similar to: Migrations question

Sorry - working on a simple tutorial but something is throwing me here. I''m supposed to get a Time.now() print to the page but it''s not working and I can''t figure out why. No errors are thrown my the page shows: Howdy, world! My name is Stuart Felenstein. This was verified at . So no time stamp showing. I went into IRB , did a Time.now() and it''s working

Are there any other tutorial than "Agile Web Development with Rails" that you can suggest? So far I can''t say that RoR has been easy to learn. :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I have to code a small application for a car repair shop running under Windows (98 SE but may be my client could upgrade to 2000) and using RoR is my definite choise ! The app will be powered by WebRick (which is enough powerfull for a small app used by only ONE user at a time) My questions are targeted to the best database to use... I had a look to SQLite and Firebird but support

I sort of asked this the other day but with no replies. I''m new to rails btw. Question: Is there a preferred way to create migrations ? What I''ve noticed is if I create a model first , it sets up the skelton of the migration. If I create a migration file and then do the model it attempt to create a migration file and not overide the one already in place. It seems to make sense

I really hope this is not a bad question (as in he''s abusing the list). However I could use a little direction (even though I''m reading books, tutorials) Right now I''m getting a undefined method `category'' for 4:Fixnum The specific lines from the rhtml file are: <td><%= link_to position.category_id.category, :action => "show", :id =>

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password. I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the parameter list. Can anyone offer up a suggestion. The book shows the method starting like: if request.post? user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,

I''m running script/console but keep getting the message that irb.bat is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. If it means anything I am running instant rails. I can invoke irb straight forward. TIA Stuart -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I know this shouldn''t be in the view but to test the code it is. Anyway if I do just session[user] I get back the user id (the id from the user table) which is good. However this code does not work. <% a = session[:user] %> <% uname = User.find(:first, :conditions => id = a) %> <%= @uname %> TIA Stuart

I have a site that is PHP on Apache / RedHat , but will send requests to a subdomain (running Rails) for database operations. I believe the set up should be to have ROR using Mongrel, and an Apache virtual host passing requests from apache to mongrel. Does this sound correct ? I believe the Virtual Host is set up in Apache. One of my problems is I can''t find the httpd.conf file for

I asked the other day about this problem but haven''t received a response. Trying again: I just downloaded 1.6 and can''t get a simple draggable to work, which is weird. I know it''s not my browser since the demos are working. Here is my simple code. I''ve also had the "new Draggable" between the select tags. Didn''t change anything.

I''m having a particularly difficult time undersanding one lesson from this book. This is in relation ot how one would grab "search" parameters from web forms to search for records in the database. I understand the :conditions part of find() but am confused on the code: 1- name = params[:name] pos = Order.find(:all, :conditions => ["name = ? and pay_type =

I want to create a migration file that creates multiple tables, so i''m guessing the correct format would be: Can anyone confirm ? I''m guessing that each new create script requires a seperate class so formatted this way. Perhaps I''m wrong. TIA Stuart class CreateTable1 < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :table1s do |t| t.column :length,

Sorry, but I have tried signing up for the RadRails list and never can get a confirmation email. I think it may not exist. Anyway, I created a project using just cli, now I''m trying to import the project with no success. I choose the directory and radrails just sits there not enabling the okay button Sound familiar ? Maybe I''m doing something wrong. Stuart

I''m digging around and googling but can''t seem to find what I think is a simple thing. All I''m trying to do is insert data in a migration into a table, using regular SQL statements. LIke this: class AddStateData < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up INSERT INTO states values ('''',''Alaska''); INSERT INTO states values

I''m thinking of experimenting with some currency conversion. However, I''d like the conversions to be in synch with the current rates. Anyone know (and this maybe out in left field) if there is some online (perhaps xml) or other data stream I can connect with in my code to output values based on user selection ? TIA Stuart

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

I''m having a problem getting the text area the size I want it to be. In my view at the top I have this init calls <script type="text/javascript" > tinyMCE.init({ mode: "textareas", theme: ''advanced'', theme_advanced_toolbar_location: ''top'' }); </script> Then in my form: <%= text_area

Apologies first, because I need to ramp up on Ruby and coding Ruby in Rails, however it''s my 3rd day with this beast :) so I''m asking : When I added protected methods to the model before it was like: protected method.................... end Would this be a valid way to write a protected method as well ?: attr_protected :column1, :column2 Perhaps this particular call

Hi everyone! I am looking for a good Javascript IDE. Complete code-completion, should understand object oriented models and anonymous functions. Any suggestions?

I''m trying to figure out how multiple partials in one page would be configured when they are based on some action in the controller. As an example - I have a main/welcome page. If someone new or a user not logged in arrives at this page I display both a registration form and a login form. However, if they are logged in then those forms should not show up on that page. Also should
