...ng about models. Using the /lib directory seemed to be the only way. Alright... so I have something like this: /lib/code.rb class ActiveRecord::Base def method_a(n) ....... end def method_b(n) ........ end end /models/some_model.rb class SomeModel < ActiveRecord::Base def self.some_method(a, b) ........ end def other_method ........ end end I also added `require ''code''` to enviroment.rb My problem is that, for some reason, I can''t use any method declared in code.rb inside `self.some_method`. However, the methods work perfectly well inside `o...

I have a simple question when to the synchronize method in the Mutex class. Now that backgroundrb has allow_concurrency = true there is no need to synchronize database calls in threads. The question I have is lets say I have a simple method in my worker as follows: def some_method SomeModel.find_all each do |obj| obj.some_count += 1 obj.save! end end It accesses the database, but is not in a thread. Since this is a single process running in the background, if that method gets called simultaneously will the database lose connection? Will I get unexpected results?...

I have a strange behavior when validating a record in a nested form. The association collection is empty when creating a new record and the validation does not catch the error. But when updating the same record the validation gets it right but continues to catch the error even after modifying the needed attribute value to make it pass. Here is the model: #timesheet.rb class Timesheet <

I have a method in a controller that invokes a render :partial => ''some_partial_view'' In that view, I''m trying to access a method defined in a model, like this; <% for view in @an_array %> <% local_var = view.some_method() %> <% another_var = view.a_column_name %> etc.. I am getting an undefined method error but the model is accessible because the variable ''another_var'' is accessed correctly. I have tried the following definitions in my ''View'' model; def some_meth...

I was looking at Kyle Mawell''s extremely nifty-looking StateModels plugin http://www.kylemaxwell.com/articles/2006/02/06/fun-with-single-table-inheritance and before I go down the road with it, I was wondering if anyone has used it with file_column. The way file_column deals with an uploaded file -- by storing it to the filesystem in a path that employs the model name and id --

Hi, How can I validate user info under certain conditions? For example, I just downloaded a plug-in that allows me to validate phone numbers, but what I would like is to only validate the phone number if it is not blank and if the user_type_id field is equal to one. How can I achieve such a validation in my user model? Thanks, - Dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You

Hi, I wonder if there''s an easy way to access the associated Model class from its Controller.

Hi , It comes to me that helper has some weaknesses: 1) It is hard to test . No easy way to write test code for it. (or Just i didn''t know?) 2) Not easy to reuse it on other controller/view/model. it looks like to that putting the helper code into a model (a fully helper model , or a mixed model) is good practice. However i agree that some html intensive

...ay. I used whenever gem. I added gem ''whenever'' in my gemfile. Then in the terminal I did - "whenever ." which created a schedule.rb.

Hi, i''m trying dyamically add a bit of code into a page by updating a div. this works great but it puts the page in with the standard layout around it duplicating it. Is there someway just to bypass using any layout with a rhtml file? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...y, or cleaning up your database or server files. This wiki page has some ideas, but these seem a bit extreme. http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToRunBackgroundJobsInRails I''ve also seen people suggest using cron to execute script/runner: script/runner -e production "Model.some_method()" It seems to me you could also have cron execute a wget to a page like: wget http://www.domain.com/controller/action/id And I vaguely remember someone saying they were working on a better solution (as a plugin?). What are people actually using? What works best? Thanks, Kevin Skoglund
