Before I start down this road, has anyone done a breadcrumbs implementation they''d be happy to share? Thanks Chris T

Struggling a little with getting the syntax right for a STI model. Prob just being a bit dense. Couple of questions I''m hoping you guys can answer: Assume here I''ve got: class Person class Manager < Person class Slave < Person 1) How does person[:type] differ from person.type when type is the column used to specify the subclass. They seem to output the same

New to rails so please bear with me. Am having difficulties with the flickr plugin. trying to follow the video as a starter, and keep hitting the following problem when I require ''flickr'' in the environment.rb file testbed:/srv/www/htdocs/carstuff # ruby script/server => Booting WEBrick... /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xml-simple-1.0.7/lib/xmlsimple.rb:274: warning:

I''ve a horrible feeling I''m missing something here, but I''d like to have something like :through to model a has_many relationship rather than a HABTM relationship (and I don''t think it does). The is the model I have (simplified): Users have many Models (and Models belong to Users) Models have many Pieces (and Pieces belong to Models) In (badly drawn)

What is the IDE tools used in the video on the homepage of the www.rubyonrails.org?I had thought it was Komodo,however after I had installed that i found they were different.I do think the IDE used in the video is very cool for its autocomplete abilities especially in the Views development.Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This plugin gives ActiveRecord the ability to do stricter date checking. Example: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_date :date_of_birth end This will ensure that date_of_birth is a *valid* date. The date can be set initially as a string in any of the following formats: "2006-01-01" "1 Jan 06", or "1 Jan 2006" "1/1/06" # Day /

How do you clean up your app folder to place onto the server? I want to get rid of all the .svn stuff. Seth Buntin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060317/cc81d9f7/attachment.html

Got the autocomplete search from Rails Recipes nicey working with one of my tables/models, but struggling to work out how (or if) I can have the options it brings up be links, so clicking on them takes you straight to the details page for that item rather than it ending up as a field in a form box. Is that (or something similar) even possible? Disclaimer: Noob, obviously, on ruby, rails and

Wondering about using the acts_as_nested for a model but concerned about the performance overhead of having to rewrite the table each time and entry is added or removed(and locking it while it''s happening or risking data integrity probs). Wasn''t really familiar with the structure so did a little reading up on it, and one solution to this seems to spreading the table out, so

OK. Here''s another one on STI (thanks for the help of all of you with my previous STI question, and I promise to update the wiki with the info). I''m having a prob with validation with the sub-classes. It''s a bit long-winded to explain, but I''ll post all the logs and code if there''s no obvious answers. Basically, however, I have validation on the

I''m sure this is really obvious but I''m feeling my way here with rails (and Ruby) and have tried a couple of things without success. So, can anyone tell me the best way to reverse order the retuen list of ancestors. In the controller I have: @ancestors = @category.ancestors which returns an array starting at the parent and ending with the root. When I then loop through the

Having a strange problem with replacing a form with another form. If I do this Element.replace("some_form_id", "<form>dummy text</form>") where "some_form_if" is the id of a form element only the text between the form tags is inserted, not the form tags. Tend to think I must be doing something dumb, as can''t find any discussions on this anywhere.

With the help of the Rails Recipes have got a self-referential HABTM relationship working, but I''m really struggling with getting a new entry from a form accepted. i should say here that the form is also submitting info for the join table too. So in my model I have: class Type < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :subtypes, :class_name => ''Type'',

Here''s the scenario. I have a main tree-like table (actually it''s more of a hierarchy), where the entries (or at least some of them) can be categorised as one or more of a fixed number of types (prob about 6 poss types). So an entry could be a Type A and a Type D; a Type C, D, E; just a Type F; etc. Having a join table would seem like it might get rather expensive since

Disclaimer: Ruby newbie at work Thought I was going so well. Wanted to produce a select box from an array constant, with the indices returned as values , and the array values used as the descriptions. Checked out Ruby RDoc and saw there was an each_with_index method and came up with: <%= select (''type'', ''typecategory'', Typecategory.each_with_index

Don''t know if anyone else has experienced this but I''m having a problem with the access_denied method in Ezra''s ACL access control plugin. It''s working fine (in conjunction with acts_as_authenticated) until it comes across a user it denies access to, in which case it throws the following error: NoMethodError in Admin#index protected method
