tracks/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/layout.rb
Luke Melia 901a58f8a3 Upgraded to Rails 2.1. This can have wide ranging consequences, so please help track down any issues introduced by the upgrade. Requires environment.rb modifications.
Changes you will need to make:

 * In your environment.rb, you will need to update references to a few files per environment.rb.tmpl
 * In your environment.rb, you will need to specify the local time zone of the computer that is running your Tracks install.

Other notes on my changes:

 * Modified our code to take advantage of Rails 2.1's slick time zone support.
 * Upgraded will_paginate for compatibility
 * Hacked the Selenium on Rails plugin, which has not been updated in some time and does not support Rails 2.1
 * Verified that all tests pass on my machine, including Selenium tests -- I'd like confirmation from others, too.

# Layouts reverse the common pattern of including shared headers and footers in many templates to isolate changes in
# repeated setups. The inclusion pattern has pages that look like this:
#
# <%= render "shared/header" %>
# Hello World
# <%= render "shared/footer" %>
#
# This approach is a decent way of keeping common structures isolated from the changing content, but it's verbose
# and if you ever want to change the structure of these two includes, you'll have to change all the templates.
#
# With layouts, you can flip it around and have the common structure know where to insert changing content. This means
# that the header and footer are only mentioned in one place, like this:
#
# // The header part of this layout
# <%= yield %>
# // The footer part of this layout
#
# And then you have content pages that look like this:
#
# hello world
#
# At rendering time, the content page is computed and then inserted in the layout, like this:
#
# // The header part of this layout
# hello world
# // The footer part of this layout
#
# NOTE: The old notation for rendering the view from a layout was to expose the magic <tt>@content_for_layout</tt> instance
# variable. The preferred notation now is to use <tt>yield</tt>, as documented above.
#
# == Accessing shared variables
#
# Layouts have access to variables specified in the content pages and vice versa. This allows you to have layouts with
# references that won't materialize before rendering time:
#
# <h1><%= @page_title %></h1>
# <%= yield %>
#
# ...and content pages that fulfill these references _at_ rendering time:
#
# <% @page_title = "Welcome" %>
# Off-world colonies offers you a chance to start a new life
#
# The result after rendering is:
#
# <h1>Welcome</h1>
# Off-world colonies offers you a chance to start a new life
#
# == Automatic layout assignment
#
# If there is a template in <tt>app/views/layouts/</tt> with the same name as the current controller then it will be automatically
# set as that controller's layout unless explicitly told otherwise. Say you have a WeblogController, for example. If a template named
# <tt>app/views/layouts/weblog.erb</tt> or <tt>app/views/layouts/weblog.builder</tt> exists then it will be automatically set as
# the layout for your WeblogController. You can create a layout with the name <tt>application.erb</tt> or <tt>application.builder</tt>
# and this will be set as the default controller if there is no layout with the same name as the current controller and there is
# no layout explicitly assigned with the +layout+ method. Nested controllers use the same folder structure for automatic layout.
# assignment. So an Admin::WeblogController will look for a template named <tt>app/views/layouts/admin/weblog.erb</tt>.
# Setting a layout explicitly will always override the automatic behaviour for the controller where the layout is set.
# Explicitly setting the layout in a parent class, though, will not override the child class's layout assignment if the child
# class has a layout with the same name.
#
# == Inheritance for layouts
#
# Layouts are shared downwards in the inheritance hierarchy, but not upwards. Examples:
#
# class BankController < ActionController::Base
# layout "bank_standard"
#
# class InformationController < BankController
#
# class VaultController < BankController
# layout :access_level_layout
#
# class EmployeeController < BankController
# layout nil
#
# The InformationController uses "bank_standard" inherited from the BankController, the VaultController overwrites
# and picks the layout dynamically, and the EmployeeController doesn't want to use a layout at all.
#
# == Types of layouts
#
# Layouts are basically just regular templates, but the name of this template needs not be specified statically. Sometimes
# you want to alternate layouts depending on runtime information, such as whether someone is logged in or not. This can
# be done either by specifying a method reference as a symbol or using an inline method (as a proc).
#
# The method reference is the preferred approach to variable layouts and is used like this:
#
# class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
# layout :writers_and_readers
#
# def index
# # fetching posts
# end
#
# private
# def writers_and_readers
# logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout"
# end
#
# Now when a new request for the index action is processed, the layout will vary depending on whether the person accessing
# is logged in or not.
#
# If you want to use an inline method, such as a proc, do something like this:
#
# class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
# layout proc{ |controller| controller.logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout" }
#
# Of course, the most common way of specifying a layout is still just as a plain template name:
#
# class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
# layout "weblog_standard"
#
# If no directory is specified for the template name, the template will by default be looked for in <tt>app/views/layouts/</tt>.
# Otherwise, it will be looked up relative to the template root.
#
# == Conditional layouts
#
# If you have a layout that by default is applied to all the actions of a controller, you still have the option of rendering
# a given action or set of actions without a layout, or restricting a layout to only a single action or a set of actions. The
# <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> options can be passed to the layout call. For example:
#
# class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
# layout "weblog_standard", :except => :rss
#
# # ...
#
# end
#
# This will assign "weblog_standard" as the WeblogController's layout except for the +rss+ action, which will not wrap a layout
# around the rendered view.
#
# Both the <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> condition can accept an arbitrary number of method references, so
# #<tt>:except => [ :rss, :text_only ]</tt> is valid, as is <tt>:except => :rss</tt>.
#
# == Using a different layout in the action render call
#
# If most of your actions use the same layout, it makes perfect sense to define a controller-wide layout as described above.
# Sometimes you'll have exceptions where one action wants to use a different layout than the rest of the controller.
# You can do this by passing a <tt>:layout</tt> option to the <tt>render</tt> call. For example:
#
# class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
# layout "weblog_standard"
#
# def help
# render :action => "help", :layout => "help"
# end
# end
#
# This will render the help action with the "help" layout instead of the controller-wide "weblog_standard" layout.
module ClassMethods
# If a layout is specified, all rendered actions will have their result rendered
# when the layout <tt>yield</tt>s. This layout can itself depend on instance variables assigned during action
# performance and have access to them as any normal template would.
