The example doesn''t work as described for me; not sure if I haven''t followed it right, or there''s a problem with the code. Can someone help me to determine what the problem is. Specifically, after adding the authentication code to the PostsController, with this line: before_filter :authenticate, :except => [:index, :show] The guide says that "we want the user to be authenticated on every action, except for index and show", however, it only authenticates on the new post and edit options; it doesn''t authenticate...

Hi, I am creating a blog to learn ruby on rails. I have 2 different views/models/controllers, 1 called post and 1 called comments. How do i link a post from the views/post directory to the comments that belong to the post in the views/comment directory. This is the code in the post/show.rhtml <%= render :partial => "post", :object => @post %> <%= link_to ''Back'...

...h2><%= @user.login %></h2> <div class="photo"> <%= image_tag user_photo %> </div> <div class="details"> <p>Email: <%= @user.email %></p> <p>Joined: <%= @user.created_at.to_s(:long) %></p> <p>Posts: <%= @user.posts.count %></p> </div>[/code] However, I want this helper to work elsewhere in the app, such as a _post partial, which obviously is called on the Post index and show actions, etc. But because the user_photo method uses the @user instance variable, I need to make it...

I''ve been creating my own message board in rails as a learning exercise. I''m currently trying to implement posting using AJAX, so the topic page as a whole doesn''t need reloading. What I''ve written works as epected in IE6 and Safari, but the AJAX call fails silently in Firefox 1.5 -- although the server has logged the request, the "success" callback event seems never to trigger,...

Does anyone know if Rails is supposed to validate associated objects on creation? Say you have a User model, with has_many posts, and a Post model which belongs_to user. Further, the Post model has a validates_uniqueness_of :title. u = User.find(1) # this should pass u.posts.create :title => ''my new post title'' # this should fail u.posts.create :title => ''my new post title'' Th...

I''m trying to create a paginated list that will take note of the "end_date" field in my table.
