Hi Let''s say we have model Foo. Each Foo instance can have several bars. Those bars are primitive, so they shouldn''t be models. For example, Foo might be a type of convention, and the bars might be years the convention was held in. Naively, we would have a conventions_years date, and put: has_many :years inside class Convention. But then we''d get an error, since for

Ubuntu 5.10, Ruby 1.8.3. I installed rubygems, then tried rails, and get a tragic looking error at the end. Is this a problem?

Hi, I am trying to install Ruby on Rails on a Linux Ubuntu PC. I already installed manually ruby 1.8.4.

Has anyone been able to make direct API calls to PayPal in currencies other than USD? I get an error message "The currency code submitted is not supported. Check the currency code and try again."

Dear Dovecot Gurus, Setting up my first IMAP server and looking at the folder structure, I had a mailbox I built on a Dovecot server and a mailbox configured by a hosting provider next to each other in Thunderbird and I noticed that the special use folders (Drafts, Trash and Sent) in my default-ish (I did set them to auto = subscribe) Dovecot install make these folders appear parallel to my

I seem to be missing something trying to use ''validates_inclusion_of'' to validate a foreign key and was hoping some one could piont out my mistake? The problem seems to be that Order.find_all.collect is not returning an array that contains the order_id, if I replace it with a hardcoded array everything works as expected. The model: class OrderItem < ActiveRecord::Base

I have an old Rails release frozen in /vendor... but can''t for the life of me find out which revision it actually is. I just froze edge, and noticed a "REVISION ####" file in the apps root, which is a nice addition ;) Any insight into this would be great.

Hello, I am attempting to create several plots based on "site" (~300 total) and am having trouble with the code. I simply want to create a plot using the code, plot(year, peak), for the following dataset. I would like for each site to be plotted on a separate page and the plots saved in a directory. Would a "foreach" loop work? I tried a "by" statement, but

So I want to SELECT from multiple tables, so as to be able to do "SELECT FROM foo, bar WHERE foo.id=bar.id AND bar.baz=23". How do I do it with AR#find? Also, I need this for associations. has_many et. al. have :finder_sql, which is nice, but feels like a Pyrrhic: it''s basically doing the association in pure SQL, defeating the purpose of AR. -- -Alder

Hi Let''s say we set session[:foo] = ''bar''. Now we want to remove the :foo key completely. How do you do that? Appearantly, session is a CGI::Session [1] instance, so it doesn''t have #delete like Hash. I tried: session[:foo] = nil But then debug(session) shows an empty :foo key. I''d like to remove that key, as my session is already pretty crowded. Is

Hi there I''m considering Rails for a new web-application planned to be built from scratch. The application has an extensive web front, and in fact most of the application is interfaced through that front and engaged through clients'' HTTP requests (i.e. the conventional way web-applications and "dynamic web-sites" work). However, some essential parts are supposed to

Hi there I need to store additional attributes on join table. Searching the Wiki [1] revealed two possible methods: 1) push_with_attributes, as described by Justin Palmer [2]. Unfortunately, "this method is now deprecated" [3]. Even if it wasn''t, there seem to be inherent problems with that approach, for example with updating those additional attributes, though Joshua Muheim

Hello, I''ve heard these words to describe a RoR application returning an empty page. This happen from time to time even here, in the forum. That is the cause of this misbehaviour ? Is it related with something external to RoR itself ? What is the solution to avoid the WSOD ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

File.open in core Ruby is nifty, in that it automagically closes the file when you''re done using/manipulating it. I''m wondering whether there''s something like that for ActiveRecord? So you can do: AR.find(23).open {|ar| ar.foo = ''bar'' ... } And ar.save would be called when the block closes. -- -Alder
