similar to: What helper makes "News Item" out of "news_item"?

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 My site has news entries, it has a party calendar and it has a blog. Now I''d like to create a commenting system that in fact is quite simple, but I wanna use it for all these 3 types of content. My question: how can I do that? I maybe could add an association to all three types in the comment model: class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :news_item belongs_to

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

Hi all I have a new migration file created that adds some tables and fills one with some data: create_table :sound_styles do |t| t.column :name, :string, :null => false end create_table :show_types do |t| t.column :name, :string, :null => false end create_table :countries do |t| t.column :name, :string, :null => false end ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper::COUNTRIES.each

I''ve gone once through the Agile book and am now attempting my own rails app. I''ve created a table named ''volunteers'' with over 15 columns. The problem is the default list.rhtml that is created with the scaffold, shows all the columns. I only want to show 4 of them with the list view. Where would I start to only return a handfull of columns to the

Hi all I''m creating a shop page. I have a cart model that looks like the following: class Cart attr_reader :line_items def get_line_item id @line_items.each do |l| return l if l.id == id end end def initialize @line_items = [] end def empty! initialize end def empty? return true if @line_items.empty? false end end And I have some

One more question: Is there some way to set the human_name of a column? e.g.: human_name for column address1 shouldn''t be Address1 but "Address, line 1". If not, should I make a hash with my custom names?

Do most others in the community agree with this statement? It seems to me that i18n is: 1. Actually important to many people 2. Not really the difficult to implement in concept 3. Something that people like to point out about Rails to say it''s not ready foir "Enterprise" It seems to be that a big part of Rails is encouraging people to do things the "Right Way",

I have for example the following method, that I want to be able to call from any model I wish... def ApplicationController helper_method :member def member session[:member] end end Thanks for any

Is it my imagination or has there been a huge increase in the number of fragmented threads in the last several days? Maybe it''s Gmail doing something crazy, but I see dozens of top-level conversations starting with replies (ex. "Re: [Rails] omfg something broke"). Did people collectively forget what the "reply" button looks like, or is the list software doing

Hi all It like my visitors to be able to upload a zip file (or any other possible compressed file archive) to my server. After upload, my web app should extract the content to the server and delete the zip file. Is this possible somehow? I''m very thankful for help.

I''m studying the Agile Development with Rails book. In the chapter that first sets up the depot application (page 68), there is this bit of code from a view: <% for product in @products %> <tr> <% for column in Product.content_columns %> <td><%=h product.send(column.name) %></td> <% end %> etc...

Hi all I have a Model like this: class Member < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :username, :email, :first_name, :last_name end I have created a scaffold using script/generate scaffold member members Using the URL localhost:3000/members/edit/1 I can edit all attributes, including created_at, lock_version etc.!

In a standard scaffold generator, the list.rhtml looks something like this ... <% for column in Book.content_columns %> <th><%= column.human_name %></th> <% end %> How can I modify this code so for each table column add my own name not the "human_name" generated code? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I need to implement a mailing list system, Actionmailer is great, but i haven''t found out a way to send many (hundreds of) emails without having to reconnect to the SMTP server for each mail when calling Mymailer::deliver_my_mail(recipient) Any tips? (Possibly without calling directly Net::SMTP, so i can take advantage of the rhtml rendering of the body) Thanks, Best regards,

Hi all n = Nokogiri::HTML("<h1>H1</h1>") n.to_s # => <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body><h1>H1</h1></body></html> Is there a method that only outputs the stuff I''ve read, and not the whole valid XHTML stuff?

My code executes fully: <% for column in ModelName.content_columns %> <th><%= column.human_name %></th> <% end %> but it does not pick up any columns in my model''s table that end in "_id". Is this by design? Is there a helper method that will reference the related tables? Or will I need to code the column titles and detail records by
