I have a few projects with large directories (say, user-uploaded files) that make using Capistrano a bit awkward. However, I suspect that I may have reached the "write a custom task" level. (I suppose I''m just thinking out loud, here...) It seems as though I''d want this directories symlinked in /shared... Maybe there''s a way to extend the

I have a question about how to implement a design in Rails. I will try to make this as easy to follow as possible. First, let''s say that I have an ''Orders'' table that has different statuses. The 3 statuses that I want to track are ''Submitted'', ''Approved'', and ''Purchased''. I also have 3 users of this application.

I am trying to create the perfect development environment for rails and i dont know exactly which way to go. Do i create a windows environment or a *nix environment. If i go *nix, what distro is best suited for rails. I would be using mysql, so that would come in to play. If i go *nix, i would use apache. Any ideas for the right environment would be greatly appreciated. I guess the major choice is

Hi all - I know this must be really easy to do, but I can''t for the life of me figure it out. I have about 100,000 rows I need to migrate over into rails using a migration. Right now, I select all of them out of the old database and do a series of: ... new.col = old.col ... new.save ... Problem is each one is it''s own transaction. And it''s slow. I''d

Hey Guys, need a hand again.... Lets say I have an Order... and an Order has Order Lines and Order_Lines have Items... I want to create a New Order, which would have New Order Lines with the same Items... Is there a fast / easy way to do this, w/o having to create a new order, loop through all the order lines, and create them associating them with the Items? Any help would be great, thanks --

I''m hoping there''s an easy way to do this.  I''m trying to read options from a database, and insert them into form tags.  So for example, In the Database Table: options size: 300 type: text_field maxsize: 300 and I want to create a text_field form tag, with all the appropriate options, is there an easy way to do this, other than having the code output the HTML

Hey all, Ok this is probably a newb question, but I haven''t been programming with MVC for very long, and I''ve been wondering what the general opinion is, or best practices, for making a new controller. Like what cases would you need a new controller for and what cases can you just put everything into one controller? Thanks in advance, Randal -- Posted via

Hello Again Rails Folk! I''m trying to creat a page similar to what the person is doing here... http://mudabone.com/aietc/?page_id=410 Instead of doing it the way he/she has, I decided to use RJS files, or at least I tried. Here''s my view <%= start_form_tag %> <%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %> <p> Union: <div id="union">

i have this model: class LineItem < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :quote end in the console: >>l = LineItem.create ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' , , , )'' at line 1: INSERT INTO line_items (`qty`, `quote_id`,

any suggestions on why I am gaining this error. ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ProjectsController#create Mysql::Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' , , , , )'' at line 1: INSERT INTO projects (`name`, `date_created`, `quote_id`, `client_id`, `description`, `user_id`)

I''m getting errors whenever the user chooses, for example, April 31st ( since there is no 31st in April, navicat freaks out ), there MUST be a method that ruby has that would allow me to validate a date before I submit to navicat. I haven''t been able to find anything online about it either, it''s probably something simple, I just can''t figure it out. Thanks

Hey, probably an easy question but, I''m trying to get a method to run "before_destory" for a model, and I want the method to throw an error, and not delete the object from the database, if a certain condition is held Obviously, I can just raise an error and rescue it... but for some reason I can''t get <% error_messages_for ''model" %> to catch

Hello People, I have a possibly very lame question. I am fairly new to RoR, and I want to make sure I do it "right". I have a model called Invoice, and one called InvoiceLines. Usual story: the table "invoice" has a 1:n relationship with "invoice_lines", which includes invoice_id. Now... the application will have a "new order" button, which will allow

Hi, I''m having great fun developing with Rails but I''ve come to a problem that I can''t quite figure out. I have an Order object that "has_many" order_lines. This works perfectly and I can see all the lines. The OrderLine object has an order_id field as well as product_id and amount. Now ideally I would want to do : order.orderline[0].product.name for

Hi.. Guys new plugin again Foreign Key Associations is a plugin that automatically creates associations based on foreign-keys. The associations are created at runtime-ie. as your ActiveRecord models are loaded-so they will always be up-to-date. For example, given a foreign-key from a customer_id column in an orders table to an id column in a customers table, the plugin creates:

Hi everyone, I have a order with order_lines use case. On changing the lines, I want to be sure no one else changed the order. So I use lock_version on the order. This works fine if something is changed on the order record. But now i have the situation that I delete, alter and add order lines without changing the order record itself. I have to check and increment the order#lock_version however

I have the following validation on and ''Order'' model: validates_presence_of :order_lines, :message => ''missing one or more products.'', :on => :save Ok, great. An order has to have products. Ok. Problem is, there are some old orders that don''t have lines (don''t ask) and in the admin tool we need to be able to work on these orders.

I''m hoping there''s an easy way to do this. I''m trying to read options from a database, and insert them into form tags.

I'm a longtime Samba user and admin (since 1.7) and I thought I had seen just about everything until Active Directory 2003 (native mode) completely took out our Samba user authentication (each server auth=domain to an AD 2000 domain). We have Samba running on a variety of servers (AIX, HP, Linux) and need to be able to provide our users with the ability to access their appropriate shares
