I''m playing with an online store.... I have an orders table which holds orders (pricing, statuses, etc). An orderDetails table which holds detailed line items (itemNumbers, unit prices, etc). Each order can have multiple shipping addresses, so I also have an addressbook table. Each orderDetail is tied to an addressbook entry via the ordernumber and addressbook alias, but this

Hi all, here is the challenge: I have this validation method, that basically prevents an object which billed = true to be updated: def before_update if read_attribute(:billed) errors.add_to_base(''This service has already been billed for'') end !read_attribute(:billed) end The above code does not work in case I do something like: object =

Hey guys, I''m having a hard time w/ the after_update callback on rails... As far as I can tell, when I define a after_update callback on a model, the attributes of the object have the same values that they had *before* Base.save was called. I''m probably wrong so here''s the code: UNIT TEST: def test_register_item_adjusts_account_balance account =

With after triggers in Postgres, there are special NEW and OLD vars accessible to trigger functions. Any such thing in Rails? Or would it entail doing something like setting a class var in before_update? Jack -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a User class with a field called admin which is a boolean that determines if the user is or is not an administrator. I want to make it impossible for the last administrator for an account to be removed from the system. I need to protect against this both when deleting a user and when editing a user as you can revoke a user''s administrator privileges via a form. User

Hello everyone! I am currently running Samba 2.0.7 on a RedHat Linux 6.1 box. My user home directories on this box are NFS mounted from another server.

Hi all - To avoid floating point issues, I''ve decided to store monetary values in cents in the database. However, the user will enter these in dollars and cents. Two questions: 1) How do I do the validation for the currency format? It looks like ActiveRecord truncates the cents since it thinks the field type is a Fixnum. Am I forced to do validation in the controller? 2) Where

Can someone please explain how to match a + character in a dial plan (so that I can swap it for the "00" country escape code). In Europe at least the + is a common shortcut for the international prefix (which is "00" in my country). However, my trunk chokes on the + character and all my speed-dials are setup with a + at the start of them... Trying to fix the phone rather

Hi, I''m doing a <model_name>.update(....) but I''m noticing that my before_update callback is not being called. If I do a find and then a save!, I notice that it is called. The problem with a find and save in my case is that I''m not able to set all my attributes in one shot by saving params["user"] and since I can''t do this, my overloaded

Is there any easy way to make a fancy looking form to take phone numbers. Something that looks like this: [ ] - [ ] - [ ] ext: [ ] Then when you submit it it''s combined into one string in the database. Optimally it would auto-switch from field-to-field after you fill each field. Has anyone seen anything like this in Rails? Thanks, Adam -- Posted via
