Hi, I''m having great fun developing with Rails but I''ve come to a problem that I can''t quite figure out. I have an Order object that "has_many" order_lines. This works perfectly and I can see all the lines. The OrderLine object has an order_id field as well as product_id and amount. Now ideally I would want to do : order.orderline[0].product.name for

Hi, After following advice from you good folks, I gave mongrel a try in a cluster design based on the example on the Mongrel website - and it worked right out of the box which is great - and it''s very fast :) I have got a bit stuck though. I have two MS Word files in /public/files/. I can pull back these files no problem but it isn''t sending a mimetype. I think I have two

Hi, I thought I''d give lighttpd and FastCGI a go but the latest version I''ve found for fastcgi is 2.4.0 which was released in January 2003. Is this the right version? Can anyone recommend the versions I should use for FastCGI et al and where to find them? I''m not sure I''ve really found what I''m looking for... -- Posted via

Hi, Having googled extensively about storing money in Rails, it seems to be accepted that the best way is to store the prices etc in the smallest part of the currency so that you can use an integer i.e ?20 would be stored as 2000 pence. This is fine and I''ve made a nice pretty wrapper that outputs the price in the standard form for invoicing and what not - but here I''ve

Hi, I have an application that''s about to go live and the production logs show what was sent to the application such as usernames and passwords. I don''t want this information recorded anywhere for security reasons - how can I stop rails recording this information? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Pete -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m looking to rewrite an existing app in Ruby but it makes extensive use of URL paths. For example a site would redirect to : /Portal/foo/ and from this I could tell that ''foo'' was the site that did the redirect. Of course when I try this with Ruby I get "method not found" which is hardly surprising. I''ve had a quick look round google but

Hi, I''ve been doing more searching, and I''m kinda stuck on how to send back error messages to a SOAP / XML-RPC client if say for example the username and password they supplied were incorrect. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers, Pete -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''ve got an interesting one here :) I have a form with three fields : serial_number initial surname now, if serial_number is entered, it must be between 1 and 64000. If it''s filled in, the other two fields must be blank. If serial_number is left blank then the other two boxes must be filled. Any suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, One of my apps has to export data for the backend system to process it. What''s the best way to create a CSV file in Rails and then return it as a file to the client? i.e when they go to the link /csv/get_data it would return a csv file. I''ve been messing with the CSV library and I can get it to write out to a file, but not sure how to best use this in a web app. Hope

Hi, After following the excellent tutorials in the Agile Web Development with Rails book, I was able to get my webservice working pretty much perfectly :) I can access it via SOAP and XML-RPC and look at service.wsdl to find the API. What I can''t do however is get the API for the XML-RPC call. It fails with : Internal protocol error: NilClass is not a valid input stream. It must

Hi, I''ve just started using web services which are working brilliantly apart from one odd little problem. For some reason the controller runs perfectly for the first request - and then fails for the second request citing missing definitions etc. Basically it''s reading in the class definitions initially - but for some reason doesn''t read them in for the second time.

Hi, I''m having trouble with a piece of code based on an example someone kindly posted here: errors.add(''surname'', "must be blank when the serial number is known") if !surname.nil?|| !surname=="" Now, even if surname is empty, it still flags the error message. I imagine I''m doing something rather obviously wrong but I''m not

Hi, I''m currently using request.env[''REMOTE_HOST''] to pull back the remote users IP address. This worked fine in development (and production) under Webrick but when I tried to use it with mongrel, it kicked back an error. Is there a more appropriate way to find out the remote users IP address? Thanks in advance! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''ve got mongrel working nicely behind lighty which is working great. Unfortunately we use remote IP addresses to work out which store is connecting to the system. I just tried connecting to the application via proxy server, and rails sees my IP address now as being 127.0.0.1. Obviously this stops me seeing the correct IP address for the store. Is there any way around this?

Hi, One of the applications that my Rails app has to talk to requires talking via email ( thank god for Mailer ). The problem is that the emails need to be pgp signed... I was wondering if anyone had ever used pgp signatures within a Rails app? Thanks in advance! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Anyone who has seen my posts so far will know straight away that I''m new to Ruby. The kind help and advice I''ve received here has been invaluable to me and is greatly appreciated! I wish all programming communities were this friendly! :) Anyway, on to the question... I started off on PHP which didn''t require any real multi-threading techniques - at least for

Hi, I''m using scriptaculous to provide an auto complete textbox - and it works perfectly - but I was wondering if there was anyway to let users navigate the choices using the keyboard i.e the curor keys as opposed to having to use the mouse? Apart from that it''s perfect! :) Cheers, Pete -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''d like to allow users to upload images and store those images in a Postgres database. I''ve looked through the example in "aguile development with rails" which suggests using the MySQL blob field. When I wrote a similar app in Java, we Base64 encoded the file and then stored it as a text field. Is this easy to do in RoR too? Any advice you can give me would
