I''ve written my app already. It outputs valid xhtml and I need a stylesheet to drop over the top. How hard is it for people to understand that? It''s a small project, they''d have to do the main design/layout, and then a little custom styling for some specific elements which don''t appear on every page. That''s the point of CSS right? write once, use

I''m not a professional developer in the sense that I''ve had any formal training or experience. I taught myself programming two years ago and have since moved to ruby and shortly after to rails - even now, i only develop as a hobby. This means that a lot of developer best practises are foreign or unknown to me, that''s why I love rails so much. You learn so much just

hi all my app has two languages, I''m using gettext to manage them and so far so good. My question is about maintenance. If I fix a typo in a _() enclosed string, for example in an rhtml file, then the translated version of that string will no longer be valid will it? even if the translation itself had no errors. Is that the case and if so will i be forced to have the _() string

I''m following the wiki instructions for using gettext: http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/105 I run ''rake updatepo'' and it creates a myapp.pot file in rails_root/po. I then create a sub-directory (rails_root/po/en_GB) and copy a translated myapp.pot into it. When I run ''rake makemo'' it doesn''t create a ''locale''

before I started building my latest rails app, I made the decision to make good use of ajax. My reasonsing was that users would benefit from the quicker page updates - the application provides various different types of insurance quotes, and has several multi-page forms and reports that can be drilled down 5 or 6 levels deep in some cases - so it seemed like a good candidate for ajax Now

If I am validating an object before it is saved and do a find(:all) of that object class, will the object which is being validated be returned by the find method? something like: class Resource < ActiveRecord::Base def validate resources = Resource.find(:all) ..do stuff end Will the object I am validating be in the ''resources'' array?

I have lots of tests which rely on fixtures being a particular state in order to pass. For example, one test checks that a User object can have no more than 3 associated ''Page'' objects at a time. That''s a simple example but I have more complicated tests too. The problem is I sometimes add a fixture without realising it''ll affect the tests and everything

Hi, how can I get the current URL withing a controller? There seems to be no appropriate method in ActionController::Base. I''m creating a site, which requires a login for some pages. I''m using before_filter for authentication. My idea was to store the currect URL in a session before redirecting to the login page and then redirect to this URL after successful authenfication.

Hi all I''m running rails on apache with fcgi under windows I have a module which I''ve included in one of my models, but if I change any code in the module, i have to restart apache in order for the changes to take effect. i tried some suggestions from folks in the IRc channel, namely to put RAILS_ENV = ''development'' in environment.rb but that doesn''t

I asked about this a few days ago and got no replies, so I''m asking again. I have a file called string_extensions.rb. In it, I extend the String class to include some extra functionality. I put this file into the lib/ directory of my app. But the changes made to String don''t take effect. The program acts as though the files aren''t being included. I''ve stopped

I''d like to test against a very large dataset - is there anyway to prevent the data in the test database being destroyed on each test run? storing the dataset in fixtures causes the tests to take several minutes to complete, even using csv fixtures, and that''s just for one test case! I''d appreciate any suggestions on how to preserve the data in the test database

Hi. When you have library foo.rb in your Rails project /lib directory, I notice that on some platforms - e.g. Windows with WEBrick as a server - you can require it by simply: require ''lib/foo'' However on other platforms - e.g. Debian with Lighttpd server via FastCGI - this does not work, and you need to specify RAILS_ROOT explicitly, like this: require

this is a weird one. i have 8 functional tests classes. when I run them individually, they all pass. When i use rake or ''rake test:functionals'' one of them fails. I''ve traced the error back to a problemwith reading data from the session. when running the tests individually, the data is there. when run using rake, it''s nil. has anyone come across anything
