Hi all! I have come into a strange issue in Rails that I am hoping someone can shed some light. To make a very long story short, I have been researching how to override ActiveRecord::Base#read_attribute and write_attribute to perform security checks at the model level (influenced by the ModelSecurity generator). Shortly after implementing some code to check this behavior, I began to

Hi! I''m a very-very new Ruby-on-Rails user even if I have some experience with other Languages (mostly PHP, so this is my first real object-oriented language) My problem, newbie-ish as it is, is the following: I have a model, Article, that returns Articles from the DB. Now, when a certain field of the model (the intro text) contains no data, I want to fill it with a truncated

Would really appreciate it if someone could tell me why this is happening: I override ssn method of AR class so I can encrypt/decrypt to/from the db: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base def ssn=(value) write_attribute(:borrower_ssn, Crypto.encrypt(self.encryption_key, value)) write_attribute(:borrower_ssn_final_four, value[5,4]) end def ssn # this begin - rescue can be

There are definitely some files with some weird names- in an ssh session they don't even have regular characters. e.g -rw-rw---- 1 xxx xxx 114985112 Oct 31 14:39 ▒^t Not sure if that is related to problems though.

Hi All, Is there a way to filter / modify the output of a model class before it''s returned to controller/view that''s calling it? Example: I have a field phone_number which I always want to preformat using the number_to_phone() helper.... Any help is appriciated. Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi. I have two types of fields in my database, e.g. "name" and "name_ru". First one is a user''s name in english and the second one is in russian. I want to intercept calls like "c.name" and add "_ru" to it if current language is russian (I have my own Locale class like n Globalize). So I want such thing: -- Locale.set("en-US") c.name

Could someone explain this? #config/initializers/ar_attributes.rb module ActiveRecord module AttributeMethods alias_method :ar_read_attribute, :read_attribute def read_attribute(attr_name) p "read_override" ar_read_attribute(attr_name) end alias_method :ar_write_attribute, :write_attribute def write_attribute(attr_name, value)

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the

Hi all, here is the challenge: I have this validation method, that basically prevents an object which billed = true to be updated: def before_update if read_attribute(:billed) errors.add_to_base(''This service has already been billed for'') end !read_attribute(:billed) end The above code does not work in case I do something like: object =

ZFS introduces a new and incompatible ACL interface into Solaris and this seems to be not yet fully completed in addition to the fact that is causes a lot of problems for software that needs to be compatible with Solaris-2.5 like star. Proof for incompatibility: create a file on UFS and set an ACL for this file. Use Sun tar cpf out file to archive this file. Unpack this archive file on ZFS

Hello all, I''ve been trying to use a facade column but I notice that the form helpers don''t seem to respect the facade. In the following example I''m trying to story the prices as Integer values but present them to the user as decimals. class Product < ActiveRecord::Base def price=(new_price) write_attribute(:price, Float(new_price)*100) end def price

Hello Railists, I have a piece of Ruby on Rails code that has a complex SQL query (well, not that complex, but as far as I know beyond the ORM capabilities) and for my taste it has too many strings and harcoded values. I''d like to improve it as much as possible, so my question is open ended, what else can I do to improve it? Some particular issues I have - Is there a way to get a table

When a column in a database table is actual data, rather than an fkey to another table, I can override the automatic accessor by just doing the following: def field_name # do something here read_attribute(field_name) end This does not seem to work for me if the field is an fkey, say user_id, linking to another table. I''ve made this work by aliasing the accessor like this: alias

I''m learning rails and have a test application which parses parts an XML file to create AR objects and puts them in a database. The IDs in the database are taken from the XML, i.e. I explicitly set them using #id. The XML structure is mapped to AR relationships using has_many, belongs_to etc. I''m using a SAX parser, creating objects when the element start tag occurs and saving

It looks like this: chown root username chmod A- username chmod og-rwx username chmod A+user:username:write_acl:deny username chmod A+user:username:list_directory/read_data/add_file/write_data/add_subdirectory/append_data/read_xattr/write_xattr/execute/delete_child/read_attributes/read_acl/write_owner/synchronize:allow username chmod A+group@:read_xattr/read_attributes/read_acl/synchronize:allow username chmod A+everyone@:read_xattr/read_attributes/read_acl/synchronize:allow username This all works very well when using an NFS mounted filesystem, and works with samba-3.6.22....

All, I''m having a hell of a time figuring out what is going on here. I''m trying to override one of my getters so that I can format it a certain way in my form. But I can''t seem to get text_field to call the appropriate method on my object. So here''s my getter: public def FAX fax = read_attribute(:FAX) puts fax
