Hi- Ruby 1.8.2 Rails 1.1 so I''m trying to build my first rails app and I''m trying to understand how the helper methods work. For instance .new & .save . For instance, I''ve created a table of Objects, and generated a scaffold. I see that in the controller, there are calls to Object.new and Object.save. I''m assuming that these are methods inherited

How can I paginate a set of fields in descending order based on their created_on date? For example, in a blog app, you want the very first entry on the first page to be the most recent. I see that paginate has an :order parameter, but I don''t see any way of changing the direction of the order. Thanks, Jeff Coleman -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have... class OrderController < ApplicationController model :order scaffold :order def list @orders = Order.find_all_by_status(@params[:status], :order => "date" ) end end class Order < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :customer end and i''m getting... /Unknown column ''orderdate'' in

I'm a bit confused as to how some of the values in a Sparc store instruction actually come to be set. The Sparc backend defines a store as: def STri : F3_2<3, 0b000100, (outs), (ins MEMri:$addr, IntRegs:$src), "st $src, [$addr]", [(store IntRegs:$src, ADDRri:$addr)]>; F3_2 and it's superclasses are defined as follows:

I have built a few sites with Rails, however I have been approached by a company wanting an e-commerce / online shop built. I would love to build one in rails with the knoweledge I now have. I have the agile book and the pickaxe book they are my reference guide. However there is virtually nothing on creating real world e-commerce sites in rails. They will be selling to both businesses and the

I''m having a problem converting a date retrieved from my MySQL database and I''m hoping someone can help. MySQL stores the date/time as this: 2005-03-08 17:00:34.0 and according to my Pickaxe book Ruby stores times as "the number of seconds and microseconds since [...] January 1, 1970". All well and good. Unfortunately, RoR is converting my date to this:

Hi Can anyone tell me what the basic steps are to do a remote login? I''ve got an app using the acts_as_authenticated plugin, and want to add some forum functionality. Opinion (http://home.leetsoft.com/Opinion) says it has the ability to remote login users but no documentation. And I''m afraid I don''t really know where to start trying to tie this in. If anyone could

Hi all, A bug popped up recently when I upgraded to fedora core 2 (from core 1). Whenever I used the bitmap() function, ghostscript complained that it couldn't handle png or tiff devices. This was NOT a bug with R. It was with the version of ghostscript shipped with core 2. Going to rawhide and getting ghostscript 7.07-29 (core 2 comes with 7.07-25) solved this problem. Unfortunately, I

I''m sure this is really obvious but I''m feeling my way here with rails (and Ruby) and have tried a couple of things without success. So, can anyone tell me the best way to reverse order the retuen list of ancestors. In the controller I have: @ancestors = @category.ancestors which returns an array starting at the parent and ending with the root. When I then loop through the
