Hi I''m struggling to find a neat way to spec this. The Sequel ORM doesn''t support automatically destroying dependent models.

My application needs to know if a user is an administrator, for security and aesthetic reasons. At the moment, I store true/false in the session by doing the following at login: session[:user_is_admin] = authenticated_user.is_admin? Is this OK to do? Or should I really be doing the following every time: User.find(session[:user_id]).is_admin? (user_id is always in the session too) Is there

According to the documentation, if I return false in a model''s before_destroy method then it should cancel the action. Although I know it is reaching and running this code, it deletes the object despite the "return false". I''m sure this were a bug it would have been noticed by now so I must be missing something but I cannot imagine what. Even in the simplest

I have a few forms that adds information to a database, and one of the fields is "user_id" This field relates the stored information (in this case a "route") with the user who entered it. I have a few questions. First, is the controller the best place to set the user_id? Right now I am using, @route = Route.new @route.user_id = session[:user].id @route.save Should this

Hi, Just wondering when one would use "include" over "extend"? Both seem to bring in methods to the class no?

Can I set an application wide instance variable that is available for all actions...and their views? eg. class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base @current_user = User.find(session[:user_id]) end and everywhere I can call @current_user.id and I can get that object? Even down in the views? I could not get this to work... Thanks in advance, Jeff -------------- next part

Hey, I''m designing an app which displays the events near a user in RoR.

Could someone please explain why this works: current_user.accounts.sum(:balance) But not this: current_user.accounts.find_all_by_active(true).sum(:balance) For the latter Rails tells me sum is an undefined method. It seems like I lose the ActiveRecord methods when I call ''find''? This (simpler) does not work either: current_user.accounts.find_all.sum(:balance) Thanks! --

Hi, I have been reading the documentation and examples on the rspec site. There are two "patterns" from Rails that I am not clear how to implement that are kind of related, and so I am not sure how to start. Does anyone have any examples of how to write rspecs for these? 1/ Nested resources. 2/ Resources that are specific to the current_user. In other words, I only want to
