Hi all, I have an array of shipping_type''s being returned, and I want to see what is in there. In the past I have done: shipping_type.include?(Cart::SHIPPING_TYPE_REGULAR).should be_true This works, but looks really ugly.. It just doesn''t roll of the tongue very well. I then looked up the use of Predicates, which I had been using, but hadn''t realized:

Hi all -- The simple question is: How do I set different validations for the same Model, when accessed in different Controllers? Here''s the scenario: I have a store/cart app, with a customer-facing shopping cart, and a typical Admin side. The Admin side also has an Order Entry component, where our staff can enter orders received by fax, telephone, etc. Both the customer-facing cart

I am really new to Ruby and Rails but as you probably see I am trying to get the shopping card working from the book. I am getting this error but I really don''t know what to do. I have looked up several of topics that stated the same problem but as far as I am, nothing has helped me out yet. Is there something wrong with the Product model? This is in the StoreController and I believe it

I have a shopping cart function, and I''d like to set it up to update the cart with AJAX. My AJAX call will return a view that displays the cart items. My question is with regards to keeping things DRY. When the user goes to "view cart", that page needs to display the cart, then the cart display needs to update with AJAX calls when items are added from that page. It would

I have a partial, it''s a shopping cart display, it''s designed to appear on several different pages of my site. One of the buttons on the shopping cart empties the cart, and then I want the calling page to redisplay. In other words, the cart controller needs to return the visitor to the same page -- however since the cart could appear on any given page, this has to be

Hi folks, I''m putting together a site that will have a shopping cart tab along the top which, when clicked, slides down to reveal the full contents of the cart (covering the page underneath it). When designing it and getting the styling right, I had the page display the cart fully open by default. This worked fine - the cart can close and open any number of times without problem[1].

I am using this line on my index.rhtml page to capture the quantity required of a particular item for a basic shopping cart app: <%= text_field ''line_item'', ''quantity'', {:size=>3} %> </td> but my next screen (a cart screen) doesn''t reflect what was entered in that text field when the item is added to the cart. That is,

hi, I have a draggable element (cart-item) in a shopping cart <%= draggable_element "item_#{product}_#{i}", :revert => true %> When this element is dragged outside the cart into the "main_div", I want to show a puff effect and remove the element. When it is dragged within the cart, it should revert. So i wrote this code for drop_receiving _element <%=

Hi all, I am writing a simple shopping cart which will consist of a single class. There will be no DB table for carts so I do not want to make my Cart a model. But where do I place my Cart class so that I can access it in my controllers? I want to be able do do things like this (for instance in a shop controller): def add_to_cart @session[''cart''].add(article_id, amount)

Hi there, I''m at a loss... I was on the #ROR channel last night and spoke to a really helpful person (Defiler) who gave me some direction on building a shopping cart. Unfortunately, I wasn''t able to successfully get to where I need to go. This is the predicament I am currently finding myself in: I''m building a shopping cart for a client''s new website. They

Help, i''ve been trapped on the tracks here for a day now in the Agile w/ Rails book (latest edition) I can''t get page 115 to display. It says: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occured while evaluating nil.each Extracted source (around line #3): 1: <h1> My Agile Cart</h1> 2:

Hi, I have an online store and I would like to simulate a complete shopping trip which involves several controllers? How can I write a test that calls actions from different controllers in a particular sequence? Something like the following which involves department, product, cart_item, and cart controllers. get department 5 check it has a link to product 4 get product 4 post cartitem/create get

We''re currently looking for volunteers on the new RailsCart[1] project. The idea is to build something relatively simple with all of the features that most open source shopping carts seem to be missing. We''ll be using ActiveMerchant for all of our payment gateway needs. We''re not trying to build the ultimate shopping cart. This is designed for Rails developers who need

Hello everyone, I''m a complete Rails newbie who is currently working my way through the Agile Web Dev with Rails book. I''ve reached the chapter on creating the shopping cart (chapter 8). I keep having a problem with the same error which I can''t get past, however what''s more confusing is that it''s being generated even when I swap all my app code out

I have a site running the current version of Centos 4.2, it has a shopping cart running on it and runs slow and times out at random. The cart is a simple php package using a MySQL database backend. Can any one think of ways to improve the speed in MySQL and Apache, I've had the cart checked by the software vendor, it's working like it should, they are pointing to MySQL or Apache and

When I add an item to the shopping cart, I get an error: undefined local variable or method `cart_item'' for #<#<Class:0x3715a78>:0x3715a48> Session info says the cart being updated properly. I''m just not able to output two variables: <%= cart_item.quantity %> &times; <%= h(cart_item.title) %> I did some research, and I can grasp that local

Hi, I''m trying to make a simple shopping cart, where I want to maintain state when a use logs in from different location. Consider the following : 1. ''foo'' logs in from home pc and add ''bar'' item to the cart. 2. ''foo'' goes to office and logs in from office PC. 3. Now I want only one session for ''foo'', so that when

I just started to learn RoR because I need to create a relatively simple but important application due next month. The Shopping cart app in this book is going ok but I have a question. Is the complexity of the shopping cart example in this book representitive of a real world application? Note that i am not saying if the application is production quality, I mean the

Hi, I am really enjoying the experience of writing my first web app in Rails. I particularly like the instant feedback the framework offers when developing in small increments and I am learning new things all the time. However since I develop alone and my inexperience with rails I?m asking for help to answer some design questions that I have regarding my first app. After reading the Agile
