The question is, should we deal with Controller and Action logic in the RJS file? If so, is it quite "spaghetti-like"? This is actually for the Agile Web book Shopping Cart example: If the user clicks "Remove Item" and we do it the AJAX way, what if we want to first show the cart''s content as 0 x Pragmatic Version Control $0.00 and then highlight

Hello there, I am basically a J2EE refugee fascinated with Rails. I have been using the Spring framework (a lightweight J2EE java framework with some special characteristics) but I am so impressed with RoR that I am porting over many applications. In order to "dive into Rails", of course the second thing to do was get myself an IDE, and since I''ve been using Eclipse for the

Hi There, We have a couple open positions for Rails developers in Marin County, just across from Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco.

I''m having problems to make the selected works, i''ve been trying with select and options_from_collection_for_select. I''ve tried, :selected, :selected_key, :selected_value, and all i can got from the doc page ( http://rubyonrails.org/api/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper.html#M000399 ) and from wiki. Code: select(''informacao'',

I''m going to take another stab at this question (my first one received no replies): I have two models: Author has_many: books Book has_one: author I have two tables: authors id ... books id author_id ... I let the scaffolding fly and it created the CRUD goodness for each model, as expected. However, I want to have only one view/controller "set" for both models; when I

Hey Guys, Here''s the scenario: I''ve got vendor-specific XML I need to create and then POST it somewhere. It sounds easy enough, but I''m running into issues when it comes time to actually use the XML. Trying hard to stay within the MVC pattern I: 1) Create a controller which loads the models I''m about to turn into XML 2) Create an rxml view which renders the

I have a need to subclass models a lot and I thought modules would be the way to go, but I am encountering nothing but trouble with them. I seem to be getting stuck with storing an object in the session, but on the next request it can no longer read the session data and creates a new session. Any other time I use the model it works just fine. I read "Agile Web Development With

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

Hello all, I have a product table and an option table that are connected to one another via a join table. These two tables both contain has_and_belong_to_many relationships with each other. I am trying to setup a page where I will create a product and add in its options. I have already populated the options table with data to draw from. so, to start, here is the method from my controller: def

This has been my little experiment for the last few weeks. I jumped straight into rails after a few tutorials and have been using "Agile Web Development with Rails" as a reference. I picked up the Ruby syntax from examples which was not hard to do as I know various other languages. I''ve started 3 database driven web apps and all was going really well. Rails is fun and

I am trying to teach my models how to render themselves, i.e. <%= my_model_object.render() %> Let me explain my reasoning and proposed method before this gets shot down as anti-MVC. Let''s say I am writing a contact-management application. I have a class Contact. I will need to display this class all over the application. My first choice is to use a partial. Now I can

I''m new to Rails and so was wondering if the following strategy is a good idea. Background: I''m writing a eCommerce application which has a Product model and an Option model, they are setup with a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship. The Product model features the ''base'' attributes of the product and then the shopkeeper *can* add one or more Options that

Our company is mainly made up off application developers but we have a lot of web work coming up so we are deciding which route to take at the moment. We initially identfied ASP.NET 2.0 with the ATLAS AJAX framework because of the RAD features, easy to learn etc. I had read some stuff on ROR and our Boss who is open minded allowed me to create a sample application with ROR. He was impressed

Ok, what I want to achieve is: http://<mydomain>/admin/products calls app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb According to Agile Development with Rails this should work. I executed the follwing commands: rails myproj cd myproj script/generate controller Admin script/generate scaffold Admin::Product this creates app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb all the views &

Hi List! I''m reading the Agile book, as many online articles as I can, but there''s still some things that are just too hard to answer for yourself. In building my application, I often find myself putting code into my views of which I am not quite certain it belongs there. Where do you usually draw the line? Is it okay to, say, loop through an array of hashes that represents

I was wondering if someone can give me some assistance in approaching this issue: First, the background: I have an app that i originally did in PHP that I''m redoing in Rails. It can be used by multiple clients that have no relation to each other. The client information is in a database and is determined by the hostname. Clients then have several users related by client_id. The

Hey all, Ok this is probably a newb question, but I haven''t been programming with MVC for very long, and I''ve been wondering what the general opinion is, or best practices, for making a new controller. Like what cases would you need a new controller for and what cases can you just put everything into one controller? Thanks in advance, Randal -- Posted via

Hello all, Is it possible to package controllers, models and views in a plugin? The tutorials for plugins seem rather sparse at the moment... I''ve written a form "widget" that I''ve been using as a partial that I would like to reuse in other projects. I was thinking about making a component out of it, but I need to be able to access some of the form data that it
