Hi, I m very new to Ruby. I bought a book "Ruby on Rails" and I think I understand some concepts. My question is : Is there a way to not use "Cookies" or "Sessions Variables" to keep some information about the user. I ask this question because I would like to prevent some cases where the user browser won''t accept cookies. I m from Asp 3.0, and I

class User def update_metadata self.update_attributes({:last_login_at => Time.now, :last_known_up => request.remote_ip, :last_known_user_agent => request.user_agent}) end This does not work. It bombs out with: undefined local variable or method `request'' for #<User:0x1e146e0> But the request calls work in a

Happy New Year everyone. Just wondering if anyone has coded the ability to allow a user to change their password following the way the book (second edition) implements administration. Seems like I should be able to cut out the password/password_confirmation portion of ''add_user'' form to create a ''change_pass'' form. The problem is I''m not sure how to go

I am a complete Rails newbie and am trying to understand how I can simply get the data from a password field in a form that is not mapped to a field in the database. The scenario is this. I have a User model that is mapped to a table users with the following fields: username, email_address, password and join_dt. Following pretty closely to the login section in the Agile Web Development with

Hi! I have just added login feature to my rails application (followed the instruction from (Agile Web Development with Rails) but now I am getting strange errors (looks to me like some kind of routing problem) under the passenger/apache. The error is: 500 Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. From the log:

I have an error I don''t know how to debug. I am adding the login suport in Depot (the example in the RoR book) and LoginController#add_user throws ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in an innocent /login/add_user GET request. The trace goes down to a call to SQLiteAdapter#table_structure, and the source code suggests what''s happening is that "PRAGMA

Hi, I''m just starting with Rails and i''m trying to do something like this: <%= start_form_tag :action => ''add_user'', :id => @social_event_group %> <%= select ''user'', ''id'' , User.find_all.collect {|u| [ u.login, u.id ] }%></p> <%= submit_tag "Add User" %> <%= end_form_tag %>

Hi *, In an attempt to go back to the drawing board and learn RoR some more - I have built the depot application from the agile book. After finishing I tried to create a user for the admin section, however when ever I go to: http://localhost:3000/login/add_user It redirects to the login action, I don''t see the [add user] submit button?? I am sure this is connected to the

I bought the Agile book to learn Rails, and everything was going smooth until Iteration F1: Adding Users. I''ve double checked my code, used the code provided by the book, and still it returns this same error message: **** NoMethodError in LoginController#add_user undefined method `hashed_password='' for #<User:0x473f0d8> RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/..

Hi everyone, I was following the book Agile Web Development with Rails 2Ed. by Dave Thomas. So, at some part of my studies, I decided to try to create my own application based on what I''ve learned... Now I''m in trouble in a simple form. I tried to create a form to register new users. I''m sending attached the files that I created for this. but my view don''t

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

Hi all, I''ve got the beginning of win32-etc 0.2.0 checked into cvs. This includes a new sub-module called Admin that includes the add_user, delete_user, and change_password methods. I eventually will add a config_user method as well, plus whatever else I feel like tossing in. :) One issue I''m having is with the change_password - no matter what I try, I always get

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 =

I am sure some of you can give me an insight into this. This is more towards the database design for the scenario below: Say for example, I have a person table and this person can have different address types. 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

I am unable to add drivers to network printer. I am logged in as a user who is allowed to write to those shares. But when ever I right click on the Properties of the printer when viewing \\DC\Printers and Faxes\PrinterName, Most of the tabs are disabled. I was able to install the drivers some time ago. But not any more. The more weird thing is that for some of the network printers, the Ports tab

Hi, I just posted a patch tot he rails trac for a bug we found where running symbolize_keys! on a HashWithIndifferentAccess will delete all items from the hash. Please make sure you either never call symbolize_keys! (or to_options! which just alias it) on a HashWithIndifferentAccess, or apply the path attached from the ticket at: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5076 I also posted a much longer

I was hoping someone would be able to help me with creating a method. I have two tables. What I am trying to do is create a list of all the id''s from table2 that aren''t currently referenced by Table1''s address_id column. That way, when I create a new customer I can have a drop down list in the view of all the addresses that are not currently being used. ##### Database

Ahoy, i''m trying to save a many to many between "talent" and "vital stat" talent_controller.rb def edit @talent = Talent.find(params[:id], :include => [:talent_type, :vital_stats]) @talent_types = TalentType.find_all @vital_stats = VitalStat.find_all if request.post? @talent.attributes = params[:talent] @talent.attributes =

Great job on SWAT. I'm a hard-core UNIX guy, and I like my vi and whatnot. But it's nice to see a functional web interface. It could use some more work--but great job so far! Anyway, I found a core-dump-causing-bug. I was curious as to whether or not swat limited addition of passwords to the smbpasswd file by the users that exist in the system's /etc/passwd file. I was relativly
