I am using the drop shadow technique described at http://www.1976design.com/blog/archive/2003/11/14/shadows/ to give several of my divs drop shadows. That part works fine. What doesn''t work so well is when I try to BlindDown a div in Firefox and it ends up ignoring the content below it and just overlapping it. In IE this problem does not occur. In Firefox the overlapping does

I am having trouble getting error_messages_for to work. My controller(relevant parts) looks like def configure @account = session[:account] @user = User.new end def add_new_user_to_account @user = User.new(params[:user]) if @user.valid? session[:account].users << @user end redirect_to :action=> ''configure'' end end and my

Does anyone know of a fix for the issue with prototype and replacing table rows in IE? render :update do |page| page.replace "row_#{params[:id]}", :partial => ''wireless_request/wrequest'', :locals => {:wrequest => @wrequest} end This ends up making IE throw an "rjs error [object error]" Searching around I found a couple of posts about

I have a User class with a field called admin which is a boolean that determines if the user is or is not an administrator. I want to make it impossible for the last administrator for an account to be removed from the system. I need to protect against this both when deleting a user and when editing a user as you can revoke a user''s administrator privileges via a form. User

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

Is there any scalable alternative to iterating all the records of a certain model? #find_all seems to load everything into memory. With 500.000 records it will be a swap storm. Pedro.

Hi, I have a Product and a corresponding Keyword (1:1 via belongs_to and has_one). I want to ensure, that two attributes (:name) of the two models alway stay in sync. What''s the easiest way to accomplish that? I did play around with before_/after_save hooks and with AR::Observers but in the end I''d always get infinite recursion... Thanks, Timo

I have a rails application that runs on multiple mongrels and I would like to make the log files non-interlacing. Are there any logging modifications/other loggers out there that I could use to create process safe logging? Thank you, Matt Margolis

I am sitting with the Agile book on my desk and scratching my head at the discussion on aggregation - perhaps that isn''t what I need. I have a db called clients. fields include - first_name middle_initial last_name I want to combine them all into one name element in a list view. I can add/edit the fields separately but in the list view, I only want the one combo field. Is there a

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password. I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the parameter list. Can anyone offer up a suggestion. The book shows the method starting like: if request.post? user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,

Hi! I faced some issue while using it for dynamic attrs indexing/search. Maybe I made something wrong. Here is test method. Everything works just fine until last line http://pastie.caboo.se/66274 . Tested on both stable and trunk of aaf and ferret 0.11.4. the short version of code below: Contact.acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :first_name ] assert

I have the text_field_with_auto_complete woking on my user DB using last_name. so looking for ''ivanoff'' works great, but I can''t find ''john''. Plus I like to have ''last_name, first_name'' show up in the dropdown. what I can''t figure out is how to concat first_name and last_name to make a name and use that to look it. working

I''m getting this error message since i moved alot of the database logic to the model. wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password +

wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? I''m not sure why I"m getting this error ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password + user.password_salt) != user.password_hash

I just ran across a weird glitch (IMHO) in find_or_create. The arguments passed to it are *not* added to the conditions for the ''first'' part. This is odd, given that it''s intended to replace find_or_create_by_* methods, which *did* use the specified values as conditions. I''m unsure on whether this behavior is entirely undesirable, but it''s definitely

I am trying to use Ferret for searching for users based on first and last name. In my index, I am adding the first_name, last_name, and a full_name which is basically "#{first_name} #{last_name}". I am searching the index using something like the following query: INDEX.search_each(%Q/first_name:#{query}* OR last_name:#{query}* OR full_name:#{query}*/) do |doc, score| The problem I am

I have a Person model with attributes first_name and last_name. I want to implement autocomplete search that looks that the entire name. Hence I have a method: def full_name self.first_name + " " + self.last_name end Is it possible for me to query on full_name and have rails match the first_name and last_name fields? I currently receive this error when I try, because full_name

I have a number of models that use an aggregation to combine First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name and they have been working fine. I am looking to clean this up, DRY it if possible. I have things like this in application.rb class Clwholename attr_reader :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name def initialize(first_name, middle_initial, last_name) @first_name = first_name

Trying to use Eric''s help and Amy Hoy''s page of playing with auto_complete and decided that the script/console is the place to rapidly test. I have this feeling that CONCAT isn''t working for postgresql... c = find_by_sql(SELECT * FROM clients WHERE CONCAT (first_name,middle_initial,last_name) = "johnadams") ^ (irb):61:

Hi all, Is there a way to have searches no use some indexed fields, when processing a query? context: I have a model Foo that holds some information in two languages : - text1_nl, text2_nl, text3_nl and - text1_en, text2_en, text3_en Some other fields are common to both languages and indexed as well - first_name, last_name Depending on the visitor language choice I need to exclude the
