|
|
|
* Added arrays as a value option for params in url_for and friends #467 [Eric Anderson]. Example:
|
|
|
|
url_for(:controller => 'user', :action => 'delete', :params => { 'username' => %( paul john steve ) } )
|
|
# => /user/delete?username[]=paul&username[]=john&username[]=steve
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that controller tests can now assert on the use of cookies #466 [Alexey]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that send_file would "remember" all the files sent by adding to the headers again and again #458 [bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed url rewriter confusion when the controller or action name was a substring of the controller_prefix or action_prefix
|
|
|
|
* Added conditional layouts like <tt>layout "weblog_standard", :except => :rss</tt> #452 [Marcel Molina]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that MemCacheStore wasn't included by default and added default MemCache object pointing to localhost #447 [Lucas Carlson]
|
|
|
|
* Added fourth argument to render_collection_of_partials that allows you to specify local_assigns -- just like render_partial #432 [zenspider]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that host would choke when cgi.host returned nil #432 [Tobias Luetke]
|
|
|
|
* Added that form helpers now take an index option #448 [Tim Bates]
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
text_field "person", "name", "index" => 3
|
|
|
|
Becomes:
|
|
<input type="text" name="person[3][name]" id="person_3_name" value="<%= @person.name %>" />
|
|
|
|
* Fixed three issues with retrying breakpoints #417 [Florian Gross]
|
|
|
|
1. Don't screw up pages that use multiple values for the same parameter (?foo=bar&foo=qux was converted to ?foo=barqux)
|
|
2. Don't screw up all forms when you click the "Retry with Breakpoint" link multiple times instead of reloading
|
|
(This caused the parameters to be added multiple times for GET forms leading to trouble.)
|
|
3. Don't add ?BP-RETRY=1 multiple times
|
|
|
|
* Added that all renders and redirects now return false, so they can be used as the last line in before_filters to stop execution.
|
|
|
|
Before:
|
|
def authenticate
|
|
unless @session[:authenticated]
|
|
redirect_to :controller => "account", :action => "login"
|
|
return false
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
After:
|
|
def authenticate
|
|
redirect_to(:controller => "account", :action => "login") unless @session[:authenticated]
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
* Added conditional filters #431 [Marcel]. Example:
|
|
|
|
class JournalController < ActionController::Base
|
|
# only require authentication if the current action is edit or delete
|
|
before_filter :authorize, :only_on => [ :edit, :delete ]
|
|
|
|
private
|
|
def authorize
|
|
# redirect to login unless authenticated
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
* Added Base#render_nothing as a cleaner way of doing render_text "" when you're not interested in returning anything but an empty response.
|
|
|
|
* Added the possibility of passing nil to UrlHelper#link_to to use the link itself as the name
|
|
|
|
|
|
*1.2.0* (January 4th, 2005)
|
|
|
|
* Added MemCacheStore for storing session data in Danga's MemCache system [Bob Cottrell]
|
|
Depends on: MemCached server (http://www.danga.com/memcached/), MemCache client (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/memcache/)
|
|
|
|
* Added thread-safety to the DRbStore #66, #389 [Ben Stiglitz]
|
|
|
|
* Added DateHelper#select_time and DateHelper#select_second #373 [Scott Baron]
|
|
|
|
* Added :host and :protocol options to url_for and friends to redirect to another host and protocol than the current.
|
|
|
|
* Added class declaration for the MissingFile exception #388 [Kent Sibilev]
|
|
|
|
* Added "short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s)" to redirects to fulfill compliance with RFC 2616 (HTTP/1.1) section 10.3.3 #397 [Tim Bates]
|
|
|
|
* Added second boolean parameter to Base.redirect_to_url and Response#redirect to control whether the redirect is permanent or not (301 vs 302) #375 [Hodel]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed redirects when the controller and action is named the same. Still haven't fixed same controller, module, and action, though #201 [Josh]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed problems with running multiple functional tests in Rails under 1.8.2 by including hack for test/unit weirdness
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that @request.remote_ip didn't work in the test environment #369 [Bruno Mattarollo]
|
|
|
|
|
|
*1.1.0*
|
|
|
|
* Added search through session to clear out association caches at the end of each request. This makes it possible to place Active Record objects
|
|
in the session without worrying about stale data in the associations (the main object is still subject to caching, naturally) #347 [Tobias Luetke]
|
|
|
|
* Added more informative exception when using helper :some_helper and the helper requires another file that fails, you'll get an
|
|
error message tells you what file actually failed to load, rather than falling back on assuming it was the helper file itself #346 [dblack]
|
|
|
|
* Added use of *_before_type_cast for all input and text fields. This is helpful for getting "100,000" back on a integer-based
|
|
validation where the value would normally be "100".
|
|
|
|
* Added Request#port_string to get something like ":8080" back on 8080 and "" on 80 (or 443 with https).
|
|
|
|
* Added Request#domain (returns string) and Request#subdomains (returns array).
