Dear all, I make habitat suitability models for animal species. The purpose of my research is to investigate the accuracy of different models. I clearly have a nested design: - accuracy_measure -> response variable - 2 model types (model_type) -> fixed effect - 230 species (species) -> random effect - 10 replicates/species (replicate) -> random effect - 10 subreplicate/replicate

Hi all All my forms should look the same, so I think always putting the right div etc. tags around them is a violation of the DRY principle. Until now my forms look like that: <div class="text_field"> <label for="news_item_subject">Subject:</label> <%= text_field "news_item", "subject" %> </div> Now I want the default

Hi all Look at the title, I guess you know what I mean... What helper makes the attribute names of tables human readable? news_item >> News Item name >> Name etc. Thanks for info :-) Joshua -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I''m having a very odd problem with db:migrate. I''m using Rails 1.2.5 on Windows XP SP2 and Ruby 1.8.6 I have seven migrations. If I run them with an empty database, it runs the first three, then halts. When I look in schema_info, the version is 3.

Hi all Is there some sort of a built-in possiblity to disable the rendering of the layout using a GET parameter? Something like :url_for :controller => :news, :action => :show, :id => news_item, :layout => false This should construct something like that: /news/show/123&layout=false And automatically the layout wouldn''t be rendered. Is this already built-in, or

PROBLEM I have two models, Blog and BlogComment. When a blog is initially created, it has no comments. Upon creation, the title and body are automatically added to the ferret index and directly searchable. However, when a comment is added to a blog, that comment does not get added to the index and is therefore not ferretable. The desired behavior is that when a comment is added to a blog, that the

Hi, I have two model classes; Tune and Title and they are joined in a many to many relationship through a Variation class. Here''s some stub code of the models: class Tune < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :variations, :dependent => :destroy has_many :titles, :through => :variations ... class Title < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :variations, :dependent => :destroy

For example I have table Questions. With fields id, text, and test_id. test_id is not being displayed in my view. I am hoping this means Rails has picked up that it is an id for another model. If so, then how do I utilize that? If not, then do I need to avoid ''id'' in any field names other than the main id field? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Modules are exactly what I needed to figure out, but once I started my app over again putting my controller under a module folder, I can''t get my basic app going. Basically I have a News app, where we will post PR and other articles of interest. It was working fine with a model/controller combo of news/index for the public and news/admin for the administrators. Keep in mind this

Sorry if this is a complete newbish question, but I''m trying to wrap my head around creating custom classes in my rails webapp. I''m normally a Java developer, but I figured I''d give RoR a try and see how I like it, and whether it would be useful for production use with a new client. Anyways, what are the best practices for custom classes? Where and/or how do I create

Hi, I''m trying to do something which I think is fairly simple, but I''m stuck on the syntax. Briefly, I have three classes: users, groups, and blog_entries. There''s a M2M relationship between users and groups, and a M2M relationship between groups and blog_entries. I''ve got my classes defined ok, but in my "list" method for the blog_entries I
