A new Rails idea in views and no more controller. maybe better maybe worse, i need help if this is t
- by Totty
Hy,
I was thinking that all my website will have use of cells, using the known plugin cell for rails, so this is my idea:
A table that contains 3 fields: id, view_name and layout. the layout will be a serialized hash.
When a request is made, the layout field is requested and then in the view, default layout, will be unserialized the layout var, that looks like this:
@layout[:sidecol][:gallery] = {... some params for it...};
@layout[:maincol][:comments] = {..params...};
In the <% #ruby code to render the cells in the @layout[:sidecol] % will be some ruby code that will loop over the @layout[:sidecol] and render all cells in it. the same occurs in the maincol div.
What do you think?
Positive in my opinion:
More modular
controller is used only for post
easy change of structure
easier to implement some kind of traking to see diferences on what layout is better or not.
Negative:
not found yet
