similar to: Advice on handling money

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?

While talking about my RailsConf presentation with Ben Wiseley, he suggested writing a book on the same topic... so I did! The Money Train is an e-book about building e-commerce sites using Ruby on Rails. Read my blog entry about it at http://www.bencurtis.com/archives/ 2006/06/rails-e-commerce-e-book/ or head to http:// www.agilewebdevelopment.com/book to dive right in. As always, a big

The name change comes with some added functionality for managing the fixtures, primarily with two new import tasks for importing specific Models or all of them within the test/fixtures directory. Both new import tasks take the exported fixtures, and allow you to directly import one, or all of

All, I know there are 3 or 4 search plugins out there. I''m trying to find one that will allow me to search associated fields. My database content is pretty small, so efficiently is not so critical. On the other hand I have ton of :belongs_to type fields, so I need something that works well with the Rails models. Any recommendations? == Example of what I need to work Assume I have a

Anyone out there really familiar with acts_as_versionable ? I''ve recently got it working, and I think it''s working great. But what I want to do is a little different than what it does by default. Currently, each time I save the activerecord, the plugin increments the version number in the main table, and writes a copy to the table that stores old versions. What

Nothing special, just my first plugin. it came out of a request I saw on the list from someone who wanted to be able to tell if a model''s attributes had changed prior to being saved. Well, this plugin does just that (at least I hope it does). http://rubyforge.org/projects/actsasmodified/ Please see the README for details. Constructive comments and criticisms are appreciated.

Hi Rails AJAX controls are very handy, and the InPlaceEditor is probably one of the easiest and most neat of them all. But, it doesn''t do autocompletion. I''ve rectified that situation. The plugin provides a few new helpers and a new JavaScript-file that extends the Ajax.InPlaceEditor with local and remote Autocompletion features. So, just install the plugin, include the
