Hello to all, I am entirely new to Ruby and also to Ruby on Rails. As far as I understand, Rails builds its model according to the a specified table structuree in in the database. However, most of my applications, are for the most part (except some backend CRUD stuff) not database centric. They do a lot of calculation for the user. So, how can I create a model, when no database is needed,

Hello, Rather new to RoR, so I''m not sure about the terminology and such :-/ . My question is: how could I know the model which is associated to a controller? For example: - controller class is TestController, which is a subclass of ApplicationController - associated model class is Test How could I write some code in a method of ApplicationController to dermine the current

I always need to apply alternating item styles when outputting a collection, here''s what I''ve been using recently. In the app helper I define this method: def alternate(items,alt=false items.map{|i| i.class}.each { |k| k.class_eval {attr_accessor :alt}} items.each { |i| i.alt, alt = alt, !alt } end When I call the partial I wrap the collection with this method:

The homepage of my application has time sensitive data. The homepage is cached for fast loading. However I clean out the cache every day midnight. It means the first person who hits the after the cache clean up has to wait extra long. The cache is cleaned out using a rake job. Is there a way I could write a rake job to just go and hit the homepage and generate the cache page just after the

When I used to write Perl CGI scripts I displayed an animated gif image whilst waiting for a long database query to load, and some javascript to remove the image once the content was available. I''d like to do the same thing with Rails, but it''s not clear to me how to do this in Rails. Does anyone have any suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I am attempting to create several plots based on "site" (~300 total) and am having trouble with the code. I simply want to create a plot using the code, plot(year, peak), for the following dataset. I would like for each site to be plotted on a separate page and the plots saved in a directory. Would a "foreach" loop work? I tried a "by" statement, but

Hi there I''m planning to build "The Perfect Rails/Debian/Lighttpd Stack", published by Ezra Zygmuntowicz and Sean Schertell at http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html I''m wondering what sort of constant maintanance that setup would incur.

As I, like many people, are coming to ruby in the rails era, I''m curious about how Ruby Web Dev was done prior to rails.

So I want to SELECT from multiple tables, so as to be able to do "SELECT FROM foo, bar WHERE foo.id=bar.id AND bar.baz=23". How do I do it with AR#find? Also, I need this for associations. has_many et. al. have :finder_sql, which is nice, but feels like a Pyrrhic: it''s basically doing the association in pure SQL, defeating the purpose of AR. -- -Alder

Hi Let''s say we set session[:foo] = ''bar''. Now we want to remove the :foo key completely. How do you do that? Appearantly, session is a CGI::Session [1] instance, so it doesn''t have #delete like Hash. I tried: session[:foo] = nil But then debug(session) shows an empty :foo key. I''d like to remove that key, as my session is already pretty crowded. Is

Hi there I''m considering Rails for a new web-application planned to be built from scratch. The application has an extensive web front, and in fact most of the application is interfaced through that front and engaged through clients'' HTTP requests (i.e. the conventional way web-applications and "dynamic web-sites" work). However, some essential parts are supposed to

Hi there I need to store additional attributes on join table. Searching the Wiki [1] revealed two possible methods: 1) push_with_attributes, as described by Justin Palmer [2]. Unfortunately, "this method is now deprecated" [3]. Even if it wasn''t, there seem to be inherent problems with that approach, for example with updating those additional attributes, though Joshua Muheim

Is there any reason why db:setup and db:reset don''t show any more on "rake -T db"? I guess any rake task that is defined only as a group of other tasks (without any ruby blocks attached) presents this problem. Also let me write this as a remember note to myself for when I have some time: the Rails Guides on Migrations should be updated to include instructions about db:load
