POController is looking for HTML format instead of JS format (though we set :remote => true)

    <p>I have the following link_to:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= link_to 'user_' + user.id.to_s, {:controller =&gt; 'admin', :action =&gt; 'view_user', :id =&gt; user.id}, :remote =&gt; true %&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, when I click that link, I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>ActionView::MissingTemplate at /admin/view_user Missing template admin/view_user, application/view_user with {:locale=&gt;[:en], :formats=&gt;[:html], :handlers=&gt;[:erb, :builder, :coffee, :haml, :rabl]}. Searched in: /Users/me/Documents/production/my_app/app/views </code></pre> <p>It should be looking for view_user.js.erb. That file definitely exists.</p> <p>This issue seems to have come up after I changed how I deal with jquery &amp; jquery-ui. I am now using the jquery-ui-rails gem. I removed the lines requiring jquery-ui and jquery_ujs from my application.js file. I don't know of anyway to add jquery_ujs (maybe it is packaged with rails?)</p> <p>Any clue what might be going on? What's puzzling is, I figured explicitly saying :remote => true would result in the JS file being rendered.</p> <p>here's what view_user looks like:</p> <pre><code>def view_user respond_to do |format| format.js end @user = User.find(params[:id]) user_show_helper end </code></pre> <p>user_show_helper is a huge method that basically sets a bunch of instance variables necessary to show the snippet of a user profile (i.e. there is no render method called in user_show_helper).</p> <p>Here's what view_user.js.erb looks like:</p> <pre><code>$("#user_under_review").html("&lt;%= escape_javascript render(:partial =&gt; 'admin/view_user' ) %&gt;"); </code></pre> <p>And here's what the partial _view_user.html.erb looks like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= render 'users/user_brief' %&gt; &lt;div class="table_td_middle" id="&lt;%= 'user_number_' + @user.id.to_s %&gt;"&gt; &lt;%= link_to 'Approve user?', approve_user_as_admin_path(@user.id), :remote =&gt; true, :confirm =&gt; 'Are you sure you want to approve this user?' %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COThis is likely an issue with your controller. Can you please post the controller action you're trying to render from?

    2. COYou're incorrectly invoking the use of helpers. Helpers are designed for use in views solely. There's no way you'll get one to work by default in a controller.

    3. COwhat do you mean exactly? I could basically be doing the exact same stuff that I'm doing in the helper method within the controller itself ... but the helper is from a different controller (user controller). basically, in order to render a user, I user the user_show_helper in a bunch of places. all it does is DB queries and set instance vars to results of these queries.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
