Aha!
the log had the clue - it says: Rendering student/destroy.rjs The page that I need updated belongs to the forms controller, and has a student and a user embedded scaffold on it. So it makes sense that the on_create.rjs and destroy.rjs actions belong to the student view given that this was the AS that I updated to cause the action. So now the on_create.rjs and destry.rjs gets called - the first problem was instance variables - which controller does this belong to when they get activated. No obvious solution so I replaced the instance variable with some code instead. Now that part works. Can instance variables not be used, and if they can - which is the corresponding controller method ? So when you have multiple embedded scaffolds on one page then you can tie in to the javascript actions of all the AS' on that page. All you need to do is to place override methods in the various views corresponding to the embedded AS's. So in my case drop in on_create.rjs and destroy.rjs in the student view. Shall I contribute a WIKI page to the github on this ? And if so - can you please send me a very brief description of what each of the RJS's in vendor/plugins/active_scaffold/lib/ active_scaffold/actions does ? /S On May 13, 10:59 am, Soren <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the update. > > Copied my on_create.rjs to destroy.rjs in the same view. > > When I create a new student Firebug/net (all) shows: > GET new?_method=get&.......... > GET close.gif > POST create?eid???? > > When I destroy a student Firebug/net (all) shows: > POST 107?_method=delete&...... > GET update_table?....... > > But no sign of on_create.rjs nor destroy.rjs > > The log shows that for destroy the destroy.rjs is rendered > but it does not show that the on_create.rjs is rendered > > /S > > On May 12, 11:57 pm, "Sergio Cambra .:: entreCables S.L. ::." > > <[email protected]> wrote: > > El Wednesday 13 May 2009 00:24:16 Soren escribió: > > > > Sergio, > > > > Thanks for the answer.
