See the blog post at http://blog.lonestarsoftware.net/2007/03/09/active_resources-010-released/ Reading through the rails blogosphere last week, I read a post (which I can not find again) that suggested a completely different approach to AJAX use in rails apps. The idea was to create a Javascript proxy to the ActiveRecord models and allow AR operations to be called from the client. I see this

Hello everyone, I''m having trouble figuring out which approach is better. I have the following tables: products, orders and line_items. Every time an Order is placed, the quantity field in the products table has to be updated for each LineItem in the Order. One option is to use DB triggers which is not as portable as using before_create in the Order model. But with before_create I cannot

Hi, I have a very sime app. I need to create as many records in the db as the selected checkboxes (named :isselected) in the view. Here is the code snippet from the controller: isselectedhash = params[:isselected] for mod in isselectedhash.keys @issue = Issue.new(params[:issue]) @issue.state = ''NEW'' @issue.mod_id = isselectedhash[mod] # this gets

I have a problem displaying images when using attachment_fu. When I try to display the image, only about 40k appears in the browser, and with some images even that much is not visible (just garbage when I view source). I can display images smaller than 40k correctly. I''m storing the images in the database (mysql) and haven''t tried storing in the file system to see if that works

Has anyone hacked Builder::XmlMarkup to dasherize underscore tags by default? I know I can use tag!, but I''d like to find a way for it to translate underscores to dashes automatically. In other words: xml.department_manager do "fred end #=> <department-manager>fred</department-manager> I tried hacking Builder::XmlBase.method_missing but got myself all twisted up!

Hi, I''m using Rails 2.1.2. and I wanted to switch ActiveResource format to JSON and thought that it will work smoothly, but unfortunately it wasn''t the case. XML and JSON formats generate different objects: XML version #<User:0xb7658440 @prefix_options={}, @attributes={"created_at"=>Mon Nov 28 11...}> JSON version #<User:0xb746af5c @prefix_options={},

We have a product where our customer is "allowed" to make minor changes to the .rhtml views. Obviously, this can be an issue when updating the software, as changes need to be merged in. Also, sometimes the customer wants to back out there change but no longer has the original file. SOOO.... I''d like to tell them - if you want to change a .rhtml file - just copy it to

Hi All! This is not a problem in general but i''ve just missed the point. If my application has a global state, which i have to use both throughout ActionController and ActiveView, then, where to place that state? E.g. if I do this: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base protected def authenticated? !user.nil? end end then I can''t use that from any

Hi all, I would first like to introduce myself to the Ruby on Rails (RoR) community and to say that I hope to begin to build some relationships with other RoR developers. I''m a long time Java programmer (5+ years). Java was my first experience with Object Oriented Programming (OOP). Before Java I developed using many other languages including C, Pascal, Fortran, BASIC, Visual Basic,

if I have the following in my routes.rb: map.resources :product_categories it provides urls such as: /product_categories /product_categories/1 /product_categories/1;edit etc. and uses the ProductCategories controller. how can I keep the same controller (and model) but set up the resources so that I can have any abitrary url point to the existing controller, much like specifying the controller

Hi, I''m trying to serve the iPhone a video file from my controller using send_file. However, it appears as thought the iPhone requires byte- range request support and rails doesn''t seem to support this. If I give the iPhone a url that points to an actual file (i.e. it''s served by my webserver nginx, instead of rails) it downloads and plays it fine. Here is the proof

I have: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments do def published find( :all, :conditions => {:published => true} ) end end end When in my controller I do Post.find(:first).comments.published.paginate :page => params[:page] I get an error undefined method `paginate'' for []:Array Is will_paginate supposed to

So, this is probably a usage error... but I hope somebody knows how to make this work. I''m trying to use a RESTful ActiveResource client and print the attribute validation errors for model attributes during an update operation. I''ve been following one of the threads, and am returning a response from the server as follows: format.xml { render :xml => m.to_xml, :status =>

I am trying the Restful-Authentication (latest version, downloaded today) and upon running the generator, doing the migration, prepping the test system and putting the resources in routes.rb I get a Rspec test failure: ''SessionsController logins and redirects'' FAILED expected not nil, got nil routes.rb has: map.resources :users map.resources :sessions nothing else was

All, I''ve upgraded to 2.0.2, and I can''t get my login screen (the first POST request in the application) to work. When I post this form, I see the "InvalidAuthenticityToken" error. I have protect_from_forgery :secret => ''my_secret'' set in application.rb and I am using an active_record session store based on this line in environment.rb:

I''m doing a request from a Rails app to another Rails app with ActiveResource. When the format on ActiveResource is XML: Content.find(:all)[0,2].map(&:attributes) => [ {"updated_at"=>Mon Apr 27 15:04:32 UTC 2009, "url"=>"www.google.com", "id"=>1, "created_at"=>Mon Apr 27 15:04:32 UTC 2009},

I am creating a rails app that is a gui wraping a restful web service that uses a websso for authentication. This websso sets a series of headers that I need to pass from the request to the ActiveResource.find methods. As this is stuff like username etc it is going to be different for each request. I can find examples on how to set headers for all requests not just one. Does anyone know of a way

I can sent my own action to a users_controller stating in routes.rb map.resources :users, :member => { :network => get } I defined in my users_controller the network action.... so I can have an url like "http://localhost:3000/users/168.xml;network" now I would like to have another action network_plus which is a little bit different fron the network.. sure, I can state another

Hi, Attached are links to two patches I submitted via the RoR Trac system a week or so ago: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8305 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8308 I refrained from creating a new Trac ticket for ARes, which will be affected if both of these patches are accepted by Core. There are a couple of workarounds for this issue, but it would be nice for AR, AS and ARes to output

I''m implementing a Rails front end to a Windows system by using RESTful web services to send data back and forth. Luckyly all the business objects in the Windows system know how to serialize themselves into XML so it''s not too complicated. But when I looked at the XML that gets sent back to the service in a POST when you do a myresource.save, all the fields that had underscores
