Is there documentation somewhere on how RoR handles pluralization? I''m finding it head-scratching/table-thumping. I''m playing with converting an old PHP app to RoR. I used to have a table called "status_code" which was referenced by column "status". I converted the "status" column to "status_id" and the table to "statuses",

Sorry if this is a really lame question, I''m sure it''s something fairly obvious, but I just can''t see it at the moment... I''m trying to add something simple to the model for a project management/todo list/thing. The DB has ''first_name'' and ''last_name'', and I''d like to have "full_name" available. So -

for some reason the controller is parsing everything fine, but the return is a page instead of code execution. I have other ajax forms no listed that are also running fine on this same page. there are supposed to be 3 ajax events: onblur event that calls a function to submit - doesn''t work. There is a submit button at the end of the form - works there is a delete image that removed the

Hello railists, I have a list of news headers on my index page. I would like to hide this list if current controller is ''news''. I put to main/index.rhtml "<% unless @controller == "news" %> list here news headers <% end %> . This doesn''t work. So, the question is how to get current controller name in template ? Thank You! -- Posted via

Hello Railists, I have a piece of Ruby on Rails code that has a complex SQL query (well, not that complex, but as far as I know beyond the ORM capabilities) and for my taste it has too many strings and harcoded values. I''d like to improve it as much as possible, so my question is open ended, what else can I do to improve it? Some particular issues I have - Is there a way to get a table

Hi. I''m going to start writting an ajax "tabs"" helper, but before starting to reinvent the wheel (and in order to avoid DRO : don''t Repeat Ourselves :-) ) I wish to know if there is any project for this already. Thanks.

Hi there, I thought it''s rather neat to use the javascript compression from http://dojotoolkit.org/docs/compressor_system.html This removes javascript comments and renames variables and seems pretty reliable and effective. For example, I keep the original htmlarea.js file from http://xinha.gogo.co.nz/ in a file htmlarea.js.txt and it compresses from 200K to 100K. With gzip it

If you append an extra percent sign to a URL that gets passed to mongrel, it will return a Bad Request error. Kind of odd that "http://localhost/%" causes a "Bad Request" instead of a "Not Found" error. Here is the error from the mongrel log: HTTP parse error, malformed request (127.0.0.1): #<Mongrel::HttpParserError: Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails.>

Using Rails to generate a sortable list, I get the draggable/sortable page elements, but Ajax never fires back the post-sorted list. (I''ve checked with IE & Firefox, the "save this order to the DB" controller hasn''t been called.) The View: <p>Drag to sort.<span id="sort_info"></span></p> <ul id="sort1">

Hello all, For the last couple of days I was trying to get my Apache/mod_proxy/mongrel setup to limit the size of the request body. The setup is as follows: 1.) Apache acts as a reverse proxy by facilitating mod_rewrite and mod_proxy 2.) Requests for non-static files are passed on to a mongrel_cluster 3.) We use mongrel for our Ruby on Rails application Note that due to some restrictions we are

Can you have a Javascript function with a param that''s defaulted if it isn''t present? function X(a, b = false, c = ''dog'') { } X(5) calls X with a=5, b=false, c=''dog'' X(4, true) calls X with a=4, b=true, c=''dog'' X(3, true, ''cat'') calls X with a=3, b=true, c=''cat'' ? -- Posted via

Hi -- (First time posting to the list...) I''m trying out Rails on my Mac (OS X Panther, 1.6 G5). It seems... kinda slow? I''ve even run it with FastCGI and the response time is still painfully slow. Is this just me? Is mod_ruby any better than FastCGI? Or is it rails? Thanks in advance! -- joshua

Hi all -- I collect two pieces of data from users, then perform a calculation on this data. Where should I put this calculator this method? Helpers seem view-oriented, and the result here is not being sent to the user. Anyway, I tried putting the method in a helper and got a "no method" error. At the moment, I have it in another Model, but this seems really lame to me, so I

I have two tables, applicants, and skills where each applicant "has_many" skills, and each skill "belongs_to" an applicant. When I have a reference to an applicant and a (skill) id for one of their skills, I thought to update their skills by using @applicant.skills.find(id_of_skill).description = ''new description'' # even adding
