Menu
I want to be able to give the users full control and edit the layout. I also want them to be able to include what javascript plugins they want. Therefore, I had to make an interface to allow them to do that.
For example, the default html looks like a more complicated version of this:
<head>
<title>{{site.name}}</title>
...
{{js_plugins.colorbox}} # this should return the necessary javascript and/or stylesheet tags
</head>
My Liquid JsPlugins drop is like this:
class JsPluginsDrop < Liquid::Drop
include ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper
...
def colorbox
javascript_include_tag "/path/to/js"
end
end
When I run my specs though, I get this error (note that you see @drop["colorbox-1.3.15"] when the code I supplied above acts differently. However, I wanted to simplify my code since that's not the problem, it's the usage of the TagHelper that is the problem):
Failures:
1) JsPluginsDrop colorbox-1.3.15 should return the correct script tags
Failure/Error: @drop["colorbox-1.3.15"].stylesheets.should include("/jquery-plugins/colorbox-1.3.15/example1/colorbox.css")
undefined local variable or method `config' for #<JsPluginsDrop:0xcbfab38>
# ./app/drops/js_plugins_drop.rb:22:in `stylesheets'
# ./spec/models/js_plugins_drop_spec.rb:11
I won't be surprised if the problem is caused by the fact that this is separate from my Rails environment, and the drop does not have access to the config of Rails. Since I still want to be able to use these convenience methods and :cache => true that they give, how can I use the stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag from within a drop, if it's possible at all?

It seems that this is possible now when done this way:
class MyDrop < Liquid::Drop
...
def my_js_tag
helpers.javascript_include_tag '/some/thing'
end
...
def helpers
@helpers ||= ActionController::Base.helpers
end
end