|
|
|
|
* Added POST support for the breakpoint retries, so form processing that raises an exception can be retried with the original request [Florian Gross]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed regression with Base#reset_session that wouldn't use the the DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS [adam@the-kramers.net]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed error rendering of rxml documents to not just swallow the exception and return 0 (still not guessing the right line, but hey)
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that textilize and markdown would instantiate their engines even on empty strings. This also fixes #333 [Ulysses]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed UrlHelper#link_to_unless so it doesn't care if the id is a string or fixnum [zenspider]
|
|
|
|
|
|
*1.0.1*
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug that would cause an ApplicationController to require itself three times and hence cause filters to be run three times [evl]
|
|
|
|
|
|
*1.0*
|
|
|
|
* Added that controllers will now attempt to require a model dependency with their name and in a singular attempt for their name.
|
|
So both PostController and PostsController will automatically have the post.rb model required. If no model is found, no error is raised,
|
|
as it is then expected that no match is available and the programmer will have included his own models.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed DateHelper#date_select so that you can pass include_blank as an option even if you don't use start_year and end_year #59 [what-a-day]
|
|
|
|
* Added that controllers will now search for a layout in $template_root/layouts/$controller_name.r(html|xml), so PostsController will look
|
|
for layouts/posts.rhtml or layouts/posts.rxml and automatically configure this layout if found #307 [Marcel]
|
|
|
|
* Added FormHelper#radio_button to work with radio buttons like its already possible with check boxes [Michael Koziarski]
|
|
|
|
* Added TemplateError#backtrace that makes it much easier to debug template errors from unit and functional tests
|
|
|
|
* Added display of error messages with scaffolded form pages
|
|
|
|
* Added option to ERB templates to swallow newlines by using <% if something -%> instead of just <% if something %>. Example:
|
|
|
|
class SomeController < ApplicationController
|
|
<% if options[:scaffold] %>
|
|
scaffold :<%= singular_name %>
|
|
<% end %>
|
|
helper :post
|
|
|
|
...produces this on post as singular_name:
|
|
|
|
class SomeController < ApplicationController
|
|
|
|
scaffold :post
|
|
|
|
helper :post
|
|
|
|
...where as:
|
|
|
|
class SomeController < ApplicationController
|
|
<% if options[:scaffold] -%>
|
|
scaffold :<%= singular_name %>
|
|
<% end -%>
|
|
helper :post
|
|
|
|
...produces:
|
|
|
|
class SomeController < ApplicationController
|
|
scaffold :post
|
|
helper :post
|
|
|
|
[This undocumented gem for ERb was uncovered by bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed CgiRequest so that it'll now accept session options with Symbols as keys (as the documentation points out) [Suggested by Andreas]
|
|
|
|
* Added that render_partial will always by default include a counter with value 1 unless there is a counter passed in via the
|
|
local_assigns hash that overrides it. As a result, render_collection_of_partials can still be written in terms of render_partial
|
|
and partials that make use of a counter can be called without problems from both render_collection_of_partials as well as
|
|
render_partial #295 [marcel]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed CgiRequest#out to fall back to #write if $stdout doesn't have #syswrite [bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed all helpers so that they use XHTML compliant double quotes for values instead of single quotes [htonl/bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Added link_to_image(src, options = {}, html_options = {}, *parameters_for_method_reference). Documentation:
|
|
|
|
Creates a link tag to the image residing at the +src+ using an URL created by the set of +options+. See the valid options in
|
|
link:classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000021. It's also possible to pass a string instead of an options hash to
|
|
get a link tag that just points without consideration. The <tt>html_options</tt> works jointly for the image and ahref tag by
|
|
letting the following special values enter the options on the image and the rest goes to the ahref:
|
|
|
|
::alt: If no alt text is given, the file name part of the +src+ is used (capitalized and without the extension)
|
|
::size: Supplied as "XxY", so "30x45" becomes width="30" and height="45"
|
|
::align: Sets the alignment, no special features
|
|
|
|
The +src+ can be supplied as a...
|
|
* full path, like "/my_images/image.gif"
|
|
* file name, like "rss.gif", that gets expanded to "/images/rss.gif"
|
|
* file name without extension, like "logo", that gets expanded to "/images/logo.png"
|
|
|
|
* Fixed to_input_field_tag so it no longer explicitly uses InstanceTag.value if value was specified in the options hash [evl]
|
|
|
|
* Added the possibility of having validate be protected for assert_(in)valid_column #263 [Tobias Luetke]
|
|
|
|
* Added that ActiveRecordHelper#form now calls url_for on the :action option.
|
|
|
|
* Added all the HTTP methods as alternatives to the generic "process" for functional testing #276 [Tobias Luetke]. Examples:
|
|
|
|
# Calls Controller#miletone with a GET request
|
|
process :milestone
|
|
|
|
# Calls Controller#miletone with a POST request that has parameters
|
|
post :milestone, { "name" => "David" }
|
|
|
|
# Calls Controller#milestone with a HEAD request that has both parameters and session data
|
|
head :milestone, { "id" => 1 }, { "user_id" => 23 }
|
|
|
|
This is especially useful for testing idiomatic REST web services.
