How to render a Partial from a Model in Rails 2.3.5
- by empire29
I have a Rails 2.3.5 application and Im trying to render several Partials from within a Model (i know, i know -- im not supposed to). The reason im doing this is im integrating a Comet server (APE) into my Rails app and need to push updates out based on the Model's events (ex. after_create).
I have tried doing this:
ActionView::Base.new(Rails::Configuration.new.view_path).render(:partial => "pages/show", :locals => {:page => self})
Which allows me to render simple partials that don't user helpers, however if I try to user a link_to in my partial, i receive an error stating:
undefined method `url_for' for nil:NilClass
I've made sure that the object being passed into the "project_path(project)" is not nil. I've also tried including:
include ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper
include ActionController::UrlWriter
in the Module that contains the method that makes the above "render" call.
Does anyone know how to work around this?
Thanks
