Rails 3: Expiring cached public/index.html page - ruby-on-rails

I have the following line on my routes.rb file.
root :to => "portfolio#index"
I cached the index page as follow:
class PortfolioController < ApplicationController
caches_page :index
def index
#portfolio = Portfolio.where("featured = ? AND enabled = ?", false, true)
end
end
And the PortfolioSweeper.rb
class PortfolioSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe Portfolio
def after_save(portfolio)
expire_cache(portfolio)
end
def after_destroy(portfolio)
expire_cache(portfolio)
end
private
def expire_cache(portfolio)
expire_page :controller => 'portfolio', :action => 'index'
end
end
What is happening is that the expire_page only removes the /public/portfolio.html page but NOT /public/index.html page. Can you guys think of a way to remove both files?

Try just passing it the path, like:
expire_page '/index.html'

TokBox Controller / Model Ruby

UPDATE: I have solved the NilClass issue! Thanks!
Now I am having a problem with:
unknown attribute 'sessionId' for Room.
SOLVEDI am currently having some issues where my code is telling me I have an error of "undefined method `create_session' for nil:NilClass" on line 9. I will provide the files.
This is the specific line:
#new_room = Room.new(strong_param)
rooms_controller.rb
class RoomsController < ApplicationController
require "opentok"
before_filter :config_opentok,:except => [:index]
def index
#rooms = Room.where(:public => true).order("created_at DESC")
#new_room = Room.new
end
def create
session = #opentok.create_session :media_mode => :routed
params[:room][:sessionId] = session.session_id
#new_room = Room.new(strong_param)
respond_to do |format|
if #new_room.save
format.html { redirect_to(“/party/”+#new_room.id.to_s) }
else
format.html { render :controller => ‘rooms’, :action => “index” }
end
end
end
def party
#room = Room.find(params[:id])
#tok_token = #opentok.generate_token #room.sessionId
end
private
def config_opentok
if #opentok.nil?
#opentok = OpenTok::OpenTok.new ########, "#########################################"
end
end
def strong_param
params.require(:room).permit(:name,:sessionId)
end
end
rooms.rb (Models)
class Room < ActiveRecord::Base
end
I've tried several different modifications to these files to make my program work. I can get the listing page to work but once I try and actually create a new room, I receive this error message.
Look forward to any advice you can provide.
You are missing the before_filter :config_opentok,:except => [:index] line from the blog post in your previous post (https://railsfornovice.wordpress.com/2013/01/01/video-chatting-in-ruby-on-rails/)

when firing up the rails server, I get error in the YourSpace UsersController where this line of code #users = User.limit(100).order('created_at DESC') is apparently all jacked up. Please know I'm trying to duplicate 180 websites in 365 days which is mostly built using ruby and rails. I'm following closely along the repo to build muscle memory. very much new to learning how to think, and programming.
First thought was wrong.. to solve the problem change User to ::User
My first thought is that you need to put this YourSpace::UsersController in app/controllers/your_space/users_controller.rb. Rails forces directory structure.

Ruby on Rails: Dynamic function name, based on database

How can I create a dynamic function name in rails using the data in the database? I don't know if this is even possible.
here is a sample of my goal
class PageController < ApplicationController
def (PageModel.find(1)) #def stay
#codes here #codes here
end #end
end
I know the syntax is wrong. please help, thanks
Update
this function will only be called via routes, and in my routes I have this line
match "/:action", :controller => "page", :via => "get"
the function will look like this if it is manually generated
def stay
#some query
render 'stay_page', :layout => 'stay_page_layout'
end
def pleasure
#some query
render 'pleasure _page', :layout => 'pleasure _page_layout'
end
In routes.rb:
# Either this...
get "pages/:page", to: "pages#page"
# Or this, but make sure this is the last route in the file
get "/:page", to: "pages#page"
Your controller:
class PageController < ApplicationController
def page
#page = PageModel.find(params[:page])
end
end
If you just need to render different templates depending on the page, you can do this:
def page
#page = PageModel.find(params[:page])
render #page.name
end
If you need custom logic you could do something like this:
VALID_PAGES = ["contact_us"]
def page
#page = PageModel.find(params[:page])
execute(#page.name)
end
def execute(name)
if VALID_PAGES.include?(name)
send(name)
end
end
def contact_us
# do stuff
end
Assuming your PageModel have page_id and page_name, your url get page_id as an parameter, and will render with page_name.
code for controller:
class PageController < ApplicationController
def dynamic_action
page_name = PageModel.find(params[:page_id]).page_name
render "#{page_name}_page", :layout => "#{page_name}_page_layout"
end
end
route:
match '/:page_id' => 'page#dynamic_action'

