similar to: Accessing the Model class from Controller

Hello, Rather new to RoR, so I''m not sure about the terminology and such :-/ . My question is: how could I know the model which is associated to a controller? For example: - controller class is TestController, which is a subclass of ApplicationController - associated model class is Test How could I write some code in a method of ApplicationController to dermine the current

Hello, How can I pass a hash as parameter from a template with url_for? e.g. : if I have test = { :a => "a", :b => "b" } How can I pass that with my request? Is it possible to pass nested hash''es to? Right now, url_for :action => :test, test doesn''t seem to work. Thank you, --

Hello, I have a People table and a Addresses table. A person can have one or more addresses, but should at least have one, so there is a address_id field in People. Now, I would like to have a form to fill the name of a new person and its address from the same place. I could use person.address.country, for example (it works), but I would like to simply use person.country for some reasons

Hello, I always have the same kind of design problem, which I am not sure how to solve correctly: - say I have a variable, "status", which I want to calculate once in my controller, and access a couple of times in my view - "status" variable initialization could happen in a subclass, overriding the regular method for that What I do now is using an instance variable

One more question: Is there some way to set the human_name of a column? e.g.: human_name for column address1 shouldn''t be Address1 but "Address, line 1". If not, should I make a hash with my custom names?

Hi. If i had a RoR application dealing with very reserved personal informations about my customers, if my hosting provider would like to, i guess it would be easy for him to steal the data by simply peeking the username and password inside the database.yml file.

Hi All! I''m searching a good way to set some options in my Controllers; I tried defining a custom function, ie: class PeopleController < ApplicationController set_my_actions :action1, :action2 end class ApplicationController def self.set_my_actions(*args) @@my_actions = args end end But ''@@my_actions'' sets the class variable to _every_

Hello, We have some strange problem which could be related to authentication here. All our user info is in an openldap directory. We normally use pam/getpwent in dovecot to access our user accounts, via nss_ldap/pam_ldap, but we tried to connect directly to the ldap server, with the very same results. We have one user (out of 100) which just cannot use dovecot with pop3. His

Hello, I''m wondering If I am missing something here when creating an example that sets an expecation at the top or beginning of an action but requires you to stub / mock everything that follows. Example: I want to test that a certain controller is running a before_filter...thats easy: - controller.should_receive(:require_user) - do_get But now i''ve got to mock / stub

Hi again, Is it possible to call a method of the superclass within a method with the same name in the derived class? e.g. : call Test::list from SubTest::list (SubTest being a subclass of Test)?

In a Rails controller I set the scope on a model class in an around filter. I have defined expectations on the model classes, and ideally, I would add a further expectation for the scope. Is this already possible in some way? How would I go about adding support a scope expectation? Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/

Hi, I''m trying to write a plugin that should inject an action into the controller. Please note, not just an instance method, but also an _action_, one of those that are listable by running ControllerClassName.action_methods. I wrote the following code: def render_field_search(name, object, controller, options = {}) controller.class.class_eval do

So, I''ve been following the recommendations for controller specs here: http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2006/11/09/tutorial-rspec-stubs-and-mocks Most notably: a single expectation per specify block; the setup block contains only stubs; mock expectations each get their own specify block. (I''m still using 0.8, so I haven''t gotten the describe/it goodness yet.) I
