similar to: How do CRUD and REST work for a wizard-style application?

Been thinking about something lately and wanted to hear what others thought. After watching the video[1] of DHH with the slides[2] I really liked some of the ideas presented. Many people have noted the ugliness of needing secondary actions since HTTP actions do not cover the full range of CRUDness (i.e. the "GET /people;new" and "GET /people/1;edit"). Also the need for

Video of the Chicago RailsConf keynotes are now online. At least two of them, anyway. So far Martin Fowler''s (Chief Scientist from ThoughWorks) and Dave Thomas'' (author of Pragmattic Programmer and Programming Ruby among others) can be found at blog.scribestudio.com . You can find the general release schedule of the other speakers here:

I''ve been looking into RESTful approaches lately. Everything I know my dog, Lelu, taught me. REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is an architectural technique for networked applications first described by Roy Fielding in his dissertation at UC Irvine-- excellent work, especially considering the tempting proximity of Newport Beach. As Lelu described it to me, REST strives

Let''s say I have the model class Reader and Magazine, connected by join model Subscription. It looks something like this class Reader < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :subscriptions, :dependent => :delete_all has_many :magazines, :through => :subscriptions validates_presence_of :name end class Magazine < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :subscriptions, :dependent =>

I have a few simple controllers doing plain, simple crud in a standard way. now it''s not very DRY to write a funtcional test for each controller, since they are all doing the same (apart from a few variable names, but that could be easily inflected or so). is there a way to do this? e.g. does inheritance work with tests, so i define a base test first, inherit my other tests and add a few

Hey guys, I''m trying out the new RESTful bits in Edge Rails, and am having a bit of trouble wrapping my brain around certain things. For instance, say I have a page that is separated into sections with tabs at the top. I want to replace divs on the page with RJS. Now typically before I''d have a method on the controller that rendered an RJS template to accomplish this.

I''m watching the keynotes on scribestudio. I''ve found the slides for DHH''s keynote, but can''t find anything for Dave Thomas oor Martin Fowler. Are they available at all? Pat

For edge rails there is a Crud generator. There is also a CRUD controller that is out there from which you can inherit your other controllers (see http://geekonomics.blogspot.com/2006/07/crud-and- shared-controllers.html) This got me thinking about Crud controllers in general. As far as I know, the generator can''t produce crud classes which are nested (i.e.

Hello, I want to seperate my admin and public views but only use one controller. How to seperate layouts ist clear but how can I tell the controller to render the *.rhtml files in views/admin/ when logged in or render the *.rhtml files in views/public/ (for example). Thanks for any help! PS: using REST and CRUD in edge rails --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received

A concrete example: We''re building a system to organize the information about workshops being held in various conventions. A convention has more than one workshop, and each workshop can be held in more than one convention. Also each workshop has a host, who is specific to a workshop being held in a specific convention. For example, Matz may host an "Introduction to Ruby"

I''ve been experimenting with Rails over the past couple of days and have come across something that seems harder than it should be. In previous frameworks I have used (WebObjects, php) a full search page (which leads into a list view populated with search results) was part of the CRUD that was either dynamically or statically created after specifying table/object schema. In

Hello, After listening to DHH''s 2006 RailsConf keynote, I decided to take a leap on my current application and do a little more re-organizing to make it more CRUD-based. As such, I ended up changing some things around to get this (simplified): User has_many :enrollments, :conditions => ''status > 0'' User has_many :schools, :through => :enrollments User has_many

Hello, I was wondering if there was any automated (may be scaffolding) way of exposing Model CRUD via web services. I found this ticket for django, but nothing for Rails. http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/115 Thanks in advance for your opinions and suggestions.

Hi, I am just starting of in rails. I am trying to understand the features of rails and I have this burning question. (and search is not available now): Apart from relying on the automatic CRUD sql script produced, is there a way I can create my own sql script ex: with many joins between exixting tables (for reporting ). All I need is to declare the custom query and place the result in a

I''ve been using this template on most of my CRUD controllers. class CommentsController < ApplicationController meantime_filter :set_scope before_filter :find_comment, :only => %w(show edit update destroy) def index @comments = Comment.find(:all) end def new @Comment = Comment.new end def create @comment = Comment.create!(params[:comment])

Hi There I''m starting Rails a project for the first time (used to work with PHP). I have to provide administrator ("super-user") access to a large number of tables. The access should be available through a web interface (the tables rendered as HTML forms on the browser, probably through HTML tables inside the form). From the CRUD set mostly R(etrieve) and U(pdate) are

Hello there! This is my first post! ;) I''m starting on ruby on rails, so I have many doubts about it! I''m trying to create a system that uses categories/subcategories. I created a scaffold for a table that has the following fields: - id int(11) - name varchar(50) - keyname varchar(50) - visible enum(''0'',''1'') default ''0'' -

Good afternoon. I have two questions: First question: Can be defined at the time that I''m generating the scaffold the size of a string? For example name:string (50)? Second question: I wonder how to proceed correctly to include new fields starting at a CRUD generated by scaffold. Example: First step (I use): script/generate scaffold User name:string login:string Second step (I add
