similar to: Rails 3.1 - Scaffolding Files

Hello everyone! Ive been on rails for the last month or so and really enjoyed this framework. However its very hard to find documentation on how to do things right! For example every beginner after a while realizes that having similar CRUD actions in every controller and views for them is not DRY at all! Few days ago I found http://dereksivers.com/rails-shared-controller.html I quite like his

i have these two really similar methods in my addressbook controller. def edit_company @company = Company.find(params[:id]) if request.post? and @company.update_attributes(params[:company]) flash[:notice] = ''Company was successfully edited.'' redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @company end end def edit_person

In my user_sessions_controller: class UserSessionsController < ApplicationController before_filter :require_no_user, :only => [:create, :new] before_filter :require_user, :only => :destroy def new @user_session = UserSession.new @message = "Hello." end def create @user_session = UserSession.new(params[:user_session]) if @user_session.save

I''m doing very well with the Hibbs Rolling on Rails tutorial. I have an easy question for my personal notes. I''m coming up with a simple framework of steps for creating a basic database. It includes the following maxims to make original app creation easy: app_name = MySQL database name SQL_tablename = model_name model_name = controller-name Is this going to work for getting

I was looking at my controller code and the edit/create/update/new for each are practically identical. So first I DRY''d the four methods in each controller to just one and then I decided to write a single macro for all my controllers. This is the macro: def self.edit_action_for(model, options = {}) model_class = Object.const_get(model) define_method(:edit) do

ZOMG HAPPY TUESDAY (UTC-7)!!! <3<3<3<3<3 I am happy to announce that the first release candidate for Rails 3.0.6 has been pushed to rubygems.org. ## Release Candidate: What does it mean? The release candidate is very similar to what we will actually release for version 3.0.6. The reason that we release an RC is so that the community can have a chance to postpone or veto commits

I''m trying to get a collection_select generated Drop-down box to display two fields from a table (first name & last name); however, I am having trouble concatenating the symbols. It appears as though any code I put in the 5th argument for collection_select is processed prior to executing the collection_select method. The code executes successfully with 1 symbol in the 5th

I have been getting this error message on various pages, just wondering if anyone could explain whats going wrong, and the best way to correct it code that is cuasing the problem is below @project = Project.find(:first, :conditions => "id = " + @purchaseorder.project_id) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi, This should be really simple, but i cant seem to find the answer anywhere!! In my _form.rhtml I have the following text field, how can I define a default value? <%= text_field ''purchaseorder'', ''number'' %> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

In ActionDispatch::PolymorphicRoutes, there is a call to build_named_route_call an on line 172 (of latest rails code from github), there is a call to singular_route_key: model_name_from_record_or_class(parent).singular_route_key Now model_name_from_record_or_class returns an ActiveModel::Name object, which is a wrapper to the string class, that returns a string name of the class of an

This is pretty much the same as last time around, if you recall. Thanks to Wilson for converting to the new form. I''ve added a few lines. Basically, it iterates over your model associations and does two things. - First, just try to call the association. Usually fixes speeling erors or other such silliness. - Second, try to find a record with an :include on the association. This

I use file_column and it works fine. I tried to change the store_dir to a the path I want my files to be stored and not the default. I stored some images fine. But when I try to reach my images it seems like file_column uses the model_name/attribute_name on the image and not the store_dir I used. How can I change this ? Thanks in advance -- Alexander Antonakakis

Hi, I''d like to do a "find_by_sql" without a model (e.g. <model name>.find_by_sql("...")) as the results I get back are a once off special, and I''m happy to handle them as an array. How do I do this? "ActiveRecord::Base.find_by_sql(...)" does not seem to work? Background - At the moment I''m doing within a model <model_name>,

I''m working on a library similar to acts_as_taggable. I''d like it to be a simple, one file drop-in: i.e., put my_library.rb into RAILSROOT/lib/ and have everything work. However, the library requires a controller to render some stuff, so I need to be able to create the controller class, set the routing, and extend the controller at run-time from within my_library.rb. I have code

Hi, I have a simple program that tries to do something really basic. First, I have a company Model : ------------------------------------- class Company < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :billingAddress, :foreign_key=>"id", :class_name=>"Address" end Then I have the address Model : -------------------------------------- class Address< ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to

I am new to Ruby on Rails and have a very simple foreign key example that is driving me nuts. I am using Rails 3 under Windows Vista and have two tables: users and user_comments. user_comments.user_id should point to the user a comment is about. In my show view for user I have a link to the new method of user_comments to allow a comment to be created. This throws: Showing

In a Rails controller I set the scope on a model class in an around filter. I have defined expectations on the model classes, and ideally, I would add a further expectation for the scope. Is this already possible in some way? How would I go about adding support a scope expectation? Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/

Hi! I know that there are other topics about this issue, I read them and I''m always blocked. Here is the error message: undefined method `model_name'' for NilClass:Class Extracted source (around line #30): 27: 28: <h2>Add Translation</h2> 29: 30: <%= form_for @new_trad do |f| %> 31: Locale: <%= f.text_field :locale %> 32: Key : <%=

Hi all, I know this is a long shot, but could renaming the "Journey" module please be considered by those in a position to support it? I''ve written an issue on this in the journey repo also: https://github.com/rails/journey/issues/49 Essentially our project has a model named Journey, the same as Rails 3.2''s new routing driver. As a consequence we can no longer
