output nothing when the content is blank. Now they can ge given the 'empty' attribute causing the tag to be output even if the content is blank. New tag Tag library: Rapid forms will now not output hidden fields for attributes on new records that are in their default state. now has a default ajax message for creating new objects. now supports forgery protection -- better handling of the 'field with errors' wrapper for passwords now accepts extra html attributes New for enum-strings - a select menu. New for big decimals now supports non ajax remote method calls (when no update="..." is given) css classes on buttons renamed from "button_input" to "button" now supports confirm="&false" none_message attribute renamed to blank_message Conditions on belongs_to are now observed (only eligible records are in the menu) New template tag - like the error_messages_for helper with added Hobo goodness. Tag library: Rapid navigation now hides without errors if there is no @pages object now ignores nested tags when selecting the current nav item. Tag library: Rapid pages Significant re-factoring of all page tags -- see source :-) tag - like helper javascript_include_tag New pages and Tag library: Rapid support various new params === Release 0.6.2 === Specs Moved out of the plugin source into a separate directory in the hierarchy. If you check out hobo/trunk you'll get two directories: hobo and hobo_spec. You can run "rake" from the hobo directory and it should work as long as hobo_spec is along side. Note the hobo_spec tree contains an svn external to edge rails. New rake task dump_fixtures (which really should be nicely namespaced). This will dump the current database into test fixtures. The nice part is that it won't overwrite symbolic names you've given to rows in your fixtures, so you can round-trip with it: rake db:fixtures:load, run up the app and create some new data, rake dump_fixtures. Migration generator Fixed indentation bug in generated code. Now prompts for the name of the generated migration after the generated code is displayed. Better error message for invalid field types declared in models. Tabla theme Fixed reference to non-existent human_type helper. Hobo users Various fixes to the new (in 0.6.1) multiple user model support. If the model name is "User", the routes generated are simply: /login /logout /signup (as opposed to /user_login etc.) The filter "login_required" can now be passed a user model (class), e.g. before_filter {|controller| controller.login_required(Administrator) } The named routes "login", "logout" and "signup" are no longer defined. Instead there are helpers login_url, signup_url and logout_url, all of which are passed a user model (class) as parameter. New declaration 'hobo_user_model' can be used in place of hobo_model and removes the need to include Hobo::AuthenticatedUser. Can be passed the name of the login field, which removes the need to call set_login_attr. Can also be passed a block in which to do validations of the login attr (just as you can with set_login_attr). User models now have a class method login_attr that returns the name of the login attribute, e.g. :username Guest model should now extend Hobo::Guest, which provides #guest (true!) and #super_user (false) User models now inherit #guest? (returns false). No need to define it yourself. Hobo models Optimisation. Where possible we've replaced calls to #respond_to? (which is slow on AR records) with the new class method #has_hobo_method? which is an alias for #respond_to_without_attributes? "fields do" now supports shorthands for common validations validates_uniqueness_of and validates_presence_of, e.g.: fields do name :string, :required, :unique end If you need to change the validation method, just go back to the old way. The creator attribute mechanism is updated to cope with multiple user models. Hobo will not try to set the creator attribute if the expected type is not the same as the type of the logged in user. Various enhancements to composable query blocks MyModel.has_creator? replaced with MyModel.creator_type which returns the expected user class or nil if there is no creator attribute. Fix: def_scope was broken with has_many :through associations. Integration test helpers #logs_in_as updated to cope with multiple user types. Core extensions New method Object._? can be used to avoid an extra test for nil, e.g. string_or_nil._?.length is equivalent to string_or_nil && string_or_nil.length Hobo extensions to HashWithIndifferentAccess fixed to always return indifferent hashes. Hobo controller Fix to #render_tags (problem with part contexts javascript) Fix to include_taglib declaration (was not working in production mode). Hobo model controller Largely re-written handling of http PUT and POST (update & create). The new mechanism is more secure, more featureful and is transactional. If your put/post affects multiple database rows, they will either all happen or none will. See the model_controller_spec for some good examples of what is allowed / possible. def_data_filter is gone. Instead you can declare data filters from within the action methods: def index data_filter :search do |query| name_contains(query) | address_contains(query) end hobo_index end Declare data filters for autocompleters in the same way by giving a block to autocomplete_for #index now supports a "sort" parameter. The value should be or .. Precede with a '-' to sort in descending order. e.g. http://host/users?sort=-username Provide the :order parameter to hobo_index to disable. The mechanism to call a tag if there is no show.dryml is extended to work with any action name. So e.g. you can define as an application wide page for any action "foo". Hobo user controller Options can now be given as procs, in which case they are called only when needed and hence have access to things like current_user (e.g. the redirect destination for a logged in user can take into account who the user is) #hobo_login can be given a block -- a place to check if the users account is available. Return false to prevent the user from loggin in. Hobo module #can_view? can now be given dotted field paths. E.g: Hobo.can_view(current_user, post, "author.name") Hobo Rapid Adding low_pro.js (from the UJS project). First step towards complete adoption of unobstrusive JavaScript. Fix to client side of new ajax mechanism. Had problems with not URL encoding part state. New taglib rapid_plus, home of tags with an extra level of functionality. First and only tag: a table with automatic support for sorting by clicking on column headings, and filtering rows via a search field.
