I''ve uploaded the B1.12 version of AWDwR. The major changes include: - Justin Gehtland''s new chapter on Web 2.0 - James Duncan Davisdon''s chapter on deployment (this is an interesting one---JDD has strong opinions on how a Rails application should be deployed, and the chapter mirrors this. You''ll find it short and easy to follow). - I changed the

I copied (and modified) this code from AWDWR: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render :template=>''/error'', :layout=>''application'', :status=>''404 Not Found'' else render :template=>''/error'',

Hi, Rails produces to diff Gets on the Webrick: AWDWR Chpt 6 strange results: First browser call to /Admin shows correct form; - And WEBrick reports: "Get /admin HTTP/1.1" 200 485 - -> /admin Subsequent browser calls to /Admin show: NoMethodError in AdminController#index undefined method `each'' for #<Mysql:0x37aba80> - And WEBrick reports: "Get /admin

Hi I''m working on the AWDWR book and I''m on the admin section of the book. I have rails 2 installed on my machine and I have ran into an error when I created my controller login but when I go to http://localhost:3000/login/index I get this error: No route matches "/login/index" with {:method=>:get} I haven''t touched the routes.rb file and when I generated

Hi all, Rails 1.1.4 Rake 0.7.1 PostgreSQL 8.1.4 Windows XP Pro I checked for errata on pragmaticprogrammer.com, but didn''t see any explicit mention of this issue. I''m going over the depot example in AWDwR, 2nd ed, and I can''t get the migration to work on p. 82. Specifically, the AddTestData example (with reduced description text to save my fingers some typing):

Heya everyone! I am quite new to Rails and I am reading AWDwR. I am at Task E "Check Out!". I understand it quite well, but I have a problem with the last playground exercise: Add a Table which contains the payment types. All goes well, but I am not sure whether I should use has_many or has_one(as in the Playground wiki at http://wiki.pragprog.com/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/PT-E-3). I use the

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

Question, and I''ll preface it by asking if this is the right list to be posting questions regarding anything past Rails 1.1.6 , (i.e. edgerails) ? In the latest revision of AWDWR there is a sample REST based app. During the creation of the controller and actions, there is a foot note that says: "7. By the time you''re reading this, there may well be support build into Rails

Folks: I''ve uplaoded the B1.05 version of AWDwR. It fixes a number of reported errata (and a few that weren''t reported :), and adds two significant changes: 1. It now uses the new Active Record decimal -> BigDecimal conversion. I''ve personally been waiting for this for a long time, and I''m really happy it''s now part of core. However,

Hi, I''m trying to follow the "AWDR" example of storing certain types of numbers (in my case, percentages not money) as integers in the database. I understand from the Depot application how to format the output to have 2 places (or n places for that matter) decimal. Now, I"m wondering about the input. It''s more natural for people to enter numbers as

I''m getting to the point now where I really need to start trapping the errors. So from my AWDWR book, I added the following directly from the book into application.rb... def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render(:file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html",

I''m having a problem with one of the migration files from the depot application. ** Invoke db:migrate (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db:migrate == AddPrice: migrating ======================================================== -- add_column(:products, :price, :decimal, {:scale=>2, :default=>0, :precision=> 8}) rake aborted!

Following the tutorial app in Agile Rails, I''m trying to figure out the best way to get the flash notice to go away after an "Invalid product" is selected (eg. when a new, valid product is selected). This is after Task D, Chapter 9, in the 2nd Ed Beta. I''ve come close to getting to work right, but I think I may still be missing something in the control flow of

On page 118, file store_controller.rb, the "redirect_to_index" is added. At mid page 120, that line is removed. When the browser is first sent to the ":3000/store", the page displays properly. But when the Add to Cart button is clicked, the browser displays the text of a try-catch block (see below). There is no error message - the browser clearly sees text to be displayed. If I

Fig 6.4 on page 73 shows only "Price is not a number" for validation when wibble is entered for price but I get the following message: * Price is not a number * Price should be at least 0.01 Is this an error in the book?

When we announced the second edition of Agile Web Development with Rails back in May, we pretty much killed the sales of the first edition paper book. So now, with the second edition just a few months away, we need to clear out some space. So, if you''d like to pick up a first edition paper book, they''re going (while stocks last) for $12.50 (plus shipping) from

So, I''ve been listing to stuff folks have been saying about the Bookman font we use. Most people like the font, but some feel there aren''t enough words/line, so your eyes move too much. So, I spent the weekend playing with typography, and I''ve come up with a compromise. The thing is: it looks good to me, but I don''t want to mess up the read for others

I''m having a particularly difficult time undersanding one lesson from this book. This is in relation ot how one would grab "search" parameters from web forms to search for records in the database. I understand the :conditions part of find() but am confused on the code: 1- name = params[:name] pos = Order.find(:all, :conditions => ["name = ? and pay_type =

Hello all, Yet another "don''t reinvent the wheel" n00b question: Is there an ''official'' page hit counter plugin/code snippet/whatever? I would need something like this: - It is possibility to set a constant timespan (say 5 hours). - On every page hit, save away @request.remote_ip and Time.new - The counter gets incremented only if the same IP was here

I''m having difficulty understanding how to make validation of facade columns consistent with validation of other active record columns. To illustrate this, I''m going to extend the facade column example discussed on pp. 284-5 of AWDR. Let''s say that there is a "rectangles" table that has width and height columns. For some unknown reason, width is stored in
