search for: posts

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...

I''m having trouble finding then displaying all items in my "posts" table that match a certain search string. I have a from field: <%= start_form_tag :action=> "search" %> <div title="Search" id="searchform" class="form"> <h3>Search</h3> <%= error_messages_for ''post'...

Suppose I have three tables - authors, posts and topics. Every post have a topic and every topic has an author, so I have posts.topic_id and topic.author_id. When the author is guest (not registered), author_id is nil. I need to find all the posts (in one query) where every post have all the information of the topic and the auther, so if...

Hi there, I have a question on what would be the best way to save a HABTM model. A posting habtm categories, and a category habtm postings. class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :postings end class Posting < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :categories end In my blog_controller, where the actual posting is saved, is where I think I''m

I have three tables. users, posts, users_posts. This last one is to mark a post as read. How do I write to the users_post table? Here''s what I have: In model ''User_Post'' belongs_to :post belongs_to :user In post/view/show: <%= link_to "Mark As Read", :controller => ''post'...

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

...39;'m at my wits end trying to figure out what it is! If anyone can help me, I''d be very grateful. Below are what I believe are the relevant file excerpts. What I''m trying to achieve is this: when the user clicks "reply", a form appears at the bottom of the list of posts for them to use. If they click "edit" on a post, the form is inserted before the post, and the post is then deleted. After typing their post, if they choose ''save'', the saved post is inserted before the form, then the form is deleted. If they choose ''cancel'...

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'' The...

trying to do my first rails app (surprise, it''s a blog!) anyhow. in list.rhtml, i have this: <% for post in @posts render(:partial => "post", :object=>post) end %> and in _post.rhtml, i have: <tr> <td><%= post.title%> <br /> <%= post.body%> <br /> problem is, no content shows up -- displays a blank page. for the record, if...

...(is this syntax even correct? it returns a result of false) the tags immediately start to appear in the tag search results. So is there a way to set ferret to automatically rebuild the tag index when a Post is saved? I imagine it probably shouldn''t rebuild the entire index for all posts every time a post is saved, as that might slow things up eventually, right? So what would be a good solution..?

I''m trying to create a paginated list that will take note of the "end_date" field in my table. This is what I have: @post_pages, @posts = paginate(:posts, :per_page => 10, :order_by => ''end_date'') in the controller. And for the view: <h1>Posts ending soon</h1> <ul><% for post in @posts do %> <strong>Post Title: </strong><%= post.title %> <strong> Date Endin...

I have 2 models right now: "users" and "posts". When a user creates a post I would like their id to be recorded under "user_id" in the "posts" table. Under the "user" model I have: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :posts end And under the "posts" model I have: class Post < A...

Very bizarre behavior has cropped up in a few spots. # the action for viewing a blog post def posts @post = BlogPost.find_by_slug(params[:id], :include => :commentary) # a breakpoint here shows @post and @post.commentary with appropriate data redirect_to :action => ''archive'' unless @post end # posts.rhtml <%= @post.inspect %> => nil <%= render :partial =...

Hi all, I''m sure this is really simple, but I can''t seem to figure it out. I want to let users preview their messages before submitting. Something in the form of: def new @post = Post.new end def preview #preview message text here #@post = Post.new(params[:post]) <--? end def create #save message on user''s confirmation ... @post.save end Have any
