similar to: Money library usage?

Hi all, I''m using acts_as_authenticated for the front end facing part of my site. I have a model called Customer. I now want to protect the admin sides of things. I am thinking of using Ezra''s acl plugin (http://opensvn.csie.org/ezra/rails/plugins/dev/acl_system2/README) for this. My only problem is that I don''t want the model for admin users to be called Customer,

Can anybody share some examples of their Money implementation ? I''m trying to setup a Model to use this library, but can''t seem to wrap my head around how it is exactly supposed to work. My Model (Foo) looks like: =============== composed_of :commission, :class_name => "Money", :mapping => [ %w(commission_cents cents), %w(commission_currency currency) ] Yet, in

At the risk of being banned for posting the same question twice, I thought I''d try once more with a question for the title rather than a statement (on the basis that perhaps questions get answered and statements ignored ;-) ) ActiveRecord supports composed_of for value objects which is fantastic but one thing that it doesn''t seem to support (or at least I am unable to

ActiveRecord supports composed_of for value objects which is fantastic but one thing that it doesn''t seem to support (or at least I am unable to find any documentation for) validation of the value objects. For example, given the following: class Message < ActiveRecord::Base composed_of :sender, :class_name => ''EmailAddress'' composed_of :recipient,

Hi, How do I validate a composed_of attribute in my model? I have a product model with: composed_of :price, :class_name => ''Money'', :mapping => %w(cents cents) This maps the price attribute to the Money (http://dist.leetsoft.com/api/money/) class. I want to make sure that the price only contains a price to 2 decimal places i.e. 1.25. This is because if someone enters

Guys, I have a relationship between model classes that I believe is best represented by inheritance, but the likelihood that things will change often is driving us to composition instead. So, I have a class called Autos, and subclasses called Suvs, Minis, Mids, Sports, for example. We have been requested to avoid the STI approach to this, because of fear of a quickly growing table with

I have a class called Duration that represents a unit of time. It has lots of time-related methods and an attribute that represents the duration in seconds. I want to store it in my db. I had a column type of NUMERIC, so if i save it, rails trys to coerce it to a float automagically and fails. I need to display it and store it as a number but treat it in the middle layer as a Duration so I can

I''m trying to use composed_of within my model. I have a field in my database named ''card1'', which is simply a string. I have this in my model class Player < ActiveRecord::Base composed_of :card1, :class_name => ''Card'' end class Card attr_reader :value, :suit def initialize(s) @value = s[0].chr @suit = s[1].chr end end The

I am trying to use composed_of in my model, but I not succeeding. With the code I pasted below, I cannot perform this action in the console: property = Property.new(1, "px") I get NameError: uninitialized constant Property when I try to perform that action. It''s not finding my class I made I suppose. The Property class is in the same file as the Element class, element.rb.

I''m new to this list, I''m a student in History, Computerscience and a bit of Philosophy from the Netherlands... I have started using rails a few weeks ago, I did read the Agile Webdevelopment with Rails book, and I generally started to love Rails for it''s sheer beauty and intelligent structure... However I came across something that puzzles me quite a bit. It''s

Hello, I have a class Person class Persoon < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "Persoon" set_primary_key "p_persoon" has_many :adres, :class_name => "Adres" composed_of :name, :class_name => Name, :mapping => [ [:naam,:naam], [:voornaam,:voornaam], [:voornaam2,:voornaam2], [:persnickname,:persnickname], [:perssortname,:perssortname] ] def

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

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(50) not null, time_zone varchar(50) not null, ... primary key (id) ) and a class like class Account < AR ...

Hi all ! Is this supposed to work ? class Email < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :to, :class_name => 'Recipient', :conditions => "recipients.source = 'to'" do def create!(*args) with_scope(:create => {:source => 'to'}) do super end end def build(*args) with_scope(:create => {:source => 'to'}) do

Long time programmer, but I just started learning RoR last week. I am going through some examples in the book "Ruby on Rails: Up and Running". The example I am on had me add a table to the database that looks like so: CREATE TABLE people ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `type` varchar(20) default NULL, `name` varchar(20) default NULL, `email` varchar(30) default NULL,

I have the following two tables: create table teams ( id int not null auto_increment, short_name varchar(12) not null, long_name varchar(50) not null, logo varchar(20) not null, primary key (id) ); create table rounds ( id int not null auto_increment, home_team_id int not null, away_team_id int

Hi all, I am mocking the following Rails view (inside a partial): <%= render :partial => "forums/forum", :collection => forum_category.forums.readable_by(current_user? ? current_user : nil) %> My spec fails with the following message: 1) ActionView::TemplateError in ''forum_categories/index (anonymous user) should only render forums accessible to anonymous

Hi all ! InPlaceEditor refreshes only the element that was updated. Is there any way to make it update tons of other stuff ?

Hello, I am fairly new to RoR and I have a question I hope can be solved elegantly (so many things are, so why not this one too?). I have a working solution, but I want to be sure I am doing things the "rails way" (having come from PHP). You could say I am looking for a little validation (no flames please). I have a table of units like so: CREATE TABLE `units` ( `id`
