I haven't tried or tested it but I guess you can do something like:
def share_all
if user.authentications.where(:provider => 'twitter').any?
user.twitter_share(title, content, post_url(self, :host => "your_host"))
end
end
Prior to that, in your model add this:
include ActionController::UrlWriter
This will make the url helper available in your model as well. You can read this to get more information about it.
Please try this as well (found it on this page again):
Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.post_url(self, :host => "your_host")
[EDIT]
I have just read your gist, what you should do is this instead:
## posts.rb
after_commit :share_all
def share_all
# note that I am using self inside the method not outside it.
url = Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.post_url(self, :host => "localhost:3000")
if user.authentications.where(:provider => 'twitter').any?
user.twitter_share(url)
end
end
Or:
include ActionController::UrlWriter #very important if you use post_url(..) directly
after_commit :share_all
def share_all
# if you use the url helper directly you need to include ActionController::UrlWriter
url = post_url(self, :host => "localhost:3000")
if user.authentications.where(:provider => 'twitter').any?
user.twitter_share(url)
end
end
It is very important that you get that url inside the share_all method and not outside it, because self has not the same value whether it's inside or outside. When it's inside the method, self references the instance of Post on which the share_all method is called. When it's outside it's the class Post itself.
I have tested those two variants and they work just well :).
