Hi, I have a couple of controllers, views, models and mailers for a given functionality (for example, user registration). ?what is the best way to share them between multiple applications so that I don''t have to copy them over and over again? Thanks.

I have a heap of fill-out-form/send-website-operator-mail/send-user-confirmation types of forms. It''s daunting when you think about how many files it takes to do this. I''m not coming up with an obvious "Rails" way to pull it off, so I thought it''d be good to know if anyone else has worked through this (7 per form!). models/ my_form_data.rb

Hey People, I''m fairly new to Rails and have perhaps an obvious question. I would like to know if there is a place that I can declare variables and methods that are globally available to all controllers. My main reason for this is I like to auto generate select boxes based off of the contents of a hash and would like to be able to do this in all views in all controllers, so that I do not

Anybody else think that mailers are more like controllers than models? After all, they even have associated views. And they''re not associated with any data (like a database table). Furthermore, if they were controllers, you could use url_for in their templates! Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I want a method to be accessible from everywhere in my app (it''s a Gaussian RNG) - I''ve already put them as protected methods in application.rb but that would only allow them to be accessed from controllers. I have a method in a model that needs access to this too, and I''d prefer not performing the calculations outside the model. Copying the method definition into the

Hi, I''ve a model with the following method: def self.run(sql) return connection.select_all(sql) end so, the value returned is an array of hashes... the problen is that the sql command: "select name, id from table" and select id,name from table" returns the columns in the same order (name, id). And in my view, I need to keep the order of the SQL command.

Hi all, I have a little function called format_price(price) that simply formats the argument as a dollar sign, dollar amount, dot and penny amount. Then, in a .rhtml file, I could do this: <%= format_price(item.unit_price * item.quantity) %> But where do I put the format_price() function definition? The app couldn''t find it in app/controllers/application.rb. Where do I put it

I''d like to create a validation function that I can use in all of my models. What''s the best way to create a method that will be available to all of my models? It looks like Helper methods only work in Views and methods in the Application class only work in controllers, so how do I make one for models? I hope this question isn''t too lame, it seems like something I

Allo, Just started playing around with RoR/scaffolding and have been impressed so far. However, it seems to create a 1:1 relationship between Controllers and Models and the basic CRUD actions -- I need to CRUD two models from the same views and actions. I have: Book model Book controller, with create/edit/show/destroy/list actions and the scaffold-gen''ed views. Category model Category
