I want to have one layout for my whole application. The app has multiple controllers. Is it true that layouts are associated w/ one controller? thanks, etienne -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I found a tutorial for creating classes using generic functions ? S3 way ! It was short description so I couldn't grok in full its usage ... So far so good, what i currently do is something like this : Blah <- function(data,...) UseMethod('Blah') Blah.default <- function( ...... ) { self = .... class(self) <- 'Blah' self } Blah.some_method <-

I wanted to group some functions which I use in some models in one place. Controllers have application.rb and views have helpers but I couldn''t find anything about models. Using the /lib directory seemed to be the only way. Alright... so I have something like this: /lib/code.rb class ActiveRecord::Base def method_a(n) ....... end def method_b(n) ........ end end

I have a simple question when to the synchronize method in the Mutex class. Now that backgroundrb has allow_concurrency = true there is no need to synchronize database calls in threads. The question I have is lets say I have a simple method in my worker as follows: def some_method SomeModel.find_all each do |obj| obj.some_count += 1 obj.save! end end It accesses the database, but

I have a method in a controller that invokes a render :partial => ''some_partial_view'' In that view, I''m trying to access a method defined in a model, like this; <% for view in @an_array %> <% local_var = view.some_method() %> <% another_var = view.a_column_name %> etc.. I am getting an undefined method error but the model is accessible

I have an app that requires me to define a class variable (actually an array) in a controller and then access it from within a view. It seems that the class variables aren''t working right. Here is an example of what I''m trying to do. class DisplayController < ApplicationController @@thumbnail_array = Array.new ... def some_method @@thumbnail_array = SomeModel.find_all

Hello, My main application layout, app/views/layout/application.rhtml looks like this: something render partial_1 something else render partial_2 something else render partial_3 The partials are not really doing anything, i use them to keep the layout modular (i.e . to have ~30 lines instead of 200). Now, the question is where to put _partial_1.rhtml, _partial_2.rhtml, _partial_3.rhtml. If i am

I was looking at Kyle Mawell''s extremely nifty-looking StateModels plugin http://www.kylemaxwell.com/articles/2006/02/06/fun-with-single-table-inheritance and before I go down the road with it, I was wondering if anyone has used it with file_column. The way file_column deals with an uploaded file -- by storing it to the filesystem in a path that employs the model name and id --

Hi, How can I validate user info under certain conditions? For example, I just downloaded a plug-in that allows me to validate phone numbers, but what I would like is to only validate the phone number if it is not blank and if the user_type_id field is equal to one. How can I achieve such a validation in my user model? Thanks, - Dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You

Let''s say I wanted to find 3 products from my database and put them in the layouts/application.rhtml view. Where do I find these 3 products? Do I just do it in application.rhtml? <% for product in Product.find(:all, :limit => 3) %> Because I was under the impression that you really don''t want to do this in your views. You should do this in your controllers and

Hi , It comes to me that helper has some weaknesses: 1) It is hard to test . No easy way to write test code for it. (or Just i didn''t know?) 2) Not easy to reuse it on other controller/view/model. it looks like to that putting the helper code into a model (a fully helper model , or a mixed model) is good practice. However i agree that some html intensive

I''ve setup two models, 1 and 2, that are associated by has_and_belongs_to_many. I''m trying to get an attribute from model_1 to use in a method in model_2. When I use the code below, I get an error saying ''undefined method model_1_id''. What am I missing? Thanks! Model_2.rb Class Model_2 < ActiveRecord::Base ... has_and_belongs_to_many :model_1 def

Hi, I have a controller where I access a singleton class that I use to connect to a DRbprocess DrbConnector.instance.some_method I notice that on every request, the constructor is called so it is making a new instance of this singleton. Is this normal? Thanks, Curtis

Hi, I wonder if there''s an easy way to access the associated Model class from its Controller. Something that would allow me to write snippets like the following: class PeopleController < ApplicationController def some_method person_model_class = self.some_method_to_retrieve_the_person_model_class() end end Cheers, Marco -- Posted via
