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

I''ve created a module to include in a Controller. Basically it works, but I am expecting methods in the module to have access to instance variables from the controller, and that appears to not be the case. Yet, a simple Ruby example says it should be. I''m not sure what''s different. Simple Example: module ShapeStuff def set_type @type =
