similar to: Build associated model confusion

Newbie here :) So, a friend mentioned that geokit is the way to go if I want to make a simple location based app. I basically want to make a list of locations so the app should allow me to Create a location, give it a name and an address along with the geo location information associated with it. (Geokit will take care of this last thing right?) I tried looking for sample apps but had no

I''m just curious about this, since my solution involved stubbing a call to GeoIp. Is there a good rule of thumb for when you make exceptions to the ''no stubbing'' philosophy of Cucumber? My step was: "Given I am accessing the site from Japan," but I can think of other situations - mostly when interacting with web services, that I''d probably

Hi, I would like to know if there is a library that provides an API to support map scrolling, like the one available in google maps. This is, I would like to create a user interface where the user is able to see a small part of a large map. It can then move the view, thus observing another part of the map. Additionally, I would also like to provide a zoom mechanism. Thanks in advance. --

Ok, to keep things short. Im wondering if I need a secondary relationship table to handle my many-to-one relationships. Here is an example of what I''ve written down. For instance say I want to find all of the people in a given location. class Location < AR:Base has_many :people end class Person < AR:Base belongs_to :location end My SQL tables look like: CREATE TABLE

I have the following tables setup: locations :id :name systemmessages :id :name systemmessage_validtimes :id :name :systemmessage_id :location_id :start :end The systemmessage_validtimes has a ''has_many'' relationship with systemmessages, meaning that there could be many valid times for each system message. @systemMessage = Systemmessage.find(1) E.g. I

I have two tables and a join table for them e.g. books, authors in a many to many relationship (habtm) and a join table books_authors. I can successfully search for a book that has "author.id = 2 OR author.id = 4" but I am unable to search for "author.id = 2 AND author.id = 4" This is because the result of all the joins only has one author.id column so no single row has

My web application will have to support multi language search,which means,for example,both Chinese and English will be searched through the form. Currently,I have decided to use the simple token principles,which means that every Chinese character will be a token,although this is not so well in some

I''m having trouble with a validation that depends on an attribute of a belongs_to parent. If the child is added to an unsaved parent (parent.children << new child), the has_many collection parent.children includes the unsaved child. However the belongs_to attribute child.parent appears to be nil until the parent has been saved. Without access to the parent attributes, the validation

I converted the rails geokit plugin to a merb plugin today. Anyone interested in testing it out? It seems to be working great for me. If so, where should I put it? I don''t have a blog up or anything right now. Been meaning to do that, but haven''t had the time. -Dusty Doris
