Hi, I''m trying to follow the "AWDR" example of storing certain types of numbers (in my case, percentages not money) as integers in the database. I understand from the Depot application how to format the output to have 2 places (or n places for that matter) decimal. Now, I"m wondering about the input. It''s more natural for people to enter numbers as

Hi, Quick question (which means that I think there should be an easy answer)... When I am in the "show" view, I''d like to add 2 links, one for previous and one for next record so that the user can go on to the next "result" without having to go back to the ''list'' of results. However, I can''t find my way about this problem :-S

Hi Everyone, I''m trying to formulate my thoughts on how views work in RoR and I understand the basic bits - 1. Every controller has its own view defined using rhtml files in the views/[controller_name] folder. 2. There is one "view" file (rhtml) for every in the controller and has the same name as the method. 3. For portions that are common, partials can be used - file

Hey, I installed InstantRails 1.7 (on Windows XP Home). I unzipped it with 7-Zip in D:\InstantRails (no spaces in pathname + short pathname) to avoid UnZip-problems. I followed the installation instructions. The cookbook-example works fine.

In an *.rhtml, why do I need to add <% for product in @products %> in order that I may call an <img class="list-image" src="<%= product.img_url %>"/>. Is there not another way to skip the "for product" line? I really dont want to include it. I tried @products = product but it does not work. Can anyone help shed light on this matter? -- Posted via

Hi Guys, I am trying to paginate the results from a search. When I use actual constants in the search conditions, it works fine: def query @k2_result_pages, @k2_results = paginate (:k2_results, :conditions => [''e_date >= ? AND e_date <= ?'', ''2006-07-12'', ''2006-08-12''],

Hi! I''m looking for a good tutorial that explains the main points of performing queries with Rails. I do have AWDWR and have read the section on ''find'' but I''m looking for something that goes into more detail on how to perform queries across tables.

I''ve been experimenting with Rails over the past couple of days and have come across something that seems harder than it should be. In previous frameworks I have used (WebObjects, php) a full search page (which leads into a list view populated with search results) was part of the CRUD that was either dynamically or statically created after specifying table/object schema. In

I have a text field that I use for logging in users. Due to the design of my site, I don''t have room to put the word "username" in front of the text field so I''d like to actually display it inside the field and then have the word clear when the user clicks on it. How could I modify something like this <%= text_field "user", "login", :size

Hi! I know that the web is essentially stateless, so I was wondering about how lost connections can be managed. I have an application that posts data to a web form. This form has a large number of items (about 38) and I''m a bit concerned about the connection being lost while posting the data. Is it safe to assume that the web application will reject the transmission if the right

Hi, I am trying to implement a few queries now. What are good ways to do this? Right now, I have a list page that does sorting and can carry out a generic pagination request. @user_result_pages, @user_results = paginate(:user_results, :per_page => 20, :conditions => @condition, :order_by => @sort_order) I create @sort_order earlier in the list function.
