I copied (and modified) this code from AWDWR: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render :template=>''/error'', :layout=>''application'', :status=>''404 Not Found'' else render :template=&gt...

I have rails 2 installed on my machine and I have ran into an error when I created my controller login but when I go to http://localhost:3000/login/index I get this error: No route matches "/login/index" with {:method=>:get} I h...

Hello, A lot of discussion is going on about AWDwR 2nd ed, i have decided to write an entry about it (and R4R) after reading few chapters: http://www.rubyrailways.com/fisrt-impressions-of-awdr-2nd-ed-and-r4r/ Cheers, Peter

I''ve uploaded the B1.12 version of AWDwR. The major changes include: - Justin Gehtland''s new chapter on Web 2.0 - James Duncan Davisdon''s chapter on deployment (this is an interesting one---JDD has strong opinions on how a Rails application should be deployed, and the chapter mirrors this. You''ll fin...

Hi there, I am a newbie and interested in learning Ruby on Rails. I see there are 2 books out there: Ruby for Rails Ruby techniques for Rails developers David A. Black and Agile Web Development with Rails : A Pragmatic Guide (Pragmatic Programmers) Dave Thomas, David Heinemeier Hansson, Andreas Schwarz, and Thomas Fuchs Which one should I get? "Agile Web Development with Rails"

Hi all, Rails 1.1.4 Rake 0.7.1 PostgreSQL 8.1.4 Windows XP Pro I checked for errata on pragmaticprogrammer.com, but didn''t see any explicit mention of this issue. I''m going over the depot example in AWDwR, 2nd ed, and I can''t get the migration to work on p. 82. Specifically, the AddTestData example (with reduced description text to save my fingers some typing): class AddTestData < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up Product.create( :title => ''Pragmat...

Heya everyone! I am quite new to Rails and I am reading AWDwR. I am at Task E "Check Out!". I understand it quite well, but I have a problem with the last playground exercise: Add a Table which contains the payment types. All goes well, but I am not sure whether I should use has_many or has_one(as in the Playground wiki at http://wiki.pragprog.com/c...

Either - Ruby on Rails: Up and Running or Rails Cookbook I''ve heard so many negative things about Safari pdf''s and the whole program I''d like to get some feedback. I have AWDWR(2nd edition), RubyforRails(Manning), Programming Ruby(2nd edition), so I''m not even sure I actually need another book but maybe the approach or content is somewhat uniuqe. TIA Stuart

Folks: I''ve uplaoded the B1.05 version of AWDwR. It fixes a number of reported errata (and a few that weren''t reported :), and adds two significant changes: 1. It now uses the new Active Record decimal -> BigDecimal conversion. I''ve personally been waiting for this for a long time, and I''m really happy it...

Following the tutorial app in Agile Rails, I''m trying to figure out the best way to get the flash notice to go away after an "Invalid product" is selected (eg. when a new, valid product is selected). This is after Task D, Chapter 9, in the 2nd Ed Beta. I''ve come close to getting to work right, but I think I may still be missing something in the control flow of

When we announced the second edition of Agile Web Development with Rails back in May, we pretty much killed the sales of the first edition paper book. So now, with the second edition just a few months away, we need to clear out some space. So, if you''d like to pick up a first edition paper book, they''re going (while stocks last) for $12.50 (plus shipping) from

Fig 6.4 on page 73 shows only "Price is not a number" for validation when wibble is entered for price but I get the following message: * Price is not a number * Price should be at least 0.01 Is this an error in the book? TIA. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:

On page 118, file store_controller.rb, the "redirect_to_index" is added. At mid page 120, that line is removed. When the browser is first sent to the ":3000/store", the page displays properly. But when the Add to Cart button is clicked, the browser displays the text of a try-catch block (see below). There is no error message - the browser clearly sees text to be displayed. If I

I''m having a problem with one of the migration files from the depot application. ** Invoke db:migrate (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db:migrate == AddPrice: migrating ======================================================== -- add_column(:products, :price, :decimal, {:scale=>2, :default=>0, :precision=> 8}) rake aborted!

Question, and I''ll preface it by asking if this is the right list to be posting questions regarding anything past Rails 1.1.6 , (i.e. edgerails) ? In the latest revision of AWDWR there is a sample REST based app. During the creation of the controller and actions, there is a foot note that says: "7. By the time you''re reading this, there may well be support build into Rails to create these RESTful controllers automatically." So wondering first if there i...

I''m getting to the point now where I really need to start trapping the errors. So from my AWDWR book, I added the following directly from the book into application.rb... def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render(:file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html", :sta...

Just a quick silly question , are form_helpers actually helper.rb files ? Stuart

So, I''ve been listing to stuff folks have been saying about the Bookman font we use. Most people like the font, but some feel there aren''t enough words/line, so your eyes move too much. So, I spent the weekend playing with typography, and I''ve come up with a compromise. The thing is: it looks good to me, but I don''t want to mess up the read for others

Hi, I''m trying to follow the "AWDR" example of storing certain types of numbers (in my case, percentages not money) as integers in the database. I understand from the Depot application how to format the output to have 2 places (or n places for that matter) decimal. Now, I"m wondering about the input. It''s more natural for people to enter numbers as
