hi, i''m trying ferret, i''ve a model which has some records and two of them have a title with the word ''again'' (one or more time), so i''ve tried to do a search for ''again'', but i didn''t found anything...i''ve edited the title with ''test again'', searched for ''test'', and i''ve

I want to be able to find items according to various params - category_id, member_id, type_id, rating, etc. What I have now is something like: if(@params[''category_id'']) @items=Item.find(:all, :conditions=>["category_id=?", @params[''category_id'']) elsif(@params[''category_id''] and @params[''member_id''])

In some of my unit tests, I find the need to set today to a different value than the actual today. For example, to test the model method "balance_of_today", which takes no argument, I want to have Date.today be a specific date for the purpose of testing. In other words, I want to do something like this: mock_today(Date.new(2008, 2, 1)) do ... test code... end My implementation for

I want to write a validate routine to check to enforce that a position must be unique in a category. (In another category, it doesn''t have to and shouldn''t need to be unique.) I write this code which works happily for new items: def position_in_category_not_unique @items = Item.find( :all, :conditions => [ "category_id = ? AND position = ?", category_id,

Hi, I have a small blog application, and I would like to shorten its routes. Here they are: Blog::Application.routes.draw do resources :categories do resources :articles do resources :comments end end A rake routes command produce the following lines: GET /categories/:category_id/articles/:article_id/comments(.:format)

I was brainstorming today about a smooth way to define conditions in an sql query, when the numbers of attributes increase, so does the uglyness. So instead of passing a hash, I thought you could specify the conditions directly in code. I hacked together some example code which actually turned out to work. The result is concise and pretty beutiful. def search(params) Ad.find(:all) do

I have a simple RESTful search scaffold that finds data in a separate model and controller. [code] <h1>New search</h1> <% form_for(@search) do |f| %> <%= f.error_messages %> <p> <%= f.label :category_id %><br /> <%= f.collection_select :category_id, Category.all, :id, :name, :include_blank => true %> </p> <p> Age

Hi, I have an array with objects and I want to generate an XML like: <objects> <object> <category_id>1</category_id> <helper-method>result 1</helper-method> </object> <object> <category_id>2</category_id> <helper-method>result 2</helper-method> </object> </objects> The helper

The AWDwR book has the following: add_index :categories_products, [:product_id, :category_id] add_index :categories_products, :category_id The first, composite index actually serves two purposes: it creates an index which can be searched on both foreign key columns, and with most databases it also creates an index that enables fast lookup by the product id. The second index then completes

Hi all, I am a newbie to Rails. Please enlighten me on how to do this appropriately, the Rails and the Ruby way: Suppose I have a Recipe model. Let''s simplify things and pretend that it has only 2 attributes, a :name and the other is a ''category_id''. In the recipes table, category_id is a foreign key to field id of table categories. We also assume that I have generate

Hi Gurus, I''m trying to tackle a drop down list. I have category and item dbs, and they''re wired up with category has_many :items and item belongs_to :category, and an item has a category_id. I have this code in my new/edit.html.erb for item: <%= f.collection_select :category_id, Category.find_main, :id, :header, {}, :multiple => false %> And a pretty drop down list

Is it possible to specify a route like this: /items(/category/:category_id)(/order/:order)(/page/:page) and have any of the parts in parentheses be optional? I know I can make :category_id and the other vars optional, but is it possible with the entire "/category/:category_id" part? thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

I really hope this is not a bad question (as in he''s abusing the list). However I could use a little direction (even though I''m reading books, tutorials) Right now I''m getting a undefined method `category'' for 4:Fixnum The specific lines from the rhtml file are: <td><%= link_to position.category_id.category, :action => "show", :id =>

Is there any reason that foreign key fields do not show in any of the scaffold views ? project table: id serial primary key, category_id integer, user_id integer, name varchar, morestuff varchar foreign key (category_id) references categories(id), foreign key (user_id) references users(id) scaffold generated views only show name, morestuff fields
