I've never used link_to_remote -- that's a function from
PrototypeHelper, and I do things either the "Hobo way" or I use jQuery.
It may well be that link_to_remote is appropriate, but it's not in my
bag of tricks.
Here's what I'd do in your situation. Note that it's not necessarily
optimal -- other Hobo'ers can chime in if I'm missing something.
The first thing I'd do would be to split out the login form from the
login page. Actually, I'm quite surprised it's not already that way.
<def form="login-form">
<form action="&request.request_uri" class="login" merge>
...
</form>
</def>
You may have to replace request.request_uri with user_login_path so that
the form will work on pages other than the login page.
Then I'd include it inside my page, including the magic Hobo ajax keywords:
<do part="login-part">
<if test="&logged_in?">
...
</if>
<else>
<login-form update="login-part" />
</else>
</do>
For most Hobo actions, this would be sufficient. However, it appears
that hobo_login is not ajaxified. (Try it first -- I didn't check the
code very closely)
After confirming it didn't work, I'd add this to users_controller.rb:
def login
if !request.post?
hobo_login
else
respond_to do |wants|
if valid?
wants.html { hobo_login }
wants.js { hobo_ajax_response }
else
wants.html { hobo_login }
wants.js { hobo_ajax_response }
end
end
end
end
Yes, I know that the two parts of the if statement are identical. I'd
probably add a flash statement in the failure clause and ensure that
it's displayed inside of login-form.
This is all off the top of my head, I probably made a mistake or two
somewhere. If you get it to work, please reply with corrections.
And if it works for you and nobody suggests anything better, please
raise two tickets on the Hobo lighthouse: one to split out login-form
and the second to ajaxify hobo_login and friends.
To answer your other questions, I find "rake routes" very handy.
Looking at that, it implies that it's the login action on the
users_controller. The code for that is in
hobo/lib/hobo/users_controller.rb. The default is essentially just "def
login ; hobo_login ; end", which is why the above definition works.
Unlike most other hobo actions, it appears that login isn't split into
"login" for the GET and "do_login" for the POST.
