After taking a break from Rails for a while, I recently decided to dive back in. However, I seem to be missing something simple here. It could be due to my limited understanding of how javascript functions within Rails.
I believe my haml view is properly set up, and I have included the necessary javascript file in the layout (along with the correct CSS). Despite this, I am unable to get the javascript function (a slideshow I found online) to work with the view. I'm attempting to trigger it using
%body{ :onload => setUpslideShow() }Below is my view:
%body{ :onload => setUpSlideShow() }
%script{type: 'text/javascript'}
if ( ! window.CMFmainmenu ) { CMFmainmenu = {}; }
var s = CMFmainmenu;
s.user_id = "#{@user.id.to_s}";
s.partial_mainmenu_path = "/users/" + s.user_id + "/xx/mainmenu";
s.add_new_senior = "#{UsersController::ADD_NEW_SENIOR}"
s.add_new_senior_path = "#{new_seniors_settings_path(@locale,@user,@senior)}"
#mainmenu

#slideshow.greenBorder
#slides
= image_tag '/assets/newlook/div_1_img.png', class: 'slide'

Everyone loves photo albums.
Get your user ready to brag, and
populate and arrange albums by
event, special people, year or any
category you can imagine.
=link_to "Learn how.", ''
= image_tag '/assets/newlook/div_2_img.png', class: 'slide'
%p
If typing is difficult for your
loved one, remove the frustration
of a typed response. They can
respond with a voice message, or
with auto replies that you set up.
=link_to "Learn how.", ''
= image_tag '/assets/newlook/div_3_img.png', class: 'slide'
%p
Arms too short? You can specify
the minimum font size used for
your user's email.
=link_to "Learn how.", ''

Here's my javascript:
if (! window.CMFuser) { CMFuser = {}; }
$(function() {
var s = CMFuser;
... (edited out to save space) ...
// slideshow
slidePrefix = "slide-";
slideControlPrefix = "slide-control-";
slideHighlightClass = "highlight";
slidesContainerID = "slides";
slidesControlsID = "slides-controls";
setUpSlideShow = function()
{
... lots of code that doesn't get called so I'm leaving it out to save space ...
And here's what I think the relevant line is in the layout:
= javascript_include_tag "lib/modernizr-2.0.6.min", "lib/respond.min","application", "users"%body{ :onload => setUpslideShow() }The full text of the error:
NoMethodError in Users#mainmenu
Showing /opt/cmf/app/views/users/mainmenu.html.haml where line #4 raised:
undefined method `setUpSlideShow' for #<#<Class:0x007fe054fa0a28>:0x007fe05594ae20>
