This is a real newbie question with what i''m sure will be a simple answer... If i add a column a table (in a development application), how do i update my models to reflect this change? Cheers, Steve

Just a quick silly question , are form_helpers actually helper.rb files ? Stuart

Hi, I have four controllers: one for the store front and three for the store admin. In each controller I have copied and pasted exactly the same code. It is a method called redirect_to() to override Action Controller''s redirect_to(). Copy and paste is bad. I can think of two options but I don''t know how Rails will feel about them. Option 1: Can I create an intermediate

Hi, I have a few simple rails questions: Does the check_box_tag map to an int or to a boolean field within the database?

This is a bit of a nuby question methinks but i''ve had a play/search around and it''s just bugging me now :0) Say I have a conditional statement, testing a variable against a number of values. The first way i did this is like so: if myvar != "" and myvar != 0 and myvar != nil # .. code end This seems a bit messy - is there neater way of doing this? I thought of:

trying like mad to get this to work. cap setup works fine, sets up the dir structure on dreamhost (tho setup doesnt create the "current" symlink). on deploy, i get: * executing "rm -rf /home/USERNAME/dwightnight.org/releases/20060722060159/log /home/USERNAME/dwightnight.org/releases/20060722060159/public/system &&\n ln -nfs /home/USERNAME/dwightnight.org/shared/log

I''m looking for a good web-based to do list app. Essentially, I''d like to use Basecamp''s todo management system, but that''s not an option since I can''t install Basecamp on a server I own. The information being tracked in the list cannot be sent out of my intranet. I would imagine that there are a couple of open source rails apps that would meet my

Hi I get to about page 103 of the book and get an application error. Further investigation reveals the following error in the dev log: Mysql::Error: #42S22Unknown column ''id'' in ''where clause'': UPDATE sessions SET `data` =

Greetings! Is there some special syntax required to use the match operator (=~) in a find operation? Or is it not possible? I''ve got some data items from an external source that could be capitalized or not. So right now I''m stuck with doing: Item.find(:first, :conditions => ["name = ? or name =?", Potatoes, potatoes]) I''d prefer to do:

I see in the new Agile Rails 2nd edition that components are going out of style? Is this so? has anybody abandoned the idea of components for helpers? Specifically I''m considering a menu sytem for a website that depends heavily on the users permissions to decide which menu options a user would need to see. I thought that components, since they have the logic in the controller and

Hello everyone, A new project I''m starting on has a "database" consisting of many 10s of thousands of XML documents. They all conform to a common schema. The project consists pretty much exclusively of searching and presenting existing data - there''s no need (for the forseeable future) to be able to input or update XML documents in the database. Unlike (say) blog

Hi, I just finished writing this plug-in. I''ve been using rails for awhile but this is my first time extracting some code and writing it as a plug-in and I''d love to hear to some feedback.

I remember reading somewhere a tip on improving your search engine ranking, by forming URLs that included relevant text, e.g. www.domain.com/article/man_eats_hat. In the rails app that I''m writing, I''ve noticed I can set this up very easily by appending the post title (after downcase.split.join(''_'')) to the post link. So, blog.com/posts/4 can easily also be

Some blog sites and others (ticketmaster, for example) require you to read a graphical representation of a word or number to prevent a form from being submitted programmatically. I''d like to do something similar on a new site I''m building. Two quick questions: 1. Is there a standard term for these graphical representations? i.e. how would I do a google search for this

I''ve had a couple ideas for Ruby on Rails shirt graphics for a little while now: 1. "Fuck You" superimposed over, oh, probably a Ruby gem. Or Rails of some sort. 2. "Ruby on Rails" superimposed over rails of cocaine. Maybe also with a graphic of a crazed looking coder. Anybody got graphics? Or can make them? Heh! Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is Rails a good place to start for a newb to the database world ?? I need to make a database that is searchable with multiple filters that can be turned on and off at a moments notice kinda like java xhtml dynamic loading.. I have not worked with php or mysql much more than basic scripts running and website defaults. so I am new to the racket and want to pick something that is robust and

Hi, I would like some suggestions. I''m wondering if it''s better to upload a file directly into a database or to put the file into the server and keep the path in the database? Thanks, Eric -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi: Sorry if this is a painfully stupid question... I have some data I need through the life of someone''s session. In the application controller, I grab the data and store it like so: session[:foo] = @foo Now, whenever I need to access data about foo I don''t need to cause any DB io, I can just grab foo from the session (it''s very small fyi). Here''s what I
