Hi all, I have a little function called format_price(price) that simply formats the argument as a dollar sign, dollar amount, dot and penny amount. Then, in a .rhtml file, I could do this: <%= format_price(item.unit_price * item.quantity) %> But where do I put the format_price() function definition? The app couldn''t find it in app/controllers/application.rb. Where do I put it

Today we finally opened the doors to "Street Easy" (http:// www.streeteasy.com/), a Real Estate Research Site for New York City. It was built by two guys in three months. It doesn''t have tags, but it has google maps. It rides two bubbles at the same time. It''s like road kill: the price tags will shock you, but you won''t be able to stop browsing around.

Hi all, In re-doing the very first Hello World in the Agile Rails WEb Dev book, I continuously got blank pages, no matter what URL I put in, except when I put http://localhost:3000/ After eliminating everything else, I switched from Mozilla to Konqueror, and the symptom went away. I tried clearing cache on Mozilla, but that didn''t bring it back. I copied and pasted the URL from

Hi all, Apparently rails didn''t install correctly on my Mandrake 10.0 system. ================================= [slitt@mydesk work]$ rails demo /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:204:in `report_activate_error'': Could not find RubyGem rails (> 0) (Gem::LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:141:in `activate'' from

I am designing an application to run a fishing tournament I am hosting. Each fish entered will be given a point total based on the length of the fish and the species of fish. Each species has a point multiplier. For Example Trout have a multiplier of 10 so a 20 inch Trout would have a score of 200. My conundrum is in where and when do I calculate the points. The options I have come up

I''m new to Ruby and RoR but excited to learn what I can do with RoR; I have Pickaxe second edition and want to get "Agile Web Development with Rails" but I''m aware that the book was published some while before RoR version 1.0 was released. Has a lot changed since then, and would I therefore be advised to wait for a second edition of AWDwR? Many thanks in advance

Hi Folks! I''m new in the forum and i have a doubt. The button back function with the Ajax on Rails? tks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Just tried the first AJAX example in the rails book (p.391-392, the ''word guessing'' thing), and the AJAX partial used seems to render as a full page. I''m not sure whether it''s a) a partial bug b) some interaction between ajax and partials c) a change since the book came out or d) pilot error I''ve checked the errata pages and it''s flagged up

Is it still true that in order for a Linux hosted Samba server to have NT ACL support, the Linux box must have an ACL aware file system such as XFS or Andreas Gruenbacher's kernel patch ("POSIX ACL")? I read this in chapter 4 of "Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours". In the time since that book was written, has an easier method been developed, or has a

Hi all, I''ve been offered a short-term contract here in the North of England - around 3 months work, but with RoR I think it will take considerably less time - and am just curious what market rates were right now. I''ve been offered a little under ?1k/week which seems ''right'' for a PHP coder doing this kind of work, but should I be hitting for more, or is

I have just taken on a new site and they were running ruby on rails for their store. I have finally found the database but I cannot get the store to work. I can''t even get it to show up. I have never used this software before and have no idea where to start. All I know is the client was upset when I told them we wou;ld have to start a new store. They apparently have a few hundred of

Hi all, Like most other frameworks, Ruby groups code by Model/View/Controller instead of by task, and therefore I''m having a hard time debugging a problem from the Agile Rails book where looping through @items errors out because one or more items is nil. I managed to empty the cart by placing session[:cart] = nil in find_cart() in the store_controller_rb, and the problem continued

I''m interested in the idea of using AJAX and SVG to create a simple diagram editor. It seems like Rails might be able to support this sort of thing, so I thought I''d ask if anyone is doing anything in this direction. -r -- Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development: http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume.html Contact information: rdm@cfcl.com, +1 650-873-7841

Greetings, I''m fairly noob with rails and making my first DB driven site with it. I''m using the scaffold generator to develop the admin side of my site (admin_controller) I have three sections that I want to have the administrator edit, and I want to call these from the admin controller that has a layout with navigation to these three sections. When using the scaffold

This is way offtopic, but I''ve seen this several times recently and it''s annoying me. If you put "HOWTO" in your subject that means that you''re posting a guide on a particular topic. It doesn''t mean that you''re asking a question about "how to" do something. It''s not like it''s a crisis, but it screws up searches

Hi all, I've had a great deal of trouble accessing my Dovecot IMAP from most supposedly IMAP aware email clients, and have been advised that it might be because some of my email folders are not subscribed. Is there s way I can subscribe all my folders? I see no reason to have a folder not subscribed. Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt December 2019 featured book: Rapid Learning for the 21st

Hi all, I have a dovecot server on my Debian Wheezy desktop computer. My days with Debian are limited, and I'm investigating several 'BSD's: OpenBSD FreeBSD PCBSD NetBSD DragonflyBSD etc Is there any reason Dovecot wouldn't work on any of those? Does anyone know if those OS's have packages for Dovecot, or do I need to compile it myself? Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt
