Hi, I would like my model instance to produce it''s own list of options for a form select. This is from a product model that has_many variations def alts_for_select(current_id) the_map = variations.map{|v| [v.name, v.id]} options_for_select(the_map, current_id) end the model cannot see the options_for_select method I tried to use

Hey guys and gals, I have the following object that has acts_as_versioned: class Note < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_versioned belongs_to :user end The schema for my notes table is as follows: create_table :notes, :force => true do |t| t.column :id, :integer t.column :noteshare_id, :integer t.column :user_id, :integer t.column :title, :string

I have some legacy tables that I used set_table_name on, I''m attempting to write a method that will get key value from a sequence table and then update it and return a value. I''m hoping to put this in the base ActiveRecord method so I would like to reference the table name with self.table_name or something... class Contacts < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name

Hi, I have several hundred pages of text, all carefully marked up with textile, which I use redcloth to convert to html for display. Now I find I need all these pages to alternatively output plain text - ie. A-Za-z0-9 and simple punctuation only. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? My only thought is to let redcloth do its stuff, and then strip out the html tags - but it feels wrong.

Camping apps are supposed to be little independent apps, often contained in a single file, which create the database tables and manage them without hassle. These days it''s common to see in a Camping app: module Tepee::Models def self.schema(&block) @@schema = block if block_given? @@schema end end Tepee::Models.schema do create_table :tepee_pages,

It''s nothing revolutionary. Just a plugin which lets you forget about the whole Textile to HTML render process. Once you tell your model which fields should acts_as_textiled (and as long as you''re using form_for for your text entry) it Just Works. No DB changes or whatnot. Here''s the skivvy: http://errtheblog.com/post/14 Tips and tricks in that post and README.

hey there, i have a simple model called key_words.rb the purpose of this is to hold system config data. it also holds the parameters that our system uses to judge the condition of the stuff we monitor. anyway, one of the methods is this def self.get_in_wet_list(status) wet_list = find(:first, :conditions => "name = ''wet_list'' ")

Hi, I just had a try using the xeno-unstable. When I used the xc_dom_create.py to create a new domain I got the followings: ============================================== Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xc_dom_create.py", line 332, in ? (current_id, current_port) = make_domain() File "/usr/bin/xc_dom_create.py", line 238, in make_domain

Campers. Dr. Nic. The new migrations in Camping''s trunk are very nice. They also open the door (just an inch) to using Dr. Nic''s Magic Models with Camping. Here''s my stab at ''er: http://require.errtheblog.com/camping/blog.rb Run that against Camping trunk. Don''t forget to `sudo gem install dr_nic_magic_models`. The hackery is in

Hey guys. I''ve been playing with RedirectHandler and it''s pretty neat, but I question its usefulness. At work we do the trendy "/javascripts/spy.1152734636.js"-style asset includes rather than the default Rails style of "/javascripts/spy.js? 1152734636". This is no problem with mod_rewrite as we run the basic Apache => Pen => Mongrel setup.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to the best way to provide access to the same data source for the (possible) creation of multiple web sites. I figure my options are: - Direct database access over tcp - ActionWebService - Wait for ActionResource I''ve done up some work with ActionWebService already, but I don''t think it''s going to work because it

I first downloaded Vorbis about a month ago, around the time Rok Papez posted comparisons of Ogg and Lame [*]. Here's my much rougher test on a single file.

HI, Just an update on this samba-tool (V4.17.4) ..rename functionality, against a 2008SP2 level AD. (also in case anyone else is mad enough to want to attempt this.) The rename tool, seems to do a fairly good job, However there are a couple of other fields that could do with being flushed/fixed during the rename. This one which breaks MS tools(with continuous looping & modal

I''m digging into rails source code. But I''ve got a problem in undestading actionrecord::base source code which is connection_specification.rb.

Hello Everyone, I was wondering what people on this list were using to generate captchas within forms on sites they are developing? I know there is a ruby gem named captcha, but I have seen some others floating around as well. Thanks, Andrew -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi All, I''m stuck yet again. I have an action on a controller that produces a Ziya graph, which I call using the gen_chart() helper. However, I can''t seem to pass more than one parameter through to the action. <%= gen_chart( "overview_graph", url_for( :controller => ''graph'', :action => ''graph'', :graph_id =>

I am running a Samba domain controller with LDAP integration. I have at least some workstations which do not seem to be syncing the time with the DC at all. My first instinct is to simply set the time with a logon script, but of course that runs as the user, whom does not have permission to set the system time. I would prefer to get it working right, to where the system syncs its time with the
