similar to: four days on rails - nil object when you didnt expect it

I have the following helper method in application_helper.rb: def format_date(date) day = to_s(date.day) month = to_s(date.month) time = to_s(date.time) date = day + "/" + month + " - " + time return date end I am trying to call this method in a view like this: <%= format_date(bounty.created_on) %> create_on is a timestamp in mysql.

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

Hello all, Rails 1.0.0 created_on is being set to 2000/01/01 00:00:00 Any ideas on this ? Thanks! Schema is create table user_login_history ( id int identity(1,1) not null, user_id int not null, created_on datetime default(getdate()) not null, created_at datetime default(getdate()) not null, updated_on datetime default(getdate()) not null, constraint pk_user_login_history primary key clustered

Hi everybody I am totally new to rails and I am trying to start a tiny project to get familiar with rails. But I already got my first problem and I would be happy if somebody could point me in the best and cleanest direction. I am trying to develop a small gallery app. Since I would like to add more features in future I am trying to design a clean OO architecture of my models: The base object

I was trying to do SUM based mySQL query simliar to the following: SELECT SUM(updated_on - created_on) AS total from signups If I were to run this command in the mySQL console I would get a result. However, if I were to run it using the following command in Rails: Signup.find_by_sql("SELECT SUM(updated_on - created_on) AS total from signups") The query that is written to the log is:

Hello all, I''m creating a many-many join table between ''homes'' and ''users''. Can it contain created_on? will AR update created_on, updated_on on this table? CREATE homes_users ( home_id int not null, user_id int not null, created_on datetime null, updated_on datetime null ) Thanks for your advice! -- ------------------------------ Apple MacBook.

I have a model which has the created_on and updated_on fields. I would like to find the newest instances of my model from the database(for instance, last 10), but as I''m only 6 weeks into my Rails development, I''m not entirely sure how to do it. Any suggestions? Thanks, David

All, My initial list is rather busy. I would like to shorten the created_on and updated_on fields to just display the date, not the time. Best wold be a simple 12/28/05 type of presentation. I''ve found the format helpers in rdoc. (ie. distance_of_time_in_words_to_now ), but none seem to be what I''m looking for. How do I control the date format of a timestamp field? Thanks

Hi All, I''ve tried to do my searches, but can''t find reference to this anywhere - My question is about ActiveRecord inserts and IDs. I have a join table that both the models of the source tables join with "has_and_belongs_to_many". It seems like ActiveRecord is setting the "id" field for the join table- This should be an auto_increment and

Hi All How do I access a model from within the application.rb? What im tying to do is pull some data from a model (news in this case) that must be displayed on each page within the entire application. I know I could drop this into each controller, have each view pull it from the controller, but thats repeating myself... So whats the best way to do this (as I dont think models are visible

I have a very simple problem. I can''t seem to access a the fixture by name I have a sites.yml with: simple_site: id: 1 name: demo description: A demo site created_on: 2005-10-25 00:00:00 updated_on: 2005-10-25 00:00:00 And I have a test class as: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class SiteTest < Test::Unit::TestCase fixtures

So after successfully getting the test SQLite db to run from memory, I tried running some tests but found that somewhere in the schema translation from Postgres (my devel database) and SQLite Rails fails to properly set the ''id'' column, which breaks all kinds of things. Take as an example my ''users'' table. In Postgres the schema is (generated with pgAdmin III):

I am a newbie and I am running into a problem which I cant understand. I have a table called ''privileges'' which has the following fields CREATE TABLE `sdqualplanner`.`privileges` ( `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `name` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '''', `description` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '''', `section_id`

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:

I done plenty of saves before in rails, but I must be missing something simple with this. Can a fresh set of eyes take a look at this and see why it is not saving: def addcash(uid) c = Trade.new c.attributes = {"user_id" => uid, "tradetype" => ''9'', "cash" => 10000} breakpoint if

Hi all, Not sure if Im doing this the right way (most likely not as I cant make it work!) I have an application that needs to put some content from two different tables(db) on every page within the application. What I thought I could do is write a small application helper that talks to the model and asks for the data. But I cant for the life of me work out how to actually talk to a model from

Hi! Definite newbie here - I''m working through this like-hate relationship with Ruby and Rails right now... sometimes things work really well (like blobs seem to rock) but other times, I dunno! :-) Anyway, I''d like put in create and update user timestamps on all my primary domain tables and allow them to be updated automatically by ActiveRecord.
