I offer my apologies in advance for the repost. On a list as busy as this, it is sometimes easy to get missed in the shuffle. I am trying to create, display and edit a referenced object''s text field on the same view as my root object. For example: ------------------------- Quiz: <<quiz.name>> Preamble: <<quiz.preamble_presentation.text>> Postamble: <<quiz.postamble_presentation.text>> [create][cancel] ------------------------- quiz.preamble_presentation references a Presentation object instance. The Presentation object contains a...

Hi, I am thinking about how to best design a quiz site in RoR. I think it should be fairly easy, but have run into a wall. In the simplest form, the view would grab all of the questions for a particular quiz and display them (e.g. multiple choice, so 4 option buttons per question). However, I can''t figure out how to "mark"...

I am trying to create, display and edit a referenced object''s text field on the same view as my root object. I have just about come to the conclusion that whoever invented of taglibs should be shot. quiz.preamble_presentation references a Presentation object instance. The Presentation object contains a property called text, among others. The generated form will display the ID of the presentation, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to display/edit the contents of the text property of the...

...lly mean"? I think I am missing a subtlety of Ruby syntax here, since the question_controller is actually trying to call the Question constructor. Can someone point out what I am missing please?

...pment. My idea of a perfect screen is plain white that is sparsely populated with black text with a single font and no effects. The default stylesheets that rails generates are quite a bit more elaborate than I would choose to build :o) I am trying to build a flash-card application that contains quizzes, questions, possible answers, and presentations, plus historical records of users''s answers over time (quiz_instances, question_instances, response_instances). I have been working from Thomas and Hansson (Agile Web Development With Rails), but I appear to be missing something in the mo...

Hey, I just put up a little rails pop-quiz on my blog (more fun than just writing a post saying "hey did you know..."). Seeing as it''s probably of interest to more than just the three people (including my wife) that actually read my blog I figured it would be okay to announce it here. http://tinyurl.com/prxdl I...

The result is "The Best of Ruby Quiz", a wonderful book which will teach any Ruby programmer new techniques and approaches to coding. If you want to ho...

I was implementing dirty checking for an application, and I found something that is a little counterintuitive. Let me start with a quick quiz: bob=User.find(1) alice=User.find(2) trip=Trip.new trip.driver=bob old_driver=trip.driver trip.driver=alice In this example, who is old_driver? If you guessed Alice, you''re right. Inside associations.rb, the mutator is defined as: define_method("#{reflection.name}=&quo...

Today, I was looking for an elegant (and efficient) way to get a named (atomic) vector by selecting one column of a data frame. Of course, the vector names must be the rownames of the data frame. Ok, here is the quiz, I know one quite "cute"/"slick" answer, but was wondering if there are obvious better ones, and also if this should not become more idiomatic (hence "R-devel"): Consider this toy example, where the dataframe already has only one column : > nv <- c(a=1, d=17, e...

I''m writing a quiz application and I need to validate the radio button reponses. I do not have the questions in a database, I just have forms which contain "question1" and then I strip out the "question" portion and just insert the number as the question''s id. So now I''m fac...

...district. We have migrated to samba, in order to save money, and we love it. We have a situation though, where managing a program under samba, vs. Novell is a bit harder, and I want some suggestions on how to handle it. The program is Accelerated Reader, which is a program where students take quizes, and the quizes are read from a proprietary database(not sql) that is just a folder on a share. Quiz results are also posted here. We mapped this folder to a drive R:, and it works fine. Our problem is that sometimes the database needs maintenance, which is normal for this program....and all u...

My uncle recently bought a new computer and he wants me to help him install Guitar Pro. The thing is, he doesn't have Windows, and I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu with wine on the comp. Quiz time! Can you use wine, with GP, and if you can, deos it perform poorly in any ways?

Hi all, I''m looking for some advice on where we should be putting an advert if we are looking to hire a full time rails developer? Or turning it around what websites (or mailing lists) do folks here use to if they feel the need for a change in view from their desk? A few details to narrow down scope since it might affect the advice, apologies in advance, trying to NOT make this an

Dear expeRts, I would like to create a plotmath-label of the form X_1^\prime. Here is how to *not* do it [not nicely aligned symbols]: plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X*minute[1]))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X[1]*minute))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X)[1]*minute)) Any suggestions? Cheers, Marius

...ed to avoid some potential confusion): ; CHECK-DAG: BEFORE ; CHECK-NOT: BETWEEN ; CHECK-DAG: AFTER The page says this will reject the sequence "AFTER BEFORE", which is correct. It's intuitively obvious that it will also reject the text "BEFORE BETWEEN AFTER" as well. Pop Quiz: Will it accept or reject "BEFORE AFTER BETWEEN"? No, don't go try it, that's cheating; what do you *think* will happen? Take a minute, I won't mind. --- So, here's the story. Normally a -NOT line will scan the text between the points where the preceding and following C...

= numbersToWords - convert your integers and floats to english or japaneese words,or translate it into american currency - This plugin was created from a solution to the ruby quiz (english numbers) by Matthew D Moss. I modified the code to work as a rails plugin and added the to_dollars method. - the to_dollars method will work with integers and floats - the to_english and to_japaneese methods will only work with integers. If you have call these methods on a float, it will...

This has the look of a "just don''t quite get it yet" problem. I am using the ActiveRecord.find_by_id method to identify the parent object (Quiz) to tie to the child object (Question) at create time.
