets/index controller, params.to_s = "actio...
I'd like to send emails from a table every night at midnight, so I've created a model to track all communications to be sent. This Communication model stores who the letter is to, from, and the contents of the letter to be sent as html. The user enters a criteria to match for whom the letter is intended: state, country, favorite color,...

I'm using 'time_ago_in_words' function in a view, and I need to test the output in the FunctionalTest. But the test can not see 'time_ago_in_words' helper function. What should I do in order to use these helper methods from FunctionalTests? ...
Normally, when using form helpers in Rails, each field directly correlates to a method on the appropriate object. However, I have a form (user signup) that needs to include fields that are not part of the user model itself (for instance, card details) but need to appear. How can I build the form so that I can get the necessary fields, ...
<%= button_to_function("Complete an Offer", "ABA.dialogs.offer(#{???}, {title: 'Complete an Offer'});", :title => "Complete an Offer") %> When a user clicks the button, I want an iframe* to pop-up in a separate dialog box. Any pointers? * ...
I have began playing with Rails 3 beta and I am trying to do my usual starter project. I create a simple list of projects, but use ajax requests for the app's navigation. In Rails 3, my usual code does not work for the basic scaffold, I receive an ActionView:MissingTemplate (Missing template projects/new with {:format=>[:js]} Here is...

How can I DRY the code below? Do I have to setup a bunch of ELSEs ? I usually find the "if this is met, stop", "if this is met, stop", rather than a bunch of nested ifs. I discovered that redirect_to and render don't stop the action execution... def payment_confirmed confirm_payment do |confirmation| @purchase = Purchase....
I've got an app that's in invite-only beta right now. Problem is, I can't get the invite system to work. :( On my root page there's a login form (which works just fine), and I'm trying to add a "request invite" form on the same page. I started doing it by putting the form for InviteRequest (ActiveRecord) inside a partial, in the "views"...
This question came about because the cells gem specifies template directories using File.join('app','cells'). That works fine until you run Rails as a daemon (scripts/server -d). The daemon switches directories to / which leaves the cells template paths pointing to the wrong absolute path. My solution was to set the default paths to Fil...
Hello I am trying to DRY up some code by moving some logic into the FormBuilder. After reading the documentation about how to select and alternative form builder the logical solution for me seemed to be something like this. In the view <% form_for @event, :builder => TestFormBuilder do |f| %> <%= f.test %> <%= f.submit 'Updat...
Hi, I have a RoR application and model SomeModel. I have views for this model and I want to know - is there any method to get the view's path? Of course I can use for this model instance m = SomeModel.new v = m.class.class_name.pluralize.downcase It's working, but maybe you know a better way? :) ...
Ryan Bates' nifty_scaffolding, for example, does this edit.html.erb <%= render :partial => 'form' %> new.html.erb <%= render :partial => 'form' %> _form.html.erb <%= form_for @some_object_defined_in_action %> That hidden state makes me feel uncomfortable, so I usually like to do this edit.html.erb <%= render :partial => 'form...
My Rails app has some pages which are SSL-required and others which are SSL-optional. The optional pages use some assets which are served off-site (images from a vendor) which have both http and https URLs. I need to use https when the page is accessed via SSL to avoid the dreaded "this page contains both secure and insecure elements" wa...
Hi, I have an input field that captures a date in my form <%= f.text_field :from_date, :style => 'width:80px;' %> The user enters the date in the following format MM/DD/YYYY. However, when there is a validation error in the model and the form is displayed back to the user with the entered values, the date format is converted to YYYY-...
I was looking at how content_for works and observed the block.call in the capture_erb_with_buffer method. It apparently magically writes to the buffer variable which is then pruned. However, this I believe is deprecated and you can just call <%=yield :tag%> now. How does this work? If I call yield from an ERB template where does that yie...
