Hi, I''m having great fun developing with Rails but I''ve come to a problem that I can''t quite figure out. I have an Order object that "has_many" order_lines. This works perfectly and I can see all the lines. The OrderLine object has an order_id field as well as product_id and amount. Now ideally I would want to do : order.orderline[0].product.name for

Hi, After following advice from you good folks, I gave mongrel a try in a cluster design based on the example on the Mongrel website - and it worked right out of the box which is great - and it''s very fast :) I have got a bit stuck though. I have two MS Word files in /public/files/. I can pull back these files no problem but it isn''t sending a mimetype. I think I have two

Hi, I thought I''d give lighttpd and FastCGI a go but the latest version I''ve found for fastcgi is 2.4.0 which was released in January 2003. Is this the right version? Can anyone recommend the versions I should use for FastCGI et al and where to find them? I''m not sure I''ve really found what I''m looking for... -- Posted via

Hi, I''m looking to rewrite an existing app in Ruby but it makes extensive use of URL paths. For example a site would redirect to : /Portal/foo/ and from this I could tell that ''foo'' was the site that did the redirect. Of course when I try this with Ruby I get "method not found" which is hardly surprising. I''ve had a quick look round google but

Hi, I''ve been doing more searching, and I''m kinda stuck on how to send back error messages to a SOAP / XML-RPC client if say for example the username and password they supplied were incorrect. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers, Pete -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''ve got an interesting one here :) I have a form with three fields : serial_number initial surname now, if serial_number is entered, it must be between 1 and 64000. If it''s filled in, the other two fields must be blank. If serial_number is left blank then the other two boxes must be filled. Any suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, One of my apps has to export data for the backend system to process it. What''s the best way to create a CSV file in Rails and then return it as a file to the client? i.e when they go to the link /csv/get_data it would return a csv file. I''ve been messing with the CSV library and I can get it to write out to a file, but not sure how to best use this in a web app. Hope

Hi, After following the excellent tutorials in the Agile Web Development with Rails book, I was able to get my webservice working pretty much perfectly :) I can access it via SOAP and XML-RPC and look at service.wsdl to find the API. What I can''t do however is get the API for the XML-RPC call. It fails with : Internal protocol error: NilClass is not a valid input stream. It must

Hey all! Just finished my first Rails app on 1.0 day and even got paid for it! Great stuff and much thanks to the many generous souls in IRC, especially ezmobious, who helped me through. For my second Rails app, I want to use tagging. I am wondering if there is a Tagging Generator or some other existing implementation I can borrow from? Best, Mike Pence Boca Raton, FL

Hey all, I am wondering if anyone has given thought to using REST / XPath as querying mechanism. That way you could have a URL that actually maps to a collection of records (objects, really) that meet a certain criteria and that are sorted a certain way. Mike Pence

I am writing some specs that use ActiveMerchant to talk to a cc provider. When I try to "include ActiveMerchant::Billing" in my spec, it tells me it can''t find the plugin: ./activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant ActiveMerchant (NameError) Do I need to explicity require the main plugin file? Thanks, Mike Pence

Hey all, I''m a little frustrated here. The controls for the Google Map show up, but the map itself seems to either never appear or to briefly flicker onto screen, then to disappear. My controller is simply this: @map = GMap.new("map_div") @map.control_init(:large_map => true, :map_type => true) @map.center_zoom_init([0, 0], 6) and my view is this:

And let's also spell things properly! Like 'internationalisation' ...'Weasels have got into your phone system' instead of 'gotten into your phone system...'

FYI Brian Fertig Treasury disconnects tax on long-distance calls WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The brief Spanish-American War ended more than a century ago, but not the federal tax assessed to fund the victory. Until now. On Thursday, the U.S. Treasury said it would stop collecting the 3% federal excise tax on long-distance calls, a fee originally assessed in 1898. The government also said it