|
|
|
|
* Added proper handling of HEAD requests, so that content isn't returned (Request#head? added as well) #277 [Eric Hodel]
|
|
|
|
* Added indifference to whether @headers["Content-Type"], @headers["Content-type"], or @headers["content-type"] is used.
|
|
|
|
* Added TestSession#session_id that returns an empty string to make it easier to functional test applications that doesn't use
|
|
cookie-based sessions #275 [jcf]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that cached template loading would still check the file system to see if the file existed #258 [Andreas Schwarz]
|
|
|
|
* Added options to tailor header tag, div id, and div class on ActiveRecordHelper#error_messages_for [josh]
|
|
|
|
* Added graceful handling of non-alphanumeric names and misplaced brackets in input parameters [bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Added a new container for cookies that makes them more intuative to use. The old methods of cookie and @cookies have been deprecated.
|
|
|
|
Examples for writing:
|
|
|
|
cookies["user_name"] = "david" # => Will set a simple session cookie
|
|
cookies["login"] = { "value" => "XJ-122", "expires" => Time.now + 360} # => Will set a cookie that expires in 1 hour
|
|
|
|
Examples for reading:
|
|
|
|
cookies["user_name"] # => "david"
|
|
cookies.size # => 2
|
|
|
|
Read more in ActionController::Cookies
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you were using the old accessor (cookies instead of @cookies), this could potentially break your code -- if you expect a full cookie object!
|
|
|
|
* Added the opportunity to defined method_missing on a controller which will handle all requests for actions not otherwise defined #223 [timb]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed AbstractRequest#remote_ip for users going through proxies - Patch #228 [Eric Hodel]
|
|
|
|
* Added Request#ssl? which is shorthand for @request.protocol == "https://"
|
|
|
|
* Added the choice to call form_tag with no arguments (resulting in a form posting to current action) [bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Upgraded to Builder 1.2.1
|
|
|
|
* Added :module as an alias for :controller_prefix to url_for and friends, so you can do redirect_to(:module => "shop", :controller => "purchases")
|
|
and go to /shop/purchases/
|
|
|
|
* Added support for controllers in modules through @params["module"].
|
|
|
|
* Added reloading for dependencies under cached environments like FastCGI and mod_ruby. This makes it possible to use those environments for development.
|
|
This is turned on by default, but can be turned off with ActionController::Base.reload_dependencies = false in production environments.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This will only have an effect if you use the new model, service, and observer class methods to mark dependencies. All libraries loaded through
|
|
require will be "forever" cached. You can, however, use ActionController::Base.load_or_require("library") to get this behavior outside of the new
|
|
dependency style.
|
|
|
|
* Added that controllers will automatically require their own helper if possible. So instead of doing:
|
|
|
|
class MsgController < ApplicationController
|
|
helper :msg
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
...you can just do:
|
|
|
|
class MsgController < ApplicationController
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
* Added dependencies_on(layer) to query the dependencies of a controller. Examples:
|
|
|
|
MsgController.dependencies_on(:model) # => [ :post, :comment, :attachment ]
|
|
MsgController.dependencies_on(:service) # => [ :notification_service ]
|
|
MsgController.dependencies_on(:observer) # => [ :comment_observer ]
|
|
|
|
* Added a new dependency model with the class methods model, service, and observer. Example:
|
|
|
|
class MsgController < ApplicationController
|
|
model :post, :comment, :attachment
|
|
service :notification_service
|
|
observer :comment_observer
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
These new "keywords" remove the need for explicitly calling 'require' in most cases. The observer method even instantiates the
|
|
observer as well as requiring it.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that link_to would escape & in the url again after url_for already had done so
|
|
|
|
|
|
*0.9.5* (28)
|
|
|
|
* Added helper_method to designate that a given private or protected method you should available as a helper in the view. [bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed assert_rendered_file so it actually verifies if that was the rendered file [htonl]
|
|
|
|
* Added the option for sharing partial spacer templates just like partials themselves [radsaq]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that Russia was named twice in country_select [alexey]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed request_origin to use remote_ip instead of remote_addr [bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed link_to breakage when nil was passed for html_options [alexey]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed redirect_to on a virtual server setup with apache with a port other than the default where it would forget the port number [seanohalpin]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that auto-loading webrick on Windows would cause file uploads to fail [bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed issues with sending files on WEBrick by setting the proper binmode [bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Added send_data as an alternative to send_file when the stream is not read off the filesystem but from a database or generated live [bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
