I''d like someone to write up an example blog app with these requirements - RESTful using the simply_restful plugin (or edge rails) - allows posting of comments to articles - has categories for posts No need

Hi I have my routes set up like this: map.resource :contact, :path_prefix => "/employers/:employer_id" so now when I view all contacts for an employer I go to: /employers/1/contacts That works. On that page, there''s a problem with the routes: new_contact_url translates to: /employers/1/contacts/new ... so that works. But, contact_url(@contact) gives me

Hi all I''m using RESTful routes combined with the to_csv plugin and would like to know if there''s a nicer way of generating a link to fetch the CSV file than just making a hard link. This is what I use for the moment (and it works btw): <%= link_to("Export as CSV","/companies.csv") -%> I would expect the link helper to have something like

I''ve been looking into RESTful approaches lately. Everything I know my dog, Lelu, taught me. REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is an architectural technique for networked applications first described by Roy Fielding in his dissertation at UC Irvine-- excellent work, especially considering the tempting proximity of Newport Beach. As Lelu described it to me, REST strives

Does someone have an actual example of this? I saw DHH''s slides where he said that you could have your app automatically respond with HTML, XML, atom, whatever. So far I''ve found tons of discussion on REST and CRUD in Rails, but I haven''t seen anything that actually shows me what it all is. There''s simply_restful, which apparently makes things easier...I

I am using the acts_as_state_machine plugin to control state of an object in my app, however when testing this I need to be able to stub out the guard conditions so that state will change when I fire off an event without depending on other models. Guard conditions simply return true or false so I have an instance method: def encoded? <check state of other objects> return true

Hi, I just ran into a bizarre problem when I put my site into production. I have a resource (call it xxx), then I created with the generate script. I then set up page caching on the show action. But now in the production environment, trying to call the edit action results in the show page being retreived from the cache. I''m assuming this has to do with the similarity of the URL

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to the best way to provide access to the same data source for the (possible) creation of multiple web sites. I figure my options are: - Direct database access over tcp - ActionWebService - Wait for ActionResource I''ve done up some work with ActionWebService already, but I don''t think it''s going to work because it

Hi, I was trying to write a RESTful service and was planning on testing via tools such as cURL and the basic http libs. With the InvalidAuthenticityToken piece that is turned by default in Rails 2.0.2, I have to provide the token with each request. This is something of a pain for a programmable client that may not make a GET request before performing other actions, specifically POST, PUT and
