Hello all, Ive got Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8), ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [universal-darwin9.0] and mysql 5.0.67 installed and working fine with Rails 2.1.0.

Hi, im looking to build a page similar to a shopping cart page. When you change the ''price'' or ''quantity'' fields, the total is calculated and displayed. There are other fields in the form which have no relation to this action. So i guess observe_form is not required. Can someone tell me what the best practise is for this?

Hey guys, Started running unicorn in a production server like two weeks ago. It''s been running smoothly, but looking at the logs found 44 exceptions like this: E, [2010-06-02T16:17:15.117071 #22680] ERROR -- : Read error: #<TypeError: can''t modify frozen string> E, [2010-06-02T16:17:15.117270 #22680] ERROR -- :

Thanks Wolas! Sorry if this seems like a newbie question, what am I supposed replace the stubbed_method_name with? Also, I came across the only thread on the Interwebs which seems to cover this topic - it''s over a year old, but I think they have a solution which could work around the issues you pointed out. However, I couldn''t work out how to get their subbing approach to

Hi all, I am running on Windows XP sp2 with ruby 1.8.6, and rails 1.2.3 I am using REST, and have this in my view <% form_for(:project, :url => project_path(:user_id => @project.my_user, :id => @project), :html => {:method => :put}) do |f| %> The browser correctly gives <form method="post" action="/users/2/projects/1">

There''s a small inconsistency in ActiveRecord''s callback syntax that has tripped me up before. It wouldn''t be a big deal, but it can lead to a silent failure. I''d like to suggest that it either be made consistent or be made to fail loudly. The issue is that to do something before validating, but only when creating, you use `before_validation on: :create`,

Hi all, Ive been getting this error on one particular query repeatedly for the past few days. ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction: UPDATE `posts` SET `updated_at` = ''2010-03-17 05:35:00'', `view_count` = 54 WHERE `id` = 158 Googling around, I found that this is basically because the transaction times out after

Hello, I have a problem with the paperclip, I put on my GemFile gem "paperclip", "~> 2.6.0" I create a migrate class FileUpload < ActiveRecord::Migration def up change_table :projects do |t| t.has_attached_file :image end end def down drop_attached_file :projects, :image end end on my model I put class Project < ActiveRecord::Base

Le''s say that I have a table called people and the column middle_name is nullable. If the user enters say blank or empty space then in the database it is recorded as empty space. I would like in all my models all empty spaces to be recorded as null. I guess I can write a plugin which will do so for all the models but I''m sure something like that should already be existing.I

Hi, Does anyone know a good way to override AR associations to take special cases into account. My current take is the example below which allows the ''root'' user to access all products, but only works if I remember to call it with a .all/.find or similar method: ''user.products.all'' instead of ''user.products''. Ideally I guess I want to return a

I''m using Restful Authentication, and the code to create a user is pretty straight forward - there is a before_save action and a before_create action: before_save :encrypt_password before_create :make_activation_code But for some reason when I try to create a user programmatically in the controller like this: User.new(:email =>

I am having a problem finding the best way to make a "before_save :encrypt_password" conditional. I have to at times update user model attributes but each time I do this the password is reencrypted because of the above. I need to differentiate between when the user is first logging in and the password does need to be encrypted, and when they are already logged in and the
