Hey everyone, I have a philosophical question here. Say I have a website that uses two models for accounts: Person and Company. Normally I would just have /accounts/new for user signup. However, the RESTful way to do it is to have /people and /companies. Unfortunately, this doesn''t account for a situation where you''d have a one-page signup form. I wouldn''t want

Hello everyone! In working with the Rails-REST-features I have always wondered about the URL for the new-action /objects/new In REST the URL should represent a Resource. As the semicolon is for adding non-standard actions (verbs) to a resource, IMHO it should be: /objects;new and not /objects/new In fact, this is just like an additional action, which I would specify with the

Question, and I''ll preface it by asking if this is the right list to be posting questions regarding anything past Rails 1.1.6 , (i.e. edgerails) ? In the latest revision of AWDWR there is a sample REST based app. During the creation of the controller and actions, there is a foot note that says: "7. By the time you''re reading this, there may well be support build into Rails

I''ve been looking into RESTful approaches lately. Everything I know my dog, Lelu, taught me. REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is an architectural technique for networked applications first described by Roy Fielding in his dissertation at UC Irvine-- excellent work, especially considering the tempting proximity of Newport Beach. As Lelu described it to me, REST strives

Hi, I''m looking for past efforts to integrate Rails and Needle. I am thinking of doing it myself but would be interested in seeing what others have done before. If there are examples of other IoC frameworks being used with Ruby I''d be interested in hearing about them too. I find IoC to be a helpful concept in general and, having glanced at a few existing Rails app.s, I

Is there any good information on doing WAP/WML/Mobile Internet Access with Ruby on Rails. I''ve tried surfing the web, but couldn''t come up with anything substancial. I would appreciate any input in this regard. Thanks in advance Gopal -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I want a page that lets users add members to a group from a longer list, or remove members from that group. I can use Ajax to transfer a name from the long list to the group, or drop an existing name from the group. But. If I add a person to the group, and try to remove without refresh, it doesn''t work. My link is formed by <%= link_to_remote ''add'', :url => {

I''ve had a couple ideas for Ruby on Rails shirt graphics for a little while now: 1. "Fuck You" superimposed over, oh, probably a Ruby gem. Or Rails of some sort. 2. "Ruby on Rails" superimposed over rails of cocaine. Maybe also with a graphic of a crazed looking coder. Anybody got graphics? Or can make them? Heh! Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have looked at many rails apps source code from the web and it seems there is no best practice when designing the database schema and models. For example surely it is recommended to include your foreign keys and constraints at the database level? Some people just rely on the activerecord associations, and don''t bother even placing a field for the foreign key in the tables? I

I started my app before migrations were a best practice and have been using SQL scripts. Now I''m looking at potentially having to move from using MySQL to postgreSQL to use a particular hosting provider. I understand migrations are the way to go to make this ''easy'' but it also looks like the use of migrations introduces extra work in other areas. I''d really

I need to split some information up between two servers, and wanted to use REST for it. I can write the REST server really easily...but I don''t know how I can actually use it. I downloaded Rails trunk to mess with ActiveResource, but it seems that it doesn''t have create functionality enabled yet. Is it possible to use AR fully? If not, what''s the best way to consume

I am following the instructions on how to use RESTful Rails plugin found at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/04/19/rest-on-rails.html?page=3. When I run the rake test:functionals I get the following error message: rake aborted! undefined method `first'' for :book:Symbol (See full trace by running task with --trace) How can I fix this problem? I am using Rails 1.1.4 version. TIA

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

While talking about my RailsConf presentation with Ben Wiseley, he suggested writing a book on the same topic... so I did! The Money Train is an e-book about building e-commerce sites using Ruby on Rails. Read my blog entry about it at http://www.bencurtis.com/archives/ 2006/06/rails-e-commerce-e-book/ or head to http:// www.agilewebdevelopment.com/book to dive right in. As always, a big

Z-Man, DHH recently said: "And [_why''s] latest work on sandbox looks stellar. Making it drop-dead easy to run multiple Rails applications in the same Mongrel process without conflicts. Thumbs up to both him and Matz for getting Sandbox on track for inclusion with the next Ruby release." Does that mean what I think it means - that one or more Mongrel processes may one day be

I''ve been trying to add unit testing for collection of models with complex relationships -- and failing miserably. Because of the complexity of the relationships, I''m using a database which validates foreign key constraints (PostgreSQL 8). I''m finding it nearly impossible to generate tests that are independent of each other. The basic problem is the DELETE then

I have three tables. users, posts, users_posts. This last one is to mark a post as read. How do I write to the users_post table? Here''s what I have: In model ''User_Post'' belongs_to :post belongs_to :user In post/view/show: <%= link_to "Mark As Read", :controller => ''post'', :action => ''post_read'', :user =>

Hello, I''m writing internal slides (fr government) presenting RoR, perhaps soon in CC licence. Can you point me to some reference where "Rails History" or "Why DHH choose to develop is "own" Framework" are discuted ? In fact I try to answer the background question "Why another framework ?" Thanks! Ciao''

I have gotten acts_as_taggable to work for a test application as documented on taggable.rubyforge.org I am following Chad''s excellent examples in ROR Recipes Beta book. I have a few questions and hope that Chad or some other expert can help clarify them. 1. Why is the book suggesting to use taggings table instead of tags_contacts, as mentioned on taggable.rubyforge.org?

In honor of RailsConf, I''m releasing an authorization plugin with 3 test apps that show you how to use the system. A reasonably lengthy description can be found here: http://www.writertopia.com/developers/authorization I will also be talking about the plugin''s architecture in my RailsConf talk on Saturday. Some features: - Nice English-like way of expressing permissions through
