Hey all, i''m rather new to rails and was curious if ActiveRecord implemented anything like is_active where the delete functions would just mark records as inactive, vs deleting rows. (similar to created_at, etc). I need a history of transactions, and this is how I would code in other languages. Any advice? Is there are smarter way to implement this? Thanks in advance! -- Posted via

I could use some eyes on https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/4368 if anyone has the time. Summary of the change: Similar to PredicateBuilder''s existing support for ''table.column'' => ''value'', this patch enables ''column#method'' => ''value''. For instance,

Hi, This is just kindof a RoR question, but since you all potentially do the same things as I do, I thought I''ll ask here.. Im trying to use the boolean type in the database. Migrations is no problem, it even converts the 0/1 values from my import CSV to false and true. However, I cannot make the :conditions part of a find work: Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2) >> c

We have tables Users and Communities linked by has_an_belongs_to_many. The join table Communities_Users has additional fields [ is_active, is_blocked, join_date] etc. These are populated using @user.push_with_attributes(:is_active => true,...). Later on how do we update or retrieve the attributes in the link table for a given user or a community with doing it explicitly using SQL? Thanks,

Hello, How do I prevent previously submitted form data from being reinserted into the database when the user presses the browser''s Refresh button? On Aughey''s advice in #irc I tried using `redirect_to'' a new `:action'' but this approach doesn''t seems to work. Any idea what might be wrong or how to tackle this problem? Thanks for your help.

Hello everyone, I would like to eager load scoped records to avoid queries executed in a loop (huge performance impact). The "scoped" part is what is giving me a hard time. I''m using Rails3 RC.

I have an application where user sets his/her preferred date/time format. User is expected to enter datetime in his preferred format across the application. Now the problem is for few formats the datetime is parsed wrongly while create/update ActiveRecord. For example user has set date/time format in hh:mm dd/MM/yyyy. Now if user enters 17:00 04/05/2012 it parses it as 5 PM 5 Apr, 2012 where it

I have a question about the usage of Merb::Controller#url. When I have nested resources, requesting the new action works differently than I expected. I was wondering what the intended usage is. For example: Say I have r.resources :articles do |article| article.resources :article_attachments end irb(main):002:0> show_routes [:articles, "/articles"] [:article_attachments,

The environment.rb file in a Rails 2.3.2 app says: > Set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record auto-convert to this zone. Auto-convert to this zone... when? Also, what are the differences between these two statements? config.time_zone = xxx config.active_record.default_timezone = xxx I ask these questions because I have a scenario whereby an AR-backed object, when

Hi, I have a client that has a 24 channel voice T1 that I have been using e&m signalling over for a number of years. The local telco finally got an ISDN switch and wants to move them to PRI.
