trying to do my first rails app (surprise, it''s a blog!) anyhow. in list.rhtml, i have this: <% for post in @posts render(:partial => "post", :object=>post) end %> and in _post.rhtml, i have: <tr> <td><%= post.title%> <br /> <%= post.body%> <br /> problem is, no content shows up -- displays a

using the below: <%= select(''project'', ''project_type_id'', @project_types.collect {|x| [x.name,x.id]}, {:include_blank => true}) %> but i''d like that first option to have something like "select project type" with an empty value?

i''m working on a _post.rhtml partial, and it displays one blog post. i''m accessing this partial on the list.rhtml and the show.rhtml what i''d like is to only show the "link" link on the list.rhtml and not on the show page. <%= post.title%> <br /> <%= post.body%> <%= link_to

trying to build an archive page in the controller layout file, i render_component(:action => "archive"), and that works fine. i turned render(:layout => false) within the "archive" function. trouble is, and here''s my confusion. as a test, i simply write def archive render(:layout => false) @archives = ''test'' end

say i wanted to allow only certain html characters from my user submissions, and strip everything else. does rails have a built-in for this?

looking at ways to return an archive, by year/month in the past, (via php) i''d do something like pull all the entries, ordered by date and iterate through them, doing a check on the month and year and adding them to an array if there was a change that method doesn''t really feel very fluid or rails-like. any suggestions?

ok, i''ve done a render_component(:controller => "user", :action => "user_menu"); user_menu checks for session id, if does not exist, render_component(:controller => "user", :action => "login") [all of this is working fine, thanks]. when i try to login, the form action goes to login_user, which tries to login via the User model and

i have a Project model, which belongs_to :user when i add a project, the users_id is based on the session[:users_id]. to get the users_id into the projects table, i''m doing this: @project = Project.new(params[:project]) @project.users_id = session[:users_id] this is working, i''m just verifying this is the best way to do it.

okay. on /posts/show/13 i have show.rhtml, which does render_component(:controller=>''comments'', :action=>''display_comments'', :id=>post.id) on comments/display_comments i iterate through the comments and then, display_comments.rhtml render_component(:controller=>''comments'', :action=>''new'', :id=>@id)
