Does anybody have the latest Globalize (r184) working with Rails 1.1.2? I can''t seem to get a very simple example to work: ----- ruby test/unit/news_item_test.rb Loaded suite test/unit/news_item_test Started F. Finished in 0.10109 seconds. 1) Failure: test_add_content_translations(NewsItemTest) [test/unit/news_item_test.rb:49]: <"US Title"> expected but was <"NL Titel">. 2 tests, 8 assertions, 1 failures, 0 error...

...to develop the admin side of my site (admin_controller) I have three sections that I want to have the administrator edit, and I want to call these from the admin controller that has a layout with navigation to these three sections. When using the scaffold generator, it obviously generates the news_items controller, and puts in the associated methods and makes the views. What I suppose I am wanting is to have all this functionality called from the admin controller all utilizing the admin view class AdminController < ApplicationController CRUD functions for news_items CRUD functions fo...

Hi all Look at the title, I guess you know what I mean... What helper makes the attribute names of tables human readable? news_item >> News Item name >> Name etc. Thanks for info :-) Joshua -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...og. Now I''d like to create a commenting system that in fact is quite simple, but I wanna use it for all these 3 types of content. My question: how can I do that? I maybe could add an association to all three types in the comment model: class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :news_item belongs_to :party belongs_to :blog_entry end And in all the three models I then added a "has_many :comments" statement. This would work, but every comment entry would belong only to one of the three models, so there were many NULL values that seem incorrect to me. And when another...

Hi all All my forms should look the same, so I think always putting the right div etc. tags around them is a violation of the DRY principle. Until now my forms look like that: <div class="text_field"> <label for="news_item_subject">Subject:</label> <%= text_field "news_item", "subject" %> </div> Now I want the default form helper methods to do that all for me: <%= text_field "news_item", "subject", :label => "Subject" %> ...shoul...

Hi all Is there some sort of a built-in possiblity to disable the rendering of the layout using a GET parameter? Something like :url_for :controller => :news, :action => :show, :id => news_item, :layout => false This should construct something like that: /news/show/123&layout=false And automatically the layout wouldn''t be rendered. Is this already built-in, or should I code it on my own? Thanks for info. Joshua -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...thing set up fine with the generator and scaffold for adding news in the admin area. However now I can''t get the public area to show the list of news. Here is what I did: /app/controllers/news_controller.rb class NewsController < ApplicationController def Index @news = News.news_items end end /app/models/news.rb class News < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :date_added, :date_live, :news_date, :added_by, :headline, :summary, :article def self.news_items find( :all, :conditions => "news_date <= now()", :order...

I am bit confused with this function. Should I be able to pass in a DOM element e.g. someAjaxRequest.responseXML and interrogate it ? Seems not but perhaps I am missing something... TIA Matt

I would like to customise my FCKeditor-instance so that when the "add image" button is pressed, it opens my own add_image popup. In this popup i would handle the image upload/image browser/etc. tasks with rails. How can I open the popup and pass the picture information from there back to FCKeditor''s textarea? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Sorry if this is a complete newbish question, but I''m trying to wrap my head around creating custom classes in my rails webapp. I''m normally a Java developer, but I figured I''d give RoR a try and see how I like it, and whether it would be useful for production use with a new client. Anyways, what are the best practices for custom classes? Where and/or how do I create
