Does anyone have a good example or know of some documentation about how to implement "Edit in Place" using Rails 1.1? Like the functionality in Flickr... I''ve googled and googled and can''t find any good documentation. Maybe it''s because 1.1 is so new? Thanks in advance. -Andy

How do I check if an entry exists before saving? Someone one told me to use the method find_or_create (or something like that) but it didn''t work because I think the version of rails that we have is not the most recent. I need a way to check if an id exists in the db before saving. Any suggestions? Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to update a table row (i.e. replace a <tr></tr>) using AJAX/RJS but of course this cannot be done in IE (works fine in Firefox). I have googled but have not found any solutions, only a lot of discussion. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Cheers, Nicholas

Hey all -- I''ve been using enumerable char(1)''s with ''y'' and ''n'' values for my Boolean columns in Rails, but it strikes me there should be a better way. How do you setup columns that represent true/false-ness in your schemas on Rails? Wondering what kind of standard approaches there are other than me writing something like class MyEntity

Greetings made men of rails! I am presently writing a new database adapter for rails to bring the OpenBase community on board. In working through the rather extensive AR tests (which I very much appreciate), I have come across a question I can''t seem to answer on my own. In the test_has_many_with_piggyback(AssociationsJoinModel) the result is expected as a quoted integer

Hi everyone, I''m trying to test a method in my model: def html_email return "<a href=''mailto:" + self.email + "''>" + self.email + "</a>" end The method works ok. But when I try to test it: assert_equal ("<a href=''mailto:" + people(:staff1_person).email + "''>" +

I have two models called entity and user. The entities table has a column called users_id that contains the user id of the user that created the entity. In entity I have... has_one :user ... as I want to be able to show the user who created the entity from the entity object. But this produces the following error... Mysql::Error: #42S22Unknown column ''users.entity_id'' in

I''ve updated the Scaffolding Extensions Plugin[1] recently to add a couple new features: 1) Scaffold all models and associations with one command 2) Show all associated objects on the edit page Example of usage: In an existing Rails application, create a controller (i.e. "script/generate controller crud"), and modify so it looks like: class CrudController <

Hello, I''ve heard these words to describe a RoR application returning an empty page. This happen from time to time even here, in the forum. That is the cause of this misbehaviour ? Is it related with something external to RoR itself ? What is the solution to avoid the WSOD ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This is my first rails app and I am creating a Computer Inventory system as practice. The problem I am having seems trivial, but I can not figure out what exactly is going wrong, so this is where help from those of you who are more experienced is needed. I am having problems retaining the values in some of my forms. Everything works fine when I am creating or editing a Computer in the inventory

Hi folks, I need your opinions on a basic design issue. I''ve seen the light of RoR and have replaced my Perl (DBI/CGI) based web server <-> RDBMS communication with RoR, but I still have a whole host of users (other servers/OS''s etc) out there wanting to talk to my RDBMS and they only talk Perl. Also they don''t want to talk Perl/DBI directly (they are not allowed

Capistrano is a utility for executing tasks in parallel across multiple remote hosts. It was formerly known as SwitchTower. Installation: gem install capistrano Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Version 1.1 introduces a few changes: * Renamed! Due to the trademark infringement debacle of last week, we had to change the name. Moving forward it will be known as

I can''t think of a good reason, other than it''s legacy code which hasn''t gotten around to being changed to RoR. http://rubyonrails.org/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://37signals.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://basecamphq.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://backpackit.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42

Hi, I''ve started reading some Java books. Gasp! What makes website development with Java so bad? I haven''t looked at Struts but I''m reading about Hibernate. Compared to ActiveRecord, Hibernate seems like some extra typing to explicitly define the model fields, getters and setters. I know that these are things that you can do in ActiveRecord when things get complicated

Greetings to all! I''ve decided to begin my journey into Ruby generally, and Rails specifically, by writing a new database adapter for OpenBase. It''s nearly complete, but I''ve run into a small issue: In OpenBase, you cannot override a default value with a NULL during an INSERT. OpenBase detects the null value and chooses the default instead. This means that
