similar to: undefined method `name' ...........

Ruby noob here. Just installed Rails 2.0, and am having trouble with updating DB tables, using the ApplicationController. My ApplicationController file looks like: class StoryController < ApplicationController protect_from_forgery :only => [:create, :update, :destroy] scaffold :story #def index #@current_time = Time.now #@story =

Hi, I recieve error "undefined method `stories_path'' for #<ActionView::Base:0x995b4ac>" when going to the view via site.com/stories/new The model is setup correctly, I can retrieve data from the db fine. I think it might be related to the helper but I have no idea where to start. It seems to think its failing on the first line of the view, i belive on the

Hi Rails team Learning ROR, and is doing the chapter with test..... feel like skipping this, but.... (using NetBeans IDE 6.1) I have created this story_test.rb, and when I run the ''rake test:units (selected from the GUI), I get this error: (in /data/NewOrder/Projects/ROR/shovell) ** Invoke test:units (first_time) ** Invoke db:test:prepare (first_time) ** Invoke environment

Hello all I am wondering how rails handles case sensitivity in databases. If I do a Person.find_all_by_name("tim") in mysql I would expect to get tim, TIm, and Tim. Do I only get tim in postgres? How do other people deal with this? Do you resort to find_by_sql for all your postgres queries to get case insensitive results?

I was hoping that AR''s find_by_* magic methods would help me retrieve multiple items somewhat like the following: names_to_find = [''Larry'', ''Moe'', ''Curly''] found_people = Person.find_by_name(names_to_find) Is there a way to accomplish this using find_by_* (or even find(:all) using some sort of conditions) or must I resort to SQL

I was reading this article a while back http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/06/06/did-rails-sink-twitter/ and it got me thinking. If I wanted to set up my app so that each user has his/her own table, how would I go about doing that? "create_table :users" just creates a table in the database for a list of all the users (which I guess I''d want in addition to their individual

I have a ''new'' page with a submit for creating stories. On the ''show'' page the submit allows a user to enter comments. I now want a ''edit'' page for the stories with another submit for updates. I have used the ''create'' and ''update'' methods in the stories_controller on the ''new'' and

Has anyone extended Rails''s acts_as_tree to use the Modified Preorder Traversal algorithm? This is a really clever trick for optimizing access to trees stored in databases, as described lucidly in this article: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/hierarchical-data-database/2 It adds two integer fields, a "left counter" and "right counter", to each row. By

Hi, I am following this post * http://www.sitepoint.com/ruby-social-gems-linkedin/* for using linked gem and API for getting profile and other stuff But at the end I am getting this error: => Booting WEBrick => Rails 3.2.13 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Call with -d to detach => Ctrl-C to shutdown server Exiting

Hi Im confused by one thing, and if someone can explain it I would be a happy > rev(strsplit("hej",NULL)) [[1]] [1] "h" "e" "j" > lapply(strsplit("hej",NULL),rev) [[1]] [1] "j" "e" "h" Why dossent the first one work? What is it in R that "fails" so to say that you need to use lapply for it to get

I am using the daemons plugin. I have just one problem how do i add modules from the /lib folder to the /lib/daemons/daemon.rb file eg. /lib/basic_functions.rb this is the file i want to load in daemon.rb contents daemon.rb: #!/usr/bin/env ruby # You might want to change this ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= "production" require File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Hello all, I apologize if the answer to this question is going to be rudimentary, but I am thus far stymied by the information I have found on the web. This seems like it should be simple, but I haven''t really found an example of how to do this yet. I have a model called Account which has a belongs_to reference to another model, User, as below: class Account < ActiveRecord::Base

struct timespec64 has unused bits in the tv_nsec field that can be used for other purposes. In future patches, we're going to change how the inode->i_ctime is accessed in certain inodes in order to make use of them. In order to do that safely though, we'll need to eradicate raw accesses of the inode->i_ctime field from the kernel. Add new accessor functions for the ctime that we can

Hi everyone, I am a newbee in RoR and i could use some help. I have a select box populated by: <select name = "test_company" id = "test_company"> <option selected value=test.company.to_s>Create New </option> <%= options_for_select Company.find(:all, :conditions => ["name =?", test.company], :order => "id asc").collect{|c|

No, not a question, but a few suggestions. I take it that everyone serious about using Prototype & Co. already has Christophe''s (Porteneuve) Prototype and Script.aculo.us book. Apart from that, I''d like to point out two new, library-agnostic books: Cameron Adams and several others The Art & Science of JavaScript Sitepoint 2008 http://www.sitepoint.com/books/jsdesign1/

Hi all, this series removes most users of the write_one_page API. These helpers internally call ->writepage which we are gradually removing from the kernel. Changes since v2: - more minix error handling fixes Changes since v1: - drop the btrfs changes (queue up in the btrfs tree) - drop the finaly move to jfs (can't be done without the btrfs patches) - fix the existing minix code to

Can anyone recommend good books, online tutorials, or any other learning materials for Javascript - specifically Object Oriented Programming using JS? I want the rest of my dev team to be able to help me code in JS, specifically using prototype and scriptaculous. I''ve been using JS for so long, and I kinda "grew up" on OOP programming but my whole team is Coldfusion

Hello! I am trying to export a data-file from SAS to R. It says in the R program that the SAS file should be in XPORT-format. I assume that the file should have and .xpt extension. But when I try to open the file in R I get only the message "compressed" written all over. So, probably I should un-compress the file in the R-program, the question is how? Very greatful for quick help!

Hi, I''m building an application which is going to require quite fine grained access control. Deciding if a user is allowed to access an action will probably require checking quite number of different rules, so a simple role-based system won''t be flexible enough. The approach I think I will try first is, if it''s possible, to ignore permission issues inside the
