We''re evaluating reporting tools right now, both open source and closed. I saw that a bunch of people on this list have considered Jasper/iReport -- is this coincidence, or is this the best open source report writer right now? The proprietary tool we''re comparing them to is Crystal Reports. Reports will need to be editable by end users, and they''re running Mac OS

Hi I use the scaffolded generated crud to handle my entries, and I cannot figure out how to reverse the list, what with the pagination. I can reverse the entries on a page, but not the entire paginated list. Also, it would be helpful to me to be able to redirect to the last page of a paginated list when I destroy, i figured out how to add such links to the view, but how to get from the

Using Ferret for searching, I''ve got results that I need to link to. Which is fine, except for that they''re displayed on paginated pages using Rails paginate function - so it''s not like I can''t get it from the database or anything else. Anyone have any ideas on how to go about this? It''s not so much a coding problem as a theory problem, and I

Pagination I am using an old tutorial which is tripping me right up as I have the latest version of rails installed. I''m persisting as I think I''m learning a little bit more about how RoR works. However after installing the scaffolding plug-in to fix an earlier problem I now have a problem with the pagination. I have followed this workaround:

Hello; I've been playing with a nifty Open Source java based report writer called Datavision (datavision.sourceforge.net) and I've managed to write enough logic to calculate phone bills at different rates from the MySQL cdr's. (cdr_addon_mysql) Eventually I want to have sets of rate structures for each user of the system - so I can bill client A at 3 cents a minute and client B at 2

Hello everyone, Has anyone linked Rails to a report generator such as Jasper Reports (http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/)? At the moment, I think I need something along these lines for a project I''m working on, so it''d be nice to know if anyone''s used it before before I bring it up as a suggestion. Doesn''t have to be JasperReports, and in fact I''d

The built-in Rails pagination is fairly limited...you pass in the model name, and optionally some conditions, and it generates a paginated query for you. This gets to be very bad if you''ve got any custom queries. class Company < ActiveRecord::Base def complete_videos Video.find :all, :conditions => "company_id=#{id} AND status=''complete''", :order

I put everything in a pastie to make it a bit more readable: http://pastie.org/593379 This is the gist: Will_paginate doesn''t play quite nice. The first result set is fine, and when I click on one of the paginated links, it returns the following error: Couldn''t find DictatedExam with ID=filter_widget observe_field triggers filter_widget which calls the paginated search.. Which

I''m just getting my hands dirty with caching. The pages I want to cache have some user specific data on them (for example "log out"). That sent me down the route of fragment caching. One of the things I want to pagination is a paginated list. My question is how is pagination and query strings handled with fragment caching? Does each page get its own fragment and query string

Hello, I want to know how can I paginate a set of records. It seems there is no direct way of doing this, and I am not able to understand the documentation of paginate, so any pointers on how to do this will be much appreciated. To be specific what I want is that the records returned by user.recipes, the recipes of the particular user be paginated. My attempt to do this failed because

hi i know i can do: @customer_pages, @customers = paginate :customers, :per_page => 8 but these customers have helpdesk calls which are child records.

I have a rather complex query that constructs the array @posts I''d really like to have these results paginated, but the nature of the query I''m running won''t let me use pagination the normal way.

How come I allways immediately run into difficult stuff when I''m trying some new programming language? Am I blind for the simplicity of Ruby/Rail, which a see must be there? Anyway, don''t try and answer this rhetoric question. I have got another one for you, seemingly difficult. I''m struggling with a n:m relationship (in a database, that is) and its join table.

Hello- I am building a discussion board-like application in which messages are associated with one or more workgroups via has_and_belongs_to_many. I would like to be able to display to my users a distinct list of messages for the workgroup(s) that they are part of in paginated form.

Hi, What is the proper way to save form values (e.g. search page) when using paginate? The 1st paginated page works fine, but when clicking another page all the form values received in the controller are nil. Do I need to retain the original form values using a session variable?

Hi all, I'm new to the list but I've been using markdown for a while and I wonder if it might make the things I've been doing recently easier if I could find a tool that does what I need. Essentially, I've been writing a lot of technical proposals of late (mostly using google docs), but I'd like to switch to writing them in Markdown (which handily means I can track revisions

I have several values that need to get passed on every link on a page that lists items. For example, as the user paginates, I need to keep the current sort value, how many items to display on the page, whether to show active or inactive items in the list, etc In addition, I want them passed through edit actions as well. The user edits a record, gets sent back to the list, it should be

Hi all, I was wondering how you guys generate reports from rails. I want to generate business reports in pdf format, and was wondering what you guys use.

Is it possible to generate good looking business reports with ruport? What other
