Hi, I''m stuck. I have an application that''s been working fine. I made some changes to the database schema and rebuilt my models, ensuring that I did not overwrite any of the existing controller or view files. Now, whenever I display *any* of my pages, the layouts/application.rhtml file is completely ignored. I have *no* idea what''s causing this, and neither do

Does anyone know if it''s possible to set constraints to the size & type of file that file_column will accept? I''d like to limit to image files of less than 2MB. If this isn''t possible with file_column, is there a graceful way of getting the controller to handle it? thanks dorian -- -- I do things for love or money

does anyone know of a way to make the date_helper deal with mysql dates with 00 values in them? I have lots of dates that are like the following: 2005-04-00 2005-00-00 and I need to set null values in a date_select for elements that are 00. These are valid dates in mysql. In the absence of an immediate solution to the above, I''ve been trying to find out how InstanceTag.new works so I can

Hi, I''m trying generate a URL from a named route like: namedroute_url(params...) but the generated route is always coming out as the first match from the routes table. The named route is defined inside a map.with_options block, but that shouldn''t matter should it? dorian -- -- I do things for love or money

Hi there, I just started writing tests today after some months of using rails (slap wrists). I seem to be getting the hang of things, but I''m hitting a wall when it comes to functional_testing pages protected by login_engine/user_engine. all my assertions come back with: Expected response to be a <:success>, but was <302> Is there a way I can login from within a test?

Hello, I''m having trouble getting login_engine to work properly.

Hi there, I''m trying to override the defaults for form_helper. I can see in action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb: class InstanceTag #:nodoc: include Helpers::TagHelper attr_reader :method_name, :object_name DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS = { "size" => 30 }.freeze unless const_defined?(:DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS) DEFAULT_RADIO_OPTIONS = { }.freeze

...fore I submit the form. But since I''ve already defined my form action with form_tag() as ''create'', I can''t also use form_remote_tag() at the same time, right? I''m sure I''m missing somethign obvious. but I could use some help. Thanks, Stan Mcfarland

Hello, I''m trying to use rmagick in a helper script (for auto-generating image sizes) and I''m not sure where I should be calling ''require''. currently I have: require ''RMagick'' at the top of my controller: class FilmsController < ApplicationController require ''RMagick'' but that''s giving me an error:

Hi, I''m having some problems with redcloth(3.0.4 gem) and textilize.

I would like to define some constants that I can use across models and views and I cannot figure out how to do that. Googling hasn''t turned up anything useful and I''m looking at the PickAxe book, and I get the impression that a constant must belong to a class. If I just want a constant like... CompanyPhoneNo = "(602) 999-9999" and be able to use it in any view

Hi, I have been using myisam tables in mysql with rails because my client will soon want fulltext searchable content, however when I migrated my development db from schema.rb all of the tables generated were innodb. I understand that I can override this, but also like the transactions and foreign keys of innodb. So 2 questions really: 1. are transactions in activerecord dependent on innodb or do

Hi, Is there any trick to initializing the params hash via submit_to_remote()? I have a form with two submit methods - the regular, non-AJAX method, and the AJAX method. The regular method works like a champ. The submit_to_remote invokes the correct controller, but the params hash is empty except for the values for :action and :controller. I''d show my code, but it''s on

Hi there, I''m now getting to the point in my rails app where I can use all of the nice basic features like AJAX and engines etc... but, I want to get my hands a bit dirtier, whilst learning to DRY up my code a bit. I''m using AJAX quite a bit to dynamically populate/edit/sort has_many relationships in forms, and consequently on a model with many has_many''s I end up

...lang call. NVPTX is meant to be replaced with SPIR at some point, to make it portable, which is why I didn't bother with text kernel generation. I won't go into implementation details, but if anyone is interested, or working on something similar, feel free to get in touch. Thanks, Dave McFarland
