Should I create a separate controller for each model or should I use 1 controller for all models? Having 1 "admin" controller for all backend stuff seems logic to me, but when I scaffold it rather makes 1 controller per model. I''m fairly new to the MVC pattern, so what''s the prefered way of doing it? I''m also wondering if the API is up to date? When

Just wondering how to best integrate with pagination and still stick to MVC... Say I have a Post model that has a published attribute. I want to show all the recent published posts on a page. My first instinct is to create a method in the Post model called recent that does the find with proper conditions and order, but the problem I have is how do I use that with pagination (which definitely

Hello I have been using LAMP for the last 6 years and i am now finally making the choice to move over to RoR. This MVC stuff is all very new to me. As i have no trouble understanding ruby code... or any code for that matter.. my challange comes in getting my head around the MVC stuff. Is there any demos articles that you guys have seen that takes a site or a business breif and explains where

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

Hi, I want to creat a GUI accessible via the web with ruby to interface some matlab implementation ... so I extended Ruby with C++ and then matlab :) that works perfectly: I have finaly a Ruby class I can call whenever I want to lunch my matlab algorithm ;) the point is now I have to make the GUI in HTML with Rubby on rails and Damn!

Hi, An absolute newbie to RoR, I''m currently going through a few of the excellent tutorials that are available on the subject. One of these includes running a script for creating a mySQL table. In the command prompt (XP), I try mysql depot_development <db/create.sql but get the following error: ''mysql'' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

1st: I am a newbie to Rails & to pure OO. Q: I want to use rails for creating a "master-detail" form. page layout will allow users to type in an "expense report header" and as many "expense report lines" as they need to. I understand how to wrap the final submit action using "transaction" to ensure the inserts to the database happen within the same

I was thinking today, it would be nice if a view could tell a model how to format it''s data for that particular view. Kind of like, the view is bestowing instant, and temporary knowledge on the model for the duration of the views run. It seemed to me that this would be more objecty than say a helper that formats a string format_my_string( my_string ) Instead, in my view. Lets assume I

I am curious what you find is good and bad MVC design. Let''s use the find and find_by_sql methods as examples. Currently I have these spread out all over the place... View: here I have some find methods when I am for example populating a select list with choices in a form. Controller: here I have the simpler find methods. Model: here I have the more complicated find methods (usually

Ok, Here''s my controller: def create trainingplan = Trainingplan.createplan(@params[:startdate], @params[:enddate], @params[:hoursperweek], @params[:programtype]) end My model is: class Trainingplan <ActiveRecord::Base def self.createplan(stardate, enddate, hoursperweek, programtype) stardate = startdate enddate = enddate hoursperweek = hoursperweek programtype

Hi, I am a newby in rails...and i have read that scruffy is a great tool to create/display images.

Hey Guys, Here''s the scenario: I''ve got vendor-specific XML I need to create and then POST it somewhere. It sounds easy enough, but I''m running into issues when it comes time to actually use the XML. Trying hard to stay within the MVC pattern I: 1) Create a controller which loads the models I''m about to turn into XML 2) Create an rxml view which renders the

is a model similiar to a class? and active record is similiar to how Java classes inherit from Object? View is nothing more than an output of a model with HTML? Controller is basically the Main part of the program? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, This is more of a theoretical question I suppose - I''m looking for what the consensus is for the "correct" approach in Rails/MVC. I have a standard security model where a User can have many Roles. There is a User model, a Role model, and in the db, a linking table, etc. Each role has a name as well as a category (say, name="waiter", category="restaurant

Hi, I''m a newbie in both Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I finished the Ruby on Rail Tutorial on Todo list and it was great. But, now I''m trying to understand the logic behind it, that is something that is not obvious on how each one of them ties together. Is there a flowchart that shows how the inner working of Ruby on Rails? In another words, let''s suppose we consider the

So I''m wondering about the origin of "ActiveRecord" and "ActionPack" and the like in Rails. I''ve always thought that perhaps DHH found himself in a suit one day (maybe he had to attend a friend''s wedding or something), and as long as he had the suit on, decided to lapse into a one of the barely lucid frenzies that Marketing people are prone to when
