Hi, I was trying to use the :select parameter to select a calculated row, but it appears that the parameter is not picked up by the paginate method. I want to add the following to the select statement: timediff(now(), created_on) as age So I tried: @story_pages, @stories = paginate :stories, {:per_page => 10, :include => ''user'', :select =>

I was working with acts_as_taggable earlier and thought I could make it a bit friendlier. I submitted a ticket and patch #8279. Basically, there are three differences. 1. Fixed the deprecated :dependent => true 2. Added migration generator (it has really specific requirements on table layout, so might as well generate it). 3. Expanded the README to explain using the migration and to include

in a single table inheritance model, rails will automatically set the scope for acts_as_list to the ''type'' field as well as any other scope conditions we provide. Is there a way to disable this? i want to use STI but I want acts_as_list to disregard the class type when getting/setting positions. thanks alan

Hello all. Apologies... I was a little too eager in my earlier annoucement about the Indexed Search Engine for Rails apps. The DB migration file contained an error that had to be worked around. I''ve fixed that, added more (and clearer) documentation, and a sample application. You can find most everything you want to know about Indexed Search Engine here:

I''m working on a bugtracker application in rails. I have a Bug model and I want to add a Priority to the mix. A Bug can have one priority. I generate a Priority model, modify my Bug model with a belongs_to :priority and create my migration like so: class CreatePriorities < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :priorities do |t| t.column :name, :string,

Hello everyone, Do you feel it? The little shiver down your spine when you think of "namespacing" in rails? To some thats a common feeling, to people like myself who enforce absolute organization have already thought about the need for namespaces in rails. Now I do understand this is an ongoing effort... to some degree. Controllers and routes, from my experiences work well, that being,

If (like me) you use ccrb to test a Rails app and (like me) you define your own :cruise task, because, for example, you use rspec rather than Test::Unit and (like me) you have the RAILS_ENV ||= ''production'' line in environment.rb (because, like me, you use crummy shared hosting) Your build will run in production mode, possibly screwing up your production database,

Hey guys, We''ve been talking about the multi-byte patch and I think it''s time to get feedback from you guys on a possible way forward. We can include ActiveSupport::Multibyte with rails 1.2, and update all of the relevant helpers to use the String#chars proxy. This will mean that none of the action view helpers will mangle multibyte strings. Similarly, if any Strings are being

Hi -- I''ve been having problems connecting to a SQL Server database that I thought might be related to the fact I was upgrading Rails to 2.0. However, I also was moving the project to my shiny new macbook. Anyway, after jumping through a few hoops (instaling DBI, etc.), I finally get to my latest error message: <error> DBI::InterfaceError: Could not load driver (no such file to

I am completely baffled by this one - My guess is that there is no pure ruby way to do this - but how could I set up a spec to test that one method is an alias of another? Thanks for any help, Scott

On December 14th, 2004 David Heinemeier Hansson sent this to the mailing list: I''m seeing a lot of new names on the list. Could we perhaps do a round of introductions? That would also be a great first post, if you haven''t had a chance to contribute yet. The basics should include your name, your organization, your country and city, and the project you''re

If there''s any budding Sydney developers that are just starting out with Rails and would like a head start, or if you have some friends you''d like to "enlighten", the first Rails workshop in Australia is being run alongside WebDU on March 1 in Sydney. It''s a half-day event for A$365 and though it''s open to anybody (not just WebDU delegates)

RJS templates are the only template type that are exempt from layout by default. Don''t you think it makes sense to add rxml to the list of exempt extensions? I''d assume most people would be surprised to see their XML embedded in the middle of their (most probably) rhtml layout. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk/actionpack/lib/ action_controller/base.rb:

Just looking at adding the ActiveRecord::Base#find! method that was spoken about a while ago now, and just wondering what''s the best way to add these tests in? My problem is that for 75% of the tests in finder_test.rb [1] I also want to ensure that find! or find_by_name! or find_by_sql! works alongside the regular finds. I can duplicate the tests: def test_find
