Forum: Ruby on Rails Rails 1.2 / Theme support plugin issue: Fix

This is to answer one of my old issues, that I was having using Theme
support plugin using with Rails 1.2.

When you get an latest edge Rails update and run your application which
has Theme support plugin you will get following error

/script/../config/../vendor/plugins/theme_support/lib/patches/routeset_ex.rb:26:in
`create_theme_routes': undefined method `named_route' for
#<ActionController::Routing::RouteSet:0x1313b78> (NoMethodError)
 from
./script/../config/../vendor/plugins/theme_support/lib/patches/routeset_ex.rb:13:in
`draw'
 from ./script/../config/../config/routes.rb:1


Fix that I found for this is

# Go to vendor/plugins/theme_support/lib/patches/routeset_ex.rb
# Replace "draw" method with following

   def draw
        clear!
        create_theme_routes
        yield Mapper.new(self)
        named_routes.install
   end

# In create_theme_routes method
  - replace named_route with add_named_route
  - replace connect with add_route

So your create_theme_routes should look like this

  def create_theme_routes
    add_named_route 'theme_images', "/themes/:theme/images/:filename",
:controller=>'theme', :action=>'images'
    add_named_route 'theme_stylesheets',
"/themes/:theme/stylesheets/:filename", :controller=>'theme',
:action=>'stylesheets'
    add_named_route 'theme_javascript',
"/themes/:theme/javascript/:filename", :controller=>'theme',
:action=>'javascript'

    add_route "/themes/*whatever", :controller=>'theme',
:action=>'error'
  end

This should do the trick. I have tested this on Rails 1.2.1 and 1.2.2

Thank you!

Sorry for real delayed answer. I have not played with Rails 1.2.3
release yet. If I have any update for that I will post it here

Rajesh,

Thank you for posting this fix!
I've been hitting problem after problem while learning how to use Ruby 
on Rails (and themes,) and this fixed my problem!

I'm using Rails 1.2.3  and the fix you described WORKS for Rails 1.2.3 
on Mac OS X (at least).
Thanks again!

Andy

But I have another question...

How do you get the layout part working?

For example, if a theme has a particular layout that I want to use...
what do I need to fix in order to be able to use a theme's layout?
