Yes I have already found the definitions that are automatically
defined at apps/views/taglibs/auto/rapid/, my problem is that I cannot
find any up to date information on how to call these definitions, and
the views are not created for me so I can't check pre-existing code.
So for example, I have
<def tag="index-page" for="Post">
<page merge title="Posts">
<body: class="index-page post" param/>
<content: param>
<header param="content-header">
<h2 param="heading">Posts</h2>
<p param="count" if>There <count prefix="are"/></p>
</header>
<section param="content-body">
<a action="new" to="&model" param="new-link"/>
<page-nav param="top-page-nav"/>
<collection param/>
<page-nav param="bottom-page-nav"/>
</section>
</content:>
</page>
</def>
in apps/views/taglibs/auto/rapid/pages.dryml
but I don't know how to use this correctly within another page. I can
see that it is creating a link to the "Posts" model but with no
explanations available it's quite hard to tell how this is happening.
Even the DRYML information on passing parameters seems to be out of
date so I have no clue how to call anything! All I need is one working
and up to date example of how to define a call to a single model
instead of an array of models. As standard in index.dryml it uses:
repeat="&front_models" which is obviously all the models. But in the
defs above it is calling "&model" but how is it's focus being defined?
Is it by the class, or is it simply that this page will already be
linked to the relevant model by default? If so how do I create these
associations for the "home" page? Sorry if what I am asking seems very
simple, but I have been trying to work out how this works for days
now, and I simply can't find any information explaining it. If I were
using standard Rails I might redirect the "Home" controller to the
"Posts" view using: redirect_to(:action => 'Posts') but this
doesn't work with Hobo because all of the views are DRYML not ERB.
