Hi, in the tutorial "4 Days on Rails" the following code fragment is used: ,---- | <% for column in Category.content_columns %> | <td><%=h category.send(column.name) %></td> | <% end %> `---- Apparently, the send() function returns the column value by name, but where does this function comes from? Unfortunately, neither the tutorial nor the API

Hi, how can I get the current URL withing a controller? There seems to be no appropriate method in ActionController::Base. I''m creating a site, which requires a login for some pages. I''m using before_filter for authentication. My idea was to store the currect URL in a session before redirecting to the login page and then redirect to this URL after successful authenfication.

How do i get (discover) all the table names within a database using ROR/ActiveRecord ? I wish to build a webapp that connects to a database on the fly, discovers tables and column names etc and then can show data or build a report based on user selection.

Hi, A little question. I''ve written a method that uses PDF::Writer to generate a PDF document with some images and text. This is the code on my controller: def pdf gen_pdf redirect_to("#{@request.relative_url_root}/pdf/cupones.pdf") end private def gen_pdf pdf = PDF::Writer.new(:paper => "A4") pdf.margins_cm(0) pdf.start_columns(2, 0) pdf.select_font

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"

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

Hi. I''m a newbie at this, so please bear with me. I have several classes which model several corresponding tables. All of them seem to work except one. I have not made many modifications from the scaffold templates. However, with one class, Log, all methods give me the following type of error NoMethodError in LogController#create undefined method `save'' for

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

Hi, in the past few months someone posted an entry on their blog about how to do validations in non-AR classes and I cant find it any more. Anyone have a link? Thanks, Trevor -- Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

I have a couple forms that I''d like to be able to validate and automatically populate, but it shouldn''t be based on AR. In fact I often have a bunch of small forms that I can''t really justify writing a whole new model class for anyway. I''d like to validate the form input, and then use rails helpers to automatically populate the form if validations fail.

Hi, I think the columns and table in migration should be able to have an optional "display_name" set manually. Something like: create_table :people, {display_name => "Personne"} do |t| t.column :first_name :string, :display_name => "Prénom". end Let me explain my point of view: Rails is a framework made to write programs in English. You see it when you
