Wiki page in new tab

Added by Nick Bolton almost 14 years ago

I am trying to create a new plugin which displays a specific wiki page in a new tab. So far I have extended the WikiController, but I can't see how to tell my plugin to use the wiki's existing views. How might I do this?

Perhaps I'm solving the problem the wrong way - if so please tell me.

Have a look at the rails redner method, IIRC it allows you to specify the views you want rendered when calling the action you are executing.

It seems that the render method was getting the view by joining @controller_path and @action_name to find the view in various paths. So in my case, it was looking for "foo/view.erb" where I needed it to be looking for "wiki/view.erb". One way of doing this is to just change @controller_path to "wiki" - though I can imagine this would have negative side effects if your controller were to do non-wiki stuff.

I am aware that this is doing a similar thing to the wiki extensions plugin, but I don't like the way it just redirects the tab to a wiki page -- it's quick and dirty, but kind of confusing for the user.
