Hi, when the "Agile Web Development" book talks about routes, there are what looks like console transcripts like the following: URL> store @params = {:controller => ''store'', :action = ''index''} Is there something like a console for testing routes (where you could put in a url and see how rails would route it)??

After I have uploaded my app where do I specify that my app should now use production environment settings and not development? Can that be done dynamically so that I don''t have to reset a value once I upload website? Thanks for your help!

Hello everyone- I was just reading the article on Rails at O''Reilly and one of those little light bulbs over my head went off - what a GREAT tool. I tried to install both Ruby on my Mac PowerBook without much luck and then tried to install Ruby and Rails on a FreeBSD server I have. I am running into some odd errors - so, my question is - can you point me to some tech resources

Anyone else having problems with :anchor? Until 0.10.0 it was working fine but with this recent update it''s just not doing anything. Thanks, Pedro

I posted something about this yesterday, and got some good responses but it seems that the variable @request[''controller''] isn''t being passed in to the page or isn''t being read. Has the naming convention for these variables changed. it worked great in all rails versions up to 0.9.5 with fcgi, but is not working in rails 0.10.0 with fcgi. I am currently just

...ho sent patches and suggestions for this release. Especially I want to thank Patrick Lenz and Seth Hall for the tireless bug fixing and improvement of the code health. Typo is now 1435 lines of very aesthetic code and is backed up by 1120 lines of tests putting it at a 0:8 ratio. -- http://www.snowdevil.ca - Snowboards that don''t suck http://www.hieraki.org - Open source book authoring http://blog.leetsoft.com - Technical weblog _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/ma...

I''ve been using the login generator ''out of the box'' for simple authentication, and its been working fine. Now I want to extend it by simply adding ''type_id'' field which links to my ''user_types'' table, but I''m hitting: #<ActionController::SessionRestoreError: Session contained objects where the class definition

Hi Everyone, I''m trying to figure out how to do SQL queries in the Controller. I know this is not recommended, but I can''t use ActiveRecord because I am dealing with thousands of a different tables, one for each user, and I don''t think AR can be made to handle that situation. You can assign the table name; but that''s a class variable so any particular

I am trying to use the login generator, but I keep getting the following error when I run "generate login Account": /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.10.0/lib/rails_generator/base.rb:84:in `manifest'': No manifest for ''login'' generator. (NotImplementedError) from (eval):3:in `__send__'' from (eval):3:in `manifest'' from

Hi, I''m working with acts_as_tree to print an unordered list of items: Root -- Child ---- Child I''ve got this working, however I''d like to know if there is a more elegant fashion that I''m unaware of: #Takes a parent category and recursivley returns all children def find_all_subcategories(category) if category.children.size > 0

I have added roles and roles_users table and updated the model so that my users can have multiple roles. ("Admin" role does always have id = 1). I have added these methods to my application controller. <code> helper_method :is_admin? helper_method :is_user? def is_admin? if @session[''user''] @session[''user''].roles.find(1)

One problem I sort of always had with the ActiveRecord''s tight coupling to the SQL backend is how slow it makes the unit tests. OK, there are some ways to make it faster at a price of extra complexity (reusing the fixtures, doing a rollback in the end of the test, etc), but still - it is much slower than what I would like a unit test to be. Today I had a very simple idea (why, oh why

Tobias, I would have left a comment on your blog, a thanks really, except that the comment submit form is throwing an error. So, thanks for the cool tools, especially the login generator. After deleting the old generator the new one worked and passed all tests in a snap. Like Tim Lucas said, the Hieraki code base is a wonderful resource for someone learning Rails. Much appreciated.

I am running Rails on my Mac, installed from fink/gems. I get this error when I try to re/start Apache: FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc: access for server (uid -1, gid -1) failed: read not allowed If I chmod the /tmp/fcgi_ipc directory, apache starts and everything''s fine. Why is fcgi_ipc in my /tmp directory? Can anyone guess why the chmod''ing doesn''t seem to

Caching computation in rails? Simple example: factorial modulus a large number input: integer x output: factorial( x ) % 12345678901234567 I want it so that if it computes factorial of N once, it will not have to compute for N again. code: class SiteController < ApplicationController caches_action :factorial, :inv def examine @inv = @params[''inv''] @outv =

hi, i''m falling in love with rails, but the main obstacle is digesting the huge amount of documetation for it... i''m getting dizzy flipping back and forth between my development and the online reference. i know rails is in a constant state of flux, but surely there is a pdf-ized version of the api reference out there somewhere. alas, google tells me there is no such animal.

I try the following command: gem cleanup and I get this: C:\Ruby\bin>"c:\Ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "c:\Ruby\bin\gem" cleanup ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError) Unknown command cleanup Even if I try: gem cleanup rails I get the same thing. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Chad

Hello. I am converting my Java app to Rails and I''ve hit something that has me a bit baffled. I''ve been fiddling with this for over an hour and trying many different combinations so at this point I''ve lost perspective. It''s probably something simple but I can''t see it anymore. I have a component that looks like this: <% for advertiser_category in

Has anyone used this to get data out of PHP sessions? I can get data out using the php_unserialize function however I am getting a array of strings that looks like this: ["key1: data1","key2: data2"] I would rather get RoR session style of associative arrays ["key1"=>"data", "key2"=>"data2"] Am I just being dense and there is an