* Added a new way to include helpers that doesn't require the include hack and can go without the explicit require. [bitsweat]
|
|
|
|
Before:
|
|
|
|
module WeblogHelper
|
|
def self.append_features(controller) #:nodoc:
|
|
controller.ancestors.include?(ActionController::Base) ? controller.add_template_helper(self) : super
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
require 'weblog_helper'
|
|
class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
|
|
include WeblogHelper
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
After:
|
|
|
|
module WeblogHelper
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
|
|
helper :weblog
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
* Added a default content-type of "text/xml" to .rxml renders [Ryan Platte]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that when /controller/index was requested by the browser, url_for would generates wrong URLs [Ryan Platte]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug that would share cookies between users when using FastCGI and mod_ruby [The Robot Co-op]
|
|
|
|
* Added an optional third hash parameter to the process method in functional tests that takes the session data to be used [alexey]
|
|
|
|
* Added UrlHelper#mail_to to make it easier to create mailto: style ahrefs
|
|
|
|
* Added better error messages for layouts declared with the .rhtml extension (which they shouldn't) [geech]
|
|
|
|
* Added another case to DateHelper#distance_in_minutes to return "less than a minute" instead of "0 minutes" and "1 minute" instead of "1 minutes"
|
|
|
|
* Added a hidden field to checkboxes generated with FormHelper#check_box that will make sure that the unchecked value (usually 0)
|
|
is sent even if the checkbox is not checked. This relieves the controller from doing custom checking if the the checkbox wasn't
|
|
checked. BEWARE: This might conflict with your run-on-the-mill work-around code. [Tobias Luetke]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed error_message_on to just use the first if more than one error had been added [marcel]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that URL rewriting with /controller/ was working but /controller was not and that you couldn't use :id on index [geech]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug with link_to where the :confirm option wouldn't be picked up if the link was a straight url instead of an option hash
|
|
|
|
* Changed scaffolding of forms to use <label> tags instead of <b> to please W3C [evl]
|
|
|
|
* Added DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words_to_now(from_time) that works like distance_of_time_in_words,
|
|
but where <tt>to_time</tt> is fixed to <tt>Time.now</tt>.
|
|
|
|
* Added assert_flash_equal(expected, key, message), assert_session_equal(expected, key, message),
|
|
assert_assigned_equal(expected, key, message) to test the contents of flash, session, and template assigns.
|
|
|
|
* Improved the failure report on assert_success when the action triggered a redirection [alexey].
|
|
|
|
* Added "markdown" to accompany "textilize" as a TextHelper method for converting text to HTML using the Markdown syntax.
|
|
BlueCloth must be installed in order for this method to become available.
|
|
|
|
* Made sure that an active session exists before we attempt to delete it [Samuel]
|
|
|
|
* Changed link_to with Javascript confirmation to use onclick instead of onClick for XHTML validity [Scott Barron]
|
|
|
|
|
|
*0.9.0 (43)*
|
|
|
|
* Added support for Builder-based templates for files with the .rxml extension. These new templates are an alternative to ERb that
|
|
are especially useful for generating XML content, such as this RSS example from Basecamp:
|
|
|
|
xml.rss("version" => "2.0", "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/") do
|
|
xml.channel do
|
|
xml.title(@feed_title)
|
|
xml.link(@url)
|
|
xml.description "Basecamp: Recent items"
|
|
xml.language "en-us"
|
|
xml.ttl "40"
|
|
|
|
for item in @recent_items
|
|
xml.item do
|
|
xml.title(item_title(item))
|
|
xml.description(item_description(item)) if item_description(item)
|
|
xml.pubDate(item_pubDate(item))
|
|
xml.guid(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
|
|
xml.link(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
|
|
|
|
xml.tag!("dc:creator", item.author_name) if item_has_creator?(item)
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
...which will generate something like:
|
|
|
|
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">

The "xml" local variable is automatically available in .rxml templates. You construct the template by calling a method with the name
|
|
of the tag you want. Options for the tag can be specified as a hash parameter to that method.
|
|
|
|
Builder-based templates can be mixed and matched with the regular ERb ones. The only thing that differentiates them is the extension.
|
|
No new methods have been added to the public interface to handle them.
|
|
|
|
Action Pack ships with a version of Builder, but it will use the RubyGems version if you have one installed.
|

* Increased performance by up to 100% with a revised cookie class that fixes the performance problems with the
|
|
default one that ships with 1.8.1 and below. It replaces the inheritance on SimpleDelegator with DelegateClass(Array)
|
|
following the suggestion from Matz on:
|
|
http://groups.google.com/groups?th=e3a4e68ba042f842&seekm=c3sioe%241qvm%241%40news.cybercity.dk#link14
|
|
|
|
* Added caching for compiled ERb templates. On Basecamp, it gave between 8.5% and 71% increase in performance [Andreas Schwarz].
