I have 3 tables keywords (keywords attached to a file) files (info about the file) paths (path for the file) [This is a legacy database, so I can''t change this] keyword belongs_to file and file belongs_to path. Users need to be able to search the keywords, but they only have access to certain volumes, so the results need to be limited by the path. I also need to show paging,

Sorry if this is a simple question, I''m a CSS noob. I have a rails app that is displaying posts, I am having it generate each post with its own div like "post_19", "post_20", etc. I could make it so it puts another div around that div (i need the individual post div''s for deletion with AJAX) but would rather not. Is there some way to use CSS to do

Hi I am trying to use active record to copy some data. One of the entry I am copying is type interval (Postgres); however, it lose some precision after I copied that column. Here is what I did: @newData.elapsedtime = @oldData.elapsedtime @newData.save Result: both displayed as 00:00:02.453 in the table, however, if I use the following command to convert its value into float ( SELECT

I want to show a users entries based on there login id. I have tried this: View: <div id="myfish"> <%= render :partial => ''myfish'', :locals => {:user => session [:user].id } %> </div> Partial: <% for entry in @entries %> <table border ="0" CELLSPACING="0"> <tr class="<%= alternate

I''ve been trying to use Rails on a database where the biggest datawarehouse-style table doesn''t have a primary key. It really doesn''t make sense and just adds extra unnecessary space. I do have, however, a column that I normally use to search on (IP) that returns many rows. The table also references several other tables through rails-friendly foreign keys. Simple AR

I have a model with a datetime field called start_date. I''d like to do a find on the model so that it returns only records with the start_date equal to the current day. Something like this: @foos = Foo.find(:all, :conditions => //?? start_date equal to today''s date ??// ] ) Thanks in advance for any help. -------------- next part

Hopefully the subject line didn''t scare you. That said... I have a simple polymorphic relationship (is that possible?): class Part has_many :attachments, :as => :attachable end class Attachment belongs_to :attachable, :polymorphic => true end Calling Part.find(:first).attachments yields this SQL error: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Unknown column

I need to show a different background color depending on the type of comment posted. The type of comment is determined from a drop-down selection. I figured the simplest way would be to do something like I have below, but I can''t seem to get it to work: <tr <%= puts ''"style = "background: red;"'' if comment.comment_type == ''Hiring

Hello, I have tried to install the salted hash login generator by following the quick start guide at: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/SaltedLoginGeneratorQuickstart. Everything seems to work fine until I try to run the unit tests by doing ''rake test_units'', then I get the following error message: <error-message> [brasse@keso login-test]$ rake test_units (in

I am a Rails noob, working on bringing a legacy db system into the 21st century. I want to localize the UI for two languages (EN/JA). Since I am already using the salted user system, I have been playing around with T. Fuchs'' localization module. Nice and simple, already up and working. But here''s the problem: Japanese text is wrapping weirdly in table cells. I could set

Hi all, I''m curious as to how you do functional testing on the controllers if, within the ApplicationController, I have a before_filter :authorize, :except => :login, where the private authorize method checks for session[:user]. I can''t do "post :login", because that method is in a different controller. I tried setting session[:user] directly in the setup

..., and searching my mailing list archives, but I haven''t found a solution. (I''m surprised I haven''t found anything and think I must have missed something obvious, because I don''t think this is *that* obscure.) Thanks for any advice and suggestions.

Is there any general way, other than putting in "rescue" catch sections, to capture exceptions thrown when an unexpected exception is thrown?

Hi I am trying to get RoR to work with Postgresql 8,2.5 (latest stable version) Steps taken 1. Download Postgresql 1.82 and installed successfully 2. Edited my Database.yml development: adapter: postgresql database: test_development username: postgres password: xxx host: localhost test: adapter: postgresql database: test_test username: postgres password: xxx host: localhost

When I run "rake" using a postgres 8.1 database, I get a bunch of these notices. NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "categories_id_seq" for serial column "categories.id" NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "categories_pkey" for table "categories" How can I avoid those? I take it I need to modify the

Hi, I love ActiveRecord and its simplicity. Person.find(1) It''s so simple but imagine if the table people has 30 columns and there are some columns with type ''bytea'' (or large object / binary data) holding MB-s data, then you only need three columns only with type ''string'', ''string'', ''int''. It''s a waste of

In Postgres, I use different database schemas for each application, by declaring, e.g.: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base ActiveRecord::Base.table_name_prefix = "keywords." end I assumed that the sequence names were also prefixed with the database schema names, e.g. keywords.things_id_seq But Rails 1.2.3 assumes the sequence is *NOT* in the same schema as the

What data type is best for storing currency? I''m trying to come up with a reliable cross-database solution for rails that is not too complicated. Since I''m going to have currency fields all over the place, I''m not so sure that using two integer fields for each amount would qualify as uncomplicated. I''d like to be able to use database functions like SUM to
