I use a call to the sanitize method every time I render some user input, but it would be much nicer if I could clean it up once before putting it into the database and avoid having to call the (relatively expensive) sanitize every time I render a page. My first thought was to just add something like: def message=(x) self[:message]=sanitize(x) end However, the sanitize helper cannot be called

Just released a new version of the _Managed Fixtures_ plugin, previously known as _Export Fixtures_. The name change comes with some added functionality for managing the fixtures, primarily with two new import tasks for importing specific Models or all of them within the test/fixtures directory.

Hi, I''m trying to handle money within an online store I''m building and I''m very stuck. I understand that using a float in the db is bad because of "rounding errors", and that storing the price as an integer is the best way forward. I know this has been brought up before on the list and I have search the archives but can''t find a good way forward.

All, I know there are 3 or 4 search plugins out there. I''m trying to find one that will allow me to search associated fields. My database content is pretty small, so efficiently is not so critical.

Anyone out there really familiar with acts_as_versionable ? I''ve recently got it working, and I think it''s working great. But what I want to do is a little different than what it does by default. Currently, each time I save the activerecord, the plugin increments the version number in the main table, and writes a copy to the table that stores old versions. What
