Hello Railers (?), I have just re-installed my machine with the lattest Kubuntu, which brings with Rails 1.2.4 instead of 1.2.3. Now my Rail project doesn''t start anymore. At first I''ve got this message: Cannot find gem for Rails ~>1.2.3.0: Install the missing gem with ''gem install -v=1.2.3 rails'', or change environment.rb to define

I''m using the latest trunk of 1.2-ish, and I''m wondering how to do what I want to do. I am using a form_for :builder I wrote, simply called TableFormBuilder after the rails cookbook, and want to be able to present help icons automatically. I want these icons to appear next to form fields I am rendering. For example, I have this method in helpers/table_form_builder.rb: # This

Hello Railists, I have a piece of Ruby on Rails code that has a complex SQL query (well, not that complex, but as far as I know beyond the ORM capabilities) and for my taste it has too many strings and harcoded values. I''d like to improve it as much as possible, so my question is open ended, what else can I do to improve it? Some particular issues I have - Is there a way to get a table

In the API docs I found this: "You can also build forms using a customized FormBuilder class. Subclass FormBuilder and override or define some more helpers, then use your custom builder " I couldn''t find any further documentation on this. Where can I read more about this formbuilder class? For starters, where would I define a subclass of this class? TIA, Jeroen --

Hello, I''m a beginner, so any hints are appreciated; I''m still trying to find my way around Rails code. For a bug I''ve found I need to create a table called "values" so I added this: create_table :values do |t| t.integer :value end among the other table creations in activerecord/test/cases/migration_test.rb. Is that ok? But then, when I run the tests

Hi. in the Rails Agile book here''s what was happening: >>> module StoreHelper def hidden_div_if(condition, attributes = {}) if condition attributes["style" ] = "display: none" end attrs = tag_options(attributes.stringify_keys) "<div #{attrs}>" end # format_price method ... end Note that we cheated slightly here. We copied code from the Rails

Hi all. I''m hoping this is a simple one that someone can put me right on. I have a view that ''wraps'' some div''s around a Page Header and Page Content, for formatting reasons: <div id="LHS"> <div class="Page"> <div class="PageHeader"> ''Header Here'' </div> <div

Am trying to insert a link to delete via ajax in my RJS template. Can one use content_tag and link_to_remote like this in a RJS template? a = content_tag(''a'', link_to_remote("Delete", :update => "categories", :url => {:action => "delete", :name => category.name})) -Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey all, I have a quick question regarding the @template.content_tag methos when creating a custom form builder. Currently have the following method in my AccessibleBuilder class: def datetime_select(field, options = {}) required = options.delete :required label = options.delete :label @template.content_tag("div", @template.content_tag( "span", Example Label ) +

When I look at the docs, password_field seems to take 3 arguments. So when I ''play around" with things and I attempt to pass three arguments to password_field ... I get an error saying that it only takes two parameters ("3 for 2") I am totally lost. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I was looking at my controller code and the edit/create/update/new for each are practically identical. So first I DRY''d the four methods in each controller to just one and then I decided to write a single macro for all my controllers. This is the macro: def self.edit_action_for(model, options = {}) model_class = Object.const_get(model) define_method(:edit) do

this is my current code: #notice { border: solid 1px #99cc99; background-color: #e2f9e3; color: #006600; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; } #notice.error { border-color: #e2f9e3; background-color: #eeaaaa; color: #cc0000; } <% flash.each do |key, msg| %> <%= content_tag :div, flash[:error] || flash[:notice], :id => ''notice'', :class =>

I don''t have a blog, but wanted to share this little bit of code with other semi-beginners like myself who are still learning to take advantage of rails features. Selecting an attribute with a boolean switch is a common pattern in forms.

The following code in my application_helper.rb class either eats the flash message or escapes it and does not display properly: # Outputs the corresponding flash message if any are set def flash_messages messages = [] %w(notice warning error).each do |msg| messages << content_tag(:div, content_tag(:p, html_escape(flash[msg.to_sym])), :class => "message

Hi ! I would like to ascertain the following in a test case: @template.expects(:content_tag).with(:fieldset, :__any_arguments__i_dont_care) Is it possible to do so ? If so how ? If not, is it something the community wants ? Is it useful ? Thanks ! -- Fran?ois Beausoleil http://blog.teksol.info/ http://piston.rubyforge.org/

Just trying to implement a simple helper over the past few days had me really confused. messages = '''' messages << content_tag(:p, ''dave'') #=> &lt;p&gt;dave&lt;\p%;gt; Eventually I realised the original empty string was not html_safe message = ''''.html_safe message << content_tag(:p, ''dave'') #=>
