I''m trying to get data in rows instead of columns by default. The default scaffold behavior is to create an initial table layout with column headers along the top. In some cases this creates really wide tables which require horizontal scrolling. Is there a parameter I can use with scaffolding or a hack to get the header cells along the left side of the table instead? I''m

Hello everyone, First off, I''m trying to generate a discussion here, not provoke an argument or get people upset. Please bear this in mind if/as you read on... To my mind, there''s 3 missing features from scaffolds that would make them a whole lot more useful. These are: - auto-generation of a drop-down list for inputting/updating has_many/belongs_to relationships between

I want to have a field in model, which I''m not storing in a database. And I want to do something like the following in the model code : validates_format_of :field_NOT_in_db, :with => session[:field] How can I do it ? Thanks, Pratik -- rm -rf / 2>/dev/null - http://null.in

I''ve got 8 scaffolds, each one can be considered an ''item'', such as a blog, photo, etc. Using login_engine and user_engine, I list all blogs belonging to a user by saying: @user=session[:user] @blogs=@user.blogs.find(:all) but then let''s say I want to create an option where I want to slice it differently: @user=session[:user] if @someOption ==1

I am using the drop shadow technique described at http://www.1976design.com/blog/archive/2003/11/14/shadows/ to give several of my divs drop shadows. That part works fine. What doesn''t work so well is when I try to BlindDown a div in Firefox and it ends up ignoring the content below it and just overlapping it. In IE this problem does not occur. In Firefox the overlapping does

I''d like to create scaffolds for each of the tables in my database, but would like to access them below the path: localhost:3000/admin For example localhost:3000/admin/table1 localhost:3000/admin/table2 Where table1 and table2 would be the controller names respectively, calling their own list.rhtml, show.rhtml, edit.rhtml, etc.. Any recommendations on how/where to

I went through a tutorial at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 to get started with RoR. I really like the idea of the scaffold construct, but I can''t seem to get it to work the way it was described in the tutorial. I''ve got a mysql database that is properly configured, and a table called ''quotes'' with a column called

is there anyway that scaffold would read the database and I don''t have to specify any of the columns? it is really frustraiting specially when you''ve got a lotta cols and tables! I''d like to use rails for an enterprise app but not a toy app like all those apps in tutorials -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

I''m doing very well with the Hibbs Rolling on Rails tutorial. I have an easy question for my personal notes. I''m coming up with a simple framework of steps for creating a basic database. It includes the following maxims to make original app creation easy: app_name = MySQL database name SQL_tablename = model_name model_name = controller-name Is this going to work for getting

Does anyone know how to link Rails'' routes into anonymous controller classes created at runtime (defined with their superclass as ActionController::Base)? I''m trying to create a plugin for all of my projects that dynamically creates an active_scaffold controller for each model. It would essentially be like a scaffold_all_models for active_scaffold. I believe the original

I am implementing some AJAX features into a web forum, and one feature works fine in Firefox and in IE, but it is choking in Safari. Safari will send the request fine and the data will be stored in the DB, but it is not responding correctly to the RJS that is being sent back. Anybody notice issues with Safari parsing the javascript sent back to the browser? -- Timothy Johnson

Is it my environment? Is something wrong, cause I thought this should just work? I have a simple table and I created a model and a controller: ruby script/generate controller Restaurant ruby script/generate model Restaurant I edited the controller to this: class RestaurantController < ApplicationController scaffold :Restaurant end I run it and: http://0.0.0.0:3000/Restaurant works fine,

I am attempting to generate scaffolds on legacy tables that have underscores in the name. Scaffold does not see the underscore. I have tried a backslash escape but it no work. I have looked around but i cannot find a way to make it work. It''s like this: c:\railroad>ruby script/generate scaffold FOO_BAR exists app/controllers/ exists app/helpers/ create

Hi all I''m quite unsure what''s the point to have a create and update action in the Rails scaffolds... I guess the developers had good reason to implement them, but I don''t really see the reason for them... Why no just checking for get/post within the same new/edit method? def new unless request.post? # do the normal "new" stuff else # do the

Hi all I have a Model like this: class Member < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :username, :email, :first_name, :last_name end I have created a scaffold using script/generate scaffold member members Using the URL localhost:3000/members/edit/1 I can edit all attributes, including created_at, lock_version etc.! But it should only show the attributes I listed in attr_accessible! What

Do you design first the develop? Develop first then design? Do both simultaneously? Just curious, because I''m working on a site right now doing a little of both at the same time. -- Matt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi guys, I''ve been able to successfully install the postgres adapter for a remote database machine to get rails up. My machine is running on Fedora 2. Rails version 1.1.2. Is my yml config correct?

Since I upgraded from Rails 0.13.1 to 0.14.1 "generate scaffold <Model> <Controller>" doesn''t take any notice of the controller parameter. Anyone else suffering from this? E.g.: C:\Ruby\work\test>ruby script\generate scaffold User Admin exists app/controllers/ exists app/helpers/ create app/views/users exists test/functional/

In iteration D.1 on page 109 I am not getting a styled error message box displayed at the top of the checkout as described in the tutorial and I cannot seem to discover where I have erred.

Are my eyes going buggy, or did something recently change in Edge Rails so that now scaffolds are generated with pluralized controller/ helper/etc names? I peeked at the code in railties/lib/rails_generator/generators/components/scaffold/ scaffold_generator.rb around line 50, and it looks like there was a change there recently so that it now defaults to pluralized names. So why was this
