Make your models feel like they are in high school again. This plugin retrieves the most frequently occurring values for each column. It adds methods of the form most_popular_[pluralized_column_name]. Check out <http://shanesbrain.net/articles/2006/08/04/acts-as-most-popular-rails-plugin> for sample usage. The plugin is mostly just a group_by in disguise. It is probably overkill if you

Hello, I posted this on the rails talk group but received no response. Perhaps someone on this list could weigh in on whether this is expected/desired behavior or a bug that I should file and develop failing tests for (I doubt I have the active record method_missing fu to actually patch it). Test Scenario: I would like to find or initialize a new user and base the find on the users email

Rails Stats is a simplified graphical version of the Rake ''stats'' task. It generates a graph showing your lines of code versus lines of test code, and two other graphs showing the composition of your project and tests. The plugin requires Gruff Graphs. <http://shanesbrain.net/articles/2006/07/18/rails-stats-plugin-or-show-me-those-pretty-graphs> If not useful, I hope

Hello all, I just ran into something that I think is a bug, and I would like to confirm with the core team whether this is expected/desired behavior or if this is a bug that I should file and develop failing tests for (I doubt I have the active record method_missing fu to actually patch it). Test Scenario: I would like to find or initialize a new user and base the find on the users email

Hi there, I have a question regarding updating elements of a two different divs with one click. I have two lists. One list holds items that are entered into a contest, and the other list holds items that aren''t currently in the contest. One item can only be in one list at a time. Each list has a partial that renders the items with corresponding actions. The items in the current contest

I have the following paginator setup: @merch_pages, @merch = paginate :merch_item, :per_page => 15, :select => ''DISTINCT mi.id, mi.merch_image, mi.created_at, mi.artist_id, mi.item_description, art.sort_name'', :join => ''as mi JOIN merch_formats mf ON mi.id = mf.merch_item_id JOIN artists art ON mi.artist_id = art.id'', :order =>

Hello there. I am following a tutorial with rails 2.1 and I have come across a problem where <%= f.label :artist_id %><br /> <%= f.select_tag(:artist_id, options_for_select([[''choose one'', '''']] + @artists.collect {|art| [art.name, art.id]}, @album.artist_id)) %> (Old artist info:<%= @album.artist_old%>) gives undefined method

I want to be able to call an action after performing an edit using the in-place editor macro. I want to update multiple divs so I was thinking about using an RJS template. However, I can''t figure out how to trigger another action after the method created by in_place_edit_for runs. Is there is an option on Ajax.InPlaceEditor where I can inject some Element.update calls? Thanks, Shane

Hey everyone. I have a quick question. Checking out facebooker as a plugin is currently really slow due to the example rails application. Would anyone object if I moved that out of the main plugin directory? Mike -- Mike Mangino http://www.elevatedrails.com
