How can I dynamically determine which model a controller is controlling?

I'm writing a Rails plugin, and need to be able to dynamically determine which model a controller is associated with. For example, if I have a PeopleController, I need a clean way to determine that the controller handles Person models. I've had a look through the API and haven't found a method for it. Is the only way to do this as a re...

ASP.NET MVC - delete a user in default account system?

How does one delete a user from the system in ASP.NET MVC? Is there any facility built in that I'm just not seeing? I have a Customers controller which ties into the default Account controller well for the most part but when it comes to deleting them, deleting from the Customers table isn't enough as the user name is now effectively "r...

Creating a multi-step create action in Rails

I have a portion of my app that sometimes will need to inform the user of their action, but the app does not know of the requirement to inform the user until after the form has been submitted (which eliminates Javascript). Basically what happens is that the user uploads one or more files containing records, if the number of records with...

ASP.NET MVC use of Application Controlle pattern

Hi, I been building my first ASP.NET MVC application and so far am getting to grips quite well with it I think. Some of the concepts are still fuzzy (routing) but I have an idea. One of the things we do with our WebForms apps is to route navigation through an Application Controller [Fowler] to handle our page navigation based on the cu...

Push/Present Modal View Controller

I have a table in my view controller (let's call it TVC1). I have rows in TVC1 that are used so the user can input some more data in addition to the data on TVC1. So, when someone taps a specific row in TVC1, it will show another view controller (let's call it TVC2). However, when TVC2 is shown, all of the data in TVC1 is cleared. How ca...

I want to use a controller with an expected nil; how do I handle this?

I have created a site which utilizes subdomains and searches whether or not the user is at: subdomain.domain.com or domain.com.

Improve Controller Performance Ruby on Rails

I have the following code in a controller user = RegUser.create_reg_user(:some_parameters) UserStuff.pass_user(some_parameters) @hex = user.hex The @hex is passed to the view and returned.

Can I test the override for OnAuthorization in an ASP.NET MVC controller base class?

The mechanics of making this work aren't hard, but testing it is a little strange. The scenario is that I want to dump some basic user data into the view data based on the User property of a base controller (an IPrincipal object) so that the master page always has it. I need access to my IUserManager (a service class), which is provided ...

Breadcrumbs in Ruby on Rails

Hi, I'm slightly insecure about my breadcrumb solution. Names and links are defined in each controller action: <a href="http://localhost:3000/"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt; <% if defined? @l1_link %> > <a href="<%= @l1_link%>"><%= @l1_name %></a> <% if defined? @l2_link %> > <a href="<%= @l2_link%>"><%= @l2_name %></a> <% end %> <% end ...

Polymorphic has_many through Controllers: Antipattern?

I'm tempted to say yes.

How can I break up a controller in ASP.NET MVC while preserving the controller name?

I'm working on a controller that is a part of a very flat hierarchy of pages, and it looks like one section of the site could have over a dozen action methods, not including their corresponding post actions.

How to do preDispatch forwarding in Zend Framework?

I want to use _forward() in preDispatch after checking if the user is logged in in every controller. The scenario is quite easy: If the user is not logged in, it should be forwarded to loginAction either in the same controller or in another controller. This would cause an infinite loop, as the dispatch process starts over again, callin...
