similar to: To Do list project?

In my webapp a todolist has many todo items. I am trying to display lists that are completed. By incomplete I mean that all the items in that list are done (booolean = true). I hope to have a list of active lists and complete lists on one page. I''m no ruby expert by any means so I think I have to ''pipe'' some results into another query?? Can you help please? -- Posted

I have gone to the api and have searched the internet and looked through the books that I have, but I am having trouble finding an explanation on what the .build method actually does and how it is used. I guess the best example is if I want to create a todo list application where I can create a new todo list and add to do items all at the same time. I would post to the todolist controller to

Plus I like to have ''last_name, first_name'' show up in the dropdown. what I can''t figure out is how to concat first_name and last_name to make a name and use that to look it. working

I''d like to monitor a folder and when someone drops a file in there I can take the files name and add it to a database. My dream is to have a folder always being watched. and if someone drops a file or folders with files into that watched folder, I take the filename(s) and insert them into a db and if the files are in folder I use the folder name(s) as tags for that file. make sense?

now that tha auto complete works (thanks Craig) I''m at a stumbling point again. here''s the situation. I have a text box that gets populated from the auto complete that has "ivanoff, john" and I want to add him to a list of approved users. how do I get the id to add to the employees_users table? do I need to look up the employee in the employee table or can I get the

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help with some RadRails guidance... ( on WIndows XP ) I''ve been using UltraEdit and it''s Project management is good, but I feel RadRails should be better with the inbuild Ruby and RoR features... I''ve tried working through the tutorials on the web site for example the CookBook tutorial & it tells me to go the Generators Pane, which

I realise that this is kind of a basic question but I''m new to rspec and still trying to work out how to do things. I''m working on a rails project that requires basecamp integration via the api, which is fairly trivial to use via the basecamp.rb wrapper: Connection: basecamp = Basecamp.new(APP_CONFIG[''api_host''], APP_CONFIG[''api_username''],

I am trying to create the perfect development environment for rails and i dont know exactly which way to go. Do i create a windows environment or a *nix environment. If i go *nix, what distro is best suited for rails. I would be using mysql, so that would come in to play. If i go *nix, i would use apache. Any ideas for the right environment would be greatly appreciated. I guess the major choice is

I have a custom authentication plugin that redirects users to a login site if they aren''t already authenticated and their session hasn''t timed out. I had things working fine with straight http requests, but wanted to add support for ajax requests. I thought this would be a simple matter of replacing all of my "redirect_to <blah> and return false" calls with

Hi I am running Mac OX tiger with the installed ruby 1.8.2, and mysql5 (I checked that it was running in preference). I tried to run the various fixes recommended in agileweb.

Is there a Rails-friendly way to redirect_to an url and post some parameters with that? I''ve tried: redirect_to("http://whatever.com", { ''postme'' => ''this'' }) redirect_to("http://whatever.com", :post => { ''postme'' => ''this'' }) redirect_to("http://whatever.com", :options

I''ll pose a question partly for fun, partly out of interest to see what everyone else is doing to survive the pain of the day job. It''s for the professional J2EE developer converts out there. Let''s say someone hired you to write a Basecamp clone, but it has to be done in Java, say on the Tomcat or JBoss platform. What does your stack look like now that you''ve

Ok I know this is off topic, but since you guys are usualy so helpful, I thought I''d try here first. Building a Rails App and one of the things we''ve done is put a CSS class of; * { font-family:"Lucida Grande",verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; margin:0pt; padding:0pt; } Now the problem is that the padding setting, for one reason or another is killing my select

Seeing as how the new Basecamp API reflects a similar use of RoR that I have been working on I''m curious as to what we can expect to be extracted from there in 0.13? Was the API written as an ActionWebService or just as a set of controllers? Any generic AR xml parsing/output methods that we may see in 0.13? Any reason you decided to do everything with HTTP Get instead of utilizing