|
|
|
|
* Added implicit counter variable to render_collection_of_partials [Marcel]. From the docs:
|
|
|
|
<%= render_collection_of_partials "ad", @advertisements %>
|
|
|
|
This will render "advertiser/_ad.rhtml" and pass the local variable +ad+ to the template for display. An iteration counter
|
|
will automatically be made available to the template with a name of the form +partial_name_counter+. In the case of the
|
|
example above, the template would be fed +ad_counter+.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed problems with two sessions being maintained on reset_session that would particularly screw up ActiveRecordStore.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed reset_session to start an entirely new session instead of merely deleting the old. So you can now safely access @session
|
|
after calling reset_ression and expect it to work.
|
|
|
|
* Added @request.get?, @request.post?, @request.put?, @request.delete? as convenience query methods for @request.method [geech]
|
|
|
|
* Added @request.method that'll return a symbol representing the HTTP method, such as :get, :post, :put, :delete [geech]
|
|
|
|
* Changed @request.remote_ip and @request.host to work properly even when a proxy is in front of the application [geech]
|
|
|
|
* Added JavaScript confirm feature to link_to. Documentation:
|
|
|
|
The html_options have a special feature for creating javascript confirm alerts where if you pass
|
|
:confirm => 'Are you sure?', the link will be guarded with a JS popup asking that question.
|
|
If the user accepts, the link is processed, otherwise not.
|
|
|
|
* Added link_to_unless_current as a UrlHelper method [Sam Stephenson]. Documentation:
|
|
|
|
Creates a link tag of the given +name+ using an URL created by the set of +options+, unless the current
|
|
controller, action, and id are the same as the link's, in which case only the name is returned (or the
|
|
given block is yielded, if one exists). This is useful for creating link bars where you don't want to link
|
|
to the page currently being viewed.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that UrlRewriter (the driver for url_for, link_to, etc) would blow up when the anchor was an integer [alexey]
|
|
|
|
* Added that layouts defined with no directory defaults to layouts. So layout "weblog/standard" will use
|
|
weblog/standard (as always), but layout "standard" will use layouts/standard.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that partials (or any template starting with an underscore) was publically viewable [Marten]
|
|
|
|
* Added HTML escaping to text_area helper.
|
|
|
|
* Added :overwrite_params to url_for and friends to keep the parameters as they were passed to the current action and only overwrite a subset.
|
|
The regular :params will clear the slate so you need to manually add in existing parameters if you want to reuse them. [raphinou]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed scaffolding problem with composite named objects [Moo Jester]
|
|
|
|
* Added the possibility for shared partials. Example:
|
|
|
|
<%= render_partial "advertisement/ad", ad %>
|
|
|
|
This will render the partial "advertisement/_ad.rhtml" regardless of which controller this is being called from.
|
|
|
|
[Jacob Fugal]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed crash when encountering forms that have empty-named fields [James Prudente]
|
|
|
|
* Added check_box form helper method now accepts true/false as well as 1/0 [what-a-day]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed the lacking creation of all directories with install.rb [Dave Steinberg]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that date_select returns valid XHTML selected options [Andreas Schwarz]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed referencing an action with the same name as a controller in url_for [what-a-day]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed the destructive nature of Base#attributes= on the argument [Kevin Watt]
|
|
|
|
* Changed ActionControllerError to decent from StandardError instead of Exception. It can now be caught by a generic rescue.
|
|
|
|
* Added SessionRestoreError that is raised when a session being restored holds objects where there is no class available.
|
|
|
|
* Added block as option for inline filters. So what used to be written as:
|
|
|
|
before_filter Proc { |controller| return false if controller.params["stop_action"] }
|
|
|
|
...can now be as:
|
|
|
|
before_filter { |controller| return false if controller.params["stop_action"] }
|
|
|
|
[Jeremy Kemper]
|
|
|
|
* Made the following methods public (was protected): url_for, controller_class_name, controller_name, action_name
|
|
This makes it easier to write filters without cheating around the encapsulation with send.
|
|
|
|
* ActionController::Base#reset_session now sticks even if you access @session afterwards [Kent Sibilev]
|
|
|
|
* Improved the exception logging so the log file gets almost as much as in-browser debugging.
|
|
|
|
* Changed base class setup from AbstractTemplate/ERbTemplate to ActionView::Base. This change should be harmless unless you were
|
|
accessing Action View directly in which case you now need to reference the Base class.\
|
|
|
|
* Added that render_collection_of_partials returns nil if the collection is empty. This makes showing a “no items” message easier.
|
|
For example: <%= render_collection_of_partials("message", @messages) || "No messages found." %> [Sam Stephenson]
|
|
|
|
* Added :month_before_year as an option to date_select to get the month select before the year. Especially useful for credit card forms.
|
|
|
|
* Added :add_month_numbers to select_month to get options like "3 - March".
|
|
|
|
* Removed Base.has_active_layout? as it couldn't answer the question without the instance. Use Base#active_layout instead.
