hobo_render missing, how to do wants.xml

[Steve DeBaun]

I saw a post from last year, explaining how to do wants.xml in a hobo
method. It no longer works. I can't find hobo_render anywhere, and
it looks like the behavior for hobo_show &block has changed. How
should I do this now?

--- from post: ---

It's not a hobo feature as such, but you can do it easily. Pass a
block to the hobo action, and you have total control over the
response. Vars like @this will be ready to use

e.g. on show

def show
hobo_show do
respond_to do |wants|
wants.html do
hobo_render
end
wants.xml do
# up to you
end
end
end

def show
hobo_show do |format|
format.xml? do
...
end
format.html? do
# leave this to Hobo
end
end
end

Unfortunately that empty .html? block is required otherwise the html
repsonse breaks. You need to do the same with .js? if you want the
ajax stuff to work. Will look into how to avoid that in the future.

Hi Tom,

I tried to render XML from the sample advert controller with the
latest and greatest hobo, but it seems to not working that way:

=========================================
class AdvertsController < ApplicationController

hobo_model_controller

auto_actions :all

def show
hobo_show do |format|
format.xml? do

@advert = Advert.find params[:id]
render :xml => @advert

end
format.html? do
# leave this to Hobo
end
end
end

end
=========================================

But the result is:

=========================================
NameError in AdvertsController#show
wrong constant name HTML?

/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.2/lib/action_controller/
mime_responds.rb:146:in `const_get'
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.2/lib/action_controller/
mime_responds.rb:146:in `method_missing'
app/controllers/adverts_controller.rb:13:in `show'
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/hobo-0.8.3/lib/hobo/model_controller.rb:

app/controllers/adverts_controller.rb:8:in `show'
=========================================

Since I am hobo newbie, any help is very appreciated.

Thanks,
Niko

Hmmm - no idea what that's about. I'll investigate

There shouldn't be a ? on format.xml
