yes, I copy and paste here an email I sent about 3 weeks ago to the globalize mailing list:
------------------------ Hi, I'm having problem with globalize (for-1.1, revision 199) and actionview combined with MimeResponds. This is my, hopefully not too wrong, analysis: Responders in MimeResponds ( actionpack-1.12.5/lib/action_controller/mime_responds.rb ) work rendering a template_path that includes extension, for example template.rxml, template.rhtml, etc. ActionView::Base in globalize ( globalize/lib/globalize/rails/action_view.rb ) passes this kind of templates to pick_template_extension (line 29) and this throws an exception. To workaround this problem, one can borrow code from rails 1.1 ActionView::Base#render_file and substitute if use_full_path template_extension = pick_template_extension(template_path).to_s template_file_name = full_template_path(template_path, template_extension) with if use_full_path template_extension = nil template_path_without_extension, template_extension = path_and_extension(template_path) if template_extension template_file_name = full_template_path(template_path_without_extension, template_extension) else template_extension = pick_template_extension(template_path).to_s template_file_name = full_template_path(template_path, template_extension) end This works well in controllers but, unfortunately, completely breaks the globalize action_mailer_test because of the content type "extensions" added by globalize. Example: passed value -> test.en.plain.text expected template -> test.en.plain.text.rhtml but path_and_extension cuts text and search test.en.plain.rhtml -> exception. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance. ------------------------ Unfortunately nobody has replied :-( , anyway I suppose that you could solve your problems with the proposed modifications in globalize/lib/globalize/rails/action_view.rb By the way, to work out the consequent problems with ActionMailer, perhaps Globalize should use _ as separator, as gettext does ( http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext-howto-rails.html#Localized+templates+for+Views%2FActionMailer ) Best regards -- Nicola Piccinini -- http://superfluo.org _______________________________________________ Railsi18n-discussion mailing list Railsi18n-discussion@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/railsi18n-discussion
