Hiall, Unfortunately I just can''t find out how to setup a default selected value when using collection_select. My call is like so: <%= collection_select(:consultant, :lastname, @consultants, :id, :lastname, { :selected => @current_consultant.id } ) %> which is not working, I debugged so far that I know that @current_consultant.id contains the correct value. Any tips? cheers

Hiall, I just tried out InstantRails version 1.3a. After a virgin install and filling the fresh mysql db with my app schema, I tried runningthe app with webrick, only to see the infamous "Lost connection to mysql server" for every action. What is it that I''m doing wrong? I also have mysql 5 installed on my machine, but the service is stopped while experimenting with

...need is basically a link displaying a name along with some image to indicate status (open,working,finished). I found no combination of link_to and image_tag that accepts a name, this seems to be solely used for making whole images into links ... What is it that I don''t get :)? TIA Martin Gamsjaeger

Hiall, If I have say 10 tables that i would like to wrap up in 1 view to manipulate data inside these tables, do I then need 10 model.rb files for all 10 tables plus 1 for the view, or do I just need 1 model.rb file for the view ? cheers Martin

Hiall, I want to give the action of a form an additional parameters but can''t figure out how to do it. My code looks like this <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create'', next_step => true %> <%= render :partial => ''user_form'' %> <%= render :partial => ''community_form'' %> <%= submit_tag

Hiall, Is it possible to organize my model files below app/models into subfolders? E.g. I would like to put admin related models into their own subfolder. This kind of structuring works for controllers and views (scaffolding creates the right subfolder-model mappings), but app/models always stays flat. I''d really like to be able to group my code into logical, well packages :-) Yes, I

Hiall, I''m wondering what''s common practice when dealing with money values stored in databases. I like the idea of storing all the values as integers, i.e. all the values in eurocents not euros. Then I need to multiply all values the users enter by 100 before storing them in the database. Now the question is, what''s the most efficient and dryest way to do this?

Hiall, When I try to run script/console from a windows command line like f:\rails_app\ruby script\console I get the following error: F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- initializer (LoadError) from F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require''

I want to write a function that after an ActiveRecord saves successfully, can show me what the before and after values of a particular column are. Is this possible without creating a separate object before modifying the current one? -John

Hello I''ve now read a lot about application-level authentication in Rails, but I need to do database-level authentication. The reason is that my database needs to have the current_user (database current_user, not current_user defined in an ActiveRecord Model) set to execute triggers for automatically updating audit tables. So it is not enough to have a session check against a User

...like to do in the end is properly scope these things with modules. However, migrations don''t seem to get recognized in subfolders of db/migrate. Does anyone know of a solution? Or do I really need to have 60+ oftentimes logically unrelated files under one folder? Thx in advance! Martin Gamsjaeger -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hiall, I would be very interested in your opinions on the ModelSecurity plugin by Bruce Perens. http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/ModelSecurity/Tutorial.html Some time ago, I read on a few pages that it is the way to go, on this list however, I didn''t read much about it. Apart from it''s security level, quoted from comments in source code: # FIX: At the moment we only support

...nSuccess/onFailure and DOMready dependent code into proper if branches in onComplete ? Or do you just put all the code into proper onComplete if branches, leaving out onSuccess/onFailure callbacks entirely?

Granted, I''m still very much a newbie, but after reading an article on AJAX that basically states at one point that just because you can use AJAX doesn''t always mean you should, I have to ask: Why bother contacting the server (even if it is an insignificant amount of bandwidth) to validate the sanity of form data (unless you''re actually validating against something in

Hi Everyone, I am trying to connect to multiple databases and followed along the Recipe in Chad Fowlers ''Rails Recipes'' book (which basically is about establishing the connection in a subclass of ActiveRecord::Base, and inheriting all classes in need of this connection from this class) Chad Fowler says: "You won''t be able to instantiate an External, of course,

Is there any way to tell Rails to send the .html file it renders somewhere other than the web server? I need to save a page to the server''s file system instead of sending it to the user''s browser.

Hiall, I want to make an image_tag from within a controller in order to be able to present a link (with a status image) in a view. Here is my controller method (in file webca_controller.rb, hence WebcaController) def untouched_status_image_tag image_tag("open", { :alt => "Offen", :title => "Offen", :size => "12x12", :class =>

Hi everybody, I''m using scruffy to create some graphs, and would like to integrate them into a regular view (i.e. show them in an <img> tag). However, I get errors when using img_tag, or the image doesn''t load if I try saving the graph to disk and then loading them in html. Generating the graph and linking to it works, however then I only have the graph open in a new

Hi everyone, I was wondering what the common practice for handling multiple db users with fine grained privileges on multiple databases is. Against the often read guideline for rails users to keep with a single db as "more dbs don''t really make sense anyway", my opinion is that it DOES make sense to use more than one db schema for a number of reasons that I won''t
