second
command ("ruby script/plugin install engines"), I get the
NoMethodError on nil as
described in the second issue reported here:
http://www.rails-engines.org/wiki/pages/Engines+plugin%3A+Known+Issues

It''s more correct to say that the plugin installer script provided with Rails itself seems to require SVN - can you install any plugins using that script? I''m not sure why this might be the case, because there is certainly implementation in plugin.rb for falling-back to HTTP only. - james On 1/24/06, Ben Munat <bent@munat.com> wrote:> This page: > > http://www.rails-engines.org/download > > makes it sound like SVN is optional for using engines, but when I try to run the second > command ("ruby script/plugin install engines"), I get the NoMethodError on nil as > described in the second issue reported here: > > http://www.rails-engines.org/wiki/pages/Engines+plugin%3A+Known+Issues > > So, which is it?

It doesn''t look like my plugin script is going to work for any plugins... C:\workspace31\engineTest>ruby script\plugin list script/plugin: No such file or directory - svn ls http://dev.rubyonrails.com/svn/rails/plugins/ C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.0.0/lib/commands/plugin.rb:313:in `plugins'': private method ` split'' called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) etc... I took a quick look at plugin.rb and it looks like it''s supposed to check if I have the "svn" command, and fall back to http if not. But apparently that ain''t happening. Will try to debug more tonight. As a side question, yesterday I discovered that I had been using rails 0.10.0 all along (gem thought that 0.10.0 is newer than 1.0!?) and after I successfully got 1.0 installed, I started to notice the *nix shebang line everywhere... might that be a problem? My rails apps all appear to still work though... b James Adam wrote:> It''s more correct to say that the plugin installer script provided with Rails itself > seems to require SVN - can you install any plugins using that script?

I don''t know if it was "required" but I had to install subversion (svn) in order to install the login engine.

Since engines are installed using the *exact same* mechanism as plugins, this problem can''t be specific to them. Can anyone else comment, or shed some light as to why the plugin installer seems to _need_ SVN?

Yeah, sorry... I said I was going to debug this some more but then I got
sidetracked...
I left off looking at rails-1.0/lib/plugin.rb... the error is thrown on line 313
in
Repositories#plugins. Looking around in there a bit, it appears the intention is
to try
svn but fall back to http if the commands not found.
I also see that there''s an option to specify a url, but if I do this:
ruby script\plugin list --source=http://dev.rubyonrails.com/svn/rails/plugins/
I still get the same error:
script/plugin: No such file or directory - svn ls
http://dev.rubyonrails.com/svn/rails/plugins/
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.0.0/lib/commands/plugin.rb:313:in

Hello,
I am learning Ruby on Rails and have a very basic question.
def self.home_categories (portal_id)
find(:all,
:conditions => "portal_id=:portal_id"
)
end
How can I put the value of portal_id in the string "portal_id=...".
I tried concatenation but I get the error that it cannot convert.
I can figure it out eventually but thought someone may have the answer ready.
Thanks
Frank

Easy, ruby can embed expressions into strings:
def self.home_categories (portal_id)
find(:all,
:conditions => "portal_id=#{portal_id}"
)
end
The #{..} syntax acts like ruby code inside your string, so the value
of portal_id gets into your conditions.
Now, the fact you are putting this value directly into a SQL statement
might be troubling - it it''s from some sort of form submission or URL
you are opening yourself to SQL injection attacks there.

Hey,
You probably want something like this
def self.home_categories (portal_id)
find(:all, :conditions => [ "portal_id=?", portal_id ] )
end

Wow, you somehow replied to one thread with the subject line from another thread and were starting a completly new thread! Please, when you have a new question, compose a fresh, new email addressed to rails@lists.rubyonrails.org and with a subject line that relates to your question.... It makes the sheer volume of this list easier to manage.

I did send a new message to rails@lists.rubyonrails.org. Don''t know how it happened. I made sure to put a unique/new subject line "How to use a parameter with a string?" I do know how to submit a question just don''t know how it got mixed up. My apologies anyway to the list members.

Thanks Justin for your answer and the detailed explanation.
I appreciate it very much.

No, I am not using a direct value from the forms. However, I would appreciate if you can tell me how would one add slashes to the string, or replace the quotes from the input value. I know it can be done in PHP using addslashes and str_replace. What are the appropriate functions in Ruby on Rails? I am sure many of us starting out on ROR would benefit from your answer. Thanks for your assistance.

Frank-
You do not need to call any special functions to add slashes or
escape things for the database in rails as long as you use the place
holder syntax. So if you just get in the habit of always using the ?
placeholders like you were shown with the snippet below, you will not
have to worry about escaping anything before inserting or querying
the db:
def self.home_categories (portal_id)
find(:all, :conditions => [ "portal_id=?", portal_id ] )
end
This is the important syntax:
:conditions => [ "portal_id=?", portal_id ]
Cheers-
-Ezra
PS. what was meant when someone mentioned that you highjacked a
thread in the list was that if you hit reply to an even replace the
subject line. the in-reply-to headers that the mailing list uses to
put together threads will lump your post in with the previous thread
you replied to. So in the future when you want to start a new thread,
please make sure to create a fresh new email in your email client and
send it to the address: rails@lists.rubyonrails.org and you will
avoid the thread highjacking.
PPS. Welcome to the rails community. You will like it here.
