Railsters: ActiveRecord''s validation system puts other database systems to shame. However, the newbies might not know how to write a regexp that excludes a match, instead of tests for it. Understand - I''m just asking this question to help them. I have been using Regexps since ''grep'' on Xenix! But the newbies here might not know how to do this:

My latest stupid web trick, built, with love, in Rails: http://wordie.org Make lists of words. See who else likes the same words. Basically, it''s a dating site. Built on thanksgiving while half-watching football and launched yesterday. In other words, half-baked, but I thought some of you might find it mildly amusing.

Compiz: A colleague tempted me with compiz eye candy, and I tried it. Sorry, but many features were too far outside my usability comfort zone: - lazy mouse (in /this/ day and age???) - The Run window did not reliably pop up - minimize-all-windows turned everything black Some of those items were configurable. Some required multiple, diverse reconfigurations to fix. I couldn't fix the

I have not been able to access the UJS site, http://www.ujs4rails.com/ for two days. Does that mean there are problems or that it has been incorporated into Rails core? In general, what do you think of using UJS instead of RJS? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Hi, I have put all the basic things in place and you will find it a working tutorial for Ruby on Rails 2.1. http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ruby-on-rails-2.1/ I have covered Model, Controller and Views in detail and you will find a nice example on scaffolding. If you like this tutorial then please share it with others....Oh yes...if you have any feedback then please definitely send it to me.

I have the following question. It sounds weird, but still. We all have app/views/say.rhtml or any other template for the view. It can include of course instructions in <% %> So the question is next -- is it possible to use .rhtml as a view which we just uploaded? I.e. user uploads his own .rhtml, controller saves it in the database, and shows the view using it. Is it possible at all?

I''m not quite sure how to get at this data using Actrive record.. I''m trying to get all the appointments made for a particular project. I''m using four models, Projects, Tasks, Resources and Appointments. The SQL gets me what I''m looking for but how do I do it using Active Record? Select a.* from appointments a join resources r on r.id = a.resource_id join

Railsers: As usual for a product written very rapidly, most of its documentation assumes some other documentation told you something critical. For example, the file form_helper.rb tempts me with this documentation: # <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" }, :builder => LabellingFormBuilder do |f| %> That''s beautiful. Now what do I

Hi, I am using collection_select to build a drop down list. I would like to have the current value selected. How can I do that? My current code is straight from the example in Pragmatic Programmers book [2nd ed, p480] copying here for reference. <%= @users = User.find(:all, :order => "name" ) form.collection_select(:name, @users, :id, :name) %> I went through the api docs

Railsters: I just installed fixture_scenarios ... http://fixture-scenarios.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fixture_scenarios ...into a project with some RSpec specifications. They all went kablooey. I didn''t even create a scenario; the system just started calling its version of fixtures(). The normal tests pass and the RSpec ones unanimously emit: TypeError in ''Context (verbose

hello. i just checked Chad Fowler''s post "20 Rails Development No-No''s" and one guideline caught my attention. it says: "Nothing that looks at all like SQL should go into a controller, view, or helper." it really came as a surprise to me as Rails itself seems to go against such practice by its AR ''conditions'' option, which most of the times

I''ve been working through the book ''Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce'' which is very heavy on Test Driven Development. As in, you have to write tests for scaffolding methods and validations and crap like that. And then they fail. And you KNOW its the test not the method. So you spend 2x the time writing a test that has to be adapted when requirements change. You

Hello: I have radio buttons like this: <% fields_for :goalhist do |g| %> <table> <tr> <td align=left><%= radio_button_tag (''duedate'', 0, checked = false, options = {:onclick => ""}) %> &nbsp;&nbsp;Start now </td> </tr> <tr id="detailed" style="display: none"><td colspan=2>

Hi all ! Loading fixtures doens''t seems to associate my 2 objects, do know what''s wrong ?

Is there an advanced rails mailing list? I''ve noticed that much of the issues on this list are for beginner to intermediate issues, and posters asking more advanced issues are rarely answered. I still find this list to be very useful, but I would love to find a community of more advanced RoR folks to discuss expert level implementations. -Kevin

I''d like to try autocompletion, and my understanding based on AWDWR:2, and on various website tutorials, is that I should install the script.aculos.us javascript library. My question is how to do that. The instructions on their site tell me to "Put prototype.js, scriptaculous.js, builder.js, effects.js, dragdrop.js, slider.js and controls.js in a directory of your website,

I have a batch job that will call script/runner, I would like in this call to create html formated email and save it to the database. This is easy enough in a controller with yournewhost.email = render_to_string :action => "email_newhost_ready", :layout => false But render_to_string is only available in controller action pack, is there a easy way to render_to_string in a Model? Or
