Hello again,
I'm making some progress on extensions and now I'm looking for a little push in
the right direction.
I'm working on an extension for displaying data from database for the FAQ
section of a site using tags (mental branch).
* Created a FaqExtension and include the tag:
def activate
Page.send :include, FaqTag
end
* in lib/faq_tag.rb:
module FaqTag
include Radiant::Taggable
class TagError < StandardError; end
tag "faq" do |tag|
faq = Answerbookpages.find(:all)
raise TagError.new("Faq cannot be found") unless faq
tag.locals.faq = faq
tag.expand
end
tag "faqhello" do |tag|
"Hello #{tag.attr['name'] || 'mundo'}!"
end
end
* "faqhello" (<r:faqhello/>) works and "faq" tag is retrieving from db.
(Obviously, I have an Answerbookpages class
I'm looking for some insight to take it further.
In my FAQ page, I'd like to use something like the following:
<r:faq>
<r:answername />
<r:summary />
</r:faq>
where "answername" and "summary" are fields in the answerbookpages table.
Not sure where to begin..
In the StandardTags class, I see:
#
# <r:url />
# <r:title />
# etc...
#
((Page.column_names.dup << 'url') - ['class_name', 'created_by',
'updated_by']).each do |method|
tag(method.to_s) do |tag|
tag.locals.page.send(method)
end
Maybe the answer I'm looking for is something similar to this?
Any thoughts or suggestions are really appreciated
Thank you,
Todd
