Hi. I need to use functions INET_ATON, INET_NTOA for IP address retrieving. Is it possible to make this transparently (without custom SQL for saving, updating and retrieving)?

Hi, I have a page containing 3 views (2 are partials). One of the partials needs to have a button that will clear a table called "messages" in the database. I can put a button like this "<%= button_to "Clear Messages", :action => ''clear_messages'' %>" and have the controller do "Message.delete_all". But the problem is that the

I''m sorry to be asking trivial questions, but I''m new to RoR and am hooked :), so I''m very impatient to get things up and running. given two related tables, "pcs" and "venues" (venues have many PC''s and each PC belongs to one venue only) I can use a select() to present venue names in the "new PC" form along with other PC details to

Quick question - if i want to separate a long string of text, separated by single carriage returns, into an array of paragraphs, I can use the following code: paragraphs = article.content.split("\n") The "\n" means a carriage return, as far as I can tell. If I wanted to take text, that had been written using the more common double carriage returns, into an array of

I have a complex graph of ActiveRecord entities that I want to load with one big honkin'' join query to avoid ripple loading. It''s for a report. However :include doesn''t get me all the way there because I want to load parents of parents (or children of children). I don''t mind doing the SQL by hand but I''m not quite sure what to do to get the result

I have table "decks" with three fields: "id", "created_at" and "cards" which is a 264-character string field. I have modified the model with a constructor, as follows: class Deck < ActiveRecord::Base attr_reader :cards def initialize @cards = "12345" end end If I call Deck.new from my controller, I get no errors and an object with the

The documentation states as an example: select("post", "person_id", Person.find_all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id ] }, { :include_blank => true }) could become: <select name="post[person_id]"> <option></option> <option value="1" selected="selected">David</option> <option

Hello, I would like to know is there is a way to avoid poluting the views with tons of <% %> ? Like this <%= start_form_tag() %> <%= text_field_tag(''category[title]'', category.title, {:size => 20, :maxlength => 128}) %> <% if not category.parent_id.nil? %> <%= select("category", "parent_id", Category.find(:all,

Hi all, I have a simple question about start_form_tag. It default generates method=post. I was wondering how you could use start_form_tag to generate method=get. Probably a simple question but one I can''t answer with the API doc. Thanks in advance, Onno

I''m trying to determine how/if I can use MySql''s spatial extensions with ActiveRecord. The spatial extensions usually require inserts in the following format: INSERT INTO `locations` (name, point) VALUES ("location name",GeomFromText(''POINT(<lng> <lat>'')); And reads as SELECT name, AsText(point) AS point FROM locations; While I

Is it possible to create an action that would sent a view straight to a printer or a button of some sort that would enable the view to be printed. Currently the user has to click on file and then on print in the browser to print. My users would like to be able to click on a link or button and have the view printed. Is such a thing possible? And how would one do it? Thanks, Paul

I have a field in a view, like so: <%= select_tag(''quoted_condition'', options_for_select([''NEW'',''RETAIL'',''OEM'',''REFURB''], ''NEW'')) %> This sets the ''selected'' value to ''NEW'' - however, I would like to have a nil value here, so I can

I''m using this: <% words = article.content.split(/ /) %> <%= words[0..20] %> to (ostensibly) split a paragraph into component words, with spaces in between, then print to html only the first 20 items, words and spaces. I got this (split(/ /)) from the online pickaxe book at http://rubycentral.com/book/ref_c_string.html#String.split . The problem is, the resulting array

Hey guys, what would be the best way to incorporate this into the builtin link_to_remote() method? document.getElementById(''main'').innerHTML = ''<img src="/images/loading_small.gif">''; Id like for the item above to take place while the page is loading. I''m currently doing this with another javascript but would prefer to use rails.

Table A has many table B''s. So the foreign key in table B is a_id. I want to select a single record from table A that does not have any table B''s. The problem is that the foreign key is in table B. Is there a simple way to do this with the find method in active record? Or do I need to select all and loop through them all and check until I find one? Thanks for your

Hi, I wonder if there is some fonctions which allow an activeRecord to save more than one row at a time??? As I understand, when we create an object from AC::Base, it represents one row of the table. So if I want to save more than one row, I have to create the object one by one and then save them one by one. If I have 10, it is fine, but if I have more than 1000, so it will a lot of time.... So

In an attempt to provide a gracefully degradable link_to_remote, I repeat myself every time: <%= link_to_remote(''Signup'', {:url => {:controller => ''user'', :action => ''signup''}}, {:href => url_for(:controller => ''user'', :action => ''signup'')}) %> Looked around the RDoc &
