When I add an item to the shopping cart, I get an error: undefined local variable or method `cart_item'' for #<#<Class:0x3715a78>:0x3715a48> Session info says the cart being updated properly. I''m just not able to output two variables: <%= cart_item.quantity %> &times; <%= h(cart_item.title) %> I did some research, and I can grasp that local

Hi, A store front a customer wants to GET /product/5/show. But for the application this is really GET /cart_item/new/5 or even better /cart_item/new?cart_item[product_id]=5 When the customer clicks add_to_cart they POST /product/5/show so that the url doesn''t confuse the user when any validation errors occur. But for the applicaiton this should be POST

I bought the second edition of the ruby on rails, it seems to work fine now, did some adjustments to the code. But now I get a second error and I want to learn to understand to fix them myself. So here is the error. ArgumentError in StoreController#add_to_cart wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/cart.rb:15:in `initialize'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/cart.rb:15:in

I recently got a copy of the second addition in PDF and got stuck on the Ajax portion using highlighting page 128. While trying to make my cart flash I got an RJS error when I click add to cart. I have gone back and made sure my code matched what was in the book but no help. I sent Dave an email and he rec''d this list. Anybody got any good links for troubleshooting Ajax or maybe have see

I am really new to Ruby and Rails but as you probably see I am trying to get the shopping card working from the book. I am getting this error but I really don''t know what to do. I have looked up several of topics that stated the same problem but as far as I am, nothing has helped me out yet. Is there something wrong with the Product model? This is in the StoreController and I believe it

Hi - another question, sorry.... I''m trying to get the highlighting effect to work on the current_item. The page refreshes fine, and then I get an error as the highlighting code is fired: page[:current_item].visual_effect :highlight, :startcolor => "#88ff88", :endcolor => "#114411" The error

Hi, I''m really excited about getting the create() method working on a nested hash. The Rails book make it seem like I''m close to doing the right thing but I think something very small is not quite right. The error at the below isn''t giving any hints that I understand. I have a form that produces a nested params hash and sends it to my add_to_cart controller method.

First of all id like to say hi to everyone from Argentina, im yet another Depot first-timer. Going through the example, i got to the point where my cart finally runs Ajax-based. And there is a line where Dave says, after all the job is done "You should see the cart in the sidebar update. And you shouldn''t see your browser show any indication of reloading the page. You''ve

I have been working through the Agile Web Development with Rails book doing the Depot tutorial. I have completed it and it works but I cant say I understand how and why. My question is this "After adding products to the Cart, how do I then give users the option to delete just one item and not empty the whole cart?" I''ve been playing around with all sorts of code, just making

Hi all, I am trying to build a RESTful shopping cart and I have hit a small wall, but before I get to that let me explain what I have done thus far. I have two RESTful controllers, CartController and CartItemsController with a nested routes setup like so map.resources :carts do |carts| carts.resources :cart_items, :collection => {:empty => :delete} end (I added a custom route to

I am following a tutorial and get thar error creating a cart, and can''t figure it out, uninitialized constant Cart::CartItem Extracted source (around line #8): 5: <h3>Your Shopping Cart</h3> 6: 7: <ul> 8: <% for item in @cart.cart_items %> 9: <li id="cart_item_<%= item.book.id %>"> 10: <%= render :partial =>

In an early section on Action View, showing code being put directly into the rhtml file: <% require ''date'' DAY_NAMES = %w{ Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday } today = Date.today %> <h1>Hello, Dave</h1> <p> It''s <%= DAY_NAMES[today.wday] %>. Tomorrow is <%= DAY_NAMES[(today + 1).wday %>. </p> I get this

This is kind of frustrating (but no doubt helpful in the long run) that after following along and coding , and d/l the code the same error is appearing. For those who are familiar with the depot app, I''ve run into a problem after fixing the cart to reflect quanitites. I worked through the intended error messages but now have this appearing: SyntaxError in StoreController#add_to_cart

This might seem really simple to some but just wanted to ask: what is the difference between @session[''user''] and session[:user] ? and how would you use each? And another question, I have the following code: def get_customer if @session[''customer''] @c = Customer.find(@session[''customer'']) end end private def

Hi, What is the simplest way to validate a positive integer? validates_numericality_of :foo, :integer_only => true how do I add the positive part? Do I need another validation statement for pattern matching or do I have to write a validate() funciton for my model? Thanks, Peter

Dear all, Help me get a simple AJAX behavior right. I know zero AJAX, thus please advice. Below is a simplification of the real code and I hope I can describe my intention clearly. class StoreController < ApplicationController def show_cart @cart = Cart.new @new_item = CartItem.new end def add_item @new_item = CartItem.new(params[:new_item]) if

Hi, I am having a problem saving a new model that has an associated child model. If a new ticket is being created and will have one comment to go with it then I tried this in my action @ticket = Ticket.new(params[:ticket]) @comment = Comment.new(params[:comment]) @ticket.comments << @comment if @ticket.save @notice = "Ticket added.

Hi, I''m interested in using a currency conversion web service in my rails app. Does anyone have a free service that they use and like? I found this one http://www.webservicex.net/WS/WSDetails.aspx?CATID=2&WSID=10 I''ve tried to make a simple, plain Ruby script to connect to this and get a conversion rate without success. How do I integrate a webservice into my rails app? I

I''m trying to implement a remove from cart method based on the examples in the second edition Agile book. I have everything working except for the RJS that removes items from the cart. Ideally what I''d like to do is highlight an element that I am deleting only if there is more than one of that particular item in the cart. If the item deleted is the only of
