Hello, I have been experimenting with Single Table Inheritance as described in the More Active Record chapter in Agile Development with Rails. I have started with an object model with three classes x, y and z (for brevity), where y < x and z < y. (I will want to extend this model further to subclass y with other classes.) I have created a table called x (plural) in the database with

I had posted earlier about ''silent failure of a controller'', what seemed to be an intractable problem where I was getting failure of a particular action in a controller while others worked. What was irritating was that there were no useful messages. Nothing to the browser, nothing in logs, and even the breakpoints wouldn''t hit. Finally by a process of elemination I found

I am trying to make a barebones login system based on this example (which in turn is just standard RoR login) but when I enter a user name and password, it says the login is unsuccessful every time.

I''m following along with the depot example in ''Agile Web Development'' and ran into a problem with Scaffold. I changed the MySQL table structure to add a few columns directly and also tried the migrate script to change the database after I got the initial scaffolding to work.

Hi! I am totally new to ruby on rails and dynamic website creation (never done php or asp). I am reading "Agile Web Development with Rails" by D.Thomas, and I am wondering if I need to create multiple scaffold and controllers to be able to create a really basic CMS.
