I notice that ActiveRecord::Base.update_attributes() calls save(). What if I want to get an exception if the save fails? Is there a way to get the update_attributes() function plus the save! function? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all. I have two Rails applications. Each is on its own VPS hosted by Pipespring (excellent service btw). My app runs lightning quick - AFTER the first load. If I visit my site after a period of inactivity (i.e. no visitors to my site), it takes up to 10 seconds to load that first time. After that I can hop around with no problems. Has anyone run into this before? Ideas? - Rabbit

Random question: I''ve written a method for the String class that turns an arbitrary line of text in to an identifier, e.g.: "My, what a beautiful day!" => "my_what_a_beautiful_day" "(anb*#NF(AMNV" => "anb_NF_AMNV" We''ve got all these great names already like underscore, classify, titleize and things like that. I''d

The title pretty much describes my problem. I have a standard Ajax call to an action the updates a portion of my view. However, variables set inside the action are not available in my view. In fact, NOTHING that happens in my action seems to affect my view. Calling render :layout => false still gives me the flipping layout. However, I know the Ajax call itself is working because I can do

Hi all. Views associated with admin controllers must always specify both :controller and :action when using link_to. Example: <%= link_to ''Edit'', { :controller => ''/raid_manager'', :action => ''edit_raid_template'', :id => raid_template.id } %> The above is being called from within the Admin::RaidManagerController. The

Hi all. The subject pretty much says it. I''m running on a VPS-style shared server at pipespring.com. I''ve got Typo setup, and have been running it fine for about a month. However, today I got an e-mail from my host saying they disabled Ruby (chmod 000) because it was using waaay too much swap space. I haven''t changed anything with my server at all (Rails or otherwise)

Hello, I know it''s off-topic. But I''m sure you are using SQL and can help me ;) I''ve a table CARS and a table KEYS and a LOCKS table. CARS id|name 1|audi 2|ford 3|mazda 4|porsche ... KEYS id|car_id|lock_id 1|1|1 2|2|1 3|2|2 4|3|1 5|3|2 6|4|1 7|4|2 8|4|3 ... LOCKS id|name 1|main 2|spare 3|engine ... A car can have many keys. Keys are for different locks. How can I

Hello, how can I check if a destroy was successful? Is the object only frozen if deleted or do I have to do an additional find to see if there is a record left? What happens if an after_destroy callback returns false? Is there always a rollback? Markus

Hello again! I''ve another "what would you do in this situation" question. You''ve got 6 controllers, one named base. The other 5 controllers extend base. Currently they share one layout. Your layout displays navigation. However, there are two actions inside base for which you do not want navigation displayed (index, new). Do you... a) Add logic to your layout telling

Hi, how can I use Rails ActionController::Verification#verify :params when the hash key is in a hash? E.g.: params[:form][:textfield] and I want to verify that :textfield is a key in params[:form] Thanks Markus

ActionView is a very useful class, in its own right. But, calling it by itself causes a weird crash, exiting Ruby, without even raising an exception! ruby script/runner "begin; av = ActionView::Base.new; av.render(:inline => ''Hi!''); rescue => e; puts e; end" just crashes Ruby. Same with render(:file => ''template.rhtml'') Why is this?

I am try to use rsync from my windows box (under cygwin) to back up "My Documents" on to a debian server (known on my home network as roo.home) running rsyncd from inetd where it is run as root. my rsyncd.conf file sets the gid and uid to user backup.backup thusly:- syslog facility = daemon uid = backup gid = backup hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 timeout = 600

I am trying to set up rsync as a daemon under WindowsXP (professional) in order to be able to backup this machine on to a linux server. I am struggling with an issue I don't understand. I don't know whether it is an Rsync issue or a Cygwin issue, so I am asking both mailing lists. My WindowsXP machine has ip address 192.168.0.25 and name rabbit.home My Linux machine has ip address

I''m trying to use has_many :through, since my join model deserves being more than just an intersection table. But when I try to break the association, the break only seems "temporary": Let''s say my two tables are Users and Colors, and the join model is Favorites. user = Users.find(1) user.colors.length >> 2 c = user.colors.first >> #<Color:....>

I realize this is (mostly) off topic, but I'm befuddled as to *how* one can post to the Gmane Pan Users' group (gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user) using any nntp USENET client (e.g., Pan, on Centos). I'm already subscribed (by having sent an email to pan-users at nongnu.org); but I just want that USENET group to work like *this* USENET group, where I can post using a server:port

Hello, I am trying to build a regex to extract vowels and consonants from a string. So far, I am able to extract the basic a-e-i-o-u sequence using the following extension to the String class: class String def vowels scan(/[aeiou]/i) end def consonants scan(/[^aeiou]/i) end end examples: >> "Mary had a little lamb".vowels => aaaiea >> "Mary had a

Hello, what is the preferred way to do this... I have 2 controllers. Each has an index action. Now I want to include the rendered index view from TwoController in the index view of OneController. But a render :partial doesn''t execute the TwoController index action which sets variables for its index view. So maybe you can give me a short example how to do it. Thank you Markus

Hi, when I define a db column to be non-nullable or of length 20 or as numeric, I would expect rails to validate that, but that doesn''t seem to be the case. Any idea why that is? The metadata is accessible, at least in the mysql case. I am using rails 1.0 with mysql 5. Cheers, Mariano
