Link_to popup divorced from controller?

yachtman · November 15, 2007, 5:29pm

Here’s my case:
Using a link_to popup window to show a related help file of an element
on a page.

The problem:
Window pops up perfectly, but refuses to carryover @instance variables
in the controller that I referenced in the link_to command.

The tests:

I have the right controller/class, because it renders a specific
template, which is what it does.
I have the right template/view, because it reflects all of the html
and content–other than the variables.
I instantiated @time = Time.now in the controller-class, but @time
in the view does not show up. If I simply call <%= Time.now %> – it
works, but this does explain why the controller is not sending the
variables.

I am stumped??? Any insightful soul with an answer???

The fact that it’s a popup changes nothing: as far as rails is
concerned these are 2 completetly separate requests.

Is it possible the javascript negates the variables?

Here is my code…

First the link in profile.rhtml
<%= link_to “?”, { :action => “funny”}, :popup => [‘Help’,
‘height=600px, width=600px’] %>

user_controller.rb
def funny
render :layout => false
@helpy = Help.find(:first)

end

funny.rhtml

<%= @helpy.content %> should be here...

### Here is the error from the popup windo: NoMethodError in User#funny

Showing app/views/user/funny.rhtml where line #2 raised:

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.content

And if I replace the

@helpy = Help.find(:first)    [in the controller and the following

from the view] @helpy.content

which might be a database problem, with simply

@time = Time.now …and … @time

The popup generates fine with no errors, but there is no output for
the variable–its blank!

yachtman · November 16, 2007, 4:59am

Not at all. Javascript runs on the client and the client never sees ruby
variables. You need to set @helpy before you render the template:

def funny
@helpy = Help.find(:first)
render :layout => false
end

Window pops up perfectly, but refuses to carryover @instance variables
variables.

The fact that it’s apopupchanges nothing: as far as rails is
concerned these are 2 completetly separate requests.

Bill,

Thanks a kazillion! Your help is most appreciated. Totally makes

Finally back to some productive work.
