...e previous query to pull that as well in a single pass? The only approach I can think of is to iterate through the results of the above query, doing another query for each shortest book I want to get all the details for, which seems a mite inefficient.

Pretty please? http://seanmctex.homeip.net:3000/book/search?searchTerm=dragon I''m utterly baffled by the strange behavior, and would love to get a handle on what''s going on here.

...dex of the result currently being displayed, like each_with_index makes available to its block? This would allow me to have the client pass back the index and pull the data from the session, thus assuring that the client hasn''t fooled with it. Thanks for any ideas!

Howdy Y''all, I was thrilled to recently discover migrations, as that framework addresses a common problem in an elegant way. I have, however, gotten tripped up a bit as I''ve worked with them. The first problem I encountered was that, though I was using a BigInt data type in a field in my dev database, my unit tests were failing because when I copied the schema from the dev

...seems an excellent approach to the problem, except that I''d been under the impression that one could only call render once. If you call it multiple times as the each_with_index loop iterates, are the results just combined automatically? How does that work? Thanks!

I''d been trying to iterate through an array of hashes using the ActionController''s render method. Unfortunately, it appears that when I use a hash as one of the array elements, it gets passed as a nil to the partial. Here''s some code: @books = [ ''hello'', ''hello2'' ] render :partial => "book",

...system to work with would be. It appears to me that the Login Engine implementation is most up-to-date, but I''d be interested to hear if anyone has strong feelings to the contrary, or if there''s another approach that I might have missed. Thanks in advance for any input. Sean McMains -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve been working on an AJAX search, very similar to the Flickr one in the screencast linked from the main rails page. I''ve been doing my testing in Safari, where everything has worked fine, only to now discover the results of the search action seem disinclined to load in Firefox. I can enter a URL to return the HTML fragment that''s supposed to be dropped into

Hi Folks, Just a quick note to announce my first Rails-powered project: Bibliofile, a web app for tracking one''s reading. From the propaganda: ---- Bibliofile is a tool for keeping track of books: those you''ve read, those you''d like to read, and those you''re reading. You can use it to: * Put a "What I''m Reading" list on your web page or

As part of my inaugural Ruby project, I''ve been trying to get data for books from Amazon''s web services. The first thing I tried was Ruby/Amazon <http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-amazon.shtml>. It works great, but is based on an earlier version of Amazon''s Web Services, which apparently doesn''t return a complete set of data for the items it

I just 'discovered' Wine recently and am interested in running a game called Diamond Mind Baseball. Its a pretty basic window interface and 99% of it works fine. My only problem's have been instead of displaying JPEGs that serve as a background to the game screen and splash screen all I see is solid black. I've tried changing the image formats to PNG and BMP which work correctly
