I''m having trouble uploading 2+ files simultaneously (from different client machines)... the upload page just hangs... I''m running... - ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-linux] - rails 1.1.4 - red hat el 4 - apache - fcgi (0.8.7, 0.8.6.1) - firefox 1.5.0.5 - httpd.conf <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi FastCGIConfig

I''m curious what would be the best way to represent people and whether the person has someone marked as their friend. Here are my thoughts so far: People table - id - name Relationships table - person_id - friend_id Now my problem is I don''t know how to set up these associations (if this is even correct). Friend_id would be an id to someone else from the people table.

Hi! I got a class named EinsatzFilter which I serialized to session. Before saving to session it works afterwards I keep getting the message: "undefined method `to_s'' for #<Person:0x38c6ab8>". "Person" is a from ActiveRecord::Base inherited class. Code: class EinsatzFilter include ApplicationHelper attr_reader :personen, :monat, :projekte, :kunde

Look at the smile on my face... ear to ear, baby!

Rails has many built in validation methods to ensure that an ActiveRecord instance cannot be created or updated under certain situations (typically caused by invalid data). However, I can find no methods to govern whether an ActiveRecord instance can be destroyed. Essentially, I wish an error to be raised when a user tries to delete an ActiveRecord without first adhering to a certain set of

i have a model with this: file_column :image validates_file_format_of :image, :in => ["gif", "png", "jpg"] If inthe form the user not insert the image i receive an error.

What''s the best way to validate_on_destroy. Rails only seems to include validate_on_create and validate_on_update methods. I don''t want to resort to doing: before_destroy do |j| raise "There is an error" if j.etc end Is there a way of finding out what action (create/update/destroy) is being performed if I use the ''validate'' method? -- Posted via

Hi All, I''m trying to prevent users from deleting a folder that has contents like this: class Folder < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :myfiles has_many :folders belongs_to :folder validates_uniqueness_of :name, :scope => "folder_id" before_destroy :dont_destroy_folder_with_contents def dont_destroy_folder_with_contents if Folder.find(id) != nil ||

How would I stop the last user being deleted. The following code doesn''t work. before_destroy :dont_destroy_last_user # Don''t delete user if it the last one def dont_destroy_last_User raise "Can''t destroy last user" if User.length < 1 end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve been working with the problem that Joe Hosteny has been talking about on this list and on the tickets he''s posted (http://dev.rubyonrails.com/ticket/1196) and have come up with a tentative solution that I''d like to bring up here. What if we use a "conditional" parameter in the validates_* methods? Here''s how it would look like in practice:
