[liquid] undefined method `call' for LiquidView:Class

[hiddenloop]

Hi,

- rails 2.2.2
- ruby 1.8.7 (2008-06-20 patchlevel 22) [i686-darwin9.3.0]
- liquid gem 1.90

Just trying to use the .liquid extension in my views, i've installed
the gem and added the init.rb file into rails initializers, when I
attempt to load a page with a .liquid view I get the error below.

Ive tried with both gem and plugin, same error in each case. Is there
a new way in Rails 2.2.2 to implement custom view extensions that
liquid isnt uptodate with perhaps? (using a self.call) ?

Any help appreciated,

Regards

Matt

Matt,

This is a known issue due to the template changes in Rails 2.2.2. A
fix is in the works.

Ah, ok - i'll just use the regular parsing for now then.
--or if i've time, attempt to write a patch

If anyone is interested I have been able to patch the .liquid
extension to work with Rails 2.2.2 - this patch works with both the
gem (1.9.0) or latest from github, in either case try using the
following files;

config/initializers/liquid.rb => http://pastie.org/363312
lib/liquid_filters.rb => http://pastie.org/363315

Now you can use something like this in your controller actions;

def test
@posts = Post.find(:all)
render :template => 'posts/test.liquid', :locals => {'posts' =>
@posts}
end

Heres an overview of the changes I made;

liquid.rb

-- Overrides LiquidView and registers template handler
-- adds self.call method to LiquidView (needed for Rails 2.2.2)
-- includes ApplicationHelper - also hard-codes in a filter class to
use :filters => [LiquidFilters, (is there a better way of passing the
filters in?)
-- local_assigns now filled by local_assigns_for_rails_less_than_2_1_0
- or template.locals

liquid_filters.rb

-- Just a place to put you're filters for use in templates, example
shows with using something like number_to_currency

This is by no means an official liquid patch or anything. Any changes
or help with the above patch is appreciated.

In reply to my own post, it seems this is enough to fix the problem
with Rails 2.2.2 and the .liquid extension;
config/initializers/liquid.rb => http://pastie.org/365287

You can then add your own filters with a regular call like,
Liquid::Template.register_filter(LiquidFilters)
