similar to: Too many columns for list.rhtml to display on one page

Hello all, I''m working on a couple of Rails projects at the moment and have noticed something that seems to go against the DRY principal. Why, when scaffolding, are individual CRUD rhtml files created instead of using one as a partial and having the others use that single partial? This especially applies to the list rhtml. I am about to get to the other operations and see how feasible

My code executes fully: <% for column in ModelName.content_columns %> <th><%= column.human_name %></th> <% end %> but it does not pick up any columns in my model''s table that end in "_id". Is this by design? Is there a helper method that will reference the related tables? Or will I need to code the column titles and detail records by

I''m studying the Agile Development with Rails book. In the chapter that first sets up the depot application (page 68), there is this bit of code from a view: <% for product in @products %> <tr> <% for column in Product.content_columns %> <td><%=h product.send(column.name) %></td> <% end %> etc... I am trying to absorb both Ruby and

Hi guru''s out there, Im happilly coding my first rails app, and all goes well. I find myself manually coding in a particular field all the time (company_id), that relates the contact to a company.

Hi, I''m a newcomer to Ruby and to Rails, and am having a problem with character encoding. Now, I know ruby doesn''t handle unicode...but, characters like ? (eacute) and ? (ccedil) are part of the iso-8859-1 charset, so it shouldn''t be a problem, right? But, for some reason, the string functions still seem to hang on those characters. As an example, in a brand new rails

Hi all, In the code below I don''t understand: 1. Why I have to prepend overriden method content_columns with "self." to get it working? 2. Why column_for_attribute method is not working (no such method?) even if SomeTable is subclass of ActiveRecord::Base which have public column_for_attribute method? > class SomeTable < ActiveRecord::Base > > def

In a standard scaffold generator, the list.rhtml looks something like this ... <% for column in Book.content_columns %> <th><%= column.human_name %></th> <% end %> How can I modify this code so for each table column add my own name not the "human_name" generated code? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to implement a show/hide details function. I have the show part done, but I''m not sure how to get it to hide. My app looks like this so far: View: <%= link_to_remote "Show/Hide", :update => "details", :url => { :action => "show", :id => leif } %> <p id="details"></p> Action: def show @leif =

Hi all! Playing around with in_place_editor_field, I found that when you set a field to be empty, you can''t edit it at all anymore after that. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it is intended to be? If so, is there any way around that behaviour? Is it just styling? Best regards, Raphael -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve got my app running with a table for product set up like the one from the Agiles book and would like to create a page to search those products. Is there a tutorial somewhere I can reference? I''ve gone through the source code for typo and rails-weenie but can''t find all the pieces to make it work on my own app. Else, any help would be greatly appreciated.. --

I have two tables CREATE TABLE continents ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; CREATE TABLE countries ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(255) NOT NULL, continent_id int(11) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; I generate scaffolds for country and for

I''m new to Rails and am trying to use a field called "code" instead of "id" in my URLs. For example, assuming I''ve got a database of motorcycles makes where the codes are "Honda", "Yamaha", "Suzuki", and "Kawasaki", etc. To show the info about Honda I want to use this url: http://www.mysite.com/makes/honda/

Hi, I''ve just been pleasantly surprised, again, by how much Rails does for me, but I am *really* surprised. Surprised as in "how the heck did that happen?" I''d really like to understand this and would appreciate any help. Big picture... the user is presented with a form that allows them to select one or more check boxes to record their allergies. The form uses the

All, I have ordered AWDWR and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. In the meantime I still am playing with ROR using radrails. I have a few questions ...

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to maintain database reflection for the ''new'' and ''edit'' views whilst removing scaffolding? I''m trying to create a webapp that will be somewhat maintainable by colleagues (that aren''t necessarily web developers) through simple manipulation of db table fields. For example to add another field to the

Hi! I got a class named EinsatzFilter which I serialized to session. Before saving to session it works afterwards I keep getting the message: "undefined method `to_s'' for #<Person:0x38c6ab8>".

Hallo -- I''ve just installed the latest stable version of rails, and am following the rails recipies book''s first recipie -- using in_place_editor_field. My problem is that the code throws no error, but the resulting fields are not editable -- the values just come up as text, rather than clickable-then-editable fields.
