I''ve just stumbled (literally, while I was trying to fix a glitch I was having after upgrading Aegis...) on the Inherited Resources gem... why did no-one tell me?! ;-) Is everyone else using some form of controller base-class?

Hi I''m a big fan of plugins such as Resource Controller http://jamesgolick.com/2007/10/19/introducing-resource_controller-focus-on-what-makes-your-controller-special However, recently decided I don''t want to depend on a plugin for this, and would rather stick closer to the rails core. So does anyone have any cool strategies or ideas for achieving this? Or is there any move to

Hey guys, I''m quite new in RoR, so please excuse me when I may ask weird questions. I am working on a database frontend. The layout looks mostly like a has_many bs b has_many cs c has_many ds and so on. Now I want to do some selection. Maybe I want to see all ds belonging to a specific b. I would like to do it like: http://my.host/bs/1/ds When I click around there (add new ds, show a d

I just discovered James Golick''s resource_controller plugin http://jamesgolick.com/resource_controller after spending another stretch of boredom making the changes to nest yet another rails resource controller. I''d actually slowed down this time to think about what I was doing in hopes of automating the task. I''ve tended to use script/generate rspec_scaffold to get

Hi, Not sure if there is a better place to post this. The libxml-ruby mailing list doesn''t have much activity. We are getting occasional errors on our production box, that I can''t duplicate in testing. It''s not even reproducible on the production box with the same inputs, but I''ve managed to track down (via a lot of print statements into the Apache

I am extremely proud to put the code up live for make_resourceful! I have been astonished by the positive feedback I''ve been receiving since our talk at this year''s RailsConf. So much pressure to get this thing out! If you haven''t heard about it... then check out my slides from railsconf http://www.hamptoncatlin.com/assets/2007/5/21/make_resourceful.pdf or listen to the

Hi, I''m developing a RESTful Rails application whose code and specs are becoming increasingly repetitive: every controller does pretty much the same set of things (give or take the occasional twiddle), for example, and so every controller spec is almost identical modulo some names, constants and strings. The make_resourceful plugin, which autogenerates the boilerplate REST

Hi, I just have a "best practices" question. I''d like to block users that don''t own a particular resource from performing edit/update/ destroy actions on it. Here''s how I currently do it: ## User has many resources, of different types ------- resource_controller.rb ------- before_filter :require_ownership, :only => [:edit, :update, :destroy] ... public

Hello all. #1 I am working on a rails3 gem called Yarder (https://github.com/rurounijones/yarder). The goal of this gem is to replace the rails logging system with one that is JSON based rather than string based. #2 To this end I also recently asked this list about making the LogSubscribers subscriptions to ActiveRecord::Notifications configurable and am looking at submitting a patch

I know its probably doesnt sound right, but I am trying to call a before_filter method that will check whats the user role and then based on that return a string / hash / array to the before_filter something like this: class MonqiClassesController < ResourceController::Base before_filter :check_user_access_level , grant_access def check_user_access_level if

If it helps anyone developing Rails, apps, or gems, I wrote a shortcut for set_trace_func, so next time you want to just add a line before and after some function you are trying to debug you can have Ruby temporarily output every line, method, etc. executed. Also, it lets you define the format, use other loggers, etc. via a proc/lambda define, since you might not like the default format.

Hi, Does anyone know how to include nested associations when overriding a model''s #as_json method? Below is my attempt to include direct and nested associations.
