Hi, I would like to put a checkbox on a form where the input field is a variable rather than a field in a model. The normal way (with a model) would be: <%= check_box(''client'', ''accept'', {}, "1", "0") %> But since accept is a variable @accept and model client will not be there, how do I make a check box work?

Hi, i am new to rails and trying to understand the migrate feature of rake whenever I call "rake migrate", i understand it call all the latest version of a given of given migrate files. Now when these files are executed, id the #down method called and then the #up ? or must i explicitly call the #down method from rake. If yes how do i do that from rake ? I experimented with rake

Hello, I created a table and about 10 migrations down the line I decided that I needed to add an ID column (this was actually a table for a has_many :through and I recently realized that it needs an ID column, unlike HABTM tables). I am a big perfectionist and I frequently run "SHOW COLUMNS IN table;", so I naturally expect to see the "id" column the first one listed. However,

In the book there is an example how to convert DB payment value to more readable from. PAYMENT_TYPES array is defined and then in your views you can use it as Order::PAYMENT_TYPES. The problem is: how should I convert DB values (for example with type char(1)) to full string representation. I know that I can add a Hash to a model: IM = {''S'' => ''Skype'',

But it only does this the first time you call it with nil. The second time you call User.find_by_id(nil) it returns nil.

Does someone have an actual example of this? I saw DHH''s slides where he said that you could have your app automatically respond with HTML, XML, atom, whatever. So far I''ve found tons of discussion on REST and CRUD in Rails, but I haven''t seen anything that actually shows me what it all is. There''s simply_restful, which apparently makes things easier...I

I got a new 20 inch iMac dual core today and am busy getting it all setup. A couple of issues though: 1. Is the Ruby 1.8.2 install by Apple still botched or has that been fixed? I recall someone had fixed the rbconfig.rb to get it working. Is this something I still have to do? 2. Does anyone know if Locomotive is using the uniersal binaries, or is it targetting PPC yet? I couldn''t
