similar to: setting a session variable, :value and :session_path

I retrieve it by doing the following: def

Hi everyone, I''ve been working on some code which will take params and turn them into a WHERE clause for the :conditions option in finder methods. So far I''ve been able to do some very simple text matching. I''d like to be able to support ranges, and then go from there (in fact I''ve added code for date ranges but I''m embarrassed of it so I

Hi everyone, Does Ruby support variable variables like PHP (http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php)? Or do I have to use eval, like some_hash.each_pair{|key, pair| eval "#{key} = #{value}" } Or is there some other way? I''m actually trying to figure this out in order to use ez_where to create its conditions from a hash, so if this isn''t even

This is of course disallowed, which I discovered only after nearly completing my spanking new ajaxified UI. What is the motivation behind this, and what is the best workaround? This UI does a scriptaculous drag-and-drop of items from a first div (div1) over to a second div (div2), which triggers the contents of div2 to be updated to reflect the drop. No prob, thus far. But then the

Hello * Obviously the rhtml below does not work, but it should be apparent what I try to achieve - I would like to give the user the choice to submit a form either to action1 or action2 but I cannot figure out how?!

Hi, I''ve got a TimeStamp field in MySql and want to use the hour and minutes in the value. for example: StartTime = Schedule.find(action2.ScheduleID).DateTimeStart.to_s That returns "Mon Feb 20 08:00:00 Romance Standard Time 2006" How do I get 08:00 returned ??

Hi, How do I pass a variable from my action into a model before saving the model. I''d like the model instance to have access to this variable to do some work before saving the model instance but the variable is not part of the model itself. Thanks, Sam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m calling a helper I''ve written - format_time() that is called from my views with a given time that was selected from my database and was returned to the view via an instance variable. When I call format_time from a partial, I see that I get some kind of String error and the partial won''t render. Basically, the object being passed in to format_time is already a

Hi, I''m developing a dashboard like page and basically want to combine the result of multiple actions on a page. I''ve done this so far: def index r1 = render_to_string :action => "action1" r2 = render_to_string :action => "action2" render :text => r1+r2 end This works, but now I want to render from other controllers and this is where

Hi All! I''m searching a good way to set some options in my Controllers; I tried defining a custom function, ie: class PeopleController < ApplicationController set_my_actions :action1, :action2 end class ApplicationController def self.set_my_actions(*args) @@my_actions = args end end But ''@@my_actions'' sets the class variable to _every_

I setup a form_remote_tag with several submit buttons, all of them share the same name ( ''do_action'' ) and their values differ. eg. button1 named do_action with value ACTION1 button2 named do_action with value ACTION2, etc No matter which button I press the value passed is always the one defined for the first of these buttons ( the correct value associated with the pressed

Hi there I am wondering if we can use before_filter in the form of :action OR :action what i want to do is to implement one of the actions, if the first failed, then go to the second when i use before_filter :action1 before_filter :action2 each method will run them, my case is that i want to check if one of them is true and not both any idea?

Suppose I have a table ''items'' with the attribute ''bool'' which is boolean. There''s an array @attribs which holds :bool and some other symbols of attributes which are not boolean. class Item < ActiveRecord::Base { def attribs [:bool , :x , :y] end } The trouble is that @item.bool? and @item.bool behave differently. If I set @item.bool=5

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew what ''<some type> expected, got Fixnum'' means?

I have been messing with this all night, and can''t figure out what''s going wrong here. I have a test that renders the view, and then a shared behavior checks "response" for the various tags from a rails layout. The problem is matching. If I run in the browser the page renders fine. Is there a way to output what the response contains? Here are my tests: describe

Hello everyone, I am new to rails and I am having some trouble getting the Devise authorization plugin working. I can get the login page to display, but when I enter the credentials for a known user (I seeded an account to the database) it just says "Invalid email or password," even though I''m 100% sure I entered the right information, and redirects me to the login form.
