Hi, Is there any default way to model something like the following situation in ActiveRecord?: A company has_many :buildings which are associated to :company, e.g. in a polymorphic way. Moreover one and only one of the buildings is the company''s headquarter. Thinking in terms of the database, I''d prefer to add an owning association, an thus have a has_many :buildings plus a

So I got CanCan and Devise working well. I have two types of users: Admins and Nonadmins. Admins can edit all of Nonadmins profiles. The problem is, every user (either Admin or Nonadmin) belongs to an Account or Organization. Admins should only be able to edit users from their own Account or Organization. I was able to do that too. The problem is, I can''t display the Create New User

Hi all, I just installed cancan on a new project and found out that it creates some problems with the new scoped mass assignment features of rails 3.2 . Basically, in my User model I create some attr_accessible attributes in order to avoid users to edit their roles or other sensitive information. From the administration I allow admins to edit those protected attributes by passing

I successfully made login system with Devise and CanCan, and I have 3 types of users. Admin, internal and global users. I created Controllers and index actions: Admin, Cpanel, Report and State, and I want to restrict access to this controllers for some users. Admin user should have privilegies to access: Reports(all), State (read), Admin (all) Global user should have privilegies to access:

Is it possible to write activex controls and windows DLLs in ruby? I would like to have some of my logic be usable from VB (don''t ask why). Thanks.

Hi After having updated some GEMS I get `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Cache (NameError) on starting the server of a freshly generated rails project. Before, I already had Rails 2.3.2 projects succesfully running, now all of them generate this error. These are my GEMS: actionmailer (2.3.2, 2.2.2, 2.1.2, 2.1.1, 2.1.0) actionpack (2.3.2, 2.2.2, 2.1.2,

Hi all, I am facing problem in getting subdomain name inside the model. The following is my setup. I am using cancan for authorization.I wanted a specific condition in Ability.rb ( the file which is placed in models if we install cancan gem).

In part of my application I''m using dynamic tables. I''m aware of the single thread conditions. I''ve tackled some caveats yet - will post a blog about it soon - but there''s one I need help with. Consider 2 models that are associated: Order and OrderLine where Order has many order_lines. Now we set the table names for them:

Hello I have a rails 3 app and I am trying to implement the redirect back action at access denied for cancan. If I try this in my application_controller: rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception| redirect_to :back end It gives the following error: No HTTP_REFERER was set in the request to this action, so redirect_to :back could not be called successfully. If this is a test, make sure

I''m doing RSpec controller testing with CanCan authorization, and I''m seeing something I''ve never seen in RSpec before: the same test run twice fails on the second one. I am NOT doing before(:all) or other things that should cause state to persist between tests: Here''s the relevant code: context "POST create" do context "with user logged

Hi, surely I''m missing something... but what!? in my spec I''ve User.should_receive(:find).with("1").and_return(@user) and in my controller User.find(params[:id]) green light... correct... but if I change my controller using another method, for example first: User.first or even User.all I get green light too...

Hello, I''ve been using cbq''s "weight" parameter to influence distribution of excess bandwidth among sibling classes. Does htb offer something similar? So far I think that - you either use priorities - then excess bandwidth is offered to higher priority classes first, the rest (if any) is distributed among lower priority classes - or you don''t use

Hello all I am wondering how rails handles case sensitivity in databases. If I do a Person.find_all_by_name("tim") in mysql I would expect to get tim, TIm, and Tim. Do I only get tim in postgres? How do other people deal with this? Do you resort to find_by_sql for all your postgres queries to get case insensitive results?

In an app where ordinary users are limited to viewing and editing their own "stuff", but someone with admin privs can view and edit anybody''s stuff, what''s the right strategy for routing? At first blush, I''d think that an ordinary user (e.g. with id 565) should see something like: http://example.com/mystuff.html ... where the controller assumes

There seems to be a bug when deploying a rails application developed in windows to a linux box. The rake deploy command attempts to run the command "/install/path/current/script/process/reaper" but the files do not have the execute bit set. What can I do to make sure either the execute bit is run or prepend the command with sh or ruby? Thanks.
