I am trying to implement the uploading of a file to a remote server I get error while trying to write the file on the server. The error I get is the following: undefined method `rewind'' for #<String:0x2aaaad062eb8> It seems to be treating my file as a string instead of a File object. --------- Code is below ------------------ VIEW: <%=

I''ve spent all day digging through the rails api and postgres-pr on this, I think it''s time to ask the list. Postgres stores a Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. My users want the dates in MM/DD/YYYY format. Sure, I could explicitly convert it on the app level every place where a date is displayed, but that seemed like a DRY violation. I thought I''d be clever and simply

I am working on an application where users sign up for one of several plans. Each plan has a different monthly fee. There is no long term contract but I would like to bill the users automatically each month unless service is canceled. What credit card gateways would you recommend for use with a rails application? My criteria in order of importance are 1. API that will let me work in

hi, overhere users go nuts if they have to enter the date in iso format, so i have to make my applications in such a way that not only dates are displayed in the "dd-mm-yyy" format but also can be entered in that way. somewhere i found this code to put in the environment script: ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.update( :default => ''%d/%m/%Y

I have a test/fixtures/users.yml like so: apa: id: 1 username: apa [...] created_at: <%=Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")%> updated_at: <%=Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")%> I don''t like how I''m repeating myself with the strftime bit. Is there some shorter Time method to format time for a (MySQL) datetime field that

Hi, I''ve followed these directions : http://railswiki.pdxruby.org/HowToDefineYourOwnDateFormat.html It seems pretty straightforward but obviously it doesn''t work for me... article.date_edited.to_formatted_s(:my_format_1) produce a default formatted date, not the one I''ve defined in environment.rb : ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(

Hello, I was wondering whether there is a nice Rubyesque way of selecting from a pair of HABTM models where one of them is inherited from another object. Here is the situation: I have a ''posts'' table from which ''replies'' and ''articles'' are inherited. Articles have_and_belong_to_many categories, but neither posts nor replies do (it just does

I''m using the date_select form helper for a date_of_birth field on an ActiveRecord object. When I try to save a date earlier than 1 Jan 1970, ActionController punts with ActiveRecord::MultiparameterAssignmentErrors. The message it gives is "1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes". I was able to catch the exception and look at it, and it is certainly complaining

Hi all, does anyone know of a rails command i can use so that at the end of an action, the page will close at termination?

I have 2 radio buttons like this: <%= radio_button ''group'', ''public'', true %> <%= radio_button ''group'', ''public'', false %> They hold the correct values when viewing the @group object. However, when updating, it does not appear that the params[:group][:public] value is being typecast correctly. As

All, I''ve come across a confusing problem when attempting to run unit tests for an application on OSX (works on Windows). I''m receiving the following error: `load_specification'': undefined method `parse'' for Time:Class (NoMethodError) This is also confusing because I can''t figure out how the error appeared. When I revert back to previous revisions,

I have a web application that is getting larger all the time. There are now 3 separate models where I am storing the current find parameters in session hash and it''s beginning to seem to me that this might not be a good idea. Before I add another model to the mess - is there a better way? Do I have to create some table to store the current ''find'' criteria? It seems as

I am using http://code.google.com/p/calendardateselect/ for my date time picker.

I''ve run across a weird problem with RJS that I''m trying to figure out: I have an application that was running 0.13.1 that I recently upgraded to Rails 1.0. I wanted to use RJS templates, so I installed the plugin and updated my prototype javascript file via ''rake update_prototype.'' I attempted to test the templates out via the following code, but the AJAX

All, I need to apply EditInPlace to a block of text that has line breaks. I''d like to have the editable text load instantly by grabbing the text from the page instead of using the "loadTextURL" option. However, this will pull in the html formatting ( <br> and <p>). Wanted to see what ideas the list had as far as making this possible - the best idea I''ve

I recently updated to version 1.5_pre4 to use the excellent in-place editor, however, I''m now seeing a bug with AutoCompletion. When text is entered in the text field for auto completion, the auto_complete div is not updated (but the server does receive the request and return a response). Upon removing focus from the text field, 2 instances of the following error can be seen in both

Hello everyone, In my model, I have def leave_at_formatted leave_at.strftime("%I:%M %p") end I was wondering if there were any way to define to_s for leave_at in order to get the same result? Thanks!

Greetings: I am writing a basic accounting module for an app. Rather unfortunately the name "transactions" is a reserved term in Rails (being the only accounting term trully representational of a financial transaction). I am left to come up with other names. One such name was f_transaction. This worked on the DB level, but I noticed that the Model name dropped the underscore, thus
