similar to: Rails base model

I meet a strange problem. I have a table name is application. So I have to use Application as the model class name. But it reports error. If I put the model class into my special module and require the file in controller, it works. But I find that all predefined methods in Active Record are no longer effective, such as validate and so on. Can you please give me some idea on this problem? Thanks .

First of all, sorry for the crossposting, but I put this into the Ruby Forum first of all, but was pointed to this as a more appropriate location.

Note that params is my database settings and omitted for

I am trying to inherit from a ActiveRecord class defined in a plugin. The problem is that ActiveRecord thinks I am doing an STI and is looking up a table that doesn''t exist. Currently, I have a method in the parent class that looks like this: def self.fix_table_name class_eval do set_table_name(Inflector.tableize(self.to_s)) end end The problem is that this method

Hi, Does anyone know much about abstract_class? Does it actually prevent instances of the class from being created? Does it disable certain methods? I already know what it''s for, but I want to know what setting self.abstract_class=true actually does. The reason I ask is that I want to use it for a slightly unorthodox purpose. I want a class who''s only attributes are its

Hi, I am in a situation where I am going to have to rewrite a working Ruby on Rails application in CakePHP with PHP5. I have a whole bunch of specs written with rspec, and I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow use these specs to test the Models and Controllers that I am rewriting in CakePHP. I am going to be basically just exactly duplicating the Rails application, with identical

My department is in a battle right now. We have some very por PHP people and very pro Rails people. The php guys make a good argument that Rails is good for new applications where we dictate the DB schema. PHP shines where we go into an existing application, or a new one where multiple databases or possibly legacy systems are involved. The PHP guys basically say Rails is good for Web 2.0

Hi all, I''m coming from the PHP world and I''m trying to learn Ruby and Rails. I''m having a problem where I keep getting the error "No route matches / home/view" even though I have it defined it.

Hey all, I have two models in my rails project that share a lot of traits. They each have the same 4 properties, and now I need to add 2-3 methods to each one that will be the same. In the spirit of DRY I am looking for a solution to write these methods only once. Both of these models already inherit from ActiveRecord . . . and I didn''t know if it was safe to just "whip up" a

It looks like cached-model is broken again under rails 1.1. Can anyone confirm? Note that the exception below indicates it''s trying to treat CachedModel as the class name of the model, rather than using the proper class name (which is Entry in this case, and the table called entries). This is a model using Single Table Inheritance and acts_as_tree, and worked just fine under 1.0 and

Hello everyone, is there anyone who got CakePHP running in his CentOS7 machine? I did it like the installation guide on cakephp.org says but I ran into file permission problems for error.log and cache configuration errors. The skeleton application is not running. Regards Tim

Hello, I''ve got a problem with the inheritance as soon as I try to use it in a model. I''ve got plenty of items which can share a lot of code, so I created a class "Item", which inherits from ActiveRecord::Base, but because it''s not a "real item" but an interface, I set it abstract (writing abstract_class? method). Then I have all the differents

Hi All, I am new to this list and to rails. So far I am loving the way in which it is easy to put together web pages with a database backend. I would love to use the rails functionality (to do the sql queries) and then process the results using some very cpu intensuve tasks. The results will take far longer than it is viable to use a web browser to view the results. I would like to see the
