I''ve used their hosting solution for three or four projects.
I''ve never

If you read the home page of csie.org, you''ll see they registered their

Ian, it''s considered poor form to post HTML emails to public mailing

Sounds great. I''d like to get the other options (requirements and
limits) added before I start tinkering with this. I''d really like to
keep the act as ''rails like'' as possible, so here''s
what I was
thinking:
acts_as_versioned :table_layout => :individual || :global #
:individual being the current behavior
It would be nice to use separate acts for them, but I can''t really
think of a good name. acts_as_globally_versioned? I''ll have to do
some research, perhaps these patterns have good names that can be
used.
Feel free to post patches to the ticket
(http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/1758) if you''d like to help. Test
cases are always welcome. Also, I''ve only tested on mysql and
postgresql so far.

Subject: [Rails] Using paths to denote objects

Message-ID:
<200507181623.35708.michael-q5aiKMLteq4b1SvskN2V4Q@public.gmane.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
In the past, in environments other than Rails, I''ve a couple of times
gainfully used path expressions to refer to objects in the UI-layer.
Now, in Rails, I''m already using them for creating lists where columns
are described by meta data. I take it that there are even more an
better uses. I haven''t thought this through carefully, so here are just
one example.
Currently, to get a text input field one writes something like this
<%= text_field ''address'', ''street'' %>
This requires the existence of a binding for ''address'' in the
template.
Now assume the address is reachable from another object,
''person'',
anyway. Then how about writing it like this instead:
<%= text_field ''person.address.street'' %>
which is meant to result in this HTML
<input type="text" id="person_address_street"
name="person[address][street]" value="..." />
For iteration over multiple values a wildcard, ''*'', could be
used in the
path. For the moment I don''t quite see how to make this really useful,
though.
I think a fairly minimal language for expressing paths is sufficient in
Rails as there''s always Ruby to fall back on. Full-grown navigational
language such as XPath-applied-to-objects or OGNL (Java) are more
appropriate for environments where the host language is not accessible.
Below is my first stab at an extended Object#send method that handles
paths. I''m interested in your thoughts.
Michael
class Object
alias_method :send_without_path, :send
def send(path, *args)
if path.kind_of?(Symbol)
return self.send_without_path(path, *args)
elsif path.kind_of?(Array)
path = path.dup
elsif path.kind_of?(String)
path = path.split(''.'')
else
raise TypeError, "Unrecognized path type for send:
<#{path}>"
end
method = path.shift
case
when method == ''*''
raise TypeError, "Wildcard path item is only applicable to
Enumerables; self: <#{self}>" unless self.kind_of?(Enumerable)
if !path.empty?
next_value = self.inject([]) { |result, elem|
result << elem.send(path, *args)
}
else
next_value = self
end
return next_value
when self.respond_to?(method)
next_value = self.send_without_path(method, *args)
when self.respond_to?(''[]'')
next_value = self.send_without_path(''[]'', method, *args)
else
raise TypeError, "Can''t advance path to
''#{method}''; no applicable
method for <#{self.inspect}>"
end
if not path.empty?
next_value.send(path, *args)
else
next_value
end
end
end

Are there any gems available (with success stories) that is easy to

The payment ruby module is an Authorize.Net gateway:
http://payment.rufy.com/
I don''t know if the paypal module has a more official page, but
there''s one available at http://dist.leetsoft.com/pkg/.

Hi,
I''ve just implemented the STI pattern in a Rails project. I have
created two tables, one being the main STI table (partners) and the
other (partner_types) containing metadata about the STI relationships.
The necessity for the STI pattern comes from needing to collect slightly
different Partner data depending on the Partner Type.
The first step on the data entry form is to select the Partner Type from
a list, which is populated from the partner_types table. In the
controller, I''m getting the @partner_type that''s been selected
and using
a field in the table to obtain the type of Partner to instantiate. I
use eval "" to instantiate the relevant Partner.
This works fine at present but I''m wondering whether this is a good
approach to take? One niggle is that I now have duplication between the
names of the model classes, the type stored in the STI Table (Partner)
type column and the type stored alongside a description in the
Partner_Types table.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Chris

what about:
acts_as_versioned :store => :individual || :marshal #
:individual being the current behavior
instead of marshal, I could think of "simple"

I have thought about that, too, but I don''t think this is a good idea.
Essentially, what you are doing, is simply exchanging the data store for
the versioned objects. I don''t think this deserves a seperate name.

I would love to, but client work comes first :(. I wish I could come
