Hi, I''m trying to follow the "AWDR" example of storing certain types of numbers (in my case, percentages not money) as integers in the database. I understand from the Depot application how to format the output to have 2 places (or n places for that matter) decimal. Now, I"m wondering about the input. It''s more natural for people to enter numbers as

In an *.rhtml, why do I need to add <% for product in @products %> in order that I may call an <img class="list-image" src="<%= product.img_url %>"/>. Is there not another way to skip the "for product" line? I really dont want to include it. I tried @products = product but it does not work. Can anyone help shed light on this matter? -- Posted via

Hi, I spent more than 4 days getting done with the "Four Days with Rails" tutorial, mostly because I ran into a few issues that seemed to stop me in my tracks.  But, after looking around, I was able to find the problems and solve them (in whatever way I thought best) :-) I''m posting the whole list of problems that I ran into with "Four Days with Rails" to the list so

I am building an application that requires a C++ program to access the Rails web application using POST. Now, I just added user authentication to the mix and it has made things more interesting. I''m using basic authentication as shown in the AWDWR and Rails Recipes books. I can now get my C++ program to submit the user credentials to the login/login page. All I want the login page

Hi, Quick question (which means that I think there should be an easy answer)... When I am in the "show" view, I''d like to add 2 links, one for previous and one for next record so that the user can go on to the next "result" without having to go back to the ''list'' of results. However, I can''t find my way about this problem :-S

How''s the experience with using ActiveRBAC? For my "next 4 days with rails" :P I''d like to consider adding Role-based access to the To-Do List application in the original "four days w/ rails" tutorial. Just wondering if ActiveRBAC would be a good place to start? Thanks! For those who are wondering: https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/trac Cheers Mohit.

Hey, I installed InstantRails 1.7 (on Windows XP Home). I unzipped it with 7-Zip in D:\InstantRails (no spaces in pathname + short pathname) to avoid UnZip-problems. I followed the installation instructions. The cookbook-example works fine. But when I want to create an own project with "rails projectname", my computer says something like "The command "rails" is either

Hi Guys, I am trying to paginate the results from a search. When I use actual constants in the search conditions, it works fine: def query @k2_result_pages, @k2_results = paginate (:k2_results, :conditions => [''e_date >= ? AND e_date <= ?'', ''2006-07-12'', ''2006-08-12''],

Hi! I''m looking for a good tutorial that explains the main points of performing queries with Rails. I do have AWDWR and have read the section on ''find'' but I''m looking for something that goes into more detail on how to perform queries across tables. Abstracted from my current application, this is an example: * person has_many sites * site has_one room *

I''ve been experimenting with Rails over the past couple of days and have come across something that seems harder than it should be. In previous frameworks I have used (WebObjects, php) a full search page (which leads into a list view populated with search results) was part of the CRUD that was either dynamically or statically created after specifying table/object schema. In

Just wondering if anyone knows of a site where one could review a number of website layouts (which use CSS concepts) where you could then select the one you want and then just download the template HTML and CSS to import directly in your application. i.e. Gives you a decent overall look and feel straight away and then you can concentrate on your actually dynamic application aspects.

I have been learning Rails and building small things over the last several months. Question I have that has been surprising difficult to figure out is this (I know it seems somewhat nonsensical but ignore that).

I have a text field that I use for logging in users. Due to the design of my site, I don''t have room to put the word "username" in front of the text field so I''d like to actually display it inside the field and then have the word clear when the user clicks on it. How could I modify something like this <%= text_field "user", "login", :size

I''ve been reading the tutorial and I have problems with the TinyInt(1) for the attribute "item.done". I thought this thread would be the best to post it. I''m using Rails 1.1.14. When in the partial template _list_stripes appears: <%= list_stripes["done"] == 1 ? show_image("done_ico.gif") : "&nbsp;" %> it always returns the
