So, I''ve been listing to stuff folks have been saying about the Bookman font we use. Most people like the font, but some feel there aren''t enough words/line, so your eyes move too much. So, I spent the weekend playing with typography, and I''ve come up with a compromise. The thing is: it looks good to me, but I don''t want to mess up the read for others

Heya everyone! I am quite new to Rails and I am reading AWDwR. I am at Task E "Check Out!". I understand it quite well, but I have a problem with the last playground exercise: Add a Table which contains the payment types. All goes well, but I am not sure whether I should use has_many or has_one(as in the Playground wiki at http://wiki.pragprog.com/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/PT-E-3). I use the

Folks: I''ve uplaoded the B1.05 version of AWDwR. It fixes a number of reported errata (and a few that weren''t reported :), and adds two significant changes: 1. It now uses the new Active Record decimal -> BigDecimal conversion. I''ve personally been waiting for this for a long time, and I''m really happy it''s now part of core. However,

In an early section on Action View, showing code being put directly into the rhtml file: <% require ''date'' DAY_NAMES = %w{ Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday } today = Date.today %> <h1>Hello, Dave</h1> <p> It''s <%= DAY_NAMES[today.wday] %>. Tomorrow is <%= DAY_NAMES[(today + 1).wday %>. </p> I get this

I''m working my way though Agile web development 2nd ed. I got to the part where you add test data into the database, or the 003_add_test_data file. When I ran the rake db:migrate, it seemed to work, but the database did not populate, as it didn''t show up when I called admin/list from my browser. I went into the mysql server and checked the database with the "select * from

Hello all, I''m having great trouble accessing a constant declared in a helper for one of my view templates. I am trying to create a grouped selection list based on a predefined set of values. Rather than declare this set of values in the view, I wanted to put it in the helper that automatically gets included for the view. Unfortunately, it doesn''t seem to work. All methods

Hi I''m working on the AWDWR book and I''m on the admin section of the book. I have rails 2 installed on my machine and I have ran into an error when I created my controller login but when I go to http://localhost:3000/login/index I get this error: No route matches "/login/index" with {:method=>:get} I haven''t touched the routes.rb file and when I generated

I''m getting to the point now where I really need to start trapping the errors. So from my AWDWR book, I added the following directly from the book into application.rb... def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render(:file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html",

Hello there, I am basically a J2EE refugee fascinated with Rails. I have been using the Spring framework (a lightweight J2EE java framework with some special characteristics) but I am so impressed with RoR that I am porting over many applications. In order to "dive into Rails", of course the second thing to do was get myself an IDE, and since I''ve been using Eclipse for the

I was looking at Justin Gehtland''s blog. There are instructions on getting started with Streamlined, however gems returned an error that streamlined was not in the repository. I guess Justin is putting the preparations down ? Stuart

I copied (and modified) this code from AWDWR: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render :template=>''/error'', :layout=>''application'', :status=>''404 Not Found'' else render :template=>''/error'',

Hello, A lot of discussion is going on about AWDwR 2nd ed, i have decided to write an entry about it (and R4R) after reading few chapters: http://www.rubyrailways.com/fisrt-impressions-of-awdr-2nd-ed-and-r4r/ Cheers, Peter

Following the tutorial app in Agile Rails, I''m trying to figure out the best way to get the flash notice to go away after an "Invalid product" is selected (eg. when a new, valid product is selected). This is after Task D, Chapter 9, in the 2nd Ed Beta. I''ve come close to getting to work right, but I think I may still be missing something in the control flow of

On page 118, file store_controller.rb, the "redirect_to_index" is added. At mid page 120, that line is removed. When the browser is first sent to the ":3000/store", the page displays properly. But when the Add to Cart button is clicked, the browser displays the text of a try-catch block (see below). There is no error message - the browser clearly sees text to be displayed. If I

When we announced the second edition of Agile Web Development with Rails back in May, we pretty much killed the sales of the first edition paper book. So now, with the second edition just a few months away, we need to clear out some space. So, if you''d like to pick up a first edition paper book, they''re going (while stocks last) for $12.50 (plus shipping) from
