Hey everyone, I have a model I extended w/STI to allow me to write little widgets or modules for my web-app ... that part's working well. However, I'm getting to the point where, depending on the model's type/class I would like to render a partial so that each type has it's own look/feel/content.
I found this : http://www.compulsivoco.com/2008/10/rendering-rails-partials-in-a-model-or-background-task/.. and it works pretty well. I had all my models calling their own partials, but, helper functions like link_to and url_for, etc, will not work. As mentioned in the comments to that blog post > Love the tip, *it breaks though when your view code uses helper methods*, > to do this, I stole from Rails internal private method, > initialize_template_class: > > template_instance = > ActionView::Base.new(Rails::Configuration.new.view_path) > template_instance.extend ApplicationController.master_helper_module > content = template_instance.render(:partial => self.view_path(self.profile) > + '/show', :locals => {:item => self}) > I tried this, but am still not having any luck. Has anyone tried this sort of thing before? I'm trying to do a simple link_to for a nested resource (which works fine within the context of a straight view, but I get this when calling the partial from my model(s) You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.url_for Thanks everyone! - Joel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
