Le''s say that I have a table called people and the column middle_name is nullable. If the user enters say blank or empty space then in the database it is recorded as empty space. I would like in all my models all empty spaces to be recorded as null. I guess I can write a plugin which will do so for all the models but I''m sure something like that should already be existing.I

validates_presence_of :fname results in the error message "Fname can''t be blank". What I want is "First Name can''t be blank". I could do this def validate errors.add_to_base("First Name can''t be blank") if fname.blank? end I find this clunky and I have to put everyrhing in the validate method. Is there an easy to get what I want. I

I have following line in route.rb #event info for an event name map.connect ''event/:name_url'',:controller => ''home'',:action => ''event_info'' It causes a URL like http://localhost:3000/event/_jewels_exhibition_ to be sent to the home controller with action as ''event_info''.

See here: http://www.37signals.com/openbar Say you have two applications: 1) Basecamp 2) Highrise How would Highrise know that the user (with the same OpenID credentials) exists on another application (Basecamp)? Is there something involved for that to happen? Are they using ActiveResource to fetch the external user table, and then searching for that OpenID? -- Posted via

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(50) not null, time_zone varchar(50) not null, ... primary key (id) ) and a class like class Account < AR ...

I realise that this is kind of a basic question but I''m new to rspec and still trying to work out how to do things. I''m working on a rails project that requires basecamp integration via the api, which is fairly trivial to use via the basecamp.rb wrapper: Connection: basecamp = Basecamp.new(APP_CONFIG[''api_host''], APP_CONFIG[''api_username''],

Is there a Rails-friendly way to redirect_to an url and post some parameters with that? I''ve tried: redirect_to("http://whatever.com", { ''postme'' => ''this'' }) redirect_to("http://whatever.com", :post => { ''postme'' => ''this'' }) redirect_to("http://whatever.com", :options

I''m looking for a good web-based to do list app. Essentially, I''d like to use Basecamp''s todo management system, but that''s not an option since I can''t install Basecamp on a server I own. The information being tracked in the list cannot be sent out of my intranet. I would imagine that there are a couple of open source rails apps that would meet my

I''ll pose a question partly for fun, partly out of interest to see what everyone else is doing to survive the pain of the day job. It''s for the professional J2EE developer converts out there. Let''s say someone hired you to write a Basecamp clone, but it has to be done in Java, say on the Tomcat or JBoss platform. What does your stack look like now that you''ve

Seeing as how the new Basecamp API reflects a similar use of RoR that I have been working on I''m curious as to what we can expect to be extracted from there in 0.13? Was the API written as an ActionWebService or just as a set of controllers? Any generic AR xml parsing/output methods that we may see in 0.13? Any reason you decided to do everything with HTTP Get instead of utilizing

hi, Cant find any information this anywhere so was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Basically when you go to basecamp.com it allows you to sign up for a account and gives you a url username.projectpath.com I was just wondering how they do this, and if each account has there own database or if it is all stored in one. thanks scott -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
