Does anyone know how to make a model connect to a remote database and only for that specific model?

I know this is probably stupidly simple, but I can''t seem to figure it out. I have a many-to-many association using HABTM. Im trying to clear all the stuff in the join table and call destroy on all the joined items. For example if I have a many to many for albums and photos, def method album=Album.find(4) album.photos.clear # NOW HOW DO I DESTROY ALL THOSE PHOTOS? end The things I

I always need to apply alternating item styles when outputting a collection, here''s what I''ve been using recently. In the app helper I define this method: def alternate(items,alt=false items.map{|i| i.class}.each { |k| k.class_eval {attr_accessor :alt}} items.each { |i| i.alt, alt = alt, !alt } end When I call the partial I wrap the collection with this method:

Hey guys, I know I can run search(q).total_hits, but if I try to put :limit=>0 it gives me an error. I don''t want it actually query any of the results, I just want it to tell me how many total_hits I would have if I wanted to search it. How can I do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, Im using the following amazon web service API for S3 : http://amazon.rubyforge.org/ The problem is that after I establish a connection using establish_connection!, and try using the "store" command, I keep getting the following error.

Greetings, I have a problem with attr_accessor and create seemingly being at odds with each other in my environment.

Hi all I have the following code in my controller: if @comment.valid? captcha_url = "http://captchator.com/captcha/check_answer/#{captcha_code}/#{@comment.captcha}" result = open(captcha_url) unless result.read == "1" @comment.errors.add(:captcha, "Captcha wurde nicht korrekt eingegeben") raise "#{@comment.valid?}"

Hi! Well, I thought this was easy, but for some reason it won''t work... Here is what I want to do: I am working on an API to a large database. The basic mapping is done, but I want to implement some convenience methods that take information for one object and does some calculations with it. The result should be accessible as attribute. So in a simple example: We have an object that

Hi All, I have to have a site wide search for my current application. By search I mean I have to search the static and the dynamic contents from the database. I have been searching on this for a while on the net and RDig seems to be a apt solution. While using it I have encountered a few problems. I know these might be very basic issues but I have not been able to figure out what is wrong with

I love OpenStruct, but it has no ability to iterate over the members. I had extended it, but recently I use this little class. Anyone see any issues with it ? class OpenHash < Hash def method_missing(name, value=nil) key = name.to_s.sub(/[=?!]$/,'''').to_sym self[key] = value if name.to_s[-1,1] == "=" return self[key] end end >> o =

Hi, I''ve got a model with the following attribute added: attr_accessor :level which does not exist in the database. After putting instances of this model in the cache (using Rails.cache.fetch(''foo'') { Category.all } ), when I retrieve it back from the cache, then trying to access .level gives: undefined method `level'' for #<Category:0x34d50a0>

I''m having trouble understanding Ruby''s concept of scope. Could someone explain the difference between the following 2 programs. They both return the same output "aaaaaaaa", but I''m just not sure about self in #1. Is self.day and self.title referring to and setting class variables or are they instance variables? Thanks in advance. # 1. class Session

Hey, campineros. And many good handshakes to zimbatm for getting some patches applied. So, yeah, I''d really like to get rid of any serious dependancies with this 1.6 release. Anything that''s not in stdlib has to go. Of course, camping-omnibus will still assume the whole ActiveRecord, Markaby, Mongrel setup that''s in the history books. Metaid can be removed and
