Is it possible to have more than one kind of view for a specific action, for example an .rhtml and a .rjs file to handle the view for the same action? I suspect not, but this makes me wonder if there a way to call the .rjs file from within the .rhtml so the statements within it get executed? Thanks, Andy

In the "Agile Web Development with Rails" book it runs through making an example application, a shopping cart. In one of the views files, there is one line of code I dont understand (below), I dont know what the "h" is for, also I took the h out, and it did not affect the application (as far as i could see). <%= h(product.title) %> Can anyone shed some light on this

Is there a built-in way to determine if a model object has just been created (ie. this object was the one that was originally persisted)? I can''t see it anywhere in the AR code, but thought I''d check. I want something like: p = Person.create p.original_instance? # true Is this built-in or should I just patch AR? -Jonathan.

I made a folder - "flash" in my public directory and have had the one instance of it point there. Thus my flash directory is www.rails-app.com/flash/flash.swf Is there anything that anyone knows to help out?

I''m trying to use the ordinalize() method to ordinalize a day. Here''s how far I''ve gotten: @reportday = Time.now.at_beginning_of_week.strftime("%d").to_i @ordinalized_reportday = "#{@reportday}".ordinalize I was thinking it wasn''t working because the date is being returned as a string, however I added the .to_i and still it returns an

Hi, We are thinking about choosing Rails as our weapon of choice for our next project, which is basically a text editor on steroids, whith some functionality that need an Internet connection. In the first step we are going to develop it as a plain web app (AJAX-ified, yay!), however, in the next step we would like to port some of the functionality (such as the editor) to a desktop app (which can

I have just spotted quite a serious problem with my rails app. My app uses the session to store information. Most people who use the app may have more than one instance of it open in their browser (multiple tabs). The session stores which country the user has selected. On each browser tab the user may select a different country. You can add items to a country. There are problems with

Hi, The default way we handle an array of checkboxes is like this: <% items.each do |item| %> <%= check_box_tag ''item[]'', "#{item.id}" %> <% end -%> this returns an array item[] that holds the ids of all the items. Now the real issue: 1. The above loop will same ids to ''n'' items 2. All ids will be ''item[]''

Hello, I have the following: image_tag(''show.png'', :alt => ''show article'', :title => ''show article'', :border => 0) Is it possible that I don´t need to have "=> ''show article''" twice in this row? e.g. something similar to this pseudo code: (:alt, :title) => ''show article''.

Hi all, i would like to add the .html extension by default to all my resources. What is the best way to do that? The reason for this is that i need to download the generated sites via wget and i need the .html extension for the downloaded files. Also it would be nice if the link_to would automatically generate the links with .html... Thanks, Gerold

Hello, I want to a select tag, where you can choose a number between 1 and 100. My inital code is based on the examples from Agile Web Development with Rails, and looks like this: view: <%= options = [["Select number of lines", ""]] + RfqLines::LINE_QTY select("rfq_line", "line_qty", options) %> model: LINE_QTY = select_fill def

Hey there all, Is there some way to tell rails or sql server to ignore the time in a datetime field when doing a comparison? For example, if I do something like select * from users where registration_date = ?, @date where @date might equal some user input like ''03/14/2006'' The result is nothing returned, because in my tables the datetime field looks like this: 3/14/2006

I''m using the date_select and datetime_select helpers in my view, and they return Date classes from the params hash. But how do I work with Date classes, they don''t print human readable dates or times, Time classes work well I can use strftime("%H:%M") to print to the screen. Is it possible to convert a Date to a Time, Ive been tinkering in irb but have got

I have noticed that the image_tag helper method now appends a request parameter to the generated src attribute. With Rails 1.0/actionpack-1.11.2 I had <img src="/images/rss.gif" /> Now (1.1/1.12.1) I get <img alt="Rss" border="0" src="/images/rss.gif?1142366545" /> Is there any use for that number? Where does it come from? This is very far

Hi everyone, A couple of weeks ago I noticed a bug with :dependent => :nullify on a has_many or has_one. When you delete the parent, the children''s foreign keys are nullified, as expected. But when you do parent.child.delete or parent.children.clear, ActiveRecord actually deletes the child records, rather than just nullifying them. In my eyes, if you''ve set
