hi everyone, I hope someone can help me out with some active record basics? I''ve been banging my head for the past 4 hours and I can''t seem to get it to work. I am trying to add comments to a caption (just like how one adds a comment to a post in a blog). I seem to be able to read posts just fine from the DB, however, I can''t use the "recordComment"

Has anybody had Rails just refuse to cooperate with anything? I had an application working great in development mode, then switched it over to production, tried to host it, but couldn''t. Some error that I can''t figure out. So I decided to create a simpler application, host THAT in little baby steps until something went wrong so I could tell maybe where I was losing it.

I think I''m missing a step here, but they don''t seem to cover this in the AWDWR book... does anybody know the various steps required to switch from development to production mode in Rails? I''ve scoured the application and changed everything that stands out, but the damn thing is still running off the development database and won''t connect to the production

Does anybody know how to turn a floating-point number (i.e. 60.345) into an integer by cutting off or rounding the decimal portion? Either method, or both, would be quite welcome. Thanks! This forum rocks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi! Is there a (simple) way to use alternative field names in validation messages? For example, if I have a validator like this one: validates_presence_of :email how can I make it print a message like "E-Mail Address can''t be blank" instead of "Email can''t be blank"? I can override the "can''t be blank" part by using the :message

I''m using this: <% words = article.content.split(/ /) %> <%= words[0..20] %> to (ostensibly) split a paragraph into component words, with spaces in between, then print to html only the first 20 items, words and spaces. I got this (split(/ /)) from the online pickaxe book at http://rubycentral.com/book/ref_c_string.html#String.split . The problem is, the resulting array

Quick question - if i want to separate a long string of text, separated by single carriage returns, into an array of paragraphs, I can use the following code: paragraphs = article.content.split("\n") The "\n" means a carriage return, as far as I can tell. If I wanted to take text, that had been written using the more common double carriage returns, into an array of

Hi guys. Total newbie here. I''ve been doing web stuff since 1996 but only began the foray into scripting last year. I haven''t got my skull completely 360 degrees around OOP yet. It''s just me here (in Japan) and there are no Ruby groups in my area (never mind any in English). I''ve got a database table - real simple: question, answer, and id fields - and I

I''m starting a new podcast to cover some of the hot topics going on in Rails. Half news, half interactive, all community.

I''ve got a bunch of dynamically generated link paths that I want to use to link some dynamically-generated image paths. Specifically, I want to link thumbnails in a gallery to the larger images.

I''m trying to find a way to get from one rhtml page to another and taking a value along to use in the second page. Basically a user clicks on one of many download links and what should appear on the next page is all the available stuff related to that download, so I think if I take the id number of the first page then i can use if statements in the second page? Sorry if that sounds

I have just migrated to use Rail 1.1 from 1.0. In the progress of fixing and cleaning up the unit tests. I found the following problem. I am not sure if this is a bug or it is my environment. When I run "rake test_units, some of the index in association tables is not created, this leads to failures for some unit test cases. Thinking that may be because I didn''t setup the

I''d like to find all records that have a certain integer as their "level" field in the database. I know how to find all the records: allquestions = Question.find(:all) ...and I know how to find the one record that has a certain id: allquestions = Question.find(params[:id]) ...but how do you find all the records that share a certain value in one of their fields?
