i was wondering if anyone can help me form a very simple "if" statment in the controller... i did a usual scaffold for table ''pages'', and everything is working out well, i did the main site ''backbone'' and all, and everythings good....the thing is, now i need to make sure that the site-admin does not have the possiblity to destroy page 1 or page 2.

Is there any reason why db:setup and db:reset don''t show any more on "rake -T db"? I guess any rake task that is defined only as a group of other tasks (without any ruby blocks attached) presents this problem. Also let me write this as a remember note to myself for when I have some time: the Rails Guides on Migrations should be updated to include instructions about db:load

Running "rake assets:clobber assets:precompile" will generate files like "application-xxx.css" with incorrect urls after upgrading to Rails 4. For example url(/fields/xxx.png) when it should be url(/assets/fields/xxx.png). For some unknown reason it worked once in development mode, but after running rake assets:clobber I can''t get it to work again... Any ideas

Hi all, In response to Rodrigo Rosas''s message about mb_chars.upcase not giving the expected result on 1.9, I''ve done some work in a fork to make String#mb_chars always return an instance of a proxy class, both with Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9. The end result of the patch is (hopefully) to make Rails'' multibyte functionality behave the same way in 1.8.7 and 1.9.x.

In 2fe70c1 (last year), rails changed from a static list of assets.paths to automatically register any path under assets/*. (This was not reflected in Rails Guides so I pushed an update to docrails.) However, in my opinion, these automatic asset paths create confusion. The result is that the first-level directories under `(app|lib|vendor)/assets` get swallowed and if I put assets into a

Hi Folks, There is much discussion where I work at present regarding migrations, and the ''correct'' usage or not of them. TL;DR Should migrations be used just to modify schema, and other ''deploy'' tasks done other ways? If yes, how to ensure no repeat runs of such tasks (seeds, jobs etc) Background Once you''re live there are often additional things

Hello to all, I am entirely new to Ruby and also to Ruby on Rails. As far as I understand, Rails builds its model according to the a specified table structuree in in the database. However, most of my applications, are for the most part (except some backend CRUD stuff) not database centric. They do a lot of calculation for the user. So, how can I create a model, when no database is needed,

This is what I have inside a rake task. In this rake task I need to call another rake task called email:send_messages. However I need to pass the RAILS_ENV as ''staging''.

ZOMG HAPPY TUESDAY (UTC-7)!!! <3<3<3<3<3 I am happy to announce that the first release candidate for Rails 3.0.6 has been pushed to rubygems.org. ## Release Candidate: What does it mean? The release candidate is very similar to what we will actually release for version 3.0.6. The reason that we release an RC is so that the community can have a chance to postpone or veto commits

Is there any way to prevent Rails 3 from using an ORM? In Rails 2, it used to have a description in environments.rb explaining how to do that. In Rails 3, is there any way to tell it to not use any database? I was trying to make some benchmarks from situations that don''t require a database...

In the app helper I define this method: def alternate(items,alt=false items.map{|i| i.class}.each { |k| k.class_eval {attr_accessor :alt}} items.each { |i| i.alt, alt = alt, !alt } end When I call the partial I wrap the collection with this method:
