Hi, I''m new to Rails. I''m building a candidates tracking system for recruiting. I have a List page, but instead of listing every candidate, I only wanted to list the candidates in certain statuses. The first time List page is hit, by default, it lists candidates in status < 9. But on the List page, there is a dropdown where all the statuses are listed, so that when user

Hello, I''m using: Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 1.2.3, ferret 0.11.4, acts_as_ferret from svn stable. I''ve had quite a day wrestling with trying to remove the use of stopwords. The problem was that when searching for words like "no" or "the", no results were found. I found a confusing thing behavior that has taken me some time to figure out, and I hope sharing it

Hi, I''ve had one of my application broken this morning (French time) with this error : NoMethodError (undefined method `status_id='' for #<Facebooker::User::Status:0x2ad52d1c8478 @message={}, @time="0">): It appear that Facebook API had change in the status : a status_id node is new : <user> <uid>785637999</uid>

I have a question about how to implement a design in Rails. I will try to make this as easy to follow as possible. First, let''s say that I have an ''Orders'' table that has different statuses. The 3 statuses that I want to track are ''Submitted'', ''Approved'', and ''Purchased''. I also have 3 users of this application.

Sari, I got the list display working without doing an explicit find. It took a bit of a conceptual convulution to get it to work. I was thinking of it has Many Cases have One status. There is no support for Many-to-One so I was a bit stumped. Then I realized you just have to turn around your thinking to say One Status has Many Cases. Thus it is a One-to-Many relationship. That is descriped

I have a user model and a status model. Each user has a specific status (accepted, rejected, declined, etc). I have a form that allows the adminstrator to change certain options for a user, including their status. I''m using a drop down menu populated with the different status values, and a default option that says "Choose a new status" with a value of "". I want to

Hello, First the specs: ruby 1.8.6, rails 1.2.3, ferret 0.11.4, mongrel 1.0.1, mongrel_cluster 0.2.1 And the model''s aaf config: # Ferret search engine acts_as_ferret({:fields => {:name => {:boost => 10}, :summary => {:boost => 2}, :body => {:boost => 1, :store => :no},

I''ve had a number of occasions now where I want to find something in my model that is not on the primary object. For instance I''ve got a class Alert that has_one Status. Status has a "label". I want to find all of my Alert objects and order the results alphabetically by status label. Can I do that without going into SQL? Right now I find myself doing an

Hi all! I have ''send_status'' table which looks something like these: id code title 1 sent Sent 2 error Sending error 3 success Success Next I would like to associate some processed records with their ''send_status''. Is it better to use: 1) record.status_id = SendStatus.find(:one, :condition => "code=''sent''").id to

I''m no good at SQL and I have a question that will hopefully be fairly easy to answer. I''m using acts_as_paranoid which instead of deleting a record adds a deleted_at column with the datetime the row was deleted. I want to have a find_by_sql filter out any row where deleted_at is not null. I have (at least the relevant parts): #a couple working filters here. filters <<

hi guys, I need a recommendation for searching with regards to timestamp & foreign key attributes. Sounds a bit too much but here''s an example. Suppose we have a "blog" object. It has many attributes such as - title - content - status_id - created_at - updated_at There are also "status" objects which have the following statuses, "new",

I''ve been struggling a bit trying to figure out the best way to design/implement a system with authentication/authorization, and was hoping some of you may be able to offer some advice.. At the moment, I have a system with 4 different types of users - clients, administrators, sales_reps, and public_users. I''m using "Authorizing Users with Roles" from the Rails Recipes

I''m a complete newbie when it comes to Ruby on Rails. I have lots of experience in PHP, but yesterday was the first time I sat down and began developing using Ruby on Rails (I''m impressed!). Anyway, I''m having a problem with edit/update of records when using form validation. Here are my files for reference. ticket.rb ============ class Ticket <

Is there documentation somewhere on how RoR handles pluralization? I''m finding it head-scratching/table-thumping. I''m playing with converting an old PHP app to RoR. I used to have a table called "status_code" which was referenced by column "status". I converted the "status" column to "status_id" and the table to "statuses",

1. I have a text area in which I type on multiple lines..but when I display it, it prints whole text in one line..how can I solve that? Datatype is TEXT 2. I can see a list of all posts at ..post/ with index method but I want to see a particular post with ..post/[id] .. how can I do that? 3. I want my application to be completely secured and whatever page unlogged in user tries to open, it

Some of my earlier questions may have hinted ever so slightly in the direction that I''m trying to implement "enumerations". By an enumeration here I mean a class that has a fixed number of immutable instances, which in turn have essentially only a name and a position. Requirements I''ve tried to meet are - Enumeration instances should only be loaded once from the
