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

I know my thinking is sloppy. I want to know how many clients currently in my facility are male...

Hello everyone, I''ve got an app where, when a user logs out, I want the browser history to be cleared so no-one can go back and see what the user was doing. I remember seeing info on how to do this before - can''t find it in Google (the search terms "clear", "browser" and "history" aren''t that great!), which means I can''t remember

Hi, Newbie here :) Can someone help explain the difference between "plugins" (put in the /vendor/plugins directory) and "components" (put into the /components directory)? Is it just that "plugins" have an init.rb file that is automatically loaded? Also, how can I dynamically find out which files/controllers are available in the /components directory? Thanks,

Am I just blind, or are there no links to the instructions, e.g. the Search syntax or how to get back to a thread I started on RoR? Or do those links, buttons, whatever only show / work in IE?

Evening folks, I''m new to RoR, and have found some very useful info on this site, thanks. I have a select box that I need to sort. <select name="people[peoplekind_id]"> <% @peoplekinds.each do |peoplekind| %> <option value="<%= peoplekind.id %>" <%= '' selected'' if peoplekind.id == @people.peoplekind_id %>> <%=

Hi, I have created a multiple selection listbox with rails, when I try to get the rows selected by user, rails send back only the first one, how can I get the other selected rows????

Hi, I am new to Ruby on Rails, so I apologise if this has been answered elsewhere. I have had a look through the list but I can''t seem to find what I am trying to do. I have implemented the standard blog and comments app from the screencast. However I am trying to extend the functionality. I want to be able to display a list of posts and order them by the total number of comments

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

I''m trying to create a paginated list that will take note of the "end_date" field in my table. This is what I have: @post_pages, @posts = paginate(:posts, :per_page => 10, :order_by => ''end_date'') in the controller.

Hi Guys, I am trying to paginate the results from a search. When I use actual constants in the search conditions, it works fine: def query @k2_result_pages, @k2_results = paginate (:k2_results, :conditions => [''e_date >= ? AND e_date <= ?'', ''2006-07-12'', ''2006-08-12''],

Ahoy, I checked the API and did some forum searches but didn''t find anything good on table sorting. Is there a "railish" way to do this? My current method really is lacking (i''m on like rails day 2) <th><%= link_to ''Name'', :action => ''list'', :order => ''name'' %></th>