|
|
|
|
* Removed redundant call to update on ActionController::Base#close_session [Andreas Schwarz]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that DRb Store accidently started its own server (instead of just client) [Andreas]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed strip_links so it now works across multiple lines [Chad Fowler]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed the TemplateError exception to show the proper trace on to_s (useful for unit test debugging)
|
|
|
|
* Implemented class inheritable attributes without eval [Caio Chassot]
|
|
|
|
* Made TextHelper#concat accept binding as it would otherwise not work
|
|
|
|
* The FormOptionsHelper will now call to_s on the keys and values used to generate options
|
|
|
|
|
|
*0.8.5*
|
|
|
|
* Introduced passing of locally scoped variables between templates:
|
|
|
|
You can pass local variables to sub templates by using a hash of with the variable
|
|
names as keys and the objects as values:
|
|
|
|
<%= render "shared/header", { "headline" => "Welcome", "person" => person } %>
|
|
|
|
These can now be accessed in shared/header with:
|
|
|
|
Headline: <%= headline %>
|
|
First name: <%= person.first_name %>
|
|
|
|
* Introduced the concept of partials as a certain type of sub templates:
|
|
|
|
There's also a convenience method for rendering sub templates within the current
|
|
controller that depends on a single object (we call this kind of sub templates for
|
|
partials). It relies on the fact that partials should follow the naming convention
|
|
of being prefixed with an underscore -- as to separate them from regular templates
|
|
that could be rendered on their own. In the template for Advertiser#buy, we could have:
|
|
|
|
<% for ad in @advertisements %>
|
|
<%= render_partial "ad", ad %>
|
|
<% end %>
|
|
|
|
This would render "advertiser/_ad.rhtml" and pass the local variable +ad+
|
|
for the template to display.
|
|
|
|
== Rendering a collection of partials
|
|
|
|
The example of partial use describes a familar pattern where a template needs
|
|
to iterate over a array and render a sub template for each of the elements.
|
|
This pattern has been implemented as a single method that accepts an array and
|
|
renders a partial by the same name of as the elements contained within. So the
|
|
three-lined example in "Using partials" can be rewritten with a single line:
|
|
|
|
<%= render_collection_of_partials "ad", @advertisements %>
|
|
|
|
So this will render "advertiser/_ad.rhtml" and pass the local variable +ad+ for
|
|
the template to display.
|
|
|
|
* Improved send_file by allowing a wide range of options to be applied [Jeremy Kemper]:
|
|
|
|
Sends the file by streaming it 4096 bytes at a time. This way the
|
|
whole file doesn't need to be read into memory at once. This makes
|
|
it feasible to send even large files.
|
|
|
|
Be careful to sanitize the path parameter if it coming from a web
|
|
page. send_file(@params['path'] allows a malicious user to
|
|
download any file on your server.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
* <tt>:filename</tt> - specifies the filename the browser will see.
|
|
Defaults to File.basename(path).
|
|
* <tt>:type</tt> - specifies an HTTP content type.
|
|
Defaults to 'application/octet-stream'.
|
|
* <tt>:disposition</tt> - specifies whether the file will be shown inline or downloaded.
|
|
Valid values are 'inline' and 'attachment' (default).
|
|
* <tt>:buffer_size</tt> - specifies size (in bytes) of the buffer used to stream
|
|
the file. Defaults to 4096.
|
|
|
|
The default Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers are
|
|
set to download arbitrary binary files in as many browsers as
|
|
possible. IE versions 4, 5, 5.5, and 6 are all known to have
|
|
a variety of quirks (especially when downloading over SSL).
|
|
|
|
Simple download:
|
|
send_file '/path/to.zip'
|
|
|
|
Show a JPEG in browser:
|
|
send_file '/path/to.jpeg', :type => 'image/jpeg', :disposition => 'inline'
|
|
|
|
Read about the other Content-* HTTP headers if you'd like to
|
|
provide the user with more information (such as Content-Description).
|
|
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.11
|
|
|
|
Also be aware that the document may be cached by proxies and browsers.
|
|
The Pragma and Cache-Control headers declare how the file may be cached
|
|
by intermediaries. They default to require clients to validate with
|
|
the server before releasing cached responses. See
|
|
http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/ for an overview of web caching and
|
|
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.9
|
|
for the Cache-Control header spec.
|
|
|
|
* Added pluralize method to the TextHelper that makes it easy to get strings like "1 message", "3 messages"
|
|
|
|
* Added proper escaping for the rescues [Andreas Schwartz]
|
|
|
|
* Added proper escaping for the option and collection tags [Andreas Schwartz]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed NaN errors on benchmarking [Jim Weirich]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed query string parsing for URLs that use the escaped versions of & or ; as part of a key or value
|
|
|
|
* Fixed bug with custom Content-Type headers being in addition to rather than instead of the default header.
|
|
(This bug didn't matter with neither CGI or mod_ruby, but FCGI exploded on it) [With help from Ara T. Howard]
|
|
|
|
|
|
*0.8.0*
|
|
|
|
* Added select, collection_select, and country_select to make it easier for Active Records to set attributes through
|
|
drop-down lists of options. Example:
|
|
|
|
<%= select "person", "gender", %w( Male Female ) %>
|
|
|
|
...would give the following:
|
|
|
|
<select name="person[gender]" id="person_gender"><option>Male</option><option>Female</option></select>
|
|
|
|
* Added an option for getting multiple values on a single form name into an array instead of having the last one overwrite.
