This may be more help than you were after... I often customize the
front index page. Here is a copy of a current project and a lot has
been stripped out for this example, nothing is tested so try and
understand it rather than cut and paste.
The technique is to define the guts of the page in application.dryml
so it can be called from a partial update. Dry you know :)
It probably doesn't work exactly as you see it here because of the
quick edits I have made to it but it should give some ideas of how you
could go about things.
front/index.dryml
<page>
<body: class="front-page" />
<ajax_progress:/>
<content:>
<header class="content-header">
<h1 if="¤t_user.guest?">Welcome to <app-name/></h1>
<section class="welcome-message" if="¤t_user.guest?">
<h3>What this app is about</h3>
<ul>
<li>A little blurb here.</li>
</ul>
</section>
</header>
<users-posts/>
</content:>
</page>
added to application.dryml
<def tag="users-posts">
<section part="usersposts" if="&(not current_user.guest?)">
<table-plus if="&(not @users_posts.nil?)" with="&@users_posts"
fields="this,comments,date,etc">
<header: replace/>
<Usersposts-heading:>Users Posts</Usersposts-heading:>
<controls:>
<%= link_to_remote( "select",
:update => "usersposts",
:loading => "Hobo.showSpinner('Selecting...');",
:complete => "Hobo.hideSpinner();",
:message => "Saving...",
:url => { :action => :add_new, :id => this.id } )
%>
</controls:>
<empty-message:>
No posts
</empty-message:>
</table-plus>
</section>
</def>
added to front_controller.rb
def index
# find out what params are showing up
logger.info "front_controller.rb index CALLED===params=" +
params.to_s
@user = current_user
if not current_user.guest?
@users_posts = @user.posts if params["sort"].nil?
end
end
def add_new
mp = posts.find(:all,:conditions => "user_id=" +
current_user.id.to_s + " and post_id=" + params["id"].to_s)
success = false
mp.each do |x|
x.status = "selected"
x.save
success = true
end
if success
@user = current_user
@users_posts = @user.posts
render :partial => "users_posts", :object =>
[...@users_posts,@user]
else
render :text => "Something weird happened"
end
end
And then of course a partial _users_posts.dryml
<%
@users_posts = users_posts[0]
@users = users_posts[1]
%>
<users-posts/>
