When run from the console, the following code works, when run through the WEBrick server I get a "You have a nil object where you didn''t expect it!" class Competition < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comp_dates, :order=>:position def initial_date comp_dates.first end def display_dates i_d = initial_date if i_d.nil? return "unknown"

I have wrote this: EventDate.find(:all, :include => [:container,{:event => [:photo,:event_type_names]},{:place=>:location}], :joins =>" RIGHT JOIN (SELECT event_dates.id,date_add(event_dates.date, INTERVAL i DAY ) AS date FROM (select 0 as i union all select 0 union all select 1 union all select 2) as integers CROSS JOIN event_dates

This may be a bonehead question, but when I have some error in a view I''m testing, the server spits out a generic page: "Application error Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html" This is pretty unhelpful when I''m debugging. Is there an error log for Rails overall

Subject says it all: rake doesn''t know about db:fixtures:dump. When I try, I get this: Don''t know how to build task ''db:fixtures:dump'' I thought this was a standard feature that ships with rake- any idea why it''s missing, and how I can reinstall it? Here''s the environment: Ruby version 1.8.4 (powerpc-darwin8.6.0) RubyGems

I''m using a db to log two types of events, link events and tag events. At first I had two tables, link_events & tag_events, but this seemed not very DRY because the only column that was different between them was link_id and tag_id respectively. So I made these tables: events: id int user_id int objtype_id int (holds ''1'' or ''2'' depending

Hi Using ruby 1.8, rails 1.0, mysql 4.1.11 in database.yml: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8 database: myproject_development username: user password: password socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock but when I start the error I get: Can''t initialize character set utf8 (path: /usr/share/libmysqlclient/charsets/) Can anyone tell me what file it''s looking for, and how I

This error seems pretty bizarre. I''m using ActionMailer and am using a template in app/views/welcome_mailer/join.rhtml which has this line: <%= link_to :controller => ''group'', :action => ''join'', :group => @group.id, :ic => @code.code %> The error is: undefined method `url_for'' for #<WelcomeMailer: 0x2aaaad4fb470>

Seems the only issues I ever have with Rails are these bizarre fiddly little things that make no sense. Can''t for the life of me understand why I''m getting undefined method on form_for in a view? And it''s actually part of the acts_as_authenticated plugin that''s doing it. But how can it not know about form_for? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have a resource map like this: map.resources :users do |user| user.resource :sreg10record end So a User is supposed to have (at most) one Sreg10record. The problem is in the views. I tried following this tutorial: http://www.akitaonrails.com/2007/12/12/rolling-with-rails-2-0-the-first-full-tutorial which proposes something like: <% form_for( [@user, @sreg10record] ) do |f|

I''m getting an error in the partial when i try <% form_for :name do |form| %> <%= render_partial "#{@current_stage}" %> <% end %> So I assume that form_for does not have scope in the partial? If that is the case what are my solutions... Do I have to stick a <% form_for in every partial, or do i just change all my inputs back to text_field

I fully suspect that I''m missing the point here somewhere so I promise I won''t be offended if you tell me I''m being daft. My application rents equipment ... not equipments. So I have the following: map.resources :equipment, :singular => :equipment_instance class Equipment < ActiveRecord::Base class EquipmentController < ApplicationController The

how can i give name attributes for form_for(), so it will give an output like <form name="f">. it is because that i need to access the form name for javascript manipulation. as far as i know, name can only used in form_tag(), but i currently have more than 50 forms that built using form_for(). the structure is like this: <% form_for symbol, item, :url => { :action

In a form_for context, is there a way to access objects that are related to the primary object with a belongs_to? I think an example will serve best: class User < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person attr_accessor :username end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :user attr_accessor :first_name end <% form_for :user do |form| %> <%= form.text_field

Hi, I am just ran into the problem that I cannot access helper methods from within a form_for scope. I do have something like the following: <% form_for :potential_buyer, @potential_buyer, :url => { :action => "register" } do |f| %> <%= render(:partial => ''register_form'', :locals => { :f => f } ) %> <% end %> ----- I cannot

Hi there! Im trying to use rjs templates to add form fields to an existing form. So for example a user could fill out a form and optionally hit a link_to_remote and get another set of identical fields to fill before sending. This would mean he/she could add ex. more than one record in the same form. The original form was rendered with form_for and using a partial: <% form_for :example,

Hi, How can I add a class to a form generated thus: <% form_for :applicant, :url=> {:action => "index"} do |f| %> I tried: <% form_for :applicant, :url=> {:action => "index"}, :class => ''test'' do |f| %> but this didn''t work. Thanks for your help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there a reason I can''t find any information on using the onsubmit attribute with form_for? I''d hate to *gasp* hardcode the form tag in. chad --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Let''s say I have: map.resources :teams do |team| team.resources :squads, :shallow => true end When I want to generate a form_for a squad, I need both the team and squad for new/create, but only the squad for edit. This means I need: edit: form_for(squad) new: form_for([team, squad]) This seems not very dry. Is there a more idiomatic way of doing this? Right now,

I have 2 controllers foo, bar and I''m using searchlogic gem to search products inside both controllers. All works great but I want to implement now custom form_for from foo view to search products for bar controllers, how to do this ?

Hello, I am trying to install my login and search forms as default parts of the layout. This is the code I am using: <% form_for :user, :url => {:action => ''authenticate''} do |f| %> <p>Username:<br /><%= f.text_field :username, :size => 30 %></p> <p>Password:<br /><%= f.password_field :password, :size => 30