Sweepers not working unless manually invoked, what is going on?

I have the following setup: A model called Categories. These categories are managed using ActiveAdmin. I want to cache the categories using page caching.
This is how I've setup my app/admin/categories.rb
ActiveAdmin.register Category do
controller do
cache_sweeper :category_sweeper
end
end
This is my sweeper:
class CategorySweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe Category
def after_save(category)
expire_cache(category)
end
def after_destroy(category)
expire_cache(category)
end
def expire_cache(category)
expire_page :controller => 'categories', :action => 'index', :format => 'json'
end
end
And here is my controller:
class CategoriesController < ApplicationController
caches_page :index
cache_sweeper :category_sweeper
respond_to :json
def index
#categories = Category.all
respond_with(#categories)
end
def show
CategorySweeper.instance.expire_cache(#category)
respond_with('manually sweeped!')
end
end
So the idea is when there is a change in the active admin the sweeper should get invoked. I set up debug.log and turns out it's working. But for some reason the cache does not expire!
But, if I do the show action (i.e. go to /categories/1.json then my manual sweeper kicks in and it works fine). So why is the sweeper only working when I invoke it and not when there is a change in the admin?
Thanks in advance,
-David
Your ActiveAdmin controller located in different namespace, see this SO question.
Shortly:
Add slash into cache expiration url code:
def expire_cache(category)
expire_page :controller => '/categories', :action => 'index', :format => 'json'
end

Rails Cache Sweeper

I'm trying to implement a Cache Sweeper which would filter a specific controller action.
class ProductsController < ActionController
caches_action :index
cache_sweeper :product_sweeper
def index
#products = Product.all
end
def update_some_state
#... do some stuff which doesn't trigger a product save, but invalidates cache
end
end
Sweeper Class:
class ProductSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe Product
#expire fragment after model update
def after_save
expire_fragment('all_available_products')
end
#expire different cache after controller method modifying state is called.
def after_update_some_state
expire_action(:controller => 'products', :action => 'index')
end
end
The ActiveRecord callback 'after_save' will work fine, but the callback on the controller action 'after_update_some_state' never seems to be called.
Looks like I was just missing the controller name when trying to get the callbacks for controller actions working. My Sweeper should be:
class ProductSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe Product
#expire fragment after model update
def after_save
expire_fragment('all_available_products')
end
#expire different cache after controller method modifying state is called.
def after_products_update_some_state
expire_action(:controller => 'products', :action => 'index')
end
#can also use before:
def before_products_update_some_state
#do something before.
end
end
I think your sweeper should look like this:
class ProductSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe Product
def after_save(product)
expire_cache(product)
end
def after_destroy(product)
expire_cache(product)
end
private
def expire_cache(product)
expire_fragment('all_available_products')
expire_page(:controller => 'products', :action => 'index')
end
after_index isn't a callback unless you define it.
In the controller you should specify those actions in which the sweeper should be triggered, in a restful way those actions should be create, update, destroy, so your controller declaration should look like:
class ProductsController < ActionController
caches_action :index
cache_sweeper :product_sweeper, :only => [:create, :update, :destroy]
def index
#products = Product.all
end
def create
#product = Product.new(params[:product])
if #product.save # triggers the sweeper.
# do something
else
# do something else
end
end
# update and stuff ...
end
I hope it helps you!
