I start Mongrel using: mongrel_rails start I have mongrel, win32-services and mongrel-service gems installed even through Im not using mongrel as a service at the moment.

I''ve used script.aculo.us before (pre-Rails) to do JS effects like having a menu link that when clicked shows a sub menu, that kind of thing. Now I want to do something very similar but in Rails. Basically I have a list of summaries displayed in a view. I want to have a link that when pressed shows the detail. To do this I would normally have each summary in a DIV, the ID of each

Hi, Does anyone knows how to manage transactions in RoR. Thanx

I''m using the date_select and datetime_select helpers in my view, and they return Date classes from the params hash. But how do I work with Date classes, they don''t print human readable dates or times, Time classes work well I can use strftime("%H:%M") to print to the screen. Is it possible to convert a Date to a Time, Ive been tinkering in irb but have got

Hi, Just wondering how I get both the current date and time to display here (so far I can only get the date OR the time): @tblregisteredphone.txtregisterdatetime = Date.today Also, how can I change the format of the date and time from: Tue Apr 04 00:00:00 GMT Daylight Time 2006 to 2006-04-04 12:04:00 ??

I have ruby installed on linux, but not gems. I wish to run a Rails application so I generated a Rails app on another (win32) machine and placed the Rails framework in ./vendor/rails so that it used that instead of rails gem. I then transfered this over to the linux machine. When I run ruby script/server I get an error: => Booting WEBrick...

I have a view, part of it I put in to a partial - a copy paste - but now I get an error saying that there is an "undefined local variable or method" in the partial code... Do I need to pass my var to the partial, I would have though not? Cheers AFM -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to use :through to ''link'' to models, but the << assignment does not appear to work as I have it. Any help would be great :) User model: has_many :assignments has_many :jobs, :through => :assignments Jobs model: has_many :assignments has_many :users, :through => :assignments Assignments: belongs_to :job belongs_to :user This is

I have dynamically generated list of links that I wish to include in different views, I''m using render_component to do this but it is also including the layout. How do I turn layout off on a per action basis? Many thanks, K. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I doing an app to allow people to search bus time tables by bus stop and time. My models are: Providers -> Services -> Runs -> Stops <- Stations Key: "->" denotes a one to many Providers = Bus companies Services = the bus number Runs = Columns on a bus time table Stops = Cells on a bus time table, basically a time Stations = Rows on a bus time table StationA 10:00

I have a view with two auto complete input boxes. How do I give the input a name like I can for "text_input" helper? I''ve looked at the docs (http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/JavaScriptMacrosHelper.html#M000462) but cant make sense of it... <p><label for="search_start_station">From</label><br/> <%=

I am developing app which needs to query a timetable. The user specifies where they want to go from (start_station) and to (end_station) and the time (start_time) they wish to leave. My models are as follows: Provdier -> Service -> Run -> Stop <- Station -> = has many Provider = Bus Company Service = eg. Number 10 bus Run = Column on timetable Stop = Cell on timetable Station =

There is <%= distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, @a_time) %> before xzy.<BR /> <!-- ^ this gives 2279 days --> This does not work because when @a_time is stored, even though it is a Time field and the class is Time, it includes a date. The Date isn''t even that days date its the year 2000, hence the 2279 days ago. So how do I set the date part of @a_time (a Time

Hi, I have Mongrel up and running for one application (port 3000), but when I start another Mongrel for a second application (port 4000) I can access both sites locally (using curl) but not remotly via a browser. If I stop the first applications Mongrel and start the second the second one works. In other words I can only run one application at once... I have both on different ports, it makes

How can I pass something to set_table_name so that I can switch tables on the fly for accessing archive data? If I could access sessions inside a model I would do something like: if @session[:current_period] set_table_name "statistics_" + @session[:archive_year] else set_table_name "statistics_" + Date.now.year end But since I cannot access the session from within a

Before I starting writing a helper to display a calendar I wondered if anyone was aware of a calendar helper, basically something that is displayed inline (not a pop-up window) that can replace a date_select. The way I am thinking of doing it is to have a partial which is passed a Time class, the month is extracted from the date and a grid displayed for that month. Which should not be to

I''m having trouble workign out which ActionView DateHelpers to display a time input for an ActiveRecord field of type :time. I just want an hours input and a minuites input. I can get these with time_select helper using :field_name and :prefix but it gives both hours and miniutes the same name. <%= select_time(Time.now, :prefix => "search", :field_name =>
