Hi there, I''ve just installed login_engine and user_engine from the repositories, followed the setup procedures as documented in: vendor/plugins/user_engine/README But I''m getting the following failure: vince@vaio:~/Projects/Booking$ rake bootstrap (in /home/vince/Projects/Booking) rake aborted! undefined method `edit'' for class `UserController''

I suspect there''s an easier version of this question that I could ask, but I''m not sure where I''m going wrong. I have LoginEngine and UserEngine setup and seemingly running fine. However, not all of my controllers are being found when I run "rake sync_permissions". Specifically, it''s the controllers that are not in the base controllers folder, but

Hi All, I''m developing a Rails app with Rails v1.1.4, but when I upload it to Dreamhost and try to serve it with dispatch.cgi, I get the error "Cannot find gem for Rails =1.1.4". However, I have installed the 1.1.4 gem in my home directory and set GEM_PATH to look there; additionally, rake throws no errors and "rails -v" displays "Rails 1.1.4". Any

I have a lot of controllers with virtually identical functionality for most actions. I''ve been using shared behaviours to DRY things up a bit, but I still have to create separate behaviours for each context before I can use the shared behaviours what I have now is a generic file which contains all the behaviours and examples common to all the controllers, and that file gets loaded from

Hello forum readers, Let''s say i have two models: Person and Role (i replicated the problem with Post & Tag as well, as i thought the problem was linked to some application-specific rights problem, but it wasn''t). In Person, attr_accessible role_ids is declared, so it accepts an array of Role ids as an argument when creating / updating. If i fire up the rails console and

I''m lost on regular expressions to begin with... I''m trying to fix a value to one of 4 radio buttons as there will be value of either 1,2,3 or 4 in @roles_users... <TD><input type="radio" id="roles" name="case_managers[case_manager_name]" value="Case Manager Admin" <% if =~ @roles_users /1/ checked =

This is pretty simple, but I must be missing the obvious. I''ve got a table that''s similar to this: USERS: - id int - username varchar(64) - password varchar(64) - role_id int ROLES: - id int - description varchar(16) I''ve had no troubles doing has_many relationships at all. But I want to map the user.role directly to the role model automatically (which sounds

Hello All, I am new to ROR, and can''t seem to get HABTM to cooperate entirely... however I might be abusing it! Before I try a different strategy I thought I''d ask here and see if I''m missing something simple. So say Projects and Companies are related. Projects can have multiple Companies, and Companies can be on multiple Projects. But, the same Company can also

I have been struggling for quite sometime with this. Is there any way to configure the Model to store user defined value in the inheritance_column instead of the default value (which is class_name) The problem I have is like this: I have a User model and there are different models which inherit from this like Admin, Premium, Professional, etc. Each of these inherited models are identified by a

Hi, I have a User model with a HABTM relation to a Role model and vice versa. So There''s a roles_users table that references :user and :role. I''m using formtastic, and in the user.edit.html.erb I have a line that outputs the roles as a multi-select list box. But the box is not showing the roles that have been assigned to the users. Another problem is that if I select a few

Hi everyone, I have a problem. I want to display a different select box wether the current user is an admin or an user. So I thought I could do this in my view where my form is displayed : <p class="form-input"> <%= f.label(:role_id, ''Role:'') %> <% if (current_user.admin?) then collection_select(:user, :role_id, Role.find(:all, :order =>

I''m looking for a way to select a default value from a select box, like this: select("user", "role_id", Role.find_all.collect {|r| [ r.name, r.id ] }, { :default_value => ''5'' } (of course, there is no ":default_value") If the form is being used on a ''create'' page, it should display a default in the select box. If

Does anyone know of a good example somewhere of an implemention for adding records with HABTM relations that have lots of possibilities. The best way that I''ve seen it done is where you have two lists (multiple select lists) where you have the possibilities on the left and ones you''ve added on the right with arrows to add and delete items. But the only ways I know how to

I''m making a simple questionnaire app using RoR. I''ve got a model for Questions, a model for Answers, and a third model, Qa, for matching each question to five possible answers through foreign keys. So, each qa has a question and five answers , a1-a5, through belongs_to and a :foreign_key, and then a selected_answer field for specifying which answer was selected by the user. The

Rails 2.3.5 I am working on a nested form that assigns roles to users through a table called clearances. I have attr_acessable turned off globally in an initializer: ActiveRecord::Base.send(:attr_accessible, nil) I have this set in clearance.rb attr_accessible(:description, :effective_from, :role_id, :superceded_after, :user_id) And this is what params looks like after the

I want to create table called roles and then populate it with some new records...This doesn''t work. Is there something I''m missing? Craig class AddRightsAndRolesTables < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :roles do |t| t.column "name", :string end Role.reset_column_information Role.new :name => "Users Admin"

I''m pretty sure that there''s a better way to do this: @roles = Role.find(:all) @selected_role = Role.find(@user.role_id) Can someone help me? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi, I''m trying to figure the most efficient way to model the following. I can think of at least two ways to relate the tables but from a client/server perspective! I''m wondering how to best (and elegantly)relate them from an AR perspective. A project has many people, A person can work on many projects at any time, A project has many roles, A role is performed by a person, A
