Just wondering how to best integrate with pagination and still stick to MVC... Say I have a Post model that has a published attribute. I want to show all the recent published posts on a page. My first instinct is to create a method in the Post model called recent that does the find with proper conditions and order, but the problem I have is how do I use that with pagination (which definitely

Hi, I am a newby in rails...and i have read that scruffy is a great tool to create/display images.

Hi all, A newbie with Ruby on Rails - and programming in general - I''m working on a few Flash and PHP projects as well. Partly to make my work more efficient, partly to gain a better understanding of system architecture / design patterns, I''ve been trying to use the MVC pattern in database-backed Flash / Actionscript development as well. I think / hope that I''m

Should I create a separate controller for each model or should I use 1 controller for all models? Having 1 "admin" controller for all backend stuff seems logic to me, but when I scaffold it rather makes 1 controller per model. I''m fairly new to the MVC pattern, so what''s the prefered way of doing it? I''m also wondering if the API is up to date? When

All, Is it possible for a view to call back to a controller method? If so, what is the syntax? === details I have a list view that I want to filter out inactive rows based on several table fields being zero, old, etc. It would seem I should create a "filtered" method in the controller (which I have done). Then invoke if from the view like: for row in @rows continue if row.filtered

I have a cronjob that runs "ruby script/runner ''Channel.preload''". Channel is a parent model, Item is the child model (i.e., Channel has_many :items and Item belongs_to :channel). The coupling is minimized, the coherence looks good, but I''m not sure the model is the right place to put this code. Is there a better place to put this code, e.g., a component (I

"The no-framework PHP MVC framework" http://toys.lerdorf.com/index.php?url=archives/38-The-no-framework-PHP-MVC-framework.html Yuck! What spaghetti code. I can''t ever imagine preferring that to Rails. Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to track down why I''m getting close to desired output, but not quite. It looks like the webpage sorta-kinda is grabbing the right data. For instance, there are three Login objects which should be showing and it looks like the show is grabbing three objects, so that fits, to a degree. However, it''s just grabbing the hexadecimal object id, and not

My directory browsing app shows lists of file. If the item is a folder, show a folder icon and link to the action that shows directory contents. If the item is a graphics file, show a thumbnail and link to a larger view. If the item is a non-graphics file, show an appropriate icon and stream the file if the link is clicked. The controller creates an array of arrays of items in the current folder,

All, I have ordered AWDWR and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. In the meantime I still am playing with ROR using radrails. I have a few questions ... I create a table named customers with the following details: Field Type Null Key Default Extra id int(11) NO PRI auto_increment customer_name varchar(50) NO inbound_retention int(11) NO outbound_retention int(11) NO unix_admin_email

is a model similiar to a class? and active record is similiar to how Java classes inherit from Object? View is nothing more than an output of a model with HTML? Controller is basically the Main part of the program? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there any demos articles that you guys have seen that takes a site or a business breif and explains where

I was thinking today, it would be nice if a view could tell a model how to format it''s data for that particular view. Kind of like, the view is bestowing instant, and temporary knowledge on the model for the duration of the views run. It seemed to me that this would be more objecty than say a helper that formats a string format_my_string( my_string ) Instead, in my view. Lets assume I
