similar to: What is the meaning of the method to_param?

Hi, I have just commited a patch for ActionController''s #dom_id, it should iternally use AR#to_param instead of AR#id, because #to_param is used for routing representation of an ActiveRecord inside ActionPack.

When using named RESTful routes, when should one use the generated ..._path helpers, and when the ..._url helpers? Say I did this in routes.rb: map.resources :users Where should I use users_path, new_user_path, etc., and where should I use users_url, new_user_url...? Thanks!

I am using prototype to create modal popups for my login and register pages, but the fields are populating with the data from certain variables. For example, I have a show page that finds a user like so: @user = User.find(params[:id]) and my form uses: <% form_for :user, :url => users_path do |f| -%> so it is populating the form with the data from @user. Should I rename the @user

There are areas of my application that "want" to use a url structure like domain/<human_readable_param>/<Module>/<Controller>/<Action>/<Id> Please note that the human readable parameter I need to inject is NOT related to the <id> being used by the action/controller pair. It''s identifying a container object whose contains are operated

Hi folks, I''m in the process of converting a Test::Unit functional test to RSpec, but I''ve run into a slight problem.

I''ve got rspec and zentest installed as well as the rspec rails plugin, and my model/controller specs all pass and work well.

My problem: Mock ''Task_1005'' received unexpected message :user_id= with (1) No matter what I do to try to stub that out it will still fail out and give me that message.

I am a little confused to the what happens with the following: before do @site = mock_model(Site, :to_param => "1") Site.stub!(:new).and_return(@site) end def post_with_successful_save @site.should_receive(:save).and_return(true) post :create, :site => {} end I understand that the "@site.should_receive(:save)..." places a check to whether the

Does anyone know if it is possible to perform an ActiveRecord find by passing in an array? I would like to be able to do the following: MyModel.find(:all, :conditions => ["user_id in (?)", users]) The problem I run into is that the returned SQL contains the to_s() output of the User object, not the ids of those users. Is it possible to change this behavior? I attempted to
