Hi,

I just installed Globalize and I’m very excited about it!

Using it with the default

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’

in config/routes.rb, there is no problem, but so far I set

map.connect ‘:locale/:controller/:action/:id’

to pass the language trough the URL, it seems to enter  
in an infine loop when I have a view with a render\_component() call.

For sure in both above cases, the Locale.set()  
is in app/controllers/application.rb.

Is it an already known bug?  
Is there a way around?

Thanks for hints

I found the problem.

It was something else in the application.rb.

Actually the

map.connect ‘:locale/:controller/:action/:id’

works very well.

Bye

PS: If you’re in the same problem, I’ll explain you how to prevent the  
loop.

Hi,

I have the same problem with render\_component. Initialy, I jsut need to  
ad on the right side a list of tag for a weblog. So I would like to  
display a list of tag on every webpage (using the controller ‘tag’ and  
the action ‘listing’), even if the main controller of the current page  
is not ‘tag’. I don’t know if I can use a other way then  
render\_component to do so, but when I use it, I get a infinite loop…  
such as:
