My second problem is: Listing users, and deleting them doesn''t work. If I try to list user, i just get this list: User Delete User Delete User Delete User Delete I''m using this code in the login_controller: def list_users @all_users = User.find(:all) end def delete_user @id = params[:id] if id && user = User.find(id) begin User.destroy

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

Hello, What am I doing wrong? The code below does not show the current record for editing. def edit @user = User.find(params[:id]) end def update @user = User.find(params[:id]) if @user.update_attributes(params[:user]) flash[:notice] = ''User was successfully updated.'' redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @user else render :action

What''s the standard way to prevent race conditions in controllers? Say user has many posts. Post controller has action add_post that receives user id, post controller find()s the user and while he is creating the post entry an administrator deletes that user in a separate session. We cannot assume the database checks foreign key integrity. How do you get that right? -- fxn

I''m trying to create a modules based system where my controllers are all under modules. So the structure looks something like: app/ controllers/ message/ news_controller.rb email_controller.rb library books_controller.rb pictures_controller.rb home_page_controller.rb Each of those controller has

Hi, Does anyone have the formula for getting logged into LinkedIn? Here''s my current attempt: require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' agent = WWW::Mechanize.new home_page = agent.get(''http://www.linkedin.com'') signin_page = agent.click home_page.links.text(''Sign in'') puts "\nSIGNIN PAGE"

Hello, I have a form that should be a POST method, but Rails insist to put a hidden field "_method" that has the value "put" does anyone knows why? Thanks, David Sousa Controller: ------------------------------- def new @user = @current_user end ------------------------------------------- View: ------------------------------------- <% semantic_form_for @user,

Hi, I must be missing something or have something misconfigured, but I get no stack-trace when there is an error in the code behind a view. If the view doesn''t compile, then I see an error & stacktrace, but all other errors I get a "lost network connection" from the browser, and nothing at all in the server output or development.log. It''s been that way with

Hi, Maybe I ask again for something what is wasn''t able to find anything. Is there simple way how to process authorizations? My imagine is that some action for controllers are allowed only to few users. E. g. Everybody can look category list, but only registred user can edit or add. In best way, when user is signup, rails will remember his rights like: adding_category = false

Hi all, Like most other frameworks, Ruby groups code by Model/View/Controller instead of by task, and therefore I''m having a hard time debugging a problem from the Agile Rails book where looping through @items errors out because one or more items is nil. I managed to empty the cart by placing session[:cart] = nil in find_cart() in the store_controller_rb, and the problem continued

Hey, Just thought I''d see how easy it was to use erubis rather than erb in rails, and so far all seems to be pretty easy. Just added a few lines in environment.rb and everything works as before. However, one page is causing a problem. It is a partial that is being passed a local variable. erubis doesn''t seem to see the local, and gives the following error? undefined local

Thanks to everyone who responded to my first set of questions. Not only did I get my questions answered but I improved my code and learned a couple new things. I think I prefer the mailing list over IRC... easier to follow :-) I have some more questions if you don''t mind. Some are Rails related and some are Ruby related. 1) This is concerning displaying error messages. I am assuming

Hi, What''s the best way to get the default logger (the one used during the tests) from inside a class that doesn''t inherit any rails class?

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:

Hi, I wrote a class which is not an AR extension, nor a controller. I''d like to use logger.* methods there too. My class is in lib/ dir. I include it in environment.rb with the line require ''lib/localization'' just after the line require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), ''boot'') I tried many ways to reuse the logger class. The cleaner way seemed to

How can I "get" the rails logger from a plain class, that is a class that does not inherit from a rails class? I have tried using RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER (see below) but it''s nil class MyClass logger = RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER def myMethod logger.debug("stuff...") end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hey everyone. i know somebody else had started a thread on this subject, but since no one seems to be answering that thread i thought i would start one of my one. i''m doing a project for a client and we need some seriously verbose logging. it looks like log4r can do what i need, but i can''t for the life of me figure out how to plug it into rails. everywhere talks about how

I know about logger.silence but here is the issue: I''m comfortable with the way the user engine is working, but it generates quite a bit of SQL noise in the logs. I''d like, for that engine, to suppress the SQL logging. Code in it has return statements in conditionals, e.g., if !user? RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.debug "checking guest authorisation for

By default, all the paramaters are displayed in the production.log on a POST. Unfortunately, this includes all the plain-text passwords that people type into the login form on my application, which is a huge security risk. I''m using a custom evaluation system that hooks into LDAP (not any of the generators/plugins). View code is simple: <%= text_field ''employee'',

Hi. I''m trying to use logger from a rails cron job. It works fine, but I''d like the standard ruby behavior of stamping each log with date and time. How do I do this? I''m trying: # Set up out logging require ''logger'' logger = Logger.new(STDERR) logger.level = Logger::INFO RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER = logger # Tell rails to log to our logger also The
