similar to: RESTful web service design question

Hi folks, I have a question regarding validates_uniqueness_of, and similar before-filter-like events attempting to guarantee some DB state prior to modification. >From my reading of ActiveRecord, validate_uniqueness_of appears to cause a SELECT on the underlying table attempting to ensure that a record with ID(s) specified in the validates_uniqueness_of statement is not already present, prior

I''ve just about finished up work on a plugin similar to acts_as_taggable, but for comments instead which would allow you to attach comments (possibly even a threaded discussion if conbined with acts_as_tree) to any object. Is there anyone that would be interested in it? I don''t want to go throug the trouble of finding some way to distribute it unless I know that there is a

TeamMembers project_id user_id role What I would like to do is have different roles so I can have in the project model has_many :core_members, :through => :team_members, :source => :user but I would like to limit this to only those with the "core" role in the team members table for

I''d like to play around a bit with ActiveResource for consuming a web service. Does anyone have sample code they would be willing to share? I''ve googled all around and have come up empty except for simple (non- working) examples given in the RailsConf keynote and some associated blog entries.

I''ve been looking into RESTful approaches lately. Everything I know my dog, Lelu, taught me. REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is an architectural technique for networked applications first described by Roy Fielding in his dissertation at UC Irvine-- excellent work, especially considering the tempting proximity of Newport Beach.

Hi guys, I have the strangest thing happening. The funny part is its doing exactly what I want to do, I just don''t understand how.

from the rails recipes i have a has_many through "working". I can list a user and what magazines he subscribes to. but I can''t seem to figure out how to get the other attributes from subscriptions. (like last_renewed_on) reader_controller.rb def list_reader @readers = Reader.find(1) end ---------- list_readers.rhtml <dl> <dt><%= readers.name %> </dt>

For a while, I''ve been getting that HMT is replacing HABTM. It appears that HMT can do all of what HABTM can do and more. The question is: Should I stop using HABTM?

Is there a reason I can''t find any information on using the onsubmit attribute with form_for?

I''m just getting back to looking at backgroundrb after a long hiatus since June. I''m looking at creating some workers but I''m a bit stuck as to how I should write tests for them. What''s the recommended approach for unit testing of workers? The project will ultimately be used by a Rails app but I''m comfortable developing the worker code as a

If anyone is looking for a topic, please consider this. I''ve been trying to wrap my brain around the TDD process, but its way of thinking is

Hi, I just ran into a bizarre problem when I put my site into production. I have a resource (call it xxx), then I created with the generate script. I then set up page caching on the show action. But now in the production environment, trying to call the edit action results in the show page being retreived from the cache. I''m assuming this has to do with the similarity of the URL
