similar to: DRYing some controller code

I need help to optimize a query (sort of ...) if params[:debit] == "on" @schools = School.find(:all, :conditions => ["name like ?", "%#{params[:search]}%"], :order => ''name'') @schools.delete_if { |s| s.debit <= 0 } @school_pages = Paginator.new self, @schools.length, 20 The problem here is that

Does someone have an example on faking a file upload for just ensuring it gets called, without actually uploading the file to s3. I thought that stubbing Model.has_attached_file would be enough, but it doesn''t seem so ... This is what I did: Video.stub!( :has_attached_file ).with( :name ).and_return( true ) has_attached_file is from paperclip, it gets mixed to the model. 1)

Hi *, I have something like map.connect ''people/:username'', :controller => ''account'', :action => ''index'' in my routes.rb and obviously if the user isn''t logged it defaults to the login screen. I''d like to be able to fetch the :username and display it in the opposite input field inside my login page, but I

Hi *, I have a few modules in lib/ and I use them mostly in my models. I''d like to add a few unit tests and run them with rake with all other tests of my app: where do I have to write them ?

So I''ve recently started playing with the restful routes support in edge rails, converting a few of my controllers to support all the standard operations.. One thing that''s been bothering me, however, is the following: Before using restul routes, I would define an edit method in my controller which would be responsible for both creating new objects as well as editing

I''ve configured actionmailer following the documentation, adding to environment.rb everything for using my mail account on yahoo using deliver_* methods to send a mail. I can see the mail in development.log and everything seems fine, but no mails so far. Is there a place where can I see what the server answered, or something to look at to solve the problem ? I have no clue,

Hi *, I need to choose a platform for building the administrative part of http://www.zooppa.com Actually I like both streamlined and activescaffold, they seem both good. I''d like to ask to people using it which one is more likely to manage correctly things like validations, polymorphic associations, STI and in general complex data. If it''s also easy to modify it would

I''m sending mails to a rails app, and I''m having a weird issue fetching the email.from header. I will paste the whole email and show what email.from returns. ####### Received mail: Return-Path: <nicholas.wieland-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> Delivered-To: unknown Received: from mail.tochunky.org (75.126.89.28) by adreadedsunnyday.local with POP3; 24 Feb

I''m trying to specify a model in a controller, but rails gives me "Account is not a class", where Account is my model name ... This is my model: class Account < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :email, :email_confirmation, :username, :password, :password_confirmation validates_format_of :email, :with =>

We often find ourselves reading through all sorts of contests on the Internet that never seem to echo our own personal skill set or interests. Perhaps you've even fantasized about a type of contest with the types of prizes and goodies that YOU'D actually enjoy. Maybe you've wished there were something along the lines of a asterisk phone system diagram contest? With prizes ranging from

Astricon is only 54 days away! If you're not booked, please take a moment to register for the conference, get your hotel room, and get your plane tickets before things fill up and/or get expensive. This is a great opportunity to meet other developers, users, and members of the Asterisk ecosystem, and I encourage everyone to attend. While there are great things to be said about the

Hi *, I need to pass a hash to a webservice, so I defined my API with: api_method :search, :expects => [{ :tags => :string, :assignment => :string, :resource => :string, :lesson_plan => :string, :subject => :string, :all_types => :string }], :returns => [[Resource]] when I try to test the webservice with scaffold the

This is my code: <%= form_remote_tag :url => { :action => "forgot_account" }, :update => "result", :complete => visual_effect(:highlight, "result", :duration => 2, :startcolor => "#c8e673", :endcolor => "#9db55d") %> If I remove colors to the effect everything works, but with this code it renders on another

The built-in Rails pagination is fairly limited...you pass in the model name, and optionally some conditions, and it generates a paginated query for you. This gets to be very bad if you''ve got any custom queries. class Company < ActiveRecord::Base def complete_videos Video.find :all, :conditions => "company_id=#{id} AND status=''complete''", :order

Hello. I call a find_all_by_subject("action") which returns 2 videos and displays them properly. But when I add @video_pages, @videos = paginate :videos, :per_page => 10 so I can paginate the videos, it displays ALL the videos as if I selected list videos. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you. selectaction.rhtml <table> <tr> <% x = 0 %>

I''m trying to generate a "page slug" i.e. a url sanitized id from some text in my model that I want to be saved into the database and I''m not seeing how I can do it. The closest I''ve come to getting this to work has been... class Page < ActiveRecord::Base attr :name before_save :generate_slug def generate_slug self.slug = self.name.gsub

Not really a Rails question, but a "best practices" one. If I want to associate an image to every account in my application, is it better to insert the image file directly inside the db or to upload the image in public/images/ ? Also, if I want to associate a cover to a movie, what''s the best approach ? TIA, ngw -- Nicholas Wieland nicholas_wieland@yahoo.it

Dear R buddies, This weekend I became interested in solving Google Code Jam problems using R. I guess R may work very well in this kind of contests but the input of file has been a problem for me. Take this case for example (http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/dashboard?c=agdjb2RlamFtchALEghjb250ZXN0cxjRzBQM), the files are usually of the form: A(number of lines for group 1) a11 a12 a13 a21