|
|
This is especially useful for groups of checkboxes, which can now be written as:
|
|
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="rights[]" value="CREATE" />
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="rights[]" value="UPDATE" />
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="rights[]" value="DELETE" />
|
|
|
|
...and retrieved in the controller action with:
|
|
|
|
@params["rights"] # => [ "CREATE", "UPDATE", "DELETE" ]
|
|
|
|
The old behavior (where the last one wins, "DELETE" in the example) is still available. Just don't add "[]" to the
|
|
end of the name. [Scott Baron]
|
|
|
|
* Added send_file which uses the new render_text block acceptance to make it feasible to send large files.
|
|
The files is sent with a bunch of voodoo HTTP headers required to get arbitrary files to download as
|
|
expected in as many browsers as possible (eg, IE hacks). Example:
|
|
|
|
def play_movie
|
|
send_file "/movies/that_movie.avi"
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
[Jeremy Kemper]
|
|
|
|
* render_text now accepts a block for deferred rendering. Useful for streaming large files, displaying
|
|
a “please wait” message during a complex search, etc. Streaming example:
|
|
|
|
render_text do |response|
|
|
File.open(path, 'rb') do |file|
|
|
while buf = file.read(1024)
|
|
print buf
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
[Jeremy Kemper]
|
|
|
|
* Added a new Tag Helper that can generate generic tags programmatically insted of through HTML. Example:
|
|
|
|
tag("br", "clear" => "all") => <br clear="all" />
|
|
|
|
...that's usually not terribly interesting (unless you have a lot of options already in a hash), but it
|
|
gives way for more specific tags, like the new form tag:
|
|
|
|
form_tag({ :controller => "weblog", :action => "update" }, { :multipart => "true", "style" => "width: 200px"}) =>
|
|
<form action="/weblog/update" enctype="multipart/formdata" style="width: 200px">
|
|
|
|
There's even a "pretty" version for people who don't like to open tags in code and close them in HTML:
|
|
|
|
<%= start_form_tag :action => "update" %>
|
|
# all the input fields
|
|
<%= end_form_tag %>
|
|
|
|
(end_form_tag just returns "</form>")
|
|
|
|
* The selected parameter in options_for_select may now also an array of values to be selected when
|
|
using a multiple select. Example:
|
|
|
|
options_for_select([ "VISA", "Mastercard", "Discover" ], ["VISA", "Discover"]) =>
|
|
<option selected>VISA</option>\n<option>Mastercard</option>\n<option selected>Discover</option>
|
|
|
|
[Scott Baron]
|
|
|
|
* Changed the URL rewriter so controller_prefix and action_prefix can be used in isolation. You can now do:
|
|
|
|
url_for(:controller_prefix => "clients")
|
|
|
|
...or:
|
|
|
|
url_for(:action_prefix => "category/messages")
|
|
|
|
Neither would have worked in isolation before (:controller_prefix required a :controller and :action_prefix required an :action)
|
|
|
|
* Started process of a cleaner separation between Action Controller and ERb-based Action Views by introducing an
|
|
abstract base class for views. And Amita adapter could be fitted in more easily now.
|
|
|
|
* The date helper methods date_select and datetime_select now also use the field error wrapping
|
|
(div with class fieldWithErrors by default).
|
|
|
|
* The date helper methods date_select and datetime_select can now discard selects
|
|
|
|
* Added option on AbstractTemplate to specify a different field error wrapping. Example:
|
|
|
|
ActionView::AbstractTemplate.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html, instance|
|
|
"<p>#{instance.method_name + instance.error_message}</p><div style='background-color: red'>#{html}</div>"
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
...would give the following on a Post#title (text field) error:
|
|
|
|
<p>Title can't be empty</p>
|
|
<div style='background-color: red'>
|
|
<input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="Hello World" />
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
* The UrlHelper methods url_for and link_to will now by default only return paths, not complete URIs.
|
|
That should make it easier to fit a Rails application behind a proxy or load-balancer.
|
|
You can overwrite this by passing :only_path => false as part of the options. [Suggested by U235]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed bug with having your own layout for use with scaffolding [Kevin Radloff]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed bug where redirect_to_path didn't append the port on non-standard ports [dhawkins]
|
|
|
|
* Scaffolding plays nicely with single-table inheritance (LoadErrors are caught) [Jeremy Kemper]
|
|
|
|
* Scaffolding plays nice with plural models like Category/categories [Jeremy Kemper]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed missing suffix appending in scaffolding [Kevin Radloff]
|
|
|
|
|
|
*0.7.9*
|
|
|
|
* The "form" method now present boolean fields from PostgreSQL as drop-down menu. [Scott]
|
|
|
|
* Scaffolding now automatically attempts to require the class that's being scaffolded.
