Hi list, first evening of playing with rails, so please forgive me if I ask something stupid. ;-) I created a User model and tried to use ActiveRecord callbacks to convert the password to sha1 just before saving it. For some reason postgresql gives me a error because the given password is null. To test even further I tried to change :login too, same error happens, :login is empty too. I am sure

For a while, I''ve been getting that HMT is replacing HABTM. It appears that HMT can do all of what HABTM can do and more. The question is: Should I stop using HABTM? Let''s take a simple case: A case has many categories For a given category, there are certain valid statuses Category has_and_belongs_to_many :statuses Status has_and_belongs_to_many :categories Question: Is

Hi ! I''m trying to connect to an https URL, but it seems it doesn''t work. Has anyone successfully connected from Ruby to an HTTPS server ? Thanks ! -- Fran?ois Beausoleil http://blog.teksol.info/

I work at an organization that is very wrapped up in Microsoft products. I am trying to get a test application put in however I''m not sure what to do about the infratstructure. If it were up to me we would put in MySQL and Apache or Lighty, however its not up to me. The easiest way to get an application into production at our company would be to use the existing MS SQL server and IIS

What is the most RoR friendly way of making a form mailer similar to this php one? http://tips-scripts.com/?tip=form_mail#tip Or is it easier just to use the php with RoR? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m tinkering around with an old legacy table in SQL Server 2000. Ruby 1.8.4, most recent ADO.rb file from RubyForge, Rails 1.0 Here''s the model: class InventoryItem < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "[_SMDBA_].[_INVENTOR_]" set_primary_key "sequence" end Everything works fine. I can retrieve records without issue. However, when create a new

I installed 1.1.3 on my OS X Tiger machine and now I''m seeing very strange results. When hitting a controller action, I am told that perfectly valid methods are not there: NoMethodError (undefined method `find'' for VideoTrack:Module) Huh? Here''s the code in question: VideoTrack.find(:all, :conditions => "featured_video = 1", :order =>

In Depot, the demo application in the the Agile book, actions that modify the model such as add_to_cart redirect to another action that has a clear view role, like index, or show_cart, instead of generating the view themselves. This uses an HTTP redirect that goes to the client and returns. Is this an idiomatic way to design the flow in Rails? -- fxn

I just spent the last two days trying to get Rails on IIS to work with Windows 2003/IIS 6.0. I think I''ve finally got it working, but it took more googling than I care to describe. Now I''ve got a few questions: 1) Is there some ''official'' Rails on IIS guide on this site on another official ruby site that''s known to work well? 2) If not, can someone

anyone been successful with implementing code hints in the Views folder with radrails in eclipses? There is a tutorial out there that suggests you edit the jsp folder (http://www.napcs.com/howto/railsonwindows.html#_Toc111133462) but i think when you add rails, that jsp folder somehow disappears or something. i don''t like that idea anyway, cause i don''t like jsp hints

I''ve been stumped on this for a few days and I''m not sure if it''s an error on my end or an actual bug. I have a system where I have workshops and users. Workshops have students, presenters, and troubleshooters. I wanted to represent this simply by using has_many :through with :source. Workshop has_many :presenters, :through =>:presenterships, :source=>:user

I have a bunch of queries to compute some counters, like find_by_sql(<<-SQL SELECT p.*, c.nfavourites FROM people p, ( SELECT fp.person_id, COUNT(fp.user_id) as nfavourites FROM favourite_people fp, users u WHERE fp.user_id = u.id AND u.cluster = ''#{in_cluster_of_user.cluster}'' GROUP BY fp.person_id ) as c WHERE

I left ":memory:" in database.yml for testing and the most simple tests in the Agile book do not work (see trace below for test_truth). Since that''s what comes with the distributed database.yml I suppose it''s me doing something wrong. Did someone get SQLite ":memory:" working? How does it grab the schema? -- fxn % rake test_units (in

Does anyone know of any services that could be used to authenticate a user that would be a member of the general public? One of the projects we''re looking at here needs to have forms signed by parents of students. Since we simply can''t put every parent or guardian in our databse, we need a way to outsource the authentication. I''m wondering if there are any services that

After a lot of work (and much promising) I have written instructions on various methods to deploy Rails applications in a Windows environment. For those of you who are not stuck with Windows, this won''t matter too much to you, but I think this is really useful for those in Windows shops.
