I have a real-world application with some complex queries that I want to convert to Arel (as part of an upgrade to Rails 3.1). So that I can understand what I''m doing before I flail around in my real app, I wrote a little sample app (just the models) with some similar associations -- one table joined with itself and more tables that join to another table, so there are some queries that

I''m building an app that needs i18n support across the entire database (i.e. localized attributes). In order to do this I''ve created a special HABTM join table that can be associated with _any_ other table: create table language_strings ( for_table varchar(255) not null, foreign_id int not null, language_id varchar(5) not null, attr_name varchar(255) not null, value text

Multilingual Rails v0.5 is just released with lots of new features. Here is the changelog: v0.5: New charset conversion string-methods.

Im not very familiar with RoR so this question might be kind of silly. I want to store strings from different lenguages in a database. I want to have the key for the string in english be the ''key'' for all the corresponding traslations of that string. For example: (database columns) lenguage-------------key-----------------value----- english hello

I''m attempting to use the example given in the Rails Recipes book chapter 2, to create a select drop-down using the InPlaceEditor function (modified to be InPlaceSelectEditor. The example given works (a country list drop-down), but I''m attempting to use it to display a list of items generated from an object in another table that is linked to the table that I''m editing.

Hello everyone- We recently added full archives search to Lingr (http://www.lingr.com), and we used Ferret/AAF to do it. I''ve written a blog post with some details of that integration, and I thought some of you might be interested. See http://blog.lingr.com/2007/05/we_heart_ferret.html. I''m grateful to the authors of Ferret and AAF, as well as to all the people in this forum

Hi- Can someone help me conceptualize how I could setup an * box which features both English and Spanish prompts? I know it's possible to configure the box to use one or the other, but how could I setup a multi-lingual box? Any suggestions?

Hi, I''m putting the finishing touches on a multi-lingual application, and just posted a blog entry on how I did translate validation errors generated by ActiveRecord at: http://www.myowndb.com/blog/?p=4 I found it surprisingly easy, and thought I''d document it. The translation is based on a plugin I plan to publish really really soon, more info whith the upcoming announcement.

DB field names: If I have a table that references 2 or more separate users from my users table, is there a recommended naming convention for this situation? In my case, I have 3 users associated with a record in my projects table: requester_user_id created_by updated_by I could name one of them "user_id", and then projects.user would work I guess, but wouldn''t work

Ok, that's done. Now after this the should compile and run : in En.rc MAIN_MENU is defined now like this : MAIN_MENU MENU { POPUP "&File" { MENUITEM "&New...", 0x100 En.rc is included by #include "En.rc" in rsrc.rc. And gcc complies about it when compiling : [syl@snoop notepad]$ make gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -g -O2 -Wall

Hey all, I was playing w/ Thomas Fuch''s Localization module (thanks Thomas!), and just realized how hard is to localize an application in Rails :-) The Localization module works nice, but the problem is the error messages. Its not that good to keep the application in [your idiom] and the error messages in english. I saw the other threads about it, specially the ones that recommends

I''m trying to implement internationalization in my app. I followed the instructions on the Globalize example (http://wiki.globalize- rails.org/globalize/show/Example+Application), using in_place_editor. The translation works fine, however, I can''t get in_place_editor to work to translate the strings. My controller: class Admin::TranslateController < ApplicationController

The application lets the administrator users define the data structure through a web interface like in a normal database, with: - tables - enhanced datatypes like emaili, web URL, and a choice in list - relations (one to many, one to one) between tables Once the

Hi all, I have a model that "belongs_to" many other models, many of those models are just list of names, like country, state, city, profession ... I read about the country_select helper.

Hi, We would like to announce the first release of the Speex project. Speex (http://speex.sourceforge.net) is an open-source (LGPL), patent-free compression format allowing an alternative to expensive proprietary codecs. Unlike Ogg Vorbis which compresses general audio, Speex is designed especially for speech. For that reason, Speex is meant to be a complement to Vorbis. Since it is specialized

A customer of mine wants an IVR where the first 3 choices are 1 English 2 Spanish 3 French I can build the IVR but how do I get the system prompts to then speak the selected langauge. For example, a caller has selected Spanish and so is routed to the Spanish part of the IVR. At some point he breaks out of the IVR to leave a VM. How does the system know to continue offering him Spanish?

Hello list, I think I have a rails related RSpec problem with a mock going out of scope on a recursive call to a model. The code is at: http://pastie.textmate.org/79821 if you want to see it highlighted. I have pasted it below as well. Basically, I have an acts_as_nested_set model called "Node", which works fine. I have a function which finds the language name of the node instance.
