Still Stumbled on First things in trying RubyOnRails http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/article/1816/top-ruby-on-rails-tutorials http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/tutorial/index.html http://rails.homelinux.org/ I had tried the first of the top 12 tutorials and got stuck after adding a new field ?category_id?in the table recipes,

Hello All, I''ve been playing with Rails - did the recipe/category sample from onLamp.com - fairly straight forward - even got it working against postgres. Anyway, I''ve been appling rails to a small test project and I can''t seem to get the syntax down or find a sample of how to use the date control on a custom new/edit view. The CRUD (is that right?) that automatically

I''m three pages into the OnLamp RoR Tutorial [1] and am wrestling with what appears to be a MySQL connection problem. I''ve created a simple controller called "recipe" with a corresponding "recipes" mysql table. The recipe controller is just a simple scaffold. When I browse to "recipe/new", though, I get these errors: == NoMethodError in

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

I am seeing a curious anomaly with the inspect method. It displays one of the objects in a way I don''t understand. I''ll use the Recipes example to illustrate. First, I''ll describe the recipes table, then show how the @recipe variable is being created in the controller and passed in to the show view, and then show how I''m using the

Hi, Day 3 with rails here. Forgive me. If this has been covered many times before, pls just point me at the article. I worked through the Rolling with Rails tutorial (http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html) built up my cookbook. Things work great. I now want to add Ingredients to my app. So, a Recipe will have 1 or more Ingredients and any single ingredient can be

I have installed Ruby on Rails and the latest version of MySQL in my Windows XP machine and I am following a demo from ONLamp.com <http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=3>. I am 3/5 down the page where it says: "Open a browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:3000/recipe/new. You should see something like Figure 32." Instead of a page like Figure 32, I get

People, I can order categories when looking at the categories list page but how do I change the recipe page to list the categories in alpha order in the recipe pull-down box?: > <p><b>Category:</b><br> > <select name="recipe[category_id]"> > <% @categories.each do |category| %> > <option value="<%= category.id

hello, I am gererateing a missing template error when I overwrite the list part of the scaffold. it seems to have the wrong path to list.rhtml. Looking at the error path (below) it is looking for in a folder called <public>. This seems wierd to me becausae that path does not exist in the frame work. the path should be /Users/dima/Documents/ruby/rails/cookbook/app/views/recipe/list.rhtml

Total Ruby N00b here with a question about the Hibbs OnLamp tutorial. I''m trying to hook up to my cookbook database and I''m getting: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in Recipe#index Mysql::Error: #42S02Table ''cookbook.recipes'' doesn''t exist: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM recipes RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/..

Unable to get past Tutorial 1 in RubyOnRails On 29 April 2006 I met some one in a Microsoft sponsored developers? community gahering. I was told that ruby on rails is a free software, easy to use, and in no time will have my mind blown with all the wonderful prospects and possibilities. After almost a week, I am still unable to get past tutorial 1 and still unable to make any tutorials work

I''m a newbie trying to follow the ONLamp RoR tutorial at http:// www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 Originally, I forgot to install the MySQL driver. It took a while to get a driver installed using gem, but eventually I got mysql-2.7 driver installed after downloading some ruby dev headers and mysql client library.

Hi, Having completely failed to sort out my apache 500 error, I thought I would work through the "Rolling with Ruby on Rails" tutorial at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html I am using webrick, not apache - and still getting 500 errors. When I get to page 4 where http://127.0.0.1:3000/recipe/new should give me a data entry screen, instead I get...

Hi All the tutorials call their controllers ''TodoController''[1] or ''RecipeController''[2] (singular), but "script/generate scaffold Recipe" for example generates a ''RecipesController'' (in recipes_controller.rb) As I''m rather new to RoR I don''t know if that convention changed, I read something about it here:

Please help me I am brand new to this. I have been following this tutorial from OnLamp http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html which tells you how to install ruby, rails and mySQL and get going. Doing this tutorial convinced me RoR was the way to go for me. So I got hold of this e-book: Agile Web Development with Rails - The Pragmatic Programmers The book tells me to install

I followed this tutorial for Ruby on Rails... http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 Everything went fine.

Hi, I''ve created a Rails application and am having a problem listing by a particular category in an associated table.

Can anyone please outline a better set of instructions than in the "Showing Recipes in a

People, I have gone through the cookbook example: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 and everything worked fine an a FC4/Postgres setup. I then tried to reproduce this success with something that would be useful to me - a library db using books & authors tables. The author list works but NOT the book list (unless I take line #17 out). I get this message:
