Ruby on Rails-如何从帮助文件中创建一个小部件？

Question

I have a app/helpers/application_helper.rb file with this code:

  def clippy(text, bgcolor = "#ffffff")
    text.gsub!('"',"'")
    path_to_swf = "/flash/clippy/clippy.swf"
    html = <<-EOF
      <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
              width="110"
              height="14"
              id="clippy" >
      <param name="movie" value="#{path_to_swf}"/>
      <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
      <param NAME="FlashVars" value="text=#{text}">
      <param name="bgcolor" value="#{bgcolor}">
      <embed src="#{path_to_swf}"
             width="110"
             height="14"
             name="clippy"
             quality="high"
             allowScriptAccess="always"
             type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
             pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
             FlashVars="text=#{text}"
             bgcolor="#{bgcolor}"
      />
      </object>
    EOF
    raw(html)
  end

and I am trying to use it in an HTML file (I use HAML so it is really a HAML file) but I am not sure what I need to do in order to actually call that code above and render the little clippy widget.

I have this HAML code to try to render the clippy:

.clippy-container=clippy("hello","#ffffff")

and I do that in a file located in app/views/my_file.html.haml

Any idea what I need to do in order to make the clippy render?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Isn't there a problem with

app/views/my_file.html.haml

Shouldn't it be

app/views/some_controller/my_file.html.haml

I tried your code, it works fine!
