This is a stupid question I know, but it is driving me crazy - I am missing something simple and basic here. I am trying to update missing zip codes on a data table.

Hi friends! I''m relatively new with Rails and I''m struggling for a long time with this problem (it should have a pattern solution but until now I didn''t find it): I have the following models: Institution, City, State and Country. class Country < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :states has_many :cities, :through => :states end # == Schema Information # Table

I''m trying to use a shared method from an ActionMailer template. The method was originally in ApplicationHelper, but I''ve also tried it in the base controller (application.rb), with and without helper_method.

Hi all I tried and tried and tried, but I still fail in creating a form with proper validation and stuff for foreign keys... So I''d really like to get some help here.
