I''m trying to add something simple to the model for a project management/todo list/thing. The DB has ''first_name'' and ''last_name'', and I''d like to have "full_name" available. So -

I''m trying to use has_many :through, since my join model deserves being more than just an intersection table. But when I try to break the association, the break only seems "temporary": Let''s say my two tables are Users and Colors, and the join model is Favorites. user = Users.find(1) user.colors.length >> 2 c = user.colors.first >> #<Color:....>

In my RoR app I would like to change a drop down list, which dispays a list of colors selected from the database. Instead I would like to create a radio button for each color. The user is allowed to check one color and this will be saved back into the database as the color for this user. I don''t know how to do this. Currently it looks like this: <%= select(:user, :color_id,

Greetings, I have a class that should allow you define some default values. It seems to make the most sense to do this environment.rb since its the default app configuration.

Hi, I have @result_pages and @results obtained from paginate in an action. I want to show the pages as 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 > The fifth page will show: < 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 > and so on. How exactly do I render the paginator to give this effect? I guess I will have to use pagination_links_each. But being new to Rails, I need help.
