Hey everyone, I have a philosophical question here. Say I have a website that uses two models for accounts: Person and Company. Normally I would just have /accounts/new for user signup. However, the RESTful way to do it is to have /people and /companies. Unfortunately, this doesn''t account for a situation where you''d have a one-page signup form. I wouldn''t want

I am having a heck of a time understanding the new rest craze in rails. what I think I understand so far: 1 rest is about the way we use http to access information on the internet. 2 http was created with nouns and verbs in mind, but the only verbs that are supported in browsers and server software today are ''post'' and ''get''. Other useful verbs include put

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. As Lelu described it to me, REST strives

I started my app before migrations were a best practice and have been using SQL scripts. Now I''m looking at potentially having to move from using MySQL to postgreSQL to use a particular hosting provider. I understand migrations are the way to go to make this ''easy'' but it also looks like the use of migrations introduces extra work in other areas. I''d really

Does someone have an actual example of this? I saw DHH''s slides where he said that you could have your app automatically respond with HTML, XML, atom, whatever. So far I''ve found tons of discussion on REST and CRUD in Rails, but I haven''t seen anything that actually shows me what it all is. There''s simply_restful, which apparently makes things easier...I

To the aide of anyone whose had to create new models, migrations and unit tests for the common many-to-many relationship, using "has_many :through" (that''s almost everyone). I''ve created a new generator that generates two model classes, plus a many-to-many relationship class, e.g. User, Group, plus the Membership model between them. It also generates the migrations

I gotta be quick, sos if it seems rushed. Latest word from DHH is that the REST conttrollers should only have 4 methods : Create, Update, New, Delete If you don''t know about DHH''s latest thing then leave now, or go read about it on his blog. Does this mean i can''t have private methods in my controller?? I have a method that create and new share. Thanks Chris

Question, and I''ll preface it by asking if this is the right list to be posting questions regarding anything past Rails 1.1.6 , (i.e. edgerails) ? In the latest revision of AWDWR there is a sample REST based app. During the creation of the controller and actions, there is a foot note that says: "7. By the time you''re reading this, there may well be support build into Rails

In DHH''s keynote, he alluded to doing logins with REST. Has anyone implemented this, and if so, would you mind elaborating on how you did it please? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have the following models class Department < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :products end class Product < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :department acts_as_list :scope => :department_id'' end When I look at a list of products for a particular department I have up and down buttons to re-order the products. Currently my controller is something like this class

Views <code> <% form_for :user, @user, :url => { :action => "update" }, :method => :put do |f| %> ... <% end %> </code> Outputs <code> <form action="/users/1" method="post"> ... </code> It sends post instead of put. I don''t see any hackish hidden put stuff in the form either. -- Posted via

Hello! I just read DHH''s presentation pdf. In his examples, he wrote PeopleController instead of PersonController. I''ve been using singular words in controller''s name. Which is more common? Thanks. Sam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ll use the example on the Rails blog. map.resources :posts do |posts| posts.resources :comments, :trackbacks end Now comments are at /posts/:post_id/comments. Okay but what if I want to list all the comments for all the posts. It should be at /comments, but that isn''t map that way. Can I map comments twice? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi List, I''m trying to get my grip on the restful methods that are now part of edge rails. Making the first steps was impressive as well as easy because there are already great resources on the blogs of early adopters: http://www.ryandaigle.com/articles/2006/08/01/whats-new-in-edge-rails-simply-restful-support-and-how-to-use-itand

I have 6 boxes with a client config (see below) across 6 boxes. I am using distribute across 3 replicate pairs. Since I am running xen I need to disable-direct-io and that slows things down quite a bit. My thought was to move the replicate / distribute to the backend server config so that self heal can happen on faster backend rather then frontend client with disable-direct-io. Does this

Can''t figure out how duplicate routes are differentiated by rails ... Read routing from inside out and API as well as a few tutorials but still don''t get it!!! For example... routes.rb resources :minisections do resources :questions end rake routes: minisection_question GET /minisections/:minisection_id/questions/:id(.:format) questions#show

Where in the application would you suggest I set default values that are read for every action and in some cases changed and somecases not. Basically on some pages I am getting the <title> from the DB and if not I want to put a default one up. Any suggestions?

Detlef contributed verbs vbrun3 and vbrun4, thanks! And I added vbrun5 and vbrun6 as the preferred synonym for the existing verbs vbvm5 and vbrun60. That should be easier. As always, winetricks is at http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks and its source repository is at http://winezeug.googlecode.com

Is anyone using RSpec with RESTful rails apps? In my rails controllers I check request.respond_to? and render different views accordingly. I noticed that the get method in the rails plugin doesn''t accept headers: controller_mixin.rb line 92 def get(action, parameters = nil) @request.env[''REQUEST_METHOD''] = ''GET'' process action,
