Hiall, I just tried out InstantRails version 1.3a. After a virgin install and filling the fresh mysql db with my app schema, I tried runningthe app with webrick, only to see the infamous "Lost connection to mysql server" for every action. What is it that I''m doing wrong? I also have mysql 5 installed on my machine, but the service is stopped while experimenting with

Hiall, If I have say 10 tables that i would like to wrap up in 1 view to manipulate data inside these tables, do I then need 10 model.rb files for all 10 tables plus 1 for the view, or do I just need 1 model.rb file for the view ? cheers Martin

Hiall, Unfortunately I just can''t find out how to setup a default selected value when using collection_select. My call is like so: <%= collection_select(:consultant, :lastname, @consultants, :id, :lastname, { :selected => @current_consultant.id } ) %> which is not working, I debugged so far that I know that @current_consultant.id contains the correct value. Any tips? cheers

Hiall, Is it possible to organize my model files below app/models into subfolders? E.g. I would like to put admin related models into their own subfolder. This kind of structuring works for controllers and views (scaffolding creates the right subfolder-model mappings), but app/models always stays flat. I''d really like to be able to group my code into logical, well packages :-) Yes, I

Hiall, Call me stupid if you like .,) but it seems i can''t figure out how to get a named link using a combination of link_to and image_tag. What I need is basically a link displaying a name along with some image to indicate status (open,working,finished). I found no combination of link_to and image_tag that accepts a name, this seems to be solely used for making whole images into links

Hiall, When I try to run script/console from a windows command line like f:\rails_app\ruby script\console I get the following error: F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- initializer (LoadError) from F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require''

I've having a bit of a problem generating output that doesn't result in the "Instruction does not dominate all uses!". In my code it relates to exception handling and how I generate the blocks. I understand exactly why I get the message, but I'm unsure of how I can structure things to avoid the problem. In a rough pseudo-code, my blocks look like this: entry: store 0,

Hiall, I''m wondering what''s common practice when dealing with money values stored in databases. I like the idea of storing all the values as integers, i.e. all the values in eurocents not euros. Then I need to multiply all values the users enter by 100 before storing them in the database. Now the question is, what''s the most efficient and dryest way to do this?

I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this, and I really don't want to risk breaking a production server to find out; so I am going to try asking this here, and maybe anyone else in the same situation searching the archives sometime in future will find the answer I get. Can you use variables in the target of a GoTo() statement? What I am specifically thinking of is this;

Hiall, I want to make an image_tag from within a controller in order to be able to present a link (with a status image) in a view. Here is my controller method (in file webca_controller.rb, hence WebcaController) def untouched_status_image_tag image_tag("open", { :alt => "Offen", :title => "Offen", :size => "12x12", :class =>

Hi, I have a bit of a problem with a form in rails. Well, the problem really is me not fully understanding the mechanism of the form_tag, so here''s what i try to do: The idea is to present a some edit fields for some @product attributes and then present a table showing the @product.pieces (pieces for every @product) and to include a "Edit Piece" and "Delete Piece"

Hiall, I would be very interested in your opinions on the ModelSecurity plugin by Bruce Perens. http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/ModelSecurity/Tutorial.html Some time ago, I read on a few pages that it is the way to go, on this list however, I didn''t read much about it. Apart from it''s security level, quoted from comments in source code: # FIX: At the moment we only support

I''m trying to update a list, and having a hard time applying visual effects to the latest element created. Here is what I''m doing. =========================================== 1) Creating an "item" via an action, then rendering the RJS template 2) RJS template looks like this: page.insert_html :top, ''items'', :partial =>

I have a User model class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :account accepts_nested_attributes_for :account, :allow_destroy => true validates_associated :account attr_accessible :account_attributes is working fine, validating and updating both records (User and Account), but I caanot display the value in the form when is updated, ex: below the firstname is not displayed but

I want to write a function that after an ActiveRecord saves successfully, can show me what the before and after values of a particular column are. Is this possible without creating a separate object before modifying the current one? -John

Folks, Am new to RoR and am building an example to get myself familiar. I am running into a simple issue while creating a user registration page. I have a User and Address models defined as below (partial/relevant code included below). User has_one address and Address belongs_to user. I have a foreign key defined in address table that refers to user(id) In a form I take in username, password,

With form_tag submit buttons I use the " :disable_with => ''button label while processing'' " option so that visitors with slow connections aren''t able to submit forms twice. How do I do the same thing with button_to? I''ve got several pages where there are multiple forms on the page being updated with Ajax so I can''t wrap the whole

I''m trying to use button_to and have it use an image in place of the submit button. I had figured it would work the same as link_to like so: button_to(image_tag("editicon", :size => "16x16", :border => 0), :action => ''edit'', :id => person.id) but this instead displays the image code as the button name. Surely there is a simple way to
