I have the following validation code, however it will allow variations in case. Like ''Admin'' and ''admiN'', etc validates_exclusion_of :login, :in => %w( admin ), :message => "is reserved for system accounts" how can I make this validation case insensitive? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

What have I missed I have a .rhtml with the sandard form parameters <%= image_submit_tag("excel.gif", :alt => "Download List to Excel", :border => 0, :name => ''render_action'', :value => ''excel'' ) %> Which genenerates I believe a valid html fragment for a submit button. <input alt="Download List to Excel"

Hello Campers! Is it just me or does Camping init the session twice on a redirect? If I have an app and when the user visits it for the first time, a session is generated. Afterwards I redirect the user in a service (that basically does auth) and he gets bounced to the login page - but when I arrive at the login page my SID somehow has changed :-( so there is a stale session dangling

Looks like I have skipped on this, but still - a couple of questions: 1) Why there suddenly is an OrderedHash in ActiveSupport? (this glaring omission from ruby core is present in many apps already) 2) Why it doesn''t match the semantics of Hash respectively? 3) Why it''s #nodoc ? -- Julian ''Julik'' Tarkhanov please send all personal mail to me at julik.nl

I''m really hitting a wall here. My program has a search engine, returns a list of results. I am using a two-dimensional hash to pass the form data back to my controller. (i.e. params[:job] => {:description => "xxx", :location => "xxx", company => "xxx"}) I use that Job object to search my database, and then wait for user input. Now when the

If I were to serve files, would send_file via rails be slow? I think they will be 200mb avi files. Would it be better to send them via /public ? But I would like to track the clicks on each file - which makes me think that I can''t serve them out on /public as those clicks will not go through my application. Any help or suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey, campineros. And many good handshakes to zimbatm for getting some patches applied. So, yeah, I''d really like to get rid of any serious dependancies with this 1.6 release. Anything that''s not in stdlib has to go. Of course, camping-omnibus will still assume the whole ActiveRecord, Markaby, Mongrel setup that''s in the history books. Metaid can be removed and

I wonder - do we have some helper/processor/gem to automatically convert all URLs in a passed string to their canonical equivalent - i.e. with the protocol, host and such prepended based on the Rails environment. Super-duper infty for RSS feeds (I hate their requirement for canonical URLs everywhere). -- Julian ''Julik'' Tarkhanov please send all personal mail to me at

I have a <ul> that contains a number of list items, and I''m using the sortable_element helper to reorder then via drag-and-drop. This works great, however, when I insert a new <li> into the <ul> with Ajax, the sortable_element doesn''t know about it. Is there a way to refresh this collection? Thanks for any help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to use Camping from Magnus'' repo (1.9.300) but running the blog.rb example (or anything for that matter) gives me Rack::Lint::LintError at / Content-Length header was 0, but should be 548 Ruby C:/ruby-1.8.7/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rack-0.9.1/lib/rack/lint.rb: in assert, line 16 Web GET localhost/ There are no errors on the camping output so I suspect something has

I haven''t had a chance to work on fixing multiple controller view paths recently. My original patch attempt was: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8582 It was rejected due to the fact that it was fixing the symptom more than the problem. However, I think it''s critical that this problem get fixed, otherwise the whole concept of view_paths is severely neutered and

Hello everyone! Pushing my new rails project I stumbled upon some weird problem. I cannot force WeBRICK to show me my MySQL records in UTF-8. All I recieve into the object (instead of russian letters) are question marks (a la ?????? style). I am running MySQL 4.1 (the one with switchable charsets) and a binary Ruby extension for it, all on OSX. To me it looks like MySQL never recieves what I

Hi, I''m a newcomer to Ruby and to Rails, and am having a problem with character encoding. Now, I know ruby doesn''t handle unicode...but, characters like ? (eacute) and ? (ccedil) are part of the iso-8859-1 charset, so it shouldn''t be a problem, right? But, for some reason, the string functions still seem to hang on those characters. As an example, in a brand new rails

Has anyone successfully ran the simply_restful tests? Here is how I''m running the tests and the first error.

I have a subversion repo on a Debian Sarge server. I do rails development on two Debian workstations (home, work) and also a MacBookPro. I installed subversion from Darwinports. Things worked ok for a while and I did commits from and updates to all three machines until today. When I did svn status I noticed a lock on the working dir. $ svn status ? Rakefile ? readme !

Hi I''d like to create a webcal link to share a calendar with iCal like it''s done in Basecamp for example. I know how to create the file using icalendar ruby library and iCal can open it, but if I send this file using an url like webcal:// localhost:3000/ical/1151495837 iCal says that data are not valid. Any ideas? Thanks. PS here is my rb code def ical_data cal

Hi there, when i do this: session[:myItem] = ''foo'' session[:myItem] = nil the item :myItem is removed from the session. But this: session[''myItem''] = ''foo'' session[''myItem''] = nil doesn''t remove ''myItem'', it''s empty but still in the session. Any suggestion ? Thanks in advance. mic

In my work with a simple localization plugin, i''m running into a lot of places in the Rails core, where text and other localization specific information is hardcoded. I''ve included some examples in the bottom of this post. It''s hard for an outsider to know, if the hardcoded values are a result of inconsistency in code, or "by design". I hope that we can have

I am disappointed about the (seeming) lack of Unicode support in Rails. Is there a howto about working the most important limitations? For example, figuring out the length of an entered word: "???".length() will return 6, not 3. So if there is a maximum number of characters a user is allowed to enter, this won''t work as it should -- it treats strings as byte arrays instead

I really like how Active Record logs the SQL that is executed inside of rails. Is there a way to get the SQL output when using Active Record outside of rails?
