I'd guess that periodically_call_remote was pulled because it's directly dependent on the Prototype JavaScript framework. It's a thin wrapper around Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater. http://api.prototypejs.org/ajax/Ajax/PeriodicalUpdater/ In any case it's relatively easy to implement that functionality. The JS frameworks don't even really make it all that much easier than straight up JavaScript. If you really want it back the helper has been extracted to: https://github.com/rails/prototype_legacy_helper ----------------- def periodically_call_remote(options = {}) frequency = options[:frequency] || 10 # every ten seconds by default code = "new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {#{remote_function(options)}}, #{frequency})" javascript_tag(code) end ----------------- As you can see here, all it really does is write out some JavaScript that you could easily write yourself. To make matters worse, the helper writes Obtrusive JavaScript. Rails 3 is has moved to Unobtrusive JavaScript (UJS), which is probably another reason this was extracted. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
