similar to: Different behaviour on ActiveResorce with JSON or XML

Hi, I''m using Rails 2.1.2. and I wanted to switch ActiveResource format to JSON and thought that it will work smoothly, but unfortunately it wasn''t the case. XML and JSON formats generate different objects: XML version #<User:0xb7658440 @prefix_options={}, @attributes={"created_at"=>Mon Nov 28 11...}> JSON version #<User:0xb746af5c @prefix_options={},

instantiate_record calls new, and new implicitly calls initialize (unless I''m not understanding the mystery) In base.rb def instantiate_record(record, prefix_options = {}) new(record, true).tap do |resource| resource.prefix_options = prefix_options end end As it''s written get an ArgumentError as this calls new(record, true). If I change the code in base.rb to the

Hi I''d like to know how to have ActiveResource generate a URL for the /teams/1/edit type of resource. I''ve got custom_methods.rb and have used Team.find(1).get(:edit) This generates http://localhost:xxxx/teams/1/edit.xml But all I get returned is a hash of the attributes (in this case of team 1), rather than an object of team 1. In other words the

Hi! I use Devise and Basic HTTP Authentication to access user areas from a mobile app. When the user enters its details in the app and it tries to "login" (you don''t actually login with basic auth as you send the credentials with each request) I want to get a response back with the user info, like user ID, email (not password) etc. - So, is there a way to do this out of

I''ve created this class that overrides methods for find,delete,destroy,reload, and save in activeresource. The code populates a local memcache daemon and uses that cache for future find requests. I''m posting it here to get whatever feedback people have. I''m most interested in the pro/con of inheritance over a mixin and how such a module might be tested. $ cat

Hi, I would like to import a serialized object (from a JSON export) inside my database. It work fine if for instance I do: >> l = Yea.create(:title => "foo bar") => #<Yea id: 3, title: "foo bar", created_at: "2010-07-05 21:44:54", updated_at: "2010-07-05 21:44:54"> >> j = l.to_json =>

With a has_one/belongs_to relationship, what''s the best way to guarantee that the belongs_to object gets created and is accessible alongside the has_one object? I *think* the after_create callback is a good choice, but I discovered an oddity while trying it. F''rinstance, if every horse has a carriage: ============ ActiveRecord::Schema.define do create_table(:horses) {|t|

Hi, I''m having some problem with getting collection_select to return the current value when editing a record. According to everything I''ve seen, there was an issue but it''s been fixed, but I can''t figure out why it isn''t returning the current value as a selected option. I''ve checked the table structures, and both the call_driver.product_line_id

Anyone have an idea on this? Got a weird situation where on a specific model I can not create an instance using params, yet it works fine on other models. The model which does not work is a stock model, there is no logic in it. Ruby 1.8.7/Rails 3.0.5. Does not work: (rdb:1) PaymentTransaction.create(:purchase_id => 3) #<PaymentTransaction id: 2, purchase_id: nil, action: nil, amount: nil,

Hello, I''m just starting out with some Rails development and have the following table structure. I understand how to do a two table has many join but I actually need to relate a third table. Here is my structure: components id name updated_at elements id name updated_at element_types id name updated_at components_elements component_id element_id

I was reading a book and following the instructions in it. >> class Story < ActiveRecord::Base; end => nil >> story = Story.new => #<Story id: nil, name: nil, url: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil> >> story.class => Story(id: integer, name: string, link: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime) I do not remember me asking for id, name, link or

Hi, Thanks for a wonderful Getting Started with Rails. I am up to the last section and just added the comments part. So while testing and looking over comments_controller.rb; I see the reference to post_comment_url calll where is this defined. Below is the message I am getting. Thanks ActionController::RoutingError (post_comment_url failed to generate from {:post_id=>#<Post id: 1, name:

First, BRAVO for this wonderful plugin: has_many_polymorphs ! Now my problem: 4 models : Collection, Page, Fragment, Belonging (which is the join table): 1 class Collection < ActiveRecord::Base 2 has_many_polymorphs :elements, 3 :through => :belongings, 4 :from => [:pages, :fragments, :collections], 5 :as => :collector, 6 :parent_order =>

I am trying to speed up some DB operations and perhaps have gone overboard with indexes. Does MySQL usually use only one index per query and simply match keys on the results of the indexed first part? For example: DELETE FROM tokens WHERE 6813946236211560448 <= fnv AND fnv < 6818449835838930944 AND updated_at<''2010-06-20 14:08:55'' AND occurrences=0; If I understand

Using centos 6 with puppet-2.6.17 with thin_storeconfigs with mysql and nagios exported resources. Every time an agent connects to the master, the updated_at column in the hosts table is updated. However, the updated_at column in the other tables is not updated even when I alter a nagios resource attribute like retry_check_interval. What are the conditions by which the updated_at column is

Hi Is there any way to temporarily stop the updated_at field from being updated when a record is modified with ActiveRecord? I have a date field which is keeping track of when the record data was last checked by my application and my app manually updates it, of course when I do this the updated_at field is also touched making it fairly useless for finding out when the actual data was changed

I am creating a rails app that is a gui wraping a restful web service that uses a websso for authentication. This websso sets a series of headers that I need to pass from the request to the ActiveResource.find methods. As this is stuff like username etc it is going to be different for each request. I can find examples on how to set headers for all requests not just one. Does anyone know of a way

I''m trying to display a list of pages in xml. I want to change page.update_at to distance_of_time_in_words_to_now. However whenever I run it I get an error saying: undefined method `distance_of_time_in_words_to_now'' I know I can just go the rails api and copy the source, but there must be another way. def list @page = Page.find(:all, :order => "updated_at desc")
