How can this be done? It will be installed on a Windows box with InstantRails1.0, (if that matters). I will be doing more processes like this, so this is a good opportunity to get it right. -- Best

Hi, I''m looking for a way to extend one of my models to allow some level of abstraction between what goes into it and how it is stored. For example, say I have a Product and I want to set it''s price. A person using the website will type the price in euros. Internally, I''d like to store the price as an integer value of cents. I can currently do this with some ugly code

Howdy RailsWarriors, Its probably dead easy but I don''t see it. Got this in my controller. def new_computer User.find(params[:id]).computers.create(:comp => ''New Comp:'') end Which with an .rjs template creates a div at the bottom of my list. This all works like a charm. But in the partial I load in my rjs I also have a button for ''delete'' in the

I''m using bundled_resource, login_engine, and a few other plugins. It appears Rails considers plugins in alphabetic order. Turns out that there is a particular order that will work and alphabetic ain''t it. The login engine must be loaded first. Bundled resource then includes ''application_helper'' and the application helper includes LoginEngine. If

I am using acts_as_taggable and everything seems to be working except that :condition => "tags_resources.portal_id=#{portal_id}" is not being applied. @resource_pages = Paginator.new self, Resource.find_tagged_with(:any => tag, :condition => "tags_resources.portal_id=#{portal_id}").length, 25, @params[''page'']; @resources

I have a method that checks for a given role. I want to write something in my controllers like before_filter :check_roles(''admin'') Which will ensure the current user has the admin role. Is it possible to pass parameters in this way? Ian

Hi All: I''m writing my 1st Rails app and I can''t seem to find the answer on the web or in the book. I''m making a table, and I want to be able to expand a filename.

in a single table inheritance model, rails will automatically set the scope for acts_as_list to the ''type'' field as well as any other scope conditions we provide. Is there a way to disable this? i want to use STI but I want acts_as_list to disregard the class type when getting/setting positions. thanks alan

After an ajax insertion in the dom, it seems the browser don''t refresh its knowledge of the page. The source of the page is identical after the insertion, whereas the display is correct. The ajax insertion is used to add an input field. The added fields are ignored by the submission of the form. Isn''t it possible to do that, or maybe there''s a problem in my code
