I have a question about the usage of Merb::Controller#url. When I have nested resources, requesting the new action works differently than I expected. I was wondering what the intended usage is. For example: Say I have r.resources :articles do |article| article.resources :article_attachments end irb(main):002:0> show_routes [:articles, "/articles"] [:article_attachments, "/articles/:article_id/article_attachments"] [:article_attachment, "/articles/:article_id/article_attachments/:id"] [:edit_ar...

I have to actions: def index @articles = Article.find(:all, :conditions => "un_published != ''1''", :order => "created_on desc") end and def group id = params[:id] @articles = ArticleGroup.find(:all, :include => [:group, :article], :condi...

Let''s say you''re using the restful_authentication plugin. You have a model called articles. On the index action of the articlescontroller you simply want to spec out that it''ll scope the results to the ownership of the current_user. It should NOT include any articles other than the articles that user owns. How would you properly spec this out? Thanks for the help! -----------...

Getting this error when hitting update. NoMethodError in Article#update You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occured while evaluating nil.update_attributes Source code. def create @article = Article.new(params[:article]) @article.user = @session[''user''] if @article.save

...table, where the unique id is not ''id'' I have a Model class like the following: class Article < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "ARTICLE_ID" end however, using a link_to like the following (modified scaffolding), the link has no id value: <% for article in @articles %> <tr> <% for column in Article.content_columns %> <td><%=h article.send(column.name) %></td> <% end %> <td><%= link_to ''Show'', :action => ''show_article'', :id => article %></td> &lt...

Hi, I have a small blog application, and I would like to shorten its routes.

DHH''s acts_as_taggable is now much more usable with this patch. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3866 This patch adds scoped finders, documentation, and tests: # Get tags for all articles in a blog @blog.articles.tags # Get tags for articles in a blog published in the last year @blog.articles.tags :conditions => [''published_at > ?'', 1.year.ago] # Get related tags from article tags in a blog @blog.articles.find_related_tags [''code'', '...

Rails model association collections allow you to do nifty things like: article.comments.find(:all, :conditions => {:created_at > 1.day.ago}) Has anyone found a good way to mock this up? I''m currently doing this: @comment1 = mock_model(Comment) comments = mock(Array) comments.stub!(:find).and_return([@comment1]) @article = mock_model(Article)

Hi! I've written an article on setting up cryptroot on CentOS: http://www.msquared.id.au/articles/cryptroot I'd like to create links to it from a few places in the wiki. For example: * http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos Create a 'security' heading and link to either my article or a page on the wiki that links to my article * http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops Lin...

In the Agile Rails book, on page 232 (PDF, 4th edition) there is an example of (within ActiveRecord) marking an article as read by a user at the present time. Short example code (from the book) here: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :articles def read_article(article) articles.push_with_attributes(article, :read_at => Time.now) end # ... end However, it seems this piece of code would only work the first time you read a specific article. It appears to always create a new join table post, and not to just update if t...

Everything''s working fine, except when I create a new article Rails doesn''t seem to save the contributors that belong to it into articles_contributors.

Hello, I was wondering whether there is a nice Rubyesque way of selecting from a pair of HABTM models where one of them is inherited from another object. Here is the situation: I have a ''posts'' table from which ''replies'' and ''articles'' are inherited. Articles have_and_belong_to_many categories, but neither posts nor replies do (it just does not seem to be very useful). I want to have a page which shows (paginatedly) the articles in a selected category. So given a category, I would like to return an array of all of the a...

I have to tables: "articles" and "groups". Between I have article_groups as a jointable. Now I want to select every article who is a member of group with id ''1'' and id ''2''. Whats best way to get that? Extract from schemas: CREATE TABLE articles ( id int auto_increment, ing...

...the life cycle of the Article. In other words if I remove the article I want to remove all the pages that went along with that article. How would I do that? Another question I have is I would like to search the elements of the article like author, title, etc, and search the contents of those Articles within one search field. Can I place all of this data inside a single index? Or do I have to use the multi_search method? Thanks Charlie -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
