similar to: DRY DRY DRY

Where can I find more information about the new syntax on these: <%- model_class = @product.class -%> <h1><%=t ''.title'', :default => t(''helpers.titles.new'', :model => model_class.model_name.human, :default => "New #{model_class.model_name.human}") %></h1> <%= render :partial =>

i have these two really similar methods in my addressbook controller. def edit_company @company = Company.find(params[:id]) if request.post? and @company.update_attributes(params[:company]) flash[:notice] = ''Company was successfully edited.'' redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @company end end def edit_person

I was looking at my controller code and the edit/create/update/new for each are practically identical. So first I DRY''d the four methods in each controller to just one and then I decided to write a single macro for all my controllers. This is the macro: def self.edit_action_for(model, options = {}) model_class = Object.const_get(model) define_method(:edit) do

Hi there, I''m experiencing something strange in rails http headers. The response comes back as text/plain. The http header looks like this: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2005 15:18:18 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.54 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.10-16 mod_ruby/1.2.4 Ruby/1.8.4(2005-10-29) #<#<Class: 0x40a7f818>:0x40a7f778>Content-Type: text/html Cache-Control: no-cache

Is there a count_by_content alternative to the find_by_content action? This is because I''m wanting to do the following in my pagination method: def list # step 1: set the variables you''ll need page = (params[:page] ||= 1).to_i items_per_page = 20 offset = (page - 1) * items_per_page # step 2: instead of performing a find, just get a count item_count =

Hi, I''ve recently had some trouble setting form values in my code - for example: require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' def save(pagename, content, editsummary = '''') agent = WWW::Mechanize.new agent.user_agent = ''Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)'' page =

This is pretty much the same as last time around, if you recall. Thanks to Wilson for converting to the new form. I''ve added a few lines. Basically, it iterates over your model associations and does two things. - First, just try to call the association. Usually fixes speeling erors or other such silliness. - Second, try to find a record with an :include on the association. This

Hi I have the controller code as below # step 1: set the variables you''ll need page = (params[:page] ||= 1).to_i items_per_page = 20 offset = (page - 1) * items_per_page # step 2: instead of performing the full find, just find the record count @search_sd_ticket_count_result =

I''m trying to submit data in JSPWiki (edit page). I can read the data in the form, but nothings get saved when I submit the page. Cancel doesn''t work either. I don''t get any errors. There is no JavaScript used to submit the form. After I''m logged in I do the following: def save(page, content) @agent.get(@base_url + "Edit.jsp?page=#{page}")

Hiall, I have the following problem: I need to use forms containing collections (i will call them FCC), and I want to construct them dynamically, as I need to deal with quite large forms (more than 600 input fields). The variables @model_name and @field_name contain the proper model and field names as strings, which is enough for "normal" form input fields. (i.e. the "if

Hi, I''ve got a problem on which I''ve spent many hours, and I can''t get a clue on what is happening... I hope someone here will be able to help me. Here is the situation : my Rails app uses acts_as_commentable and acts_as_bookmarkable on a Diagram model. Everything''s working OK individually: I can create a comment on a Diagram, bookmark it, and so on. Now,

Hi everyone, I''m trying to use ajax to update the selected value of a select element.

Hello all. I am looking for some feedback on an implementation. I''m writing a plugin that will log all model changes. I do not want to have to add a line a code for this functionality every time I create a model. Instead I create a table with the name <model>_changes. The basic stuff was easy: base.after_create {|model| model.log_create if model.has_backup_table?

Here''s what I''ve got: <% @fields.each do |field_name| %> <tr> <td> <%= field_name.humanize %> </td> <td> <% unless field_name =~ /_id$/ %> <%= form.text_field field_name, :size => 40 %> <% else %> <%= select(:vendor, field_name, State.find(:all, :order

File_column plugin is great. I need to change the default :store_dir from the dynamic "model_name/attribute_name" to an equally dynamic "client_id/app_id/model_name/attribute_name".

I now have two specs in my rails project which correspond to one rails controller. I can run them individually and they pass, but running them together (either with the rake task just putting both files on the command line): euclid% spec spec/controllers/crud_resource_controller_spec.rb spec/ controllers/crud_resource_controller_with_join_models_spec.rb
