Hiall, Unfortunately I just can''t find out how to setup a default selected value when using collection_select. My call is like so: <%= collection_select(:consultant, :lastname, @consultants, :id, :lastname, { :selected => @current_consultant.id } ) %> which is not working, I debugged so far that I know that @current_consultant.id contains the correct value. Any tips? cheers

Hiall, I just tried out InstantRails version 1.3a. After a virgin install and filling the fresh mysql db with my app schema, I tried runningthe app with webrick, only to see the infamous "Lost connection to mysql server" for every action. What is it that I''m doing wrong? I also have mysql 5 installed on my machine, but the service is stopped while experimenting with

Hiall, If I have say 10 tables that i would like to wrap up in 1 view to manipulate data inside these tables, do I then need 10 model.rb files for all 10 tables plus 1 for the view, or do I just need 1 model.rb file for the view ? cheers Martin

Hiall, Call me stupid if you like .,) but it seems i can''t figure out how to get a named link using a combination of link_to and image_tag. What I need is basically a link displaying a name along with some image to indicate status (open,working,finished). I found no combination of link_to and image_tag that accepts a name, this seems to be solely used for making whole images into links

Hiall, I want to give the action of a form an additional parameters but can''t figure out how to do it. My code looks like this <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create'', next_step => true %> <%= render :partial => ''user_form'' %> <%= render :partial => ''community_form'' %> <%= submit_tag

Hiall, Is it possible to organize my model files below app/models into subfolders? E.g. I would like to put admin related models into their own subfolder. This kind of structuring works for controllers and views (scaffolding creates the right subfolder-model mappings), but app/models always stays flat. I''d really like to be able to group my code into logical, well packages :-) Yes, I

Hiall, I''m wondering what''s common practice when dealing with money values stored in databases. I like the idea of storing all the values as integers, i.e. all the values in eurocents not euros. Then I need to multiply all values the users enter by 100 before storing them in the database. Now the question is, what''s the most efficient and dryest way to do this?

Hiall, When I try to run script/console from a windows command line like f:\rails_app\ruby script\console I get the following error: F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- initializer (LoadError) from F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require''

Hi there, With the new scrutinization by auditors on account policies and auditing, how can Samba be SOX compliant? Using 3.0.14a-sernet on Suse 9.1 - ldapsam Specifically, a couple of things seem to be lacking: 1) Logon/Logoff times are not being recorded The last logon time recorded in my ldap entries are pre-nt4 migration. 2) Do the Audit Policy values in user manager have any effect?

Hello I''ve now read a lot about application-level authentication in Rails, but I need to do database-level authentication. The reason is that my database needs to have the current_user (database current_user, not current_user defined in an ActiveRecord Model) set to execute triggers for automatically updating audit tables. So it is not enough to have a session check against a User

Hiall, I would be very interested in your opinions on the ModelSecurity plugin by Bruce Perens. http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/ModelSecurity/Tutorial.html Some time ago, I read on a few pages that it is the way to go, on this list however, I didn''t read much about it. Apart from it''s security level, quoted from comments in source code: # FIX: At the moment we only support

Each record includes specific labels/field names (a sample of 1 record (one of the longest ones) is below - at end of post. What I want to do is reformat the data, so that each individual record becomes a row (some cells will have a lot of text). For example, the column

Hi all, Could you point me to a script editor in Linux that will allow me to a somewhat easy pasting of section(s) of an R script or function into R for execution? Something like WinEdt+RWinEdt macro in R for Windows? (My time is a bit pressed. I haven't succeeded in my attempts to install ESS for XEmacs. No doubt due to my confusion and lack of competence. I am abandoning it for the

Granted, I''m still very much a newbie, but after reading an article on AJAX that basically states at one point that just because you can use AJAX doesn''t always mean you should, I have to ask: Why bother contacting the server (even if it is an insignificant amount of bandwidth) to validate the sanity of form data (unless you''re actually validating against something in
