I''ve got following code in GenresHelper.rb def album_list(genre) albums = genre.albums.sort list = albums.collect { |album| link = link_to album.title, :controller => ''albums'', :action => ''show'',

Using partials is a nice way to separate chunks of content into separate pages as opposed to building strings in helpers, but I''m wondering which is faster. It scares me when I see stuff like: Rendered users/_public (0.00051) Rendered users/_public (0.00009) Rendered users/_public (0.00008) Rendered users/_public (0.00008) Rendered users/_public (0.00008) ....50 more times Has anyone

Hello ~ Is there a way to determine within a model which controller/action instantiated the model? Thx, -- Ben Reubenstein http://www.benr75.com

i''m using lighty and fastcgi in my rails production environment. standard output appears to get swallowed up somewhere... it''s clearly not coming out of the development log. don''t know where to look for it. is this a byproduct of running in production mode? is there a way to turn this off? thanks, paul

Hello, I am trying to make the "switchover" to programming my apps in Rails and have a question about database structure. In the past i would structure a many to many like this: categories ---------------------------------------------------- | id | name | ---------------------------------------------------- 1 Some Category 2 Another

At present, I use an update like this to set the user''s last login time: authenticated_user.update_attribute(:last_login, Time.now) However, this calls the following, updating all fields: UPDATE users SET `last_login` = ''2006-05-02 13:27:41'', `hashed_password` = .... Is there any way I can tell ActionRecord to only update the one field? I don''t really want

I have found various posts about instance variables, session variables and parameters (each of which seems to use differnet syntax and have different view on the "best practice") I would like to find a single, reliable source that provides a good overview on all of it. Specifically, I would like to learn how to pass parameters between controllers and how to set session variables so

Hey, everyone. Wanted to post this announcement to the list. This is for a series of workshops that myself and my business partner are putting on. For those that live in the Northern New England area, looking to get some good hands-on instruction into Rails, this might be for you. Oh.. and don''t be too freaked out by my picture on the front page. I''ve got a fairly

I already have a simple role based access control system (User, Role, Privilege, Client) in place for my web layer, which checks User.authorized?(controller, action, client) from a before filter. What do you think about using this method for auth checks on the model layer as well, only with made up controller/action strings? (e.g. "model::Period", "close") A bit simplistic

Anyone with experience with RSpec care to share? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060528/29c9ba64/attachment.html

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

I''m trying to convince a co-founder of the startup I''m working on that rails is the new black, or possibly the next sliced bread. Does rails ship with doc, or the API? I can''t even figure out how to download it from api.rubyonrails.com, or if that''s possible. When I look in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rails-1.1.2\doc I see nothing of use. I have to admit

Newbie question but here goes: Isn''t rake supposed to automatically search the lib/tasks subdirectory for Rake files/tasks? I have a task called "do_this.rake" in file foo.rake in lib/tasks/rails - how do I invoke it from the command line in the root directory of my Rails application? Presuming I have a file called "Rakefile" in the root directory of my Rails

It is something that I have been wondering. When working with other application servers there is often/most of the time a 3 tiers/layers architecture: - Presentation layer/Web services - Application layer - Database layer They often resides on separate machines, 3 different sets. So the application code is logically AND physically separated from the presentation layer. Is this possible with

I have models with large TEXT, BLOB columns and I don''t wanna fetch them everytime. Is it possible to omit columns when fetching records from DB? Sorry, if it''s trivial, but I can''t find helpful information in docs.

Suppose I have three tables - authors, posts and topics. Every post have a topic and every topic has an author, so I have posts.topic_id and topic.author_id. When the author is guest (not registered), author_id is nil. I need to find all the posts (in one query) where every post have all the information of the topic and the auther, so if p is one of those posts I could get the name of the

Hi everyone, When I want something to start at boot, I put it into /etc/rc*. The service will start as root, though. How do I make it start as a particular user? I''m worried about the machine going down and me not being around to pick my app back up when it does. I think this would also help my SwitchTower issue of having 8 fastcgi processes running for the app. 4 started by

While I''m happy to continue talking about the vagaries of Rails deployments, I also need to actually build apps. :) I may have discovered a bit of a problem with :include as it applies to has_one associations. First, let me say that I''m a big fan of :include for reducing the number of SQL calls. There are times when I wish it could go more than 1 step away from the parent

hi, ive had some trouble trying to install RoR on tiger. during my google search i came across many different installs.. some using apache, lighttpd, or webricks for the web server,,,,,some are using sqlite, or mysql....now ive tried all and it came to a point where im sure i had multiple libraries etc...installed and everything was not working right compared to my ubuntu install of Ror. so
