Hey All ! I have a form which contains two models. I would like both models to be validated, but have their validations aggregated on the page. If I do: <%= error_messages_for(:model1) %> <%= error_messages_for(:model2) %> It puts two big validation blocks on the page. I would like all the errors from both models, but only in one validation box. Is this possible ? All my attempts

Hi all I wanted to ask why Rails'' password_field helper uses the input password as default value when reloading a form because of errors? Isn''t this a potential security leak? On any other webs I''ve seen so far the password fields have to be filled in again after every reload of the site so the password doesn''t exist in plain text in the html code... What

Hi, What is the simplest way to validate a positive integer? validates_numericality_of :foo, :integer_only => true how do I add the positive part? Do I need another validation statement for pattern matching or do I have to write a validate() funciton for my model? Thanks, Peter

Hi, I am a RoR newbie and I''ve been experimenting with different databases (mySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) and different table types (MyISAM vs. InnoDB). Is there a preferred database/table type for RoR development. I like how MySQL''s InnoDB tables enforce referential integrity, but these tables require a lot more storage space then MyISAM tables. For everyone with a lot of RoR

I am playing around with the Agile Rails development book again and thought to see what effect, if any, placing a doctype declaration at the top of an rhtml file would have. When I insert any of the three standard forms of such declaration at the top of app/views/store.rhtml the product image disappears when the web page is redisplayed. The error logged in log/development.log is: >

All, I just installed ruby 1.8.4 on my SUSE 10.0 box. It was slightly convoluted so I thought I would post the solution here. Once this runs for a day or so I will try upgrading my rails to 1.1 === Ruby 1.8.4 on SUSE 10.0 Howto I downloaded the src.rpm from http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/src/ruby-1.8.4-9.src.rpm Then I installed it with

Hi, Anyone got some slick ideas on how to sweep an AR session store? I have a few ideas how I can do it, just want to see if there is an elegant solution that someone is already using. Bob Silva http://www.railtie.net/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

In the agile/rails tutorial book the following construct is added to products.rb. def self.salable_items find( :all, :conditions => "date_available <= now()", :order => "date_available desc") end Now, I wish to extend :conditions => to exclude products that have a nil value for the price. I have tried different syntax

Hello, What''s the best way to handle formating of a text_area? I have a text_area in my rails app where people can leave comments and I''d like to automatically convert the line breaks into <br /> tags, or just simply wrap a whole paragraph in <p></p> tags. I''m currently doing the following in my comments controller to insert line breaks when the user

There are a number of good authentication frameworks for rails - has anyone developed a generic authorization framework? I''m thinking of something that included the concept of roles, mapped roles to both actions and users and could be used to wrap actions before their invocation. Extra good would be some way to check data permissions (as in, "yes you can perform the ''Edit

Hello all, There''s a great patch in trac that fixes a lof of issues with the date helpers. I''m afraid it hasn''t had any attention yet. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3811 This fixes all the little date_helper problems, except one: When you choose an invalid date ActiveRecord throws an ActiveRecord::MultiparameterAssignmentErrors. This used to work in 1.0,

I''m trying to record a list of start and end times, and they''re simply an hour and a minute. Looking at the API, there''s a select_time helper, but that just creates the tag. There''s a datetime_select helper which takes an object and method name, so it does all the magic...but I only want to worry about the hour and the minute. I''ve tried writing my

I want append custom query parameters to my pagination links, like ?page=1&foo=bar. I can''t quite figure out how to do this with the pagination_links helper, although I believe the API says you should be able to: pagination_links(paginator, options={}, html_options={}) options are: :params: any additional routing parameters for page URLs Has anyone tried this? thanks, jeff --

I''m delighted to announce that Chad Fowler''s new book, Rails Recipes, is now available as a Beta Book. This is a great title for folks who know Rails, and for folks who want to get the most out of Rails. It contains detailed recipes for doing real-world things with Rails, all illustrated with working code. Some examples are drawn from Rails 1.1, the rest from Rails 1.0.

Hi Railers, Is the nested set model restricted to only one root? I''m working on a screencast building a threaded forum and nested set comes close but is lacking a few items for this project. First, all the documentation I can find restricts a nested_set to one root node, and a threaded forum would have many roots. Also, without a ton of fancy sql or an ungodly amount of db calls, it

Greetings, I''ve extended script.aculo.us to have the autocompleter cache it results in the browser and only callback to the server when you clear your filter. This provides good performance for lists with lots of elements on a busy site. Typically, your initial result set doesn''t actually change, items just get filtered out. Why have your database perform this simple

I''ve put together another plugin, this time it adds some convenience functions to the validates_numericality_of validation routine. Nothing in this plugin can''t be done with existing validation routines, it just moves them to a place I feel is more appropriate. http://www.railtie.net/articles/2006/01/27/defining-numericality PS: Sorry for hijacking threads with my
