I am trying to inherit from a ActiveRecord class defined in a plugin. The problem is that ActiveRecord thinks I am doing an STI and is looking up a table that doesn''t exist. Currently, I have a method in the parent class that looks like this: def self.fix_table_name class_eval do set_table_name(Inflector.tableize(self.to_s)) end end The problem is that this method

I''m trying to produce a plugin to help me with my page caching woes. I can''t seem to get rails to see my method within the plugin. This is my first attempt at a plugin so I''m sure I''m missing something. I''ve created a directory /vendor/lib/plugins/broom_stick/. I then created an init.rb file with: require ''broom_stick'' I then

Hi! If I have a method that is useful in both models and in views, where would be the appropriate place to put it? The method in question just takes two dates as strings, tries to parse them and returns all dates in the range between them. It also takes care of the issues when the dates are badly formatted etc etc.. This method is being used in several models (so a simple class method in

Hi, in the past few months someone posted an entry on their blog about how to do validations in non-AR classes and I cant find it any more. Anyone have a link? Thanks, Trevor -- Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

Hi, Is it possible to stub out a helper for development? I''ve got a (view) helper that renders a partial and runs all kind of javascript. But for dev purposes I''d like it to return some hardcoded html. I''m not having any success stubbing the helper out. Something like... test/mocks/development/helper_stub.rb require ''application_helper'' class

I want to use helpers inside a controller method for an AJAX application. After the page is loaded and displayed, there will be an asynchronous javascript request to load additional resources such as html forms and other data. The controller which handles the request will collect the resources and send them back in json format. def get_resources data=Hash.new data[:form1]=form_helper1()

I would like to have a table with some constants to use them later on for a drop down menu. How can this be done? My table looks like Table with constants ------------------------ id | key | value | type ------------------------ 1 | M | Male | sex .... I know it can be done like this <% select ''object'', ''method'', Constants.find(:all, :select =>

Hey, sorry if this is something better suited to another list. I''ve encountered a strange problem with the RSpec.tmbundle in trunk - namely that it was raising an exception when pressing ctrl-shift-downarrow (switch between spec and source - "Alternate File"). I tracked down the issue to be handling of the file_type in switch_command.rb#content_for() - the code expected the

All, I have a controller action that will do a different "render (:action)" call depending on whether or not data is valid. When the data is invalid - I set a flash element to hold a message. However, when I post back to this controller action and have valid data, I still have the flash element set, which I don''t want. I believe this is because I did a render from the

So any other ideas as to why my custom class under app/models is being cached even though all the caching is set to false in the config/environments/* files? Currently I''m having to restart WEBrick after EVERY change to the file. The controllers and views are reloading just fine and not being cached. It''s just the custom class I created that''s being cached. Any ideas

I have a controller method that is attempting to do a render based on a potential error condition. So I have if (condition) render() else ..other code end ....other code in method Should I expect the render to take place immediately or does the render call not work because it isn''t the last statement in the method?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has seen (or completed) an effect to make something ''bounce'' like icons do in the OS X dock when you launch them? Something that looks like there''s a bit of gravitational behavior to it? Thanks, Trevor Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

I am aware that controllers can be placed in modules: ruby script/generate controller modulename/controllername But what does this buy me? Is it just a way of ensuring that my source code is nicely arranged, or can I use the fact that a set of controllers are all within a particular model to implement functionality common to all of those controllers? Why am I asking? The app

I wanted to group some functions which I use in some models in one place. Controllers have application.rb and views have helpers but I couldn''t find anything about models. Using the /lib directory seemed to be the only way. Alright... so I have something like this: /lib/code.rb class ActiveRecord::Base def method_a(n) ....... end def method_b(n) ........ end end

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`,

All, This is really starting to get me as i can''t figure out why I am getting this error. Here is what is going on. I have a table called items and a item controller.

Will shortly be deploying first iteration of app to some beta testers (i.e. friends), and want them to be able see it both from logged-in view and guest (i.e. not logged-in) view. The two are a fair bit different. It''s a closed beta, so (hopefully) no pages (other than a blank login page) will be visible. The question is, what''s the best way for them to be able to see (and
