All, I''m having a hell of a time figuring out what is going on here. I''m trying to override one of my getters so that I can format it a certain way in my form. But I can''t seem to get text_field to call the appropriate method on my object. So here''s my getter: public def FAX fax = read_attribute(:FAX) puts fax

All, I have a form with the following field interaction rules. Given checkbox A, text field B text field C If checkbox A is checked then make text field C equal to the value of text field B and disable field C. If checkbox A is unchecked then enable field C. In order to display a form where I''m manipulating an already existing object, I have something like this in my RHTML template

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the

Hello all, I''ve been trying to use a facade column but I notice that the form helpers don''t seem to respect the facade. In the following example I''m trying to story the prices as Integer values but present them to the user as decimals. class Product < ActiveRecord::Base def price=(new_price) write_attribute(:price, Float(new_price)*100) end def price

All, My apologies if this is a little long-winded and stream of consciousness-y :). SUMMARY: Why do we extend ActiveRecord instead of mixing it in to our model classes? Been thinking about my app''s models and starting to want to build something of a hierarchy. I have some commonality across 3 of my model classes and I''d liek to aggregate the behavior in a superclass.

All, I''m wanting to initialize an ActiveRecord object. I understand that there is a method called after_initialize that appears to get called right after the ActiveRecord object is instantiated. Is after_initialize a Ruby thing or a Rails thing? Where is after_initialize documented? Can I pass parameters to it? If so, how? I want to initialize the "belongs_to" attribute of

All, I have some data that I need to be able to see across the application. For J2EE people out there, I need something that I want to have available in the "application scope" of my app. What is the best way to handle this?

All, I''ve downloaded and installed a plugin into my vendor directory. How do I then take advantage of it? It has an init.rb file which has the appropriate require. What do I need to do to make sure that the plugin code gets loaded? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am using a smallint database column to store several boolean flags. The flags are accessible thru facade column accessors. I''d like to hide the database column so all access is thru the facade accessors. How do I do it? TIA, Jeffrey

That's potentially a lot of work. I started looking at it and it would involve hiding the OpenBSD library under some other

Hello, I am trying to deal with a database table that contains a date in the form of the number of seconds since epoch. Data is inserted in this format by an existing script that I can''t change, so a schema change isn''t realistic. I would like to allow humans to view and edit this data in the form of an actual human-readable date. I figured a facade column would be the

CodeExtractor sort of does this. First, it's a utility, not a pass - you'd still need to wrap it up with pass that actually causes it to outlines what you want it to outline. Second, it's a bit buggy. There are, as far as I know, two in-tree users of this utility: bugpoint, and partial inlining. Both of them are fairly specialized use-cases, and don't actually exercise the full
