similar to: select list error - following Agile guide

I am quite certain I have heard it said not to put business logic inside view code but I have a report that I want to display 3 different possibilities of text based upon the value of a column. Would I just take the same type of if/then logic that I would use in a controller and put it inside erb <%= %> stuff? Craig

I''m getting to the point now where I really need to start trapping the errors. So from my AWDWR book, I added the following directly from the book into application.rb... def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render(:file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html",

because I am a grasshopper... Now that I can sort my ''list''...is there a logical way of not repeating myself to having essentially the same list view with multiple sorts? i.e. def list_cl # ordered by clients last name @placement_pages, @placements = paginate( :placements, :include => [:client], :order_by =>

placement.rb has_one :client has_one :case_manager client.rb belongs_to :case_manager has_many :placements case_manager.rb has_many :clients has_many :placements I am trying to create a view file for placements. I can pull columns from clients table in this view by using... <%= @placement.client.wholename %> but if I use <% @placement.case_manager.wholename %>

I abandoned ruby way for find_by_sql and still can''t get this... @myplacement = Placement.find_by_sql( "select * from placement where :intake_date >= beg_intake_date and :intake_date <= end_intake_date") just a simple date range...it''s killing me - If I knew how to load placement controller into irb, I could probably try out finds interactive mode... Thanks

can''t seem to find the right syntax for this... /script/../config/../app/controllers/placements_controller.rb:155: syntax error :conditions => [["placements.client_id = ?", params[:client_id] ] and "placements.discharge_date IS NOT NULL" ], this part works... :conditions => ["placements.client_id = ?", params[:client_id] ] this is what I

I want to use select form elements to choose between boolean options. How can I have it default to true and still display the persisted value (either true or false) when editing an existing object? I guess booleans default to false by default so its not obvious how to recognize when it''s a real ''false'' that the user set or default false because the value was null.

probably something really simple but I don''t understand. Shifting to Apache to w/ fastcgi (definitely feels faster than webrick) Anyway, I set the default route in routes.rb to be map.connect '''', :controller => "placements", :action => ''list'' which worked once I figured out apache... Anyway, now that I have done that, all attempts

I have the text_field_with_auto_complete woking on my user DB using last_name. so looking for ''ivanoff'' works great, but I can''t find ''john''. Plus I like to have ''last_name, first_name'' show up in the dropdown. what I can''t figure out is how to concat first_name and last_name to make a name and use that to look it. working

I am struggling to understand the methodology here... I have a find.rhtml <%= start_form_tag :action => ''list2'', :first_name = client %> <%# render :partial => ''form'' %> <p><label for="client_first_name">First name</label><br/> <%= text_field ''client'', ''first_name''

I am playing around with this and reference this wiki from RonR site... http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/CalendarHelper The error I am getting is: NameError in Placements#list undefined local variable or method `date_format'' for #<PlacementsController:0xb78f9ef4> RAILS_ROOT: script/../config/..

I am sitting with the Agile book on my desk and scratching my head at the discussion on aggregation - perhaps that isn''t what I need. I have a db called clients. fields include - first_name middle_initial last_name I want to combine them all into one name element in a list view. I can add/edit the fields separately but in the list view, I only want the one combo field. Is there a

I have been editing a branch on my Fedora system, completed the changes and was satisfied that it works and using svn, merged it to my main trunk. I have been testing the main trunk and it seems fine. I committed my changes to the svn repository. On my live web application, I did an ''svn update'' which brought all the files in but when I launch, I get an error on my

I''m trying to figure out how to change the order of a list view and it''s obvious to me that I don''t understand what I get from a simple scaffold to know enough to alter it. If someone would be so kind to tell me what this means ... def list @placment_pages, @placements = paginate :placements, :per_page => 10 end @placement_pages, # I am guessing that this

Is there a way to add per-field analyzer? I can''t seem to find a way to do that. Thanks -- Kent --- http://www.datanoise.com

I''m having fun composing queries with ez_where, but am stuck on how to formulate the following using the ez syntax: (begin_date >= ? OR end_date >= ?) AND (description LIKE ? OR name LIKE ?) There are two clauses, each containing OR operators (the ez ''any'' syntax) but both clauses must evaulate to true for a match. Can anyone suggest the proper way to construct

Lucene''s standard analyzer splits words separater with underscores. Ferret doesn''t do this. For example, if I create an index with only document ''test_case'' and search for ''case'' it doesn''t find anything. Lucene on the other hand finds it. The same story goes for words separated by colons. Which analyzer should I use to emulate

I simply can''t figure this out. I have been reading and re-reading Agile book and wiki.rubyonrails.org - all sorts of validation methods and still, it doesn''t work. Controller code def create @client = Client.new(params[:client]) if @client.save! flash[:notice] = ''Client was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action =>

Greetings, I tried upgrading Rails to 1.1.2 and now nothing is really working. In connection to the Rails upgrade I upgraded my Ruby version to 1.9.0. I also upgraded all my gem installs. Since my old rails apps stopped working I tried generating a fresh one , alas with the same result. Below I included the full trace when trying to reach the app. Line 3 in application.rb is : class

Hello Everyone, I''m pleasant to announce the release of ruby-debug 0.1.3. If you think that ruby-breakpoint is too limited for your needs and debug.rb brings your application to its knees, you might find this small extension useful. INSTALL It''s a usual procedure: $ gem install ruby-debug DOCS This library has almost identical interface with the standard debug.rblibrary.
