I''ve written a simple replacement (not extension) of Ruby''s array class with some added functionality. I defined it in array.rb and put the file in rails_root/lib but when i fire up the console the class isn''t being loaded. How can I have my class automatically loaded and used instead of the built in Ruby class?

hi all my app has two languages, I''m using gettext to manage them and so far so good. My question is about maintenance. If I fix a typo in a _() enclosed string, for example in an rhtml file, then the translated version of that string will no longer be valid will it? even if the translation itself had no errors. Is that the case and if so will i be forced to have the _() string

I''m not a professional developer in the sense that I''ve had any formal training or experience. I taught myself programming two years ago and have since moved to ruby and shortly after to rails - even now, i only develop as a hobby. This means that a lot of developer best practises are foreign or unknown to me, that''s why I love rails so much. You learn so much just

I''m about to implement this, and I''m thinking of storing the user''s id and their hashed password in the cookie after a successful authentication. can any see an obvious security issue with this? I know the method is vulnerable to cookie theft but am i missing anything? thanks alan

I''ve written my app already. It outputs valid xhtml and I need a stylesheet to drop over the top. How hard is it for people to understand that? It''s a small project, they''d have to do the main design/layout, and then a little custom styling for some specific elements which don''t appear on every page. That''s the point of CSS right? write once, use

Hi, how can I get the current URL withing a controller? There seems to be no appropriate method in ActionController::Base. I''m creating a site, which requires a login for some pages. I''m using before_filter for authentication. My idea was to store the currect URL in a session before redirecting to the login page and then redirect to this URL after successful authenfication.

I have lots of tests which rely on fixtures being a particular state in order to pass. For example, one test checks that a User object can have no more than 3 associated ''Page'' objects at a time. That''s a simple example but I have more complicated tests too. The problem is I sometimes add a fixture without realising it''ll affect the tests and everything

If I am validating an object before it is saved and do a find(:all) of that object class, will the object which is being validated be returned by the find method? something like: class Resource < ActiveRecord::Base def validate resources = Resource.find(:all) ..do stuff end Will the object I am validating be in the ''resources'' array? Thanks in advance, Don Mc --

before I started building my latest rails app, I made the decision to make good use of ajax. My reasonsing was that users would benefit from the quicker page updates - the application provides various different types of insurance quotes, and has several multi-page forms and reports that can be drilled down 5 or 6 levels deep in some cases - so it seemed like a good candidate for ajax Now

I have just spotted quite a serious problem with my rails app. My app uses the session to store information. Most people who use the app may have more than one instance of it open in their browser (multiple tabs). The session stores which country the user has selected. On each browser tab the user may select a different country. You can add items to a country. There are problems with

does anyone know of any documentation other than the article on the wiki about how to write an acts-as_* plugin? the code in the wiki article is good enough to get me started but I''d like to understand the code rather than just copy it. thanks alan

does anyone know if it''s possible to use rails validators from validate() I have some conditional validation to do, and using :if => Proc.new... on the class validators is getting messy, so I''m doing the condition checking in one place - validate() - except of course I can''t use rails validators there. I''ve started writing my own validators but I hate to

I know this has been discussed before on the list but I can''t seem to find the topics on gmane. I''d like to display different validation error messages depending on the context e.g. users choice of language and users choice of interface (I have a simple/advanced interface for my app). I''m wondering if someone has come up with a clean way of separating the error
