I have a model ''xp_jurisdiction_taxes'' which rails (3) created correctly. Another model ''xp_jurisdiction_states'' has many :xp_jurisdiction_taxes.

I am getting the month and day reversed in parsing a date. I am wondering if there is some intelligence in Ruby that knows that at the moment I am in Mexico, as the parsing is working as if I was "6/15/2008".to_date => ArgumentError: invalid date "15/6/2008".to_date => Sun, 15 Jun 2008 What I really want is my date to be understood as month/day/year. Is there a way to

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the

Hi all! I have come into a strange issue in Rails that I am hoping someone can shed some light. To make a very long story short, I have been researching how to override ActiveRecord::Base#read_attribute and write_attribute to perform security checks at the model level (influenced by the ModelSecurity generator). Shortly after implementing some code to check this behavior, I began to

Hi everyone, I would like to ask you why should I use Ruby on Rails? And I have a silly question hope I can answer it, is it true that the creators of ruby on Rails are gay? I''ve just read that and want to make sure.

Been trying out Macvim and I think I have covered most of what I used in other editors except for how to handle global searches and replaces for text in files (i.e. not looking for file names, but search and replace text within all files below a specific directory). Can anyone who uses MacVim tell me what they use for such tasks? I have been poking around and see :grep as the main method, although

Hi All, Is there a way to filter / modify the output of a model class before it''s returned to controller/view that''s calling it?

All, Has anyone seen this - I am getting the following deprecation warning when running my functional tests under rails 2.3.8 (just moved an app from 2.3.4 up to 2.3.8 in prep to move to Rails 3 --- if you think this problem is solved in Rails 3 then let me know): The {{key}} interpolation syntax in I18n messages is deprecated. Please use %{key} instead. I have isolated the problem to the

Hello all, I''ve been trying to use a facade column but I notice that the form helpers don''t seem to respect the facade. In the following example I''m trying to story the prices as Integer values but present them to the user as decimals. class Product < ActiveRecord::Base def price=(new_price) write_attribute(:price, Float(new_price)*100) end def price

This seems like it must have been asked before - I really _did_ try to find it in the archives, so my apologies if it''s already out there. Utilizing ActiveRecord, I would like to specify a prefix for the column names in my table. For example, in ''Recipe 16 Integrating with Legacy Databases'' (Rails Recipes, from PragProg, by Fowler) they deal with integration with a

(Ruby 1.9.2) I have a simple validation regex which I need to pass the following values: "Billy-Bob" and "O''Kelley" (as test cases). Originally I was not allowing apostrophe but it became apparent I had to allow it. The initial regex was: /^[a-zA-Z -]*$/ Now, when I added the apostrophe like this: /^[a-zA-Z'' -'']*$/ Then for some reason

Hi, I''m looking for a way to extend one of my models to allow some level of abstraction between what goes into it and how it is stored. For example, say I have a Product and I want to set it''s price. A person using the website will type the price in euros. Internally, I''d like to store the price as an integer value of cents. I can currently do this with some ugly code

The following code works locally (parsing a CSV with specific headers) but when on Heroku I get the following error on the ''next if'' row: TypeError (can''t convert String into Integer) CSV.parse(File.open(file_path, ''r'').read.gsub(/"/, ''''), :headers => true) do |row| next if row[''Customer'']

Are migrations used only when you''re making changes to a database?
