Great idea, thanks Chris and all. It does kinda work. One odd things is that not all my model methods are available within the Part. (Even though all methods work fine when I use the same code in a Partial)
In the "Trip" model we have a bunch of properties and some methods, such as def dateSummary ... end In the Part, all properties and methods are accessible, but In the partial the properties are accessible but the methods are not (for example: undefined method `dateSummary' for Trip:Class) George On Sep 9, 11:52 am, Chris Hoeppner <[email protected]> wrote: > I thought I'd spare you the time to google: > > http://wiki.merbivore.com/howto/parts > > Enjoy! > > > > Pavel Kunc <[email protected]> writes: > > Yes if you need to have some widget or sort of controller with it's > > own views and actions you need to install merb_parts, merb-gen part > > TripList and than you can call the part in this way: > > > <%= part QuizResultsPart => :most_popular %> > > > I use parts all over the site to implement Widgets which are small > > pieces of the functionality on the various places of the site.
