I haven''t updated rails today and all of a sudden scaffold is pluralizing my names ruby script/generate scaffold Admin::Category produces class Admin::CategoriesController < ApplicationController Do I really want "CategoriesController" instead of "CategoryController"? Thanks, Peter

I''m calling render_component in a helper. render_component :controller => target_controller, :action => "show", :id => target_id This works fine, except that passing the id in :params didn''t work and I had to pass in an explicit :id parameter to get the target controller to override the id - is that documented anywhere? That''s not my question. My

I want to put a ''search_box'' text_field in the header of each page. This common header template is implemented in ''views/layouts/application.rhtml''. The search_box is implemented in a controller named ''users''. (so ApplicationController is calling an :action in UserController) When I add this line to my

I want to put a ''search_box'' text_field in the header of each page. The search_box is implemented in a controller named ''users''. (so Controller_A is calling a component in Controller_B) When I add this line to my ''controllers/application.rb'' file, I don''t understand why I get and ''undefined method'' error. After all,

Apparently a scaffold creates at least one instance variable for views to use, and if I override the scaffold then I must also explicitly create that instance variable for the view. I''d like to know exactly what work is performed by the scaffold so that I can know this when over-riding the view. (OR, is it that the controller makes these variables available by default?..) EXAMPLE:

Hi, I would like my model instance to produce it''s own list of options for a form select. This is from a product model that has_many variations def alts_for_select(current_id) the_map = variations.map{|v| [v.name, v.id]} options_for_select(the_map, current_id) end the model cannot see the options_for_select method I tried to use

Hi, A store front a customer wants to GET /product/5/show. But for the application this is really GET /cart_item/new/5 or even better /cart_item/new?cart_item[product_id]=5 When the customer clicks add_to_cart they POST /product/5/show so that the url doesn''t confuse the user when any validation errors occur. But for the applicaiton this should be POST

I have a question about the usage of Merb::Controller#url. When I have nested resources, requesting the new action works differently than I expected. I was wondering what the intended usage is. For example: Say I have r.resources :articles do |article| article.resources :article_attachments end irb(main):002:0> show_routes [:articles, "/articles"] [:article_attachments,

Hi list! Take this markdown input: * asdf * asdf * asdf asdf What I want: <ul> <li>asdf <ul> <li>asdf</li> <li>asdf</li> </ul> <p>asdf</p></li> </ul> But markdown puts the first asdf into a paragraph. There is nothing I can do

Hi, I am generating a nice document with some inline code blocks and came around the following error: 1. asdf - \` asdf `` `asdf` `` produces: <ol> <li>asdf <ul><li>` asdf <code><code>asdf</code></code> </li></ul></li> </ol> instead of: <ol> <li>asdf <ul><li>` asdf

This does not produce the expected output, yet does work on the dingus [1]: * asdf * asdf >> require ''maruku'' => true >> doc = Maruku.new("* asdf\n * asdf\n") => md_el(:document,[ md_el(:ul,[md_el(:li_span,["asdf * asdf"],{:want_my_paragraph=>false},[])],{},[]) ],{},[]) >> doc.to_html => "<ul>\n<li>asdf *

$ ASDF=hello; a=0; a=$(( 70 - $(echo $ASDF | awk '{print length}') )); echo "$a $ASDF"$(for i in {1..$a}; do printf "."; done) 65 hello. $ Why doesn't it print: 65 hello................................................................. What am i missing?

Hi, I am making a resource type to manage Glassfish domains. I''m not quite sure how to specify provider commands with a sane default and in configurable way. The location of the binary may be in other locations depending on where Glassfish was installed. http://github.com/larstobi/puppet-glassfish/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/glassfish/asadmin.rb Does anyone have any advice on

$ echo ${PWD##*/} somefolder $ if "${PWD##*/}" -eq "asdf" > /dev/null; then echo "this is the asdf folder"; else exit 1; fi bash: notthatfolder: command not found... this is the asdf folder $ So i just want to check that i'm in an exact folder. e.g.: "asdf" What's wrong with my one-liner? I just want to check, that a script is in a folder,

Hi, I have a current auth database using mysql with a "password" column in plain text. The config has "default_pass_scheme = PLAIN" specified In preparation for a more adaptable system I changed a password entry from "asdf" to "{PLAIN}asdf", but now auth fails. Works fine if I change it back to just "asdf". (I don't believe it's a

Hi all, As of now, I have a 15x8 matrix (name is "asdf"). The first seven columns contain numbers while the last column contains a string. The class of each column is "character". When I use the plot function to display a scatter plot between any of the two columns, ie. plot(asdf[, 1], asdf[, 2]) everything works fine. However, if I want to use the command "pairs" to

This is a dumb question, but I'm having trouble finding the answer to this. I'd like to do the following: x<-"asdf" and then have the object x.y become automatically converted/represented as asdf.y (sort of akin to macro variables in SAS where you would do: %let x=asdf and do &x..y) What is the syntax for having x represented as "asdf" in x.y ? Thanks,

Hi, What is the simplest way to validate a positive integer? validates_numericality_of :foo, :integer_only => true how do I add the positive part? Do I need another validation statement for pattern matching or do I have to write a validate() funciton for my model? Thanks, Peter
