I''m currently writing an app that provides a Web Service. I''ve got a model Header and an associated has_one HeaderImage and I''m trying to find a way to make this data available. Defining a normal API: api_method :header, :expects => [{''id'' => :int}], :returns => [Header] Only returns the header object without associations, has anyone got

How does one do a SELECT MAX query in rails? I''ve searched and searched and tried lots of things with no luck. I want to implement "SELECT MAX(column_name) from table_name and have it return the maximum value from column_name. I just need to get that one value, not the whole object... Thanks for any ideas...

Using a <%= form_tag ... %>, how do I give a form a name, so that I can reference it with javascript? I sure can''t figure this out from the docs... Thanks, Shelby PS - what I am trying to do is just have the focus in the first form field when the form is loaded. There has to be an easy way to do this, but I can''t figure it out... -------------- next part --------------

I have a rather complex object with a number of attributes. For a variety of reasons, I would like one view to create the object with only a couple of fields completed, then a second and third view to finish all the fields. I would like the model to validate_presence_of all these fields, since eventually I need them all there, and I would like each page to validate its portion of the fields that

I''m having an argument with my son :) I have a table with about 1500 objects called entries. I need to do something with about 100 of them (schedule manually) I say I should just mark them with a boolean when I have scheduled them. (manual == true) My son says I should pull them out of the entries table and copy them to new objects (lets call them "manual" objects, and store

I have a database field called dates in which I am trying to serialize an array of DateTime objects. When I unserialize them, they are coming back in as Time objects. I know this, because I am getting errors that say "comparison between Time and DateTime failed. Why is this happening? Is there a way to prevent it??

I''m studying the Agile Development with Rails book. In the chapter that first sets up the depot application (page 68), there is this bit of code from a view: <% for product in @products %> <tr> <% for column in Product.content_columns %> <td><%=h product.send(column.name) %></td> <% end %> etc... I am trying to absorb both Ruby and

Reading the Agile book, I can''t find a single command to save a collection. The save command seems to operate on only individual objects. Lets say I have a collection that I have received from a find_all command. I want to go through and change some attributes in various objects in the collection. Then I want to resave the whole collection back to the database. I don''t think

I am confused about ruby fast C bindings. Does the command: gem install mysql install these? Is this page: http://www.tmtm.org/en/mysql/ruby/ the home page for these bindings? If so, it gives no instructions about installing them with using gem. Wondering if this is all the same??? Thanks for any help...

I have rewritten a java webapp into rails. The database structure is basically the same except that: 1) in the legacy app, several of the tables did not use ID numbers, but relied on other fields as the primary key 2) in the legacy app, there is a join table that uses email address and category names to do the join, not ID numbers I would like to move or change this database to match my new

What is the proper syntax to apply a css class to a link created using link_to? I''ve tried <%= link_to("details", :class => "details", :action => "edit", :id => event) %> but that creates a link which looks like /admin/events/edit/3?class=details which is not what I''m looking for. Kyle Heon

I have an ActiveRecord model (called Festival) that contains an array of "FestDate" objects serialized into a sql text column of the Festival object. (like the Agile book first edition describes on p. 205) The FestDate objects themselvs are not ActiveRecord objects. (of course, otherwise they would be in their own table...) When working with a Festival, I would like to use various

I have a bit of code in a controller that looks like this: @current_festival.monitor_preferences.each do |pref| if pref.user_id == @me.id pref.preference = params[:monitor_pref] #pref.save end end @current_festival.save_with_validation(false) the Festival class has_many :monitor_preferences the MonitorPreference class belongs_to :festival In the configuration above, the

I would like to use the collection_select with a simply array as the source of the collection. My array looks like this: STATES = ["Alabama", "Alaska", "Texas"] and it is stored in my environment.rb I can''t figure out the syntax for the collection_select in this situation... collection_select("my_object", "state", what goes here??? ) I

The Agile book seems to say I should specify this as follows, probably in the environments.rb: ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS[:database_manager] = CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore BUT the environments.rb file would have me Un-Comment this: config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store Anyway, I''ve tried both, and in both cases it

I''m running a simple WEBrick server for a small rails website. I probably get less than 100 hits per hour. I just looked in /tmp on the server and there are over 10,000 ruby_sess.* temp files containing: " hash{" flashIC:''ActionController::Flash::FlashHash{: @used{ They''ve piled up so much that I can''t even rm -f ruby*.

Hi all How would you go about sharing a session between two rails2 applications? I am using restful_authentication. A point in the direction of some relevant blogs would also be a great help.

I''m having an issue using the ActiveRecordStore for sessions with Rails 0.9.4.1. When I setup the session object during login I get the following stack trace: IndexError in Login#auth string not matched /app/controllers/login_controller.rb:26:in `auth'' gems/gems/actionpack-1.3.1/lib/action_controller/base.rb:596:in `send''

Has anyone managed to replace ActiveRecordStore::Session with their own model? In the source (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/actionpack/lib/ action_controller/session/active_record_store.rb) it says you can override the default by setting CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore.session_class = MySessionClass I have tried doing this in a number of ways but I get all kinds of weird errors, as
