I found a tutorial for creating classes using generic functions ? S3 way ! It was short description so I couldn't grok in full its usage ... So far so good, what i currently do is something like this : Blah <- function(data,...) UseMethod('Blah') Blah.default <- function( ...... ) { self = .... class(self) <- 'Blah' self } Blah.some_method <-

I wanted to group some functions which I use in some models in one place. Controllers have application.rb and views have helpers but I couldn''t find anything about models. Using the /lib directory seemed to be the only way. Alright... so I have something like this: /lib/code.rb class ActiveRecord::Base def method_a(n) ....... end def method_b(n) ........ end end

The question I have is lets say I have a simple method in my worker as follows: def some_method SomeModel.find_all each do |obj| obj.some_count += 1 obj.save! end end It accesses the database, but

I maintain a directory structure containing dirs and files that I regularly push to ~50 hosts, which are divided into 3 groups that have slightly different needs (minor mods in a couple of files). So ideally I would have 4 directories: /path/to/sync/common/ <- common files /path/to/sync/group1/ <- group1 specific only /path/to/sync/group2/ <- group2 specific only

I am getting an undefined method error but the model is accessible

I have an app that requires me to define a class variable (actually an array) in a controller and then access it from within a view. It seems that the class variables aren''t working right. Here is an example of what I''m trying to do. class DisplayController < ApplicationController @@thumbnail_array = Array.new ... def some_method @@thumbnail_array = SomeModel.find_all

I was looking at Kyle Mawell''s extremely nifty-looking StateModels plugin http://www.kylemaxwell.com/articles/2006/02/06/fun-with-single-table-inheritance and before I go down the road with it, I was wondering if anyone has used it with file_column. The way file_column deals with an uploaded file -- by storing it to the filesystem in a path that employs the model name and id --

Hi, How can I validate user info under certain conditions? For example, I just downloaded a plug-in that allows me to validate phone numbers, but what I would like is to only validate the phone number if it is not blank and if the user_type_id field is equal to one.

Hi , It comes to me that helper has some weaknesses: 1) It is hard to test . No easy way to write test code for it. (or Just i didn''t know?) 2) Not easy to reuse it on other controller/view/model. it looks like to that putting the helper code into a model (a fully helper model , or a mixed model) is good practice. However i agree that some html intensive
