People, I am in a hurry to fill a programmer/developer position for an insurance company in Sydney, Australia. Since we have started the process of looking at Rails as a future development environment I thought I might be able to find an appropriate person from this list faster than going through the usual advertising/agencies route. If we can find someone appropriate I would like them to start

People, If I have a table "books" and a table "comments" and if there is either ZERO or ONE comment per book then: - "Comment" belongs_to "Book" but what is the relationship of "Book" to "Comment"?

People, I am using: before_filter :login_required in my Controllers and this works fine. For some tables I am happy to use the output of eg: ruby script/generate scaffold Author but is there some way that I can disable Create, Edit, Destroy for some user logins in the corresponding view?

People, I can order categories when looking at the categories list page but how do I change the recipe page to list the categories in alpha order in the recipe pull-down box?: > <p><b>Category:</b><br> > <select name="recipe[category_id]"> > <% @categories.each do |category| %> > <option value="<%= category.id

People, I want to design a historical sports db for my old school. I think at the moment it should be like: A year has many teams A team has many students A student has one lastname, firstname and middlename but a student can also have many teams (eg summer/winter abd over a number of years) . . Is there a problem with this? Doesn''t it just mean that there will be a student table

People, I have tables years and teams and I have the years listing like: 1965 1966 1967 . . I want to be able to click on the year and ONLY list teams for that year. At first I thought the following was working until I started populating the table with teams for more than one year. For views/years/list.rhtml: <% for year in @years %> <tr> <td> <%= link_to

People, In the cookbook eg, categories has_many recipes but in a book eg, book has_one description - doesn''t that mean that the id of the description should be the same as the id of the book (instead of having it''s own "description_id" in the book table?

People, I have an insurance company client and for the last eleven years I have wanted to completely redevelop their system from scratch. However, the boss has never been interested in hiring a team to develop the new system (partly because of the cost and partly because of some famous and expensive development failures in the industry) and has always insisted on incremental development of the

People, This is probably simple but I couldn''t find where to change the default 10 records per page for scaffolding . .

People, I have been going OK making my library app in: /home/phil/src/ror/library and using WeBrick to work on it. Now that I have got it into a satisfactory state I want to move it to: /var/www/html/library and use Apache but there seem to be problems . . I have this at the end of httpd.conf: Alias /library/ "/var/www/html/library/public/" Alias /library

People, I have gone through the cookbook example: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 and everything worked fine an a FC4/Postgres setup. I then tried to reproduce this success with something that would be useful to me - a library db using books & authors tables. The author list works but NOT the book list (unless I take line #17 out). I get this message:

People, I have done a few little RoR apps and have struggled to move them from the WeBrick development environment to a production environment - I have actually succeeded but what I have done seems clumsy so I must be missing some things, eg: In public/.htaccess RewriteBase /library In app/views/layout/*.rhtml change: <li><a href="/library">Home page</a>

People, For my little book library db I find the rails script generated stuff fine for most of my needs but there is one thing I couldn''t figure out . . Part of the auto output of app/view/books/edit.rhtml is: <%= start_form_tag :action => ''update'', :id => @book %> <%= render :partial => ''form'' %> <%= submit_tag

People, I can use a DIV tag for exact positioning of fields on a form: Creating a DIV tag creates a layer. The DIV tag contains a style attribute with positioning information. It might also have border and size information, if appropriate. Here is the basic DIV tag required for exact positioning: <div style=" top: 99; left: 99; position: absolute;

People, My backup script has lines: dt=`date ''+%Y%m%d''` . . DELETE="--delete" . . rsync -av $DELETE --backup --backup-dir /delmod/$dt /etc /backup/ rsync -av $DELETE --backup --backup-dir /delmod/$dt /root /backup/ - only the changes to /root get backed up but ALL of /etc gets backed up everytime! - why should this happen?

Hi people, I have made some progress trying to work out how to solve this problem but I have got a bit stuck - sorry if this turns out to be a simple exercise . .
