I didn''t want to hijack Martin''s thread, but Carmen said a couple of interesting [original thread below]. Carmen - since you''ve switched off of SQL what do you use as you data- store? Have integrated AR? I''ve been seeing the world in 3+NF for more than 15 years now. Would you mind speaking to this topic a little, and if you''ve any rails

Hiall, I just tried out InstantRails version 1.3a. After a virgin install and filling the fresh mysql db with my app schema, I tried runningthe app with webrick, only to see the infamous "Lost connection to mysql server" for every action. What is it that I''m doing wrong? I also have mysql 5 installed on my machine, but the service is stopped while experimenting with

Hiall, Call me stupid if you like .,) but it seems i can''t figure out how to get a named link using a combination of link_to and image_tag. What I need is basically a link displaying a name along with some image to indicate status (open,working,finished). I found no combination of link_to and image_tag that accepts a name, this seems to be solely used for making whole images into links

Hiall, I want to give the action of a form an additional parameters but can''t figure out how to do it. My code looks like this <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create'', next_step => true %> <%= render :partial => ''user_form'' %> <%= render :partial => ''community_form'' %> <%= submit_tag

Hiall, If I have say 10 tables that i would like to wrap up in 1 view to manipulate data inside these tables, do I then need 10 model.rb files for all 10 tables plus 1 for the view, or do I just need 1 model.rb file for the view ? cheers Martin

Hiall, Is it possible to organize my model files below app/models into subfolders? E.g. I would like to put admin related models into their own subfolder. This kind of structuring works for controllers and views (scaffolding creates the right subfolder-model mappings), but app/models always stays flat. I''d really like to be able to group my code into logical, well packages :-) Yes, I

Hiall, When I try to run script/console from a windows command line like f:\rails_app\ruby script\console I get the following error: F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- initializer (LoadError) from F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require''

Hiall, Unfortunately I just can''t find out how to setup a default selected value when using collection_select. My call is like so: <%= collection_select(:consultant, :lastname, @consultants, :id, :lastname, { :selected => @current_consultant.id } ) %> which is not working, I debugged so far that I know that @current_consultant.id contains the correct value. Any tips? cheers

Hiall, I want to make an image_tag from within a controller in order to be able to present a link (with a status image) in a view. Here is my controller method (in file webca_controller.rb, hence WebcaController) def untouched_status_image_tag image_tag("open", { :alt => "Offen", :title => "Offen", :size => "12x12", :class =>

Hiall, I''m wondering what''s common practice when dealing with money values stored in databases. I like the idea of storing all the values as integers, i.e. all the values in eurocents not euros. Then I need to multiply all values the users enter by 100 before storing them in the database. Now the question is, what''s the most efficient and dryest way to do this?

Hiall, I would be very interested in your opinions on the ModelSecurity plugin by Bruce Perens. http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/ModelSecurity/Tutorial.html Some time ago, I read on a few pages that it is the way to go, on this list however, I didn''t read much about it. Apart from it''s security level, quoted from comments in source code: # FIX: At the moment we only support

so becky said mog is out, i remeber seeing it about a year ago on craigslist but didnt apply since it sounded like a last.fm ripoff and why waste time reinventing a wheel?..anyways, im wondering if it performs ok for anyone? it keeps freezing up on my trying to edit the page. sometimes a response comes back after about 10 seconds. im only guessing it runs rails, based on the gratuitous use of

Hiall, I have the following problem: I need to use forms containing collections (i will call them FCC), and I want to construct them dynamically, as I need to deal with quite large forms (more than 600 input fields). The variables @model_name and @field_name contain the proper model and field names as strings, which is enough for "normal" form input fields. (i.e. the "if

Hiall, Given I use forms containing collections and use a statement like Product.update(params[:product].keys, params[:product].values) to update more than one product. What is the best way to determine if this update operation was successfull? I read the apidoc and it says that even if the save fails under validation, an array of products is returned. Now do I have to loop through all those

Hiall, This could be useful for those of you producing websites in the german language. Basically I copied the definition of the rails builtin distance_of_time_in_words and extracted another method german_words_for_distance_in_seconds. Just put these e.g. into module ApplicationHelper and you can use it in all views. def distance_of_time_in_german_words(from_time, to_time = 0, include_seconds

Hiall, I have a question concerning the use of local variables in partials. Given that obviously all instance variables of the invoking controller are available to the partial (as they are available to the normal template), what situations are there in which to use local variables? Another question concerns the :object parameter in render :partial => "xxx", :object => @foo. Is it

Hiall, I have a rjs template which is calling page[:xxx].replace_html ... a couple of times and this works perfectly. However, in the same rjs file I have two calls to page.insert_html, which do not work. No error in development.log, nor error message in browser, the new content for the div simply isn''t changed at all. This is my code: ... action = "save_" +