|
|
|
|
* Scaffolding will use the current active layout, instead of its own, if one has been specified. Example:
|
|
|
|
class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
|
|
layout "layouts/weblog"
|
|
scaffold :post
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
[Suggested by Scott]
|
|
|
|
* Changed url_for (and all the that drives, like redirect_to, link_to, link_for) so you can pass it a symbol instead of a hash.
|
|
This symbol is a method reference which is then called to calculate the url. Example:
|
|
|
|
class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
|
|
def update
|
|
# do some update
|
|
redirect_to :dashboard_url
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
protected
|
|
def dashboard_url
|
|
if @project.active?
|
|
url_for :controller => "project", :action => "dashboard"
|
|
else
|
|
url_for :controller => "account", :action => "dashboard"
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
* Added default_url_options to specialize behavior for all url_for (and friends) calls:
|
|
|
|
Overwrite to implement a number of default options that all url_for-based methods will use.
|
|
The default options should come in form of a hash, just like the one you would use for
|
|
url_for directly. Example:
|
|
|
|
def default_url_options(options)
|
|
{ :controller_prefix => @project.active? ? "projects/" : "accounts/" }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
As you can infer from the example, this is mostly useful for situations where you want to
|
|
centralize dynamic dissions about the urls as they stem from the business domain. Please note
|
|
that any individual url_for call can always override the defaults set by this method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Changed url_for so that an "id" passed in the :params is not treated special. You need to use the dedicated :id to get
|
|
the special auto path-params treatment. Considering the url http://localhost:81/friends/list
|
|
|
|
url_for(:action => "show", :params => { "id" => 5 })
|
|
...used to give http://localhost:81/friends/show/5
|
|
......now gives http://localhost:81/friends/show?id=5
|
|
|
|
If you want the automated id behavior, do:
|
|
|
|
url_for(:action => "show", :id => 5 )
|
|
....which gives http://localhost:81/friends/show/5
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed problem with anchor being inserted before path parameters with url_for (and friends)
|
|
|
|
|
|
*0.7.8*
|
|
|
|
* Fixed session bug where you couldn't store any objects that didn't exist in the standard library
|
|
(such as Active Record objects).
|
|
|
|
* Added reset_session method for Action Controller objects to clear out all objects in the session.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed that exceptions raised during filters are now also caught by the default rescues
|
|
|
|
* Added new around_filter for doing before and after filtering with a single object [Florian Weber]:
|
|
|
|
class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
|
|
around_filter BenchmarkingFilter.new
|
|
|
|
# Before this action is performed, BenchmarkingFilter#before(controller) is executed
|
|
def index
|
|
end
|
|
# After this action has been performed, BenchmarkingFilter#after(controller) is executed
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
class BenchmarkingFilter
|
|
def initialize
|
|
@runtime
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
def before
|
|
start_timer
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
def after
|
|
stop_timer
|
|
report_result
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
* Added the options for specifying a different name and id for the form helper methods than what is guessed [Florian Weber]:
|
|
|
|
text_field "post", "title"
|
|
...just gives: <input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="" />
|
|

text_field "post", "title", "id" => "title_for_post", "name" => "first_post_title"
|
|
...can now give: <input id="title_for_post" name="first_post_title" size="30" type="text" value="" />
|
|
|
|
* Added DebugHelper with a single "debug" method for doing pretty dumps of objects in the view
|
|
(now used in the default rescues to better present the contents of session and template variables)
|
|
|
|
* Added note to log about the templates rendered within layouts (before just the layout was shown)
|
|
|
|
* Fixed redirects on https setups [Andreas]
|
|
|
|
* Fixed scaffolding problem on the edit action when using :suffix => true [Scott]

|
|
* Fixed bug in CGI extension that prevented multipart forms from working
|
|
|
|

|
* Included ERB::Util so all templates can easily escape HTML content with <%=h @person.content %>
|
|
|
|
* All requests are now considered local by default, so everyone will be exposed to detailed debugging screens on errors.
|
|
When the application is ready to go public, set ActionController::Base.consider_all_requests_local to false,
|
|
and implement the protected method local_request? in the controller to determine when debugging screens should be shown.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed three bugs with the url_for/redirect_to/link_to handling. Considering the url http://localhost:81/friends/show/1
|
|
|
|
url_for(:action => "list")
|
|
...used to give http://localhost:81/friends/list/1
|
|
......now gives http://localhost:81/friends/list
|
|
|
|
url_for(:controller => "friends", :action => "destroy", :id => 5)
|
|
...used to give http://localhost:81/friends/destroy
|
|
......now gives http://localhost:81/friends/destroy/5
|
|
|
|
Considering the url http://localhost:81/teachers/show/t
|
|
|
|
url_for(:action => "list", :id => 5)
|
|
...used to give http://localhost:81/5eachers/list/t
|
|
......now gives http://localhost:81/teachers/list/5
