similar to: How to Disable Callbacks on a Model

Similar topic to my last post, but a different brand of methods. In particular, the url_for and link_to methods have come to bother me at times. I will mention one instance in particular: I am designing a high-end administrative interface. This interface supports paging, sorting and limiting to specific field values. Thus I have params named page, sort and limit. The lack of elegance I see

What would be the best way in rails to store a single variable and have it persist. Like a have a variable that says "total_visits" that counts the total number of page loads. The only solution I can think of is having a table with a single row. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:

Hey guys, I''m having a hard time w/ the after_update callback on rails... As far as I can tell, when I define a after_update callback on a model, the attributes of the object have the same values that they had *before* Base.save was called. I''m probably wrong so here''s the code: UNIT TEST: def test_register_item_adjusts_account_balance account =

I''m using Windows and Postgres 8. I installed RMagic gem thingy and FileColumn plugin ok. I followed instructions exactly as directed on FileColumn web site which is very straight forward: ---model class My_model < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :column_for_file_name end -----view -upload form--set to mulitpart <%= file_column_field "my_model",

Hi. I''d like to edit the generated template in AR where tables are created. for example, this file is created when generating a new model or migration: class CreateModel < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :models do |t| # t.column :type, I''d like to edit the above so it''ll generate this: class CreateModel <

Hi all, here is the challenge: I have this validation method, that basically prevents an object which billed = true to be updated: def before_update if read_attribute(:billed) errors.add_to_base(''This service has already been billed for'') end !read_attribute(:billed) end The above code does not work in case I do something like: object =

One of my models has a column that is updated very frequently from a separate process, so it is important that when a record is saved in rails, this column should be left alone. In the update method of the controller I have: @record = MyModel.find(params[:id]) @record.update_attributes(params[:my_model]) params[:my_model] doesn''t have a reference to the column I''m talking

With after triggers in Postgres, there are special NEW and OLD vars accessible to trigger functions. Any such thing in Rails? Or would it entail doing something like setting a class var in before_update? Jack -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all: I want to fit a multinomial logit model with VGAM package, however I cannot find a way to check the residuals since residuals(my_model) and resid(my_model) does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Alex Brito [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I was trying to draw some ROC curves (prediction of case/control status), but seem to be getting a somewhat jagged plot. Can I do something that would 'smooth' it somewhat? Most roc curves seem to have many incremental changes (in x and y directions), but my plot only has 4 or 5 steps even though there are 22 data points. Should I be doing something differently? How can I provide a

Hi I noticed that if in my code I use the following: Photo.update_all("title = ''Ruby rocks'' ", "id IN (#{@photo_ids})") All my objects are properly updated but none of the filters/callbacks are triggered. Is that what''s expected? I have a before_update filter set on the Photo class and it gets totally ignored, I guess the only way to solve this
