similar to: Create a pseudo-model from SQL query?

so when I''m reading the pick axe book second edition I don''t see anything like the syntax you see people using in rails code. Specifically when you see. belongs_to :Person has_many :Phones etc these are methods on ActiveRecord right? Why is this invocation syntax never described in the Pick Axe book? I do see things like attr_reader :some_attribute etc but you

Hi to everyone, I''m an RSpec, and BDD in general, newbie so in order to learn I have chosen to use my personal website as a tesbed. I''m having difficulties juggling with mocks, and in particula with the following code. Here''s the controller action: def create @album = Album.new(params[:album]) if @album.save flash[:notice] = "album saved"

Hello all. Quick question ('Cause I'm famished and have to get something to eat) If I have a batch of files (wave and/or ogg) with a certain naming scheme. Would it be possible for me to write a small nifty (newbie) dos-batch program that could tag those ogg-files (or encode the waves with tags) with regards to the namin parameters. Let me clarify. I usually encode waves with the

Hello, I came across an association error today with facebooker. class Cover < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :album end class Album < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :cover, :dependent => :destroy end At the console: >> Album.find :first ArgumentError: Unknown key(s): dependant from

Maybe I''m missing the point? Lets take for example albums of pictures. If I have a scaffold for each, and I''m showing an album, what if I want to list all of the pictures that are in the album? Surely, I''d want to call the List action in the picture controller. render_component would do this perfectly. But we''re told not to use render_component. So

Hi everyone! I just started learning Ruby on Rails about a week ago for a school project, and can''t seem to find a solution for something. I have this inside the form inside of edit_albums.rhtml: <%= start_form_tag :action=>''proccess_edit_album'', :id=>@album.id %> .... Release Date: <%= datetime_select(:album, :release_date, :start_year => 1960)

I wanted to post publicly my problem with Jonathan's proposed album requirements. Although I do apologize, since this thread is too big already. The idea that as a requirement one should be able to identify the exact CD a track was ripped from is not a valid requirement in my book (not for the tags at least), and I hope I can explain why. Without knowing the exact way Jonathan wishes to

Suppose I have three tables - authors, posts and topics. Every post have a topic and every topic has an author, so I have posts.topic_id and topic.author_id. When the author is guest (not registered), author_id is nil. I need to find all the posts (in one query) where every post have all the information of the topic and the auther, so if p is one of those posts I could get the name of the

I am trying to convert some a few WAV files to ogg format (using vorbis-tools-1.0beta4 oggenc). I tried: $ oggenc -o nash.ogg nash.wav ERROR: Wav file is unsupported subformat (must be 16 bit PCM or floating point PCM ERROR: Input file "nash.wav" is not a supported format And: splay -d - nash.wav | oggenc -r -o nash.ogg - The resulting file when played with ogg123 played so

I am sitting with the Agile book on my desk and scratching my head at the discussion on aggregation - perhaps that isn''t what I need. I have a db called clients. fields include - first_name middle_initial last_name I want to combine them all into one name element in a list view. I can add/edit the fields separately but in the list view, I only want the one combo field. Is there a

I''m having a lot of trouble stubbing out an association extension for some view tests. Example rails code modeling a music album: class Album < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :songs do def streamable find(:all, :conditions => ''streamable = 1'') end end end So for a given Album instance (say @album), I need to be able to stub both

I have a simple project created around a very, very simple database: one main table packs with just three rows Column | Type | Modifiers --------+-----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------- id | integer | not null default nextval(''packs_id_seq''::regclass) nombre | character

HI Stefan, CC'ing Reid Kleckner, who might have some insight here, and llvm-dev as this may be of interest to other windows JIT users. I am facing the issue that C++ dynamic_cast doesn't work for types > loaded from object files with RuntimeDyLd. <snip> Do you think it is possible that RuntimeDyLd misses type info data in > the COFF file or doesn't wire it up

Does anyone know how to disable a model''s callbacks? I have a routine that increments a page_view counter for various model objects in an after_filter in my ApplicationController. I call this: increment_page_view() Rather that checking through the trace array in each model callback for "increment_page_view" I''d rather disable the callbacks from inside

I am racking my brain over this, probably because I only know very simple mysql functions. Basically I''ve got a few tables, ex: Albums (id,name,band_id); Bands (id,name,label_id), and Label (id,name) I want to search through both album.name, band.name, and label.name throwing all results into a variable, with no redundant info. I think what I need to be doing is setting up some

I mentioned sub-tagging in an earlier post. Here's a more in-depth mail on what i thought of. One of the debates going on here are whether ARTIST is worthy of life. Another is whether the average user will bother filling in the detailed info Jonathan wants. Of course, all tags are optional, but nevertheless we should have a tagging-system that pleases _the_users_, that is, everybody: 1.

Hi there- I''m a newbie to this board, RoR, and web development in general. So please forgive me if this is in the wrong place or if the solution is really simple... I''m trying to conceptualize the relationships between a series of models for a page creation function. What I''d like is to have a Content Page which consists of a series of Content Blocks. The Content
