Hi I''m new to this forum and new to Rails so excuse me if this is a daft question. I''m following the ONLamp.com tuturial and all has been well untill changing the template for the recipes.

I am a beginner with ruby and was working through some basic examples from Onlamp where I create a basic controller and model, use the scaffold command, and edit my database.yml file to point it to the correct database.

i, I have this in expense_controller.rb: class ExpenseController < ApplicationController scaffold :expense end It works fine, but let''s say I want to override scaffold''s list. For some reason, just making list.rhtml in views\expense is enough, and there''s no need to add def list end in expense_controller.rb. However, that''s not my real problem. Now

I followed this tutorial for Ruby on Rails... http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 Everything went fine. I created the DB in MySQL and tested the recipe/new and recipe/list functions, and all went smooth. Now I''m trying to use Ruby on Rails to track software licenses here at work and I keep running into this strange problem. I am setting up the DB,

I''m three pages into the OnLamp RoR Tutorial [1] and am wrestling with what appears to be a MySQL connection problem. I''ve created a simple controller called "recipe" with a corresponding "recipes" mysql table. The recipe controller is just a simple scaffold. When I browse to "recipe/new", though, I get these errors: == NoMethodError in

There are a number of really good beginner''s guides to Rails on the web now - covering installation through to running the first ''scaffold''. However, as a complete Ruby newbie, I found the next stage - moving on to producing ''real'' applications - quite hard going. To help others make the same journey, I''ve put together a ''next

I went through a tutorial at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 to get started with RoR. I really like the idea of the scaffold construct, but I can''t seem to get it to work the way it was described in the tutorial. I''ve got a mysql database that is properly configured, and a table called ''quotes'' with a column called

hello, I am gererateing a missing template error when I overwrite the list part of the scaffold. it seems to have the wrong path to list.rhtml. Looking at the error path (below) it is looking for in a folder called <public>. This seems wierd to me becausae that path does not exist in the frame work. the path should be /Users/dima/Documents/ruby/rails/cookbook/app/views/recipe/list.rhtml

Hello All, I''ve been playing with Rails - did the recipe/category sample from onLamp.com - fairly straight forward - even got it working against postgres. Anyway, I''ve been appling rails to a small test project and I can''t seem to get the syntax down or find a sample of how to use the date control on a custom new/edit view. The CRUD (is that right?) that automatically

Hi, I''ve created a Rails application and am having a problem listing by a particular category in an associated table. I followed the instructions found at the O''Reilly tutorial (http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/03/03/rails.html?page=3) but have not had success. Can anyone please outline a better set of instructions than in the "Showing Recipes in a

I''m a total rails newbie, but I''m learning fast. I have a question that I can''t seem to find an answer for: What is the best way of coding views that represent foreign key relationships? For example, while developing, I''ve created an "articles" table. I create some scaffolding code and modify it all to look nice. I then realise, I need an

Greetings, I''m a newby to both "R"s in RoR. I would like to use Builder::XmlMarkup to generate my pages. If there is a working downloadable example somewhere, that would probably be enough.

In Rolling with Ruby on Rails tutorial - http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html - I saw that to introduce a new element to my domain, I needed to define it in a table, generate a model element with a similar name and the class would autoamtically take the attributes from the table definition. Is it possible to do this in the other direction... i.e to take the class diagram
