similar to: sessions (newbie problem)

Hullo, fellow Railsers! (warning: this isn''t a 100% Rails specific question, but I guess it very much applies to what a lot of us are currently doing.) For a project that involves messageboard functionality I''m looking for a good way of sanitizing user input, so the silly fools, err, my wonderful users don''t mess things up too much. I''ve played around with

Hi Bill, No I am not using Instant Rails. >There are lots of variations possible. Typos and capitalisation represent the largest proportion of errors I personally have made. Thanks a lot....solved the problem. Changed recipes (plural) in controller file to recipe (singular). That teaches me to pay *real* attention to casing. (forgive me, I am from the VS and VB world :-) >Actually,

Hi I am a newbie to Ruby on Rails, but experienced in programming. I am trying out Rolling with Ruby on Rails article by Curt Hibbs on onlamp.com. I have encountered following error: Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id I searched the archives of the list and found that similar question was left unanswered.

Hello, I really don''t understand how to use in_place_editor_field In my controller : class Admin::CategoriesController < Admin::BaseController in_place_edit_for :category, :title def list @categories = Category.find_all end end In the view list.rhtml <% @categories.each do |c| %> <td><%= in_place_editor_field :c, c.title %></td> # snip <%

Hi all! I have just found something very strange. Let''s imagine that I have posts that belong to an author. If I do the following (the order doesn''t matter): apost.author = Author.find(3) apost.author_id = 2 I get a post that has both an :author_id => 2 attribute, and an associated Author with id 3. Then, post.save, and the author_id in the DB is 3. I think that this

Under Rails 2.3.2 using a completely brand new project, I have 2 models: class Author < ActiveRecord::Base # name:string end class Book < ActiveRecord::Base # title:string belongs_to :author # author_id end And a simple test where i create a Book with an Author using the belongs_to and then update the foreign key directly: require ''test_helper'' class BookTest

After much ado about the naming of model adn controllers... model : Expense controller : Expenses route : map.resources :expenses Here I am using mysql database and created a unique index, since db:migrated created an id object and made it as primary key. Now in the def create @expense = Expense.new(params[:expense]) if @expense.save flash[:viola] = ''New expense saved.. be

I receive the following error: Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id when trying to use the in_place_editor_field tag: <% for employee in @employees %> <%= in_place_editor_field :employee, employee.fname %> <% end %> My model is called Employee and is being populated from a controller method employees_list:

Regarding validates_associated... Let''s say I have: article belongs_to author But for whatever reason, I want an article to also be written anonymously and therefore not require an author. Then I have: Article: belongs_to :author validates_associated :author But I DON''T have validates_presence_of. What I want to do is validate that an author is valid --if it is

(This message was originally written on StackOverflow -- the formatting is much prettier there -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1283046/problem-with-setter-override-on-activerecord) This is not exactly a question, it''s rather a report on how I solved an issue with write_attribute when the attribute is an object, on Rails'' Active Record. I hope this can be useful to others

I''m following Agile Edition 1. On page 148 it suggests using instance variables named after the fixture, for example: assert_equal @version_control_book.id, @product.id When I introduce this type of instance variable into my test, I get the following error: 1) Error: test_not_owner(GroupTest): RuntimeError: Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the

I''m working on a gem <https://github.com/bradrobertson/apartment> that sets properties on ActiveRecord models (such as table_name) dynamically based on a user config option. I have an initializer that achieves this. My problem however is that in dev mode, these classes are reloaded, so they don''t maintain these values set. So I thought I''d use a railtie to
