Can Haz Modal

=============

Requests with the format of :partial will now render with no layout

The format will be adjusted back to :html so that your html views will be rendered even when the :partial format is specified

Two things you will need to do to take advantage of this plugin:

  

  1. add :format => :partial to links that you want to open in a modal

  

    Example: new_user_session_path(:format => :partial)

    

  2. Setup some sort of modal javascript library and make it open for links that end with .partial

    Here is an example using jQuery and Boxy:

      $('[href$=.partial]').boxy();

  3. Profit

Rails 3

=======

This plugin has not been ported to rails 3 yet. I promise I'll get to it soon.

In the mean time, it's really easy to just copy over the bits you need:

Add the mime type to your initializers (config/initializers/mime_types.rb):

  Mime::Type.register_alias 'text/html', :partial

Put this in your ApplicationController:

  before_filter :adjust_format_for_partial

  layout :no_layout_for_xhr

  helper_method :is_partial?

  private

  def no_layout_for_xhr

    is_partial? ? nil : 'application'

  end

  def adjust_format_for_partial

    if request.format == :partial then

      @__partial = !!request.xhr?

      request.format = :html # reset format to html so that people don't have to rename their view files

    else

      @__partial = false

    end

  end

  def is_partial?

    @__partial

  end
