Hey, I just put up a little rails pop-quiz on my blog (more fun than just writing a post saying "hey did you know..."). Seeing as it''s probably of interest to more than just the three people (including my wife) that actually read my blog I figured it would be okay to announce it here. http://tinyurl.com/prxdl I''ll post my answers in a followup tomorrow

Hi, I am logging users in and keeping them in session. The problem I am having is showing only a certain logged in user''s information. In the Adverts_Controler: def show @advert = Advert.find(params[:id]) end I am also having issues with saving an advert for an user: def create @advert = Advert.new(params[:advert]) if @advert.save flash[:notice] = ''Advert

Hi All, New to the group, and new to learning rails. I''m having some trouble, i''ve done a few tutorials on creating some small apps with rails and am now starting to play around myself.

Hi, I have installed the ferret gem (on WIN XP). My search and result view is working, but it comes back with empty results all the time. It seems like ferret is building the index (there is 3 binary files in the index directory). If I add the line: acts_as_ferret :fields =>

I was implementing dirty checking for an application, and I found something that is a little counterintuitive. Let me start with a quick quiz: bob=User.find(1) alice=User.find(2) trip=Trip.new trip.driver=bob old_driver=trip.driver trip.driver=alice In this example, who is old_driver? If you guessed Alice, you''re right. Inside associations.rb, the mutator is defined as:

Hi, I am thinking about how to best design a quiz site in RoR. I think it should be fairly easy, but have run into a wall. In the simplest form, the view would grab all of the questions for a particular quiz and display them (e.g. multiple choice, so 4 option buttons per question). However, I can''t figure out how to "mark" the quiz. The form is submitted to the

Dear expeRts, I would like to create a plotmath-label of the form X_1^\prime. Here is how to *not* do it [not nicely aligned symbols]: plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X*minute[1]))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X[1]*minute))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X)[1]*minute)) Any suggestions? Cheers, Marius

Today, I was looking for an elegant (and efficient) way to get a named (atomic) vector by selecting one column of a data frame. Of course, the vector names must be the rownames of the data frame. Ok, here is the quiz, I know one quite "cute"/"slick" answer, but was wondering if there are obvious better ones, and also if this should not become more idiomatic (hence

On *certain* fields in my rails forms the backgrounds are yellow. If I check the page source there is no clue as to why. However, if I *save* the page to disk and then open it in a text editor I can see that the affected fields are like: <input style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 160);" id="contact_first_name" name="contact[first_name]"

I have a real-world application with some complex queries that I want to convert to Arel (as part of an upgrade to Rails 3.1). So that I can understand what I''m doing before I flail around in my real app, I wrote a little sample app (just the models) with some similar associations -- one table joined with itself and more tables that join to another table, so there are some queries that

I’m launching a rails website, the app is written and works, undoubtedly it’ll be an unmitigated disaster when I launch but none the less I thought I’d least attempt to give myself the best chance of success by asking all the gurus here for some advice – pre launch advice if you like. In an ideal world I’d spend days and hours on all of these things and get it absolutely spot on, but as we all

I remember reading somewhere a tip on improving your search engine ranking, by forming URLs that included relevant text, e.g. www.domain.com/article/man_eats_hat. In the rails app that I''m writing, I''ve noticed I can set this up very easily by appending the post title (after downcase.split.join(''_'')) to the post link. So, blog.com/posts/4 can easily also be
