Hi, I''d like to do a "find_by_sql" without a model (e.g. <model name>.find_by_sql("...")) as the results I get back are a once off special, and I''m happy to handle them as an array. How do I do this? "ActiveRecord::Base.find_by_sql(...)" does not seem to work? Background - At the moment I''m doing within a model <model_name>,

Hi all, Apologies in advance if I got this one wrong, I''m still just a newbie ;-) Going through the Apple ADC RoR tutorial it suddenly occurred to me that the ''number_to_currency()'' helper method was not DRY streamlined. Scenario:: The "number_to_currency()" methods options hash works great when I need to dynamically display different currencies when I

Hi, Some months ago, a person from Packt Publishing posted a message in this list looking for potential Authors/Reviewers for new Ruby on Rails books. Now I''m proud to announce my book [1] "Aptana RadRails: An IDE for Rails Development". If you are using [2] Aptana RadRails, or if you are looking for an IDE and you still haven''t decided which one to use, you might

Any ideas why I would get an error in a RJS helper on view helpers such as number_to_currency. Example: # my_template.rjs page.help_me # my_helper for my_controller def help_me number_to_currency(10) end I have also tired page.number_to_currency but that doesn''t work either. Cheers, Nicholas

Hi, I''m trying to use number_to_currency in one of my models, but i''m getting the following error: undefined method `number_to_currency'' for #<Product:0x396d680> Obviously, my Product model can''t access number_to_currency -- is there something I need to do to make it available? Thanks so much for your assistance. -- Posted via

I was wondering if this is possible. I have a model (Item) that contains products. These products have prices that I''d like to format using number_to_currency. Rather than doing this several times inside the view, I thought it might be nice to do it once inside the model. The item table has an field called regular_price which holds a currency amount. I would like to do something

Hi Gurus, I have a class, specified in models cart.rb, which doesn''t inherit from anything--it''s just a container class Cart ... I just discovered I can''t call number_to_currency in that class. Any idea how to "include" it in my code? I tried ActionView.number_to_currency without luck. I could kill a few lines of non-DRY regexp code in cart.rb if I could

Back in 2.1.1 everything was sweet: Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.3) >> include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper => Object >> number_to_currency(12.3) >> "$12.30" Then I upgraded to 2.3.2 and: Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.3) >> include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper => Object >> number_to_currency(12.3) >> 12.3

I was trying to write a wrapper for number_to_currency to return currency in pounds. I used a helper class to do this. def number_to_pounds(amt) number_to_currency(amt, :unit => "£") end This works fine, but I am trying to understand why I can''t use a symbol to pass the values. I thought symbols were like pointers. (you now know I am a newbie). def

I am using the number to currency function because i live in the uk and the company want me to only show values of the pound of course.I have created all my application using ruby script/generate scaffold_resource.... I have come across with a problem... this code is in my applcation: def number_to_currency(number, options = {}) options = options.stringify_keys precision, unit, separator,

I work in the UK and therefore most of my currency figures will be in UK pounds. I realise that to format a number to a currency format I can use: number_to_currency(amt, :unit => "?") but it would be more convenient to set ? as the default currency symbol. What is the best way to do that? Should I edit line 39 of this file:

Hello everyone, first post to the list and a relative newbie to Rails development. Done quite a bit of JSP, PHP, HTML, XML etc and thought I would kick the tires on Rails to see if it can speed up development for internal applications. Anyway, I am running into a problem that is just driving me crazy and everything I read on the net doesn''t seem to help. I was hoping someone here might

so I am trying to sum month over month the amount that a user has posted. So for example: User 1: Jan $3000 Feb $4000 March $1500, etc. I can get this to work if I sum totals (aggregate of all users) but just not by user. Here is my code in the controller: def index @users = User.find :all, :order => ''name ASC'' @deal_groups = Deal.find(:all).group_by {|t|

Hello, I''m using Ruby 1.8.4 (darwinport), rails-1.0.0 (gem) , Powerbook / Mac OS X 10.4.5 , Webrick. How come Rails always raises NoMethodError for my helper (must_fill and rp or number_to_currency_rp) in application_helper.rb ?
