Hello all, I''ve recently been working with a model with a lot of boolean attributes and I decided that it''s worth trying to implement a attr_boolean function to cut down on the work. Something like class User < ActiveRecord::Base attr_boolean :contact_by_email, :display_real_name, :administrator end which would replace the hand written class User <

Hello, I''m not sure if I''m missing something blindingly obvious here. All the relationships that Rails comes with assume 0..n, yes? It''s not a strict 1 to 1 or 1 to n because it''s optional. My question is this - What is the best way to implement a required relationship? For example, if I require that a comment is made by a user (a user has many

Hi all, I am mocking the following Rails view (inside a partial): <%= render :partial => "forums/forum", :collection => forum_category.forums.readable_by(current_user? ? current_user : nil) %> My spec fails with the following message: 1) ActionView::TemplateError in ''forum_categories/index (anonymous user) should only render forums accessible to anonymous

Hi all ! InPlaceEditor refreshes only the element that was updated. Is there any way to make it update tons of other stuff ? I have a table where changing a value in it causes changes in most other cells (weight to percentage to money).

Hi all, Yesterday, I had some problems reading JPG files in my tests. Turns out the problem was that Windows Ruby doesn't set it's Tempfile to work in binary mode. Since I deploy on Linux, that has never been a big problem, but now I'm working on some software that works with binary files exclusively. Anyway, I am making this fix available as a Rails plugin. The details can be

Hi ! I''m no expect when it comes time to configure Apache. I just enabled page caching in my Rails app, and am now looking at making Apache serve the cached files instead of calling into Rails. I know Mongrel is able to serve cached files if it finds them, but I''d like Apache to do it. Looking at .htaccess, there is this section: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ index.html

Hi ! I''m trying to connect to an https URL, but it seems it doesn''t work. Has anyone successfully connected from Ruby to an HTTPS server ? Thanks ! -- Fran?ois Beausoleil http://blog.teksol.info/

Hi all, If you are using Pound / Pen or another load balancer, I believe you should read this: http://blog.teksol.info/articles/2006/08/25/subversion-metadata-exposure-on-mongrel My article refers to Dan Benjamin''s http://hivelogic.com/articles/2006/04/30/preventing_svn_exposure My point is that even though we are preventing Apache from serving anything except a select few file

Whenever I do script/console I get an error message: Loading development enviroment. c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:151: in ''parse_opts'' : undefined method ''upcase'' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb: in ''setup'' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:54: in ''start'' from c:/ruby/bin/irb:13

I created a subversion repository on my new vps and i''m trying to setup my rails app there. However i keep getting this error: subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:2516: (apr_err=13) svn: Can''t create directory ''/home/svnadmin/rapleaf/db/transactions/0-1.txn'': Permission denied How do i fix this?

Hi all ! I can''t seem to make a simple thing work... The code is here: http://pastie.caboo.se/130660 Essentially, that''s a form with a couple of partials. The backtrace is included in the pastie. It looks like the context for the current view is lost when a partial is rendered. In _series.html.erb:2, I use "series" to get the name. This is the parameter I

What''s the best way to test the flash when you use flash#now ? For example, if I set the flash in my controller: flash.now[:notice] = ''This will only show up on this action.'' How do I test it? Normally I would do: assert_equal ''This will only show up on this action.'', flash[:notice] But this doesn''t seem to work with flash.now. Any

OK - I know this has been asked before, but I cannot find it in the archives. Forgive me if I''m creating more noise than I should. I want to know the easiest way to deal with this scenario: I have articles. I have categories for the articles. On the form where you write an article, there needs to be a free-form field to entire the category. The create() method will build the

Ruby Forum Search did not work, and I did not find any postings about http://laszlo-plugin.rubyforge.org/. OpenLaszlo is a framework handling the GUI part, or the V in MVC. See http://www.laszlosystems.com/lps/laszlo-in-ten-minutes/ for info about Laszlo itself. My question is, does anybody have experience with this framework, especially combined with Rails? Or, could I get some of the best

Hello everyone! I''m thinking of the right way to store tmp/ directory of Rails 1.1 project in Subversion. It has cache, session and sockets subdirectories. To me, it looks good to have svn delete tmp/* svn propset svn:ignore "*" tmp So it will ignore all directories and files in tmp/. Even if you create sessions/ and put some files in it, tmp/ content is still ignored. But

Hi all, I can't seem to make assert_select work for the more complex cases for me. Here's a sample: # View <%= link_to_remote 'Add new', :url => new_phone_url, :submit => 'phones_head' %> # Generated code: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request('http://test.host/admin/parties/phone/new', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true,

Hi, I''m calling a helper I''ve written - format_time() that is called from my views with a given time that was selected from my database and was returned to the view via an instance variable. When I call format_time from a partial, I see that I get some kind of String error and the partial won''t render. Basically, the object being passed in to format_time is already a
