similar to: Possible to simplify these routes?

I want to be able to find items according to various params - category_id, member_id, type_id, rating, etc. What I have now is something like: if(@params[''category_id'']) @items=Item.find(:all, :conditions=>["category_id=?", @params[''category_id'']) elsif(@params[''category_id''] and @params[''member_id''])

Is it possible to specify a route like this: /items(/category/:category_id)(/order/:order)(/page/:page) and have any of the parts in parentheses be optional? I know I can make :category_id and the other vars optional, but is it possible with the entire "/category/:category_id" part? thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

Is there some way to have these two sets of URLs use totally different controllers and templates? categories/list categories/show/1 admin/categories/list admin/categories/edit/1 admin/categories/destroy/1 admin/categories/update/1 Besides, of course, using different controller names ;). The first URL is publicly accessible, while the second contains admin functions. Also, with the second,

With this route: map.connect ''items/:subject/:id'', :controller=>''items'', :action=>''show_redirect'', :requirements => {:subject => /.+/, :id => /\d+/} Is it possible to have it match these URLs: items/biology/123 items/chemistry/234 items/math/456 But not these: items/new items/list ... The problem is that :requirements only

Is there a quick and easy way to paginate something like @member.items (Member with has_many :items)? Right now I do in the controller: @item_pages, @member_items = paginate :item, :conditions=>["member_id=?", @member.id], :per_page=>25, :order=>''datetime desc'' It''d be more DRY if this was possible: @item_pages, @member_items = paginate

Has anybody figured out a way to change the anchor size in pagination_links? I''d like links like: 1 2 3 ... 7 8 9 10 11 ... 15 16 17 Thanks! csn -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Or does anybody prefer fastcgi/fcgi? I''m using webrick for development, but plan on using scgi when I switch to production (because it appears to be an update to fastcgi, and I couldn''t get fastcgi working anyhow). thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

I''m getting this error in Rails: undefined method `include'' for #<MenusController:0x408efd1c> The offending code is: require "rexml/document" include REXML I see there may be a problem with GCC 4 on OSX, but I''m using Redhat with GCC 3.2. http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/articles/2005/12/22/is-gcc-4-0-incompatible-with-ruby-on-os-x-and-elsewhere

I want to expire caches if a certain field of an item changes. How can I compare the item field''s old value to its new value (in the create, or after_save, etc. method)? thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors'' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Hi All, Just about to set up RoR on our server and was wondering what the ideal setup for RoR is these days? Apache 1? Apache 2? fCgi? Any guidance would be helpful! Thanks, -Adam

In my item upload view I have: <%= file_field ''item'', ''file'' %> and in my Item model: def file @file #@file.original_filename # <- also tried this end def file=(file) @file=file end And if the upload bails because of errors (and renders the same page), all other fields (text_field, text_area, etc.) retain their inputted values, but the file

This is probably more a Ruby question, but somebody here probably knows ;). Is there some handy Ruby or Rails library that can get data from other sites (like Amazon and Flickr) via REST, then return it in nice arrays, hashes, objects, etc.? I''ve searched quite a bit and haven''t been able to really find anything. There is a ruby-amazon library, but it''s for an older

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

>From the docs: "Note that any fields in the join table will override matching field names in the two joined tables. As a consequence, having an "id" field in the join table usually has the undesirable result of clobbering the "id" fields in either of the other two tables." I do have an ID field in the join table, and as a result it''s clobbering the ID

Is it possible to write map.connect rules in route.rb that externally redirect (HTTP 302) to other actions? thanks csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

I''ve looked through the docs and the wiki and can''t figure out how to go about generating select options and the update function for an item that has a HABTM relationship. I have a ''parks'' table and the park model has a HABTM to the ''states'' table. On the park edit page, I''d like a multiple select box to appear with all states show,

I have a feeds controller which generates RSS and Atom pages. I put ''caches_page :show'' in it. The problem is that the pages are saved with an html extension. As a result, browsers display the cached feeds as HTML rather than XML, and feed validators complain. There''s an option to set ''Base.page_cache_extension'' globally, but I don''t want

Hi, I have a small blog application, and I would like to shorten its routes. Here they are: Blog::Application.routes.draw do resources :categories do resources :articles do resources :comments end end A rake routes command produce the following lines: GET /categories/:category_id/articles/:article_id/comments(.:format)
