Sorry if this has been asked before; it seems like a simple problem. I have a controller called ItemController which displays information about specific items to a user on various pages. The routing looks like "items/:item/:action". Is there any way to automatically look up the :item in the items table (it''s just an ID). I tried: before_filter { @current_item = Item.find(:first, @params...

...b = Group.find(:all, :conditions => "id = ''#{@tullt}''").map {|u| [u.name] } %> <%= @tullt % I think it would be better to put this code in a controller for this partial. I made the following item_controller.rb file for this: class ItemController < ApplicationController def index @tullt = h(item.body) @itemdb = Group.find(:all, :conditions => "id = ''#{@tullt}''").map {|u| [u.name] } end end But this doesn''t work (I guess for som obvious reason, I just ha...

Hi there, I''ve been trying to paginate over a list of members that all share a tag in common using the acts_as_taggable plugin. The regular way of paginating over a collection doesn''t seem to work with acts_as_taggable. Here''s what my method looks like that takes in a tag name, finds all the members that share the tag and then displays all the members. Nothing too fancy

I''m not sure if this is even possible, but here is my current method: class Item < ActiveRecord::Base def self.generate(name) Item.create(:name => name) || nil end end class ItemController < ActionController::Base layout "application" def index @items = Item.find(:all) end def create if @request.method ==:post name = @params[:name] || '''' if name != '''' if Item.generate(name) @message = &q...

...thought was to use AJAX for this. Assuming for a moment that this is the desired approach, I can see several ways to implement it. For example, the methods required to create a new attribute or delete an existing one would be called by AJAX. I could thus 1) implement the action methods on the ItemController object, or 2) implement the action methods on the AttributeController object. Similarly, the "view" logic for attributes associated with an item will be invoked for each attribute that belongs to an item. This logic could: 1) be written as a partial, and rendered inside of logic within...

hi all, how are other people passing and accessing ''get'' parameters from their apps? what is the best way to do it? ie: www.example.com/controller/action/id/extra/extra2/ ?? or www.example.com/controller/action/id/~extra/extra2/ or what ever.... are there built in methods for passing and accessing extra parameters? thanks for your suggestions -felix
