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

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, 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

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

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, 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 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 =>

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

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,

Hiall, I was wondering how you guys are organizing your migrations files under db/migrate? I have like 60 database tables initially, and if I exercise migrations the way they should be exercised, I guess this will become even more files ... Now maybe you say 70 files ain''t that much anyway :) but the thing of course is that these files logically belong to different areas of my

Hi, I''m successfully using the realtime_form_validation plugin from http://railsrtv.rubyforge.org/ However, my forms contain collections, as described in the AWDWR book. Basically my form looks like this. 2004 2005 2006 Question 1 12 13 15 Question 2 9 11 13 I have the following code to generate ids for my input fields.

Hiall, I have the following problem: I need to use forms containing collections (i will call them FCC), and I want to construct them dynamically, as I need to deal with quite large forms (more than 600 input fields). The variables @model_name and @field_name contain the proper model and field names as strings, which is enough for "normal" form input fields. (i.e. the "if

Hiall, Given I use forms containing collections and use a statement like Product.update(params[:product].keys, params[:product].values) to update more than one product. What is the best way to determine if this update operation was successfull? I read the apidoc and it says that even if the save fails under validation, an array of products is returned. Now do I have to loop through all those

Hiall, Say I have class User has_one :community end class Community belongs_to :user end Will the following work and both save user and community if validation doesn''t fail? user = params[:user] user.community = params[:community] user.save Or do I have to do something like the following user = params[:user] if user.save user.community = params[:community] end to be on the

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

Hiall, This could be useful for those of you producing websites in the german language. Basically I copied the definition of the rails builtin distance_of_time_in_words and extracted another method german_words_for_distance_in_seconds. Just put these e.g. into module ApplicationHelper and you can use it in all views. def distance_of_time_in_german_words(from_time, to_time = 0, include_seconds

Hiall, I have two modules for my controllers containing the following files /app/controllers/admin/new_controller.rb /app/controllers/admin/list_controller.rb /app/controllers/admin/sidebar_controller /app/controllers/community/input_controller.rb /app/controllers/community/sidebar_controller.rb Each of those controllers is declared with the appropriate module like so class
