I used generate/scaffold to create simple CRUD screen that works perfectly with Webrick. I wanted to attempt to run the same ROR app on Apache. I followed the instructions found at http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Fast+CGI+and+Apache2+for+Windows+XP with the alternate ending found at http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Fast+CGI+and+Apache2+for+Windows+wit hout+VirtualHosts.

I want to have a form to change a users password. I can''t figure out what the method in the controller should look like. I tried @user.save and @user.update_attributes, but can''t get it to work. My Form: ############################## <%= start_form_tag :action => "update_password", :id => @user.id %> <%= password_field ("user",

I am running a subversion server (on Windows) but I would like to run Collaboa. I am pretty familiar with the Linux world (not in a developer sence) and I am having problems with installing the prereqs for Collaboa. I have read the article "How to install Collaboa on Debian" but it doesn''t seem to work for me. Has anyone gotten this working and can help? Seth Buntin Web

All, I''m wanting to initialize an ActiveRecord object. I understand that there is a method called after_initialize that appears to get called right after the ActiveRecord object is instantiated. Is after_initialize a Ruby thing or a Rails thing? Where is after_initialize documented? Can I pass parameters to it? If so, how? I want to initialize the "belongs_to" attribute of

Hi, I''m using activemerchant and setting up a class variable using config.after_initialize. It works great for the first request, but then the variable is nil. config.after_initialize do ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.mode = :test OrderTransaction.gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalGateway.new(...) end I''m assuming this is is due to the model reloading after each

All, I have a quick question - is the purpose of implementing after_initialize to allow custom attribute initialization for AR descendants? I have been overriding initialize whenever I require custom setup of my model classes, like so: def initialize(attributes = nil) super self.Status = ''G'' end So I have a couple of questions: 1) Could I achieve the same

Hi everybody I would like a function as the "before_save" method in the model. But it must be the opposite. When I take out data from the database through the model, I want to call a function before the data are available in the controller.

Hi everybody, Is there a gem or something for working directly with Subversion from a RoR app? Thanks, Tiffani A.B. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060727/26846e72/attachment-0001.html

I''m trying to use redis-store as my cache_store. I also have an app_confirg.rb initalizer which loads a yaml file for config settings. In my redis.rb initializer I have: MyApp::Application.config.cache_store = :redis_store, APP_CONFIG[''redis''] However, this doesn''t appear to work. If I do Rails.cache in my rails console I can clearly see it''s using

I have the following models: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :billing_address belongs_to :shipping_address accepts_nested_attributes_for :billing_address accepts_nested_attributes_for :shipping_address, :reject_if => proc { |attributes| attributes[''has_shipping_address''] != ''1'' } def after_initialize self.build_billing_address

I have a case where I am abstracting the creation of models. After a fair bit of indirection, I eventually get around to making a .new call. I need to be able to pass params to that .new call. I know I can''t use def initialize() in an AR model (rather frustrating). So, I have found some references to after_initialize, but that doesn''t work either. I see several threads on

Hi all, Just had an interesting production failure while updating my Rails application - a bunch of code previously in config/environment.rb was put into config/initializers. That resulted in me having to wrap some code in config/environments/production.rb into an after_initialize do ... end block When backgroundrb was run against that code, the setup done in that after_initialize block

Hi everyone, I am trying to extend an active record model using obj.extend(module). The aim is to overwrite some of the model methods depending on what''s in the object. For example, the base class would be "file", with objects such as "image", and "text". The aim is to be able to something like this: file = File.new() file.extend(Image) file.process

In Rails 3, is it possible to have a plugin inside an engine? Adding the lib dir of the plugin to autoload_paths doesn''t seem to work. I can manage to load it by adding that path to $: and requiring the init.rb file, but I''m not sure that''s the correct approach.

I''m trying to add some per-object behaviors to objects descended from ActiveRecord, by using after_initialize() and instance_eval(), like this: def after_initialize self.instance_eval(File.read(''customers/default.rb'')) end (Ultimately the file path will be dynamic, this is just proof of concept.) default.rb just contains a few method definitions like this one: def

Nothing special, just my first plugin. it came out of a request I saw on the list from someone who wanted to be able to tell if a model''s attributes had changed prior to being saved. Well, this plugin does just that (at least I hope it does). http://rubyforge.org/projects/actsasmodified/ Please see the README for details. Constructive comments and criticisms are appreciated. Chris
