similar to: error_messages_for - different controllers, one view [revisited]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my first set of questions. Not only did I get my questions answered but I improved my code and learned a couple new things. I think I prefer the mailing list over IRC... easier to follow :-) I have some more questions if you don''t mind. Some are Rails related and some are Ruby related. 1) This is concerning displaying error messages. I am assuming

Hi, I have a strange problem with testing classes which have a HABTM relation. It seems that while running my tests with rake the fixture for the association table is not loaded - as a result I get a failure on a test which simply checks the number of associated elements - it says it''s 0 although there should be one. The weird thing is that when I run the tests with rcov

Hello, I''m a novice to ferret, so far only used it via acts_as_ferret. My question is about a recommended pattern for an ''advanced search'', which would be searching by all fields of a model and some fields from related models, with range search, expression search and wildcards. The kind of search in which a user is presented with a huge form that allows them to set

A couple questions: 1) How does rails no if you are in your test, dev or production environment? 2) Does anyone have an actionMailer server settings that will work on your standard local machine? I will use the one provided for my textdrive account but for testing on my machine I am getting connection refused. Thanks. Your Friend, Jonathan Kopanas http://www.kopanas.com

I''ve got two controllers, let''s call one Post and the other Comment for simplicity, i.e.: class Post < ApplicationController def show ... end end class Comment < ApplicationController def create @comment ... end end In my create() method I would like to redirect back to the show method after I have saved the comment. But If I have errors in saving the

How would I set up a model stub so that <%= error_messages_for ''some_model'' %> doesn''t complain? I started going down this road: @some_model.stub! (:errors).and_return(ActiveRecord::Errors.new) but it seems like a long, hopefully uneccessary road. Cheers, Michael

Sorry I can''t access IRC from work so I hope you don''t mind me asking my newbie questions here: 1) I have the following code: @post = Post.find(@params[''id'']) @comments = Comment.find_all "post_id = #@params[''id'']", "created_on ASC" And I am have problems with the second line. I want to pass the id from my post to the

After I have uploaded my app where do I specify that my app should now use production environment settings and not development? Can that be done dynamically so that I don''t have to reset a value once I upload website? Thanks for your help!

Ok, I''m hoping this won''t be a forehead slapper, but take a look at this code: physician.name.sub(/''/, "\\''") I''m trying to substitute a single quote with a backslash and a single quote. This seems pretty simple right? Well, someone kick me and tell me why it''s not :) Here''s what I''m getting if the

It seems odd to me that the layout is processesed after the view. When I set a variable inside the view it does not have an impact on the layout file. But when I set it in the controller it does. Is this the way it works or is it possible that I am doing something wrong?

Hello, I know the ticket about enabling url_for in ActionMailer views is closed and that there are some possible workarounds to this problem such as passing the controller instance or links from the controller, but I cannot figure out what to do if my emails are not sent from a controller - like periodic reminders or notifications triggered by a system scheduler, which need to include links.

I''m trying to find all the unique bill_number, status records in Bills table. I can do it with a find_by_sql statement like this: @records = Bill.find_by_sql( "select distinct bill_number, status from bills group by bill_number, status;") How would I rewrite it using ''find :all

I think I am missing something terribly obvious. Is it possible to have an :expects parameter for a webservice that is an array of objects? I want to have a single webservice that expects all my line items (for an order). Is this something that is possible? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have this save routine: def customer_address_create customer_options @customer = Customer.find(params[:id]) @customer.addresses.create(params[:address]) @saved = @customer.save end That passes to a rjs template like this: if @saved page.visual_effect :Fold, ''add_address'' page.replace_html ''addresses'', :partial =>

If I wanted to override the error_messages_for method where within the rails structure would I put it? Which file?

Hi, I wonder why error_messages_for take strings as params instead of instance variables. error_messages_for ''user'' instead of error_messages_for @user ''user'' is translated into @user eventually. If so, who not take the instance variables directly? Is there any reason for that? Thanks in advance. Sam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Just learning Rails.. So this is probably a noob question. My apologies. Could anyone please give me a quick summary/example on the usage of error_messages_for? I have two tables/models, Group and GroupMembers. Obviously, a Group has_many GroupMembers. I have a customized view which shows a list of GroupMembers followed by a field and a button which facilitates adding a member to the group by

Hi all, I am trying to change the default formatting for the error_messages_for. To quote from the ROR manual: /////////// error_messages_for(object_name, options = {}) Returns a string with a div containing all the error messages for the object located as an instance variable by the name of object_name. This div can be tailored by the following options: header_tag - Used for the header of
