I''ve spent all day digging through the rails api and postgres-pr on this, I think it''s time to ask the list. Postgres stores a Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. My users want the dates in MM/DD/YYYY format. Sure, I could explicitly convert it on the app level every place where a date is displayed, but that seemed like a DRY violation. I thought I''d be clever and simply

This is a little off topic but someone here knows, I''m sure... Does anyone have a good site to find freely available standard icons for things like add/edit/delete/save? I''m looking for a set of clean and simple matching icons that capture that Railsy-Web 2.0 feel... Maybe icons aren''t Railsy... Steven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve been hunting the web and reading the mailing lists all day but I''m not finding any guidance on this problem. When I try to talk to my mongrel it simply responds with NOT FOUND and nothing else. I can''t find anything on google because this has to be the second most commond phrase in existence. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Chuck Vose

Is there a nice way in rails to automatically extract an exising database schema from an existing app and then in a new app automatically create a database based on this schema? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Do you often find yourself doing this: active = double(''active'') active.should_receive(:first) users = double(''users'', active: active) account.should_receive(:users).and_return(users) for this: account.users.active.first ? Of course, we could use stub_chain, but that doesn''t let us know *where* the chain broke. Would you like to do this?

I''m rewriting the code to my first app. I want to reuse a lot of it, but tidy it up a lot. The first thing I will tackle is my nav-bar. Throughout a user''s experience on my app, I want it to reload as little as possible (I''ll have about 7 or 8 controllers with about 70 actions). So, I''ve thought of a few ways of doing it, and was wondering if you guys

Hi, I am using gettext to let my web application know several languages. All works fine, but since I integrated it, my functional tests don''t work any more. I keep getting the error message: NoMethodError: undefined method `cgi'' for #<ActionController::TestRequest:0xb77f7f88>. All right, TestRequest doesn''t have a cgi method. Therefore I just included this into

I have a Rails app that is a directory indexer. It passes the desired directory path in the url. There is a user table, and a permissions table (which contains the volumes each user has permission to see). There is also a volume table, which contains the available volumes, and a path table, which contains the paths to every file available on the machine. [There are other tables, but these

Hi, I''m just learning Ruby on Rails and ran into something where I know I''m either doing something very stupid or I''m missing something. My model as a boolean attribute called active_flag. In my Sql Server database this is stored as a bit value. I then setup a method in my controller called "deactivate". This is very simple, it does: def deactivate

Is there such a thing? I am thinking of an application that has something like this: 1. person has many things - there is a ''persons'' table 2. the things he has are stored in a table that is something like this person_id, thing_table_name, thing_id For example, it may map to person1, books, 23 #Person 1 owns book 23 person1, books, 25 #Person 1 owns book 25

Howdy all Apologies to the folks subscribed to the globalize list for dual posting this message... I''ve got a project running globalize and rails 1.1.4, and I''ve only recently adopted a strong love for testing.

Hi all, I have created projects module in my application using scaffold, and it created me everything, and all the modules are working except the functional test.

I have an HTML form on the screen, that is connected to a database (standard Ruby way). I found that there are people that would rather not fill in this information, but would rather search Amazon for the info. Therefore, I added a link to the right of one of the fields that, when pressed, will search Amazon for what ever you typed into that field. So, how can I do that? At first I tried

I have the following code in environment.rb: require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), ''boot'') raw_config = File.read(RAILS_ROOT + "/config/config.yml") APP_CONFIG = YAML.load(raw_config)[RAILS_ENV] This works fine when running the server, but if I try and start a console I get: Loading development environment.

Ok, I am interfacing with the del.icio.us API and I want to collect the links in an @instance variable for my view. But I''m having trouble with that part.

I''ve got a RoR app that will be going to production soon (in the next month or so) and would like to get some feedback on what kind of web server setup people have had good luck with. I''m looking for something that is: 1. Stable 2. Easy to setup 3. Secure (sorry but Windows is ruled out here) My deployment will either be on Fedora Core 5 or possible Mac OS X Server.

Hi all, I''m trying to validate a data field. I''ve added ''validate_presence_of :name'' to the record model, but when I try to create a record i get an error complaining that it can''t find data from another table that also is updated on that page. Let me explain further, On my ''record'' update page, I have data from another table

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,

I''ve got a couple apps that I use (billing app, support ticket app, some other custom apps) that I want to integrate into one site. They will all use the same layout for the most part, and will link between each other. When I initially thought of doing this, I figured if I put the apps at different roots - /billing /support etc - then the links wouldn''t work at all, because
