I’m writing an extension to add a new feature to the “taggable”
extension and I need to do something very simple: add a new column to
the taggable index page. This is pretty simple:
admin.tag.index.add :thead, “add_required_header”, :after =>
“modify_header”
admin.tag.index.add :tbody, “add_required_cell”, :after =>
“modify_cell”
However, in my partial, I need to reference the tag object from
index.html.haml:
- for tag in @tags
%tr.node.level-1
- render_region :tbody do |tbody|
.
.
.
/ Partial code should be inserted here
/ - tbody.required_cell do
/ - if tag.required
/ Required
However, the “tag” object is not available within the partial. Is
there any way I can get access to that when I’m adding code via
partials?

No. It’s a weakness of the otherwise very cunning shards mechanism that
there is no way for it to get at local variables.
Taggable could help, perhaps by including an empty partial
(_other_columns.html.haml?) with some locals or by setting a
@current_tag variable within the index-page loop. Neither approach is
very pleasing, but it will take a while to arrive at a better solution
that is also simple enough to live with.
I need to clear up that index page anyway (as you can see from the
‘node.level-1’). Would anyone like to suggest a best practice here?
