served piping hot fresh from my svn repo: http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/mongrel/mongrel_send_file/README == mongrel_send_file GemPlugin This is a simple plugin to handle the sending of secure files from a rails app. Here''s the typical process: - Rails app authorizes user to download file - Rails app sets file info in the session, redirects to custom URL like

Hi. I get a RecordNotSaved exception when trying to create a user record. The error: User Columns (0.005930) SHOW FIELDS FROM users SQL (0.000465) BEGIN SQL (0.000466) COMMIT ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved (ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved): ... As you can see, there''s no INSERT SQL generated, which is the root cause of the problem. In my user model, I have the following

I beat my head against a wall for almost 2 hours with this issue. My first problem was easily solved. I wanted a class that could use ActiveRecord''s validation capabilities but without using a table behind it (I would be persisting setup information in the session, but the initial setup parameters come from a user input form) No problem...found this link which got me up and running

So, I sat down to use set_fixture_class, and it bombed on the first thing I tried: set_fixture_class :content_drafts => "Article::Draft" I made a quick patch, and I''d appreciate a quick run through your tests to make sure it doesn''t disturb anything: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4095 As I was typing this, I realized that the string gives us no benefits. I

Search doesn''t seem to be working, so forgive me if I''m covering old ground here, but I''m having a difficult time figuring out how to implement a "SUM()" function using Active record. Obviously, I could just create a query, but I''d rather make it part of my active record object. Basically I have an object called "Report <

I started actually using the upload progress handler, and noticed it was leaking memory over time. Looking at the code, I noticed that cancelled uploads weren''t being cleaned up. I bugged Zed about adding a request_abort callback to handlers, but I found a simple way to monkey patch that in: # config/mongrel_upload_progress.conf # yes, this file is being used with -S meaning

Hi everyone. I''ve made a default change to has_many :through associations that I felt was important to make before they''re released. This is after some tickets and confusion I''ve seen regarding has_many :through. class Connection < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user belongs_to :channel end class Channel < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :connections

Ive followed this example of how to validate a form with a tableless model: http://rails.techno-weenie.net/tip/2005/11/19/validate_your_forms_with_a_table_less_model Ive got this example working but when validation fails the failed boxes are not highlighted in red. At the moment i have a contact details form and want to validate the information entered by the user but this will just result

Hello guys, I''m trying to return a custom JSON response to a client frontend. The object I''m trying to return is a User, with some associated Locale data. So basically I need to put the User data and his Locale in a "data" property in the JSON response. If this worked, it would be perfect: json = Hash.new json[:success] = false json[:data] = User.find(params[:id],

Hey guys, I''ve been hacking on the upload progress stuff that _why started. I started a backpack page if anyone''s interested. http://technoweenie.backpackit.com/pub/602283 If you want access to the files, send me your backpack email. -- Rick Olson http://techno-weenie.net

Merbists, I saw a note in the attachment_fu source code regarding supporting Merb[1] as well as a post on the Caboose forum[2]. Has anyone gotten Merb working with Rick Olson''s attachment_fu to handle uploads for a Rails app? I''ve hacked together something, but it''s not pretty. Besides fixing the TODO mentioned in the attachment_fu source code to support Merb

There is a reason the controller is called *controller*. The controller should be making this type of decision. I would do it this way: Class FooController < ApplicationController def bar @side_nav = :display_admin End def baz @side_nav = :hide_admin EndEnd In the view: <% if @side_nav == :display_admin %> ... <% end %> In your application controller, you can set

Hi, I am trying to convert a hash to JSON using ActiveSupports built in .to_json. I am doing similar to the example below but are there certain strings that could go in place of ''bar'' or ''rez'' that will break the to_json method? I am using a very long string from rjs output in place of ''bar''. Perhaps .to_json is not ready yet? Thanks, Peter

I installed the JSON gem because I wanted the JSON parser. Before installing the JSON gem, overloading worked fine. Before I remove it, I''d like to see if anyone has an idea of what is going on. It''s the only JSON parser I''m aware of, so it would be a bummer if it didn''t work. After installing, if I overload the to_json method in the class, it gives me the

Either I''m not understanding how things are used, or this might be a bug in ActiveRecord. I''m using version 1.13.2. In my version of activerecord/lib/active_record/validations.rb (the svn trunk version is browsable at http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/activerecord/lib/active_record/validations.rb ), I have: def update_attribute_with_validation_skipping(name,

please help me get this plugin installed... I have no access to techo-weenie.net due to a firewall blocking the weenie crap in its domain name. more specifically, i''m trying to do this: script/plugin install http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins and it bombs. On a machine w/ access to this repository, I did an svn checkout and tar''d up the contents... then

I have two models, Stop and Station, they relate one station to many stops. Stop has_one :station Station belongs_to :stop So I can do @station.stops, but I cant do @stop.station, is this right? For example in the view I have: <% for @stop in @stops %> <tr> <td><%= @stop.station.name %></td> <td><%= @stop.time.hour.to_s + '':''

The way Rails handles root nodes in JSON and XML serialization is inconsistent. This has been discussed before: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2584-232-activeresource-json-doesnt-send-parameters-with-root-node This seems mostly taken care of with ActiveModel::Base.include_root_in_json, especially if/when it ends up in ActiveResource. However, there is also the issue of how

Hello, I was wondering if there was a method in Rails that returns the sum of a column. For example, I have a column called ''score'' and writing a SQL statement such a ''select sum(score) from table_name'' does return the sum of the values in the column. In the past (not too long ago being a newbie), I defined all sorts of methods only to discover that Rails

I am using Rails 2.0.2 and trying to use to_json to generate json. I notice several problems. 1) datetime field such as created_at mapped to "created_at": {} 2) :except does not work, @post.to_json(:except => [:created_at, :updated_at] still gives me "created_at": {}, "update_at": {} 3) problem with escaped char mapping: ''<'' mapped to
