Hi, Yet another newbie here... I''m writing an appliction in Rails, and I''ve Ajaxified my select boxes so they update dynamically. I used the "observe_field" method to monitor changes to my select box. I find that it''s kind of erratic... it updates constantly and makes the selection for me, based on where my mouse happens to be hovering when it does its

Folks, Am new to RoR and am building an example to get myself familiar. I am running into a simple issue while creating a user registration page. I have a User and Address models defined as below (partial/relevant code included below). User has_one address and Address belongs_to user. I have a foreign key defined in address table that refers to user(id) In a form I take in username, password,

I have users and companies tables where users belongs_to companies. def signup @company = Company.new(params[:company]) @user = User.new(params[:company]) @user.company = @company if @user.valid? and @company.valid? @company.save @user.save end end How can I make this into a transaction? Is this a candidate for a distributed transaction? If so, from what I understand from the API,

Hi all, I cannot find a clean way to create/edit an object that ''belongs_to'' another one, just by using form fields. I always need to explicitely unassemble it, store the master id in a hidden field, and then refetch the master from its id, and put it back in the object. To summarize: I want to create a new member, for a given project @project= ... @member =

I am curious partly because it has occurred randomly in my asterisk system. How does one go about creating a .call file for placing a call between two extensions/phones? I know this has been mentioned and is probably in one of the wikis somewhere, but I am unsure exactally how to go about doing it. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Dan

I am very confused about where to put the belongs_to and the has_one (and other relationship identifiers). I have read the RDoc and the agile book many times about this and I think i still see it backwards. Let me outline my app so you have an understanding... I have 2 tables: Schools { id, school_name, address_id } and Addresses { street1, street2, city, state, zip, country } *** this

I am building an invoicing system but cannot use the auto_increment field to determine the invoice number (because they are running 3 different companies off the one system. I need to find the last invoice number from any given company and then add 1 to it to get the next invoice number. BUT, there is a unique case on the very first invoice produced because there is no earlier invoice

Say i want to include the same chunck of text (a menu on a webpage for example) on each page. Is there a method by which I can save the HTML in a text file and call it up later? Is there a better way? I know ruby has "puts" but i can''t use that b/c it does not work with my webhost (dreamhost.com) Any suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, My saves are failing me and I can''t figure out why. I am trying to save an address id to a user object just after I create the address. This isn''t the exact code, but it shows what I am trying to do. class AddressesController < ApplicationController def create @address = Address.new(params[:address]) saved_address = @address.save @user =

Is there a way you can use RoR to create an .xml file? Say I had a DB full of info that I wanted to format and have export as "lorem.xml" inside of a specific directory in my web server? Then, each time I updated the DB it would re-export the file (delete the old, save the new?) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello there, this is probably a very simple problem but I''m stuck. I''m following the Login generator tutorial from rubyonrails. It''s all worked fine so far. But I want to add a bit more functionality so that when a user signs up in addition to chosing a login name and password they type in a company name which is added to a seperate table called COMPANIES. The id

Hello All, I am new to ROR, and can''t seem to get HABTM to cooperate entirely... however I might be abusing it! Before I try a different strategy I thought I''d ask here and see if I''m missing something simple. So say Projects and Companies are related. Projects can have multiple Companies, and Companies can be on multiple Projects. But, the same Company can also

I am sure some of you can give me an insight into this.

One could be Home and the other could be say Office. Should be model this Table people id fname lname Table addresses id person_id addr1 addr2 .... or Table people id fname lname

Given two models: User :name :email :address_id # foreign key Address :line_1 :line_2 :city etc. I want to have a form allowing a user to register, in which she''d enter an address as well, but how do I go about combining both objects into the one form?

I just notices my app was down, and in the log file were lots of these: No space left on device - ../config/../tmp/sessions//ruby_sess.898b1cf95e14f8e3 So i figured that i had too many sessions.

When the user does he''s automatically a member of the company. A company should be able to have multiple users off course so every member of a company can add other users who don''t have a
