Calling rails from a server-side include?

Rails
1

Hi,

99% of my site is rails, but I have a tiny php section I just cant
get rid of (phpbb3). I’ve turned on server-side includes on my site and
my
phpbb3 template starts with this:

…

The problem is, rails isn’t recognizing that it was called as
“/main/header”; I get this error in my development.log:

ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match
“/forum/index.php”
with {:method=>:get}):

Does anybody know how to get around this? I was thinking of just
adding a “/forum/*” route to explicitly point to the header, but then
there’s the problem of the footer… Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

Okay, after hacking around a bit, I figured something out, but it’s
REALLY
hacky. :slight_smile:

Step #1: Include this code when rails starts up:

module ActionController
class CgiRequest < AbstractRequest
alias old_request_uri request_uri
def request_uri
if params[‘RAILS_ROUTE’]
if Array === params[‘RAILS_ROUTE’]
return params[‘RAILS_ROUTE’][0]
else
return params[‘RAILS_ROUTE’]
end
else
return old_request_uri
end
end
end
end

Step #2: reference rails from SSI this way:

This is fragile and hacky, but it works for what I need!

Cheers,
Tyler
