I''ve gone once through the Agile book and am now attempting my own rails app. I''ve created a table named ''volunteers'' with over 15 columns. The problem is the default list.rhtml that is created with the scaffold, shows all the columns. I only want to show 4 of them with the list view. Where would I start to only return a handfull of columns to the

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

My code executes fully: <% for column in ModelName.content_columns %> <th><%= column.human_name %></th> <% end %> but it does not pick up any columns in my model''s table that end in "_id". Is this by design? Is there a helper method that will reference the related tables? Or will I need to code the column titles and detail records by

Hi guru''s out there, Im happilly coding my first rails app, and all goes well. I find myself manually coding in a particular field all the time (company_id), that relates the contact to a company.

All, I have ordered AWDWR and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. In the meantime I still am playing with ROR using radrails. I have a few questions ... I create a table named customers with the following details: Field Type Null Key Default Extra id int(11) NO PRI auto_increment customer_name varchar(50) NO inbound_retention int(11) NO outbound_retention int(11) NO unix_admin_email

I''m trying to implement a show/hide details function. I have the show part done, but I''m not sure how to get it to hide. My app looks like this so far: View: <%= link_to_remote "Show/Hide", :update => "details", :url => { :action => "show", :id => leif } %> <p id="details"></p> Action: def show @leif =

All, I did a scaffold for a model and I ended up with this code in list.rhtml: <% for column in TargetList.content_columns %> <td><%=h target_list.send(column.name) %></td> <% end %> Where is the "send" method and what does it do? I can''t find it on ActiveRecord::Base? I assume that it returns a value based on the column id but I

I am a newbie, but have worked through 4 or 5 tutorials. I am using InstantRails. The problem is that I cannot determine how the style is being included. I have modified the stylesheet from /public/stylesheets/, even removed it. All to no avail. The inline <style>...</style> code is still being included from somwhere. Where? What am I missing? thanks, steve -- Posted via

This is the default scaffolding for list.rhtml: [code] <h1>Listing <%= @scaffold_plural_name %></h1> <table> <tr> <% for column in @scaffold_class.content_columns %> <th><%= column.human_name %></th> <% end %> </tr> <% for entry in instance_variable_get("@#{@scaffold_plural_name}") %> <tr> <% for

i''ve got a cool app going and it''s getting bigger and bigger, but now i''m trying to customize the show function. i''m using the scaffold code as a base but can''t seem to get anything to look right. i guess i''m confused about how exactly the scaffold code works for the "show" function. any help would be awesome! thanks. jon --

I went through a tutorial at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 to get started with RoR. I really like the idea of the scaffold construct, but I can''t seem to get it to work the way it was described in the tutorial. I''ve got a mysql database that is properly configured, and a table called ''quotes'' with a column called

In an *.rhtml, why do I need to add <% for product in @products %> in order that I may call an <img class="list-image" src="<%= product.img_url %>"/>. Is there not another way to skip the "for product" line? I really dont want to include it. I tried @products = product but it does not work. Can anyone help shed light on this matter? -- Posted via

I''m new to Rails and am trying to use a field called "code" instead of "id" in my URLs. For example, assuming I''ve got a database of motorcycles makes where the codes are "Honda", "Yamaha", "Suzuki", and "Kawasaki", etc. To show the info about Honda I want to use this url: http://www.mysite.com/makes/honda/

I''m studying the Agile Development with Rails book. In the chapter that first sets up the depot application (page 68), there is this bit of code from a view: <% for product in @products %> <tr> <% for column in Product.content_columns %> <td><%=h product.send(column.name) %></td> <% end %> etc... I am trying to absorb both Ruby and

I''ve got my app running with a table for product set up like the one from the Agiles book and would like to create a page to search those products. Is there a tutorial somewhere I can reference? I''ve gone through the source code for typo and rails-weenie but can''t find all the pieces to make it work on my own app. Else, any help would be greatly appreciated.. --

I?m following along a few tutorials on the web and trying to implement my own example, but I must be missing something because I can?t get has_many or belongs_to to work like I expected. now I have watched all the videos and made a cookbook several times with different interfaces. what I''m looking for is *not* a code snippet to solve something (because I already have that),

Hello everyone! Ive been on rails for the last month or so and really enjoyed this framework. However its very hard to find documentation on how to do things right! For example every beginner after a while realizes that having similar CRUD actions in every controller and views for them is not DRY at all! Few days ago I found http://dereksivers.com/rails-shared-controller.html I quite like his

I read through the entire agile web book and started over from scratch now to see if I can start my own project.. I need to understand how admin/new.rhtml <%= render :partial => ''form'' %> is creating the forms and telling it to input data into the tables I have it talking to a different table this time and in list.rhtml <%= column.human_name %> I can get it
