similar to: Building a conditions clause (for find) of multiple optional params?

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 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

I started with Ruby on Rails in the 0.13.x period, so I''m sure I missed out on a lot of history. There''s probably some good explanation for something I''ve been wondering about, but I haven''t seen it written down anywhere. Maybe someone can clue me in. I''ve always felt that one of the uglier APIs was the ActiveRecord::find() method. I call

Ruby Forum Search did not work, and I did not find any postings about http://laszlo-plugin.rubyforge.org/. OpenLaszlo is a framework handling the GUI part, or the V in MVC. See http://www.laszlosystems.com/lps/laszlo-in-ten-minutes/ for info about Laszlo itself. My question is, does anybody have experience with this framework, especially combined with Rails? Or, could I get some of the best

I''ve read the Rails Envy AAF tutorial at http://railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial and its given me some really good ideas. My problem lies in having AAF search the target Model''s child tables. I have no problem at all doing something like: acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :update_collection, :member_name] def member_name return

Hi everyone Is there a way that I can get the find(:all) method to return in a specified order, without including the :order argument every time? Guess I just don''t like typing...

Is there an easy way to deal with nil properties in templates? All I''m aware of are these methods, and it''s quite tedious and surely violates DRY. <%= @member.name unless @member.name.nil? %> <%= @member.name.to_is %> <%= "#{@member.name}" %> csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello, I need to put an AJAX, form such that it is inside a table, and spans across few rows. But, what I am noticing is that, while submitting the form, the data in the fields is not submitted. If I move the form outside the table or inside a cell, things work OK, but not when the form is inside the table and spans few rows. This problem is only with AJAX forms, regular forms work perfect. I

Hi, I have a small blog application, and I would like to shorten its routes.

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
