This is kind of a two part question. Question One: I want to be sure that an Order model is protecting sensitive attributes from mass assignment. The example looks like this: describe Order do it "should protect total attribute from mass assignment" do @order = Order.new(:total => 0.05) @order.total.should_not == 0.05 end end And the code to implement it: class Order

Hi, In my app/views/admin/clieint/_searchresults.rhtml partial, I have ... <% for user in @users %> <tr> <td><%=h user.ship_to_first_name %></td> <td><%=h user.ship_to_last_name %></td> <td><%=h user.email %></td> <td align="center"><%= link_to ''Show'', {:action =>

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to output validation errors in a nested form? I suppose this should be possible, but I am experiencing an error message that I can''t track down. The error I get is the following : TypeError in Store/orders#create Showing app/views/store/orders/new.html.erb where line #45 raised: can''t convert Array into String This is ocurring in the

Hi all, I''m running into a very strange but incredibly annoying problem that I just can''t seem to solve. The exception is occurring from a seemingly innocuous line in my code, a simple ''logger.warn("some debug information")''. The backtrace follows: SecurityError (Insecure: can''t modify array)

I''ve posted this on RailsForum.com and in the ActiveMerchant talk group, and haven''t received an answer, so I figure I''ll try here. Hello. I''ve been searching for information on this for a while, but my google fu is evidently weak--hardly anyone even talks about email receipts re: ActiveMerchant, much less my specific problem. In any case, I have a client whose

Hi, I''m using activemerchant and setting up a class variable using config.after_initialize. It works great for the first request, but then the variable is nil. config.after_initialize do ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.mode = :test OrderTransaction.gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalGateway.new(...) end I''m assuming this is is due to the model reloading after each

I have orders, order_items, and products. I want to collate several orders so that I can get a SUM of quantities ordered for each product etc. Can I say something like (the below gives an error on :sum, and ignores :group) OrderItem.find(:all, :sum => ''quantity'', :group => ''product_id'', :include => [:order, :product]) I want to get back a

Hi, I have the following: order = YAML::load(order_yaml) The YAML contains order_items too, and my order model has a has_many to order_items. When I do order.order_items, I don''t want Rails to go the db to get the order_items, but use the order_items already contained in the object created from the YAML. How would I do this? Thanks Joerg -- Posted via

Hi, I have an order model that i am storing in a session, that is not currently in the database. I am updating the page using ajax, and I do not want to store the order in the database untill it is completely filled out. I have order_items that I am adding to the order, and I have used the acts_as_list within the order_item model. My problem comes when i try and rearrange the order_items

Hi, I am creating an order management web application, and have run into an issue over join tables. I am reading Agile Web Development and it says that I can put additional fields within my join tables, and they give the example of a date field. I want to know if it is possible to do the following: I have an orders table with the order information as well as an orders_items table and an

ok, i''ve written a couple of unit tests and it was pretty straight forward as far as what i should and shouldn''t be testing in the unit test.. until now. i am testing a customer model right now.. i figure that a unit test should test the functions of a model as well as if you can do all the crud stuff and validations. right now i wish to test a customer model function that

I seem to be missing something trying to use ''validates_inclusion_of'' to validate a foreign key and was hoping some one could piont out my mistake? The problem seems to be that Order.find_all.collect is not returning an array that contains the order_id, if I replace it with a hardcoded array everything works as expected. The model: class OrderItem < ActiveRecord::Base

Hello all, I would like to be able to update the "amount" of a certain item in me order list. The problem I run into is how to define the text_field element. @order is the current order, which has_many :order_item which in turn belongs_to :order. order_item has a field "amount" which should be modified... What I tried is this below, but I get a undefined method

I''m currently using page.visual_effect :toggle_appear to toggle the appearance of details associated with an order. As I am inserting the detail data prior to making it visible, this method is not appropriate (it also loads the data on hide). I was thinking I could change the hide/show href each time it is clicked, or even store a value on the page and toggle it each time

Frankly I''m losing tolerance for the MS "stack." And I''m intrigued by Rails. But in my outfit I''m not only the web person, but also the application person and the DBA. So when I read that Rails doesn''t want to handle things like "compound keys" I blew right by those claims, thinking, "no way." But before I go deeper, I

Hi All, I''m trying to serve some XML from my Rails 2.0 server. I have a Flash file that always reads its configuration from /home/gallery.xml So, I would like to build the contents from the database and serve it back to the flash file when it hits my xml url. If it was HTML that it was asking for then in my home controller I have a gallery method that serves back a gallery.html.erb

Hi, I''m currently running an apache/jboss cocoon/flow/hibernate/ajax paypal (directpayment) project and am looking into the possibility of porting it across to ruby/rails. For that reason I would like to know the following: 1. Can I call my java classes or would I be looking at a complete rewrite in ruby? 2. How effective is ruby in terms of seperation of concerns regarding design from
