// CakePHP Block Helper

// Ever wanted a clean way to capture a block of HTML in your CakePHP view and use it later in your layout just like CakePHP uses $content_for_layout?

// I use Rails all the time and take content_for for granted. I recently started a CakePHP project and noticed the absence of a simple content_for method to capture a block of HTML.

// For this example we are creating a helper named $cake, a controller named 'main', and using a layout named 'app'.

This example shows how to setup an environment running Rails 3 beta under 1.9.1 with a 'rails3' gem set.
 
∴ rvm update --head
# ((Open a new shell))
 
# If you do not already have the ruby interpreter installed, install it:
∴ rvm install 1.9.1

# Ok, I'm creating a paired down version of Has_Many_Polymorphs in Rails 3 and making use of Arel. A great way to learn!
# Super simple setup:

class Content < ActiveRecord::Base
  polly :parents => :posts, :children => [:images, :paragraphs, :quotes]
end

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
end

# So you have a collection of records you want to display in rows of 3.

# Use Enumerable's each_slice method:

<%= content_tag :div, :class => :thumbs do %>
	<% @thumbs.each_slice(3) do |slice| %>
		<%= content_tag :div, :class => :thumbs_row do %>
			<% slice.each do |thumb| %>
				<%= render 'thumb' %>
			<% end %>

// One of the biggest problems with Internet Explorer 6 and 7 is the lack of display:inline-block support.
// I use inline-block all the time. It's very handy. I'm ready to bug test in IE and of course, the main CSS problems
// are with inline-block.

// Using Compass you can remove that pain. Compass has cross-browser support for inline-block.
// Enjoy.
