module QuietLeightbox::QuietLeightboxHelper

The helper module - methods for use within views.

Public Instance Methods

include_leightbox_if_used( line_prefix = '' ) click to toggle source

Include Leightbox only if used for the current view, according to the Controller. Invoke using “<%= include_quiet_leightbox_if_used -%>” from within the HEAD section of an XHTML view. If you want your HTML output to be nice and tidy in terms of indentation :-) then pass a string in the optional parameter - it will be inserted before each “<script>” tag in the returned HTML fragment.

Note that a trailing newline is output so you can call the helper with the “-%>” closing ERB tag (as shown in the previous paragraph) to avoid inserting a single blank line into your output in the event that the plugin is not used by the current view.

  data << "\n" << javascript_include_tag( 'leightbox/leightbox' )
  data << "\n" << stylesheet_link_tag( 'leightbox/leightbox' )

  return ( data.gsub( /^/, line_prefix ) + "\n" ).html_safe()
