Hello all, I''m using the following _form.rhtml layout for a number of pages, including edit record and new record (which each has it''s own definition in the controller). I''d like to display a different author form field depending on which page they are using. I''d rather keep using _form.rhtml as a layout template, instead of customizing each separate page.

We''ve spoken about it before in RCW but Hampton''s solution to wrap your conditional bind variables in a hashes is committed by DHH. So now, no more of this: Topic.find(1, :conditions => [:author_name = ? and :title = ?, @author.name, ''AWWR'']) but simply Topic.find(1, :conditions => { :author_name => "David", :title => "AWWR" } will do just fine. That''s so much better on my eyes, thanks again Hampton. Also Jamis makes sure Named Routes...

For example, let''s say I have two ActiveRecord classes, Book, and Author, where Book has a ''description'' field and Author has a ''name'' field, and where Book has a belongs_to relationship with Author (Book belolngs to Author,

And author_name is inside the books table. now when I save the image the imageable_type says "Book" for both. And off-course it''s a correct behavior, but I am just trying to figure out is there any way where I can save author image and imageable_type should have "AuthorImage" and it...

Hello fellow Rails devs, I had a slight problem with validation messages. I had a Post AR model that has an :author_name attribute. Now if a validation goes wrong, I would like the message to say: "Name of author can''t be blank" as opposed to "author name can''t be blank". I have tried looking into the Rails Guides for I18n #5 but it seems error.full_messages does not call human...

I''m still relatively new to ROR, but I like what I see with the database-neutral approach of Schemas. In the spirit of keeping it simple and minimizing the number of files and location of information, does ActiveState currently allow me to go ahead and place other low level model information such as validation requirements and associations inside the schema rather than putting it in
