Hey, I have a main page that lists a table of Devices, along with a Search box. I''d like to have the Search field pull up any related Devices, and then re-populate the table. I can do this without AJAX, just calling my List action over again, passing the params to search on, but with AJAX I get the error, "Cannot convert nil to string" on this line: @device_pages, @devices =

I''ve got a form that should post to user/login. The code to start the tag is: <%= start_form_tag { :controller => "user", :action => "login" } %> That gives me this exception: compile error script/../config/../app/views/user/login.rhtml:1: parse error, unexpected tASSOC, expecting ''}'' _erbout = ''''; _erbout.concat((

I have this in a model: has_one :next, :class_name=>''WorkPart'', :foreign_key=>''next_id'' And it causes this error: compile error /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.1/lib/active_record/deprecated_associations.rb:83: void value expression

In both url_for and link_to, the :only_path param can be used to determine whether the link url used is complete with hostname and path, or just has the path (a kind of relative url). However, in url_for it defaults to false (urls with hostnames), and in link_to it defaults to true ( urls without hostnames, just paths). Is there any reason for this discrepency? To me, it violates the principle

Hi all, I''m using a selection-list / dropdown-list to choose an element in a number of grouped elements. Is there a way of passing an element_id to the form AND using the HTTP-''get''-method? I found that the <% start_tag %> has a :method-switch as an option, but it passes the arguments on like "/controller/action/?action=1". I would need something like

I have a login form, in which I use a "form_remote_tag". I''m redirecting users to this form when they fail authentication as well... and using the "jumpto" method of capturing they original URL they requested via request.parameters, and redirecting to this URL after they authenticate. Problem is, if I try to do a "redirect_to", this won''t work, as

I have a "javascript_include_tag" including a Javascript function. I have a function being invoked via a helper in the same view, which prints out a script tag that uses the javascript function above. Problem is, the function being invoked via the helper can''t find the javascript function included in the "javascript_include_tag". I hardcoded the javascript that

Morning/Afternoon/Evening All, This is my first post to the ruby message board so if my request is better suited to another location just let me know, The problem I keep coming up against is with a listing of objects and updating that list via AJAX (for arguments we are talking about a list of users). As it stands I can currently submit a form, and update the list (using :update

This error seems pretty bizarre. I''m using ActionMailer and am using a template in app/views/welcome_mailer/join.rhtml which has this line: <%= link_to :controller => ''group'', :action => ''join'', :group => @group.id, :ic => @code.code %> The error is: undefined method `url_for'' for #<WelcomeMailer: 0x2aaaad4fb470>

Hi all. I''m running a nightly job that is creating a CSV file and sending to member via SMTP. I got the following error after about 20 emails or so: Net::SMTPServerBusy Too many connections from IP... Is there a way (using ActionMailer) to open a connection and send multiple emails. Or could I make sure the connection is closed before opening another? The only other option is to send

Hi all, I''m having a bit of a problem with unit testing. I''ve simplified my models to try and get my head round it but I''m still struggling. I''m using STI and trying to write tests for the extended models (code below). I''ve written test cases for the extended models which themselves extend the test case for the parent model, so BarTest extends

Hi there, I''m trying to create a mock controller to test the use of UrlHelper in ActionMailer. I''m trying this: require ''d:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.0/lib/action_controller'' # Re-raise errors caught by the controller. #class DiscussionsController; def rescue_action(e) raise e end; end class MockController < ActionController::Base def

Hi, I''d like to share the ferret indexes between deployments of a Rails app. At the moment the index is stored in #{RAILS_ROOT}/index meaning that it gets moved and must be rebuilt after every deploy. I guess the simplest solution would be to put it under log/ which is already shared by capistrano, any other ideas? Also, script/ferret_stop doesn''t work when run on a fresh

I am working on the Agile programming tutorial and trying out some ruby code. Can someone tell me why the following works: <h1>Display Cart</h1> <p> Your cart currently holds <%= @items.size %> <%= @items.size == 1 ?

I attached a rails helper implementation of the fb_table described here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Styles I included testing and comments. I hope you find it useful.

Hi. I swear I found this in the group archives, but now I cannot find this in the group or elsewhere online! In a view I would like to get the current controller name and action that was used to get here. For example, I have a template that I''m using from two different controllers (and four different actions in each controller), such as :controller => "my_view", :action
