New RJS naming convention

Rails
1

I’ve renamed my .rhtml files to .html.erb and everything works fine.

Renaming .rjs to .js.rjs; however, does not. Pages don’t render unless
I specifically tell them to using render :template.

Any thoughts? Is the .js.rjs naming convention not quite ready yet?

Thanks,

Norman

Yes, you need the “respond_to do |format|” specified in your
controller. Prior to 2.0, rjs files worked without this. Now they
don’t, as far as I can tell.

Yes, js.rjs works just fine in Rails 2.0.2.

You must be missing something. I did a simple useless test to just
hide a div using RJS. Here how it looks:

routes.rb:
map.resources :offers, :collection => { :hide => :get }

offers_controller:
def hide
respond_to do |format|
format.js
end
end

hide.js.rjs:
page.hide “hide_me”

index.html.erb:

<%= link_to_remote "Hide Me", :url => { :action => 'hide' } %>

Some stuff to hide

application.html.erb:

Hello World <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <%= yield %>
