I just switched from using the standard "id" column into using my own primary key and generating my own unique id for each record. But, this breaks acts_as_tree. Because my new primary key is not an integer, it breaks the SQL query as follows: StatementInvalid in PagesController#create --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to isolate and spec methods that are shared by controllers, and live in application.rb. Whereas I usually also provide examples in individual controllers that use these methods, not necessarily all the edge cases and I''d like to isolate the examples. This is the approach I''m taking (thanks to bryanl for suggestions and http://pastie.caboo.se/123626). WDYT? This

Hi, I have a situation I''m hoping someone out there may be able to shed some light on.

I am trying to read some information based on a user id, then search the database for the needed info and build an XML file. Everything seems to be working fine; I read the info, I create the xml and even spit "stuff" out to file.

There''s a number of calls in the Rails source to convert_to_model, which takes an activerecord object instance: convert_to_model(object) Here''s the thing. All convert_to_model does is calls to_model, which returns self (the ActiveModel instance). Am I missing something here? Why call a method that returns the same thing? @user => #<User id: 3, name:

Hi folks: I am a SQL guy who just downloaded and installed R yesterday. I am trying to evaluate some "complex" aggregations we are currently performing with Syncsort (and have tried in Oracle) with R.
