I have two tables: class PgmUpdate < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :pgm_visits, :foreign_key => ''pgm_update_fk'' ... and class PgmVisit < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :pgm_update, :foreign_key => ''pgm_update_fk'', :dependent => true ... According to the has_many docs (http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/

I am trying to optimize some methods in my model so they don''t repeat CPU intensive algorithms every time I call the method in the same request/response cycle. Eg. ================ def invitations all_pgm_updates.find_all do |update| update.invited? end end ================ I want to do something like: ================ def invitations if @invitations.nil?

I got Capistrano working with one of my Rails projects, but I intend to use identical models in a second project. I originally was using a symlink to point to the other models, but I want to be able to use the same ''rake deploy'' command for the two apps individually so I don''t have to deploy both together all the time. Any ideas? -John -- John Smilanick

I have a class that has_many :visits, I want to search through the visits to get only ones that are committed: I thought it would be as easy as: ================== visits.find_all do |visit| visit.coming? end ================= but this always returns the entire list of visits. The only way to get it to work is to put the visits into a new array first: =================

Given the two tables Parent, Child where Parent has_many children: If I don''t save parent first then it seems that child.parent will not be assigned automatically if I call parent.children << child . Must the parent record be saved before I call parent.children << child ? If I must save Parent first then can someone explain to me how I can call parent.valid? before it

class PgmUpdate < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :pgm_visits ... class PgmVisit < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :pgm_update ... I am trying to make sure that none of the visits in PgmUpdate overlap start and end dates. Should this validation exist in PgmUpdate or the controller? It seems natural to put them in PgmUpdate, but I must force the relationship together because

I am using the Openbase adapter and have had a similar glitch here and there, but after I go into production I consistently get an error on one page. ActionView::TemplateError (NoMemoryError: failed to allocate memory: SELECT * FROM ... I cannot track down the exact location of the error, but the production log says it was around:

I have a model where I need to calculate one of the fields when I create a new instance. It seems to me that I should do this in the model code and that I should override the new and/or create methods. Is this the right approach and, if so, how can I execute the existing method but add on my calculation? I want something like: def create -Do the original create first- field =

Ok, what I want to achieve is: http://<mydomain>/admin/products calls app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb According to Agile Development with Rails this should work. I executed the follwing commands: rails myproj cd myproj script/generate controller Admin script/generate scaffold Admin::Product this creates app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb all the views &

I upgraded to Rails 1.1 (ruby 1.8.2 and ruby 1.8.4 on RHEL 4 using webrick or fastcgi) and all of a sudden I get this hitting a controller: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) RAILS_ROOT: script/../config/..

On my host I run my lighttpd instance bound to a specific port and my hostname is mapped to this port (I''m not exactly sure how this is accomplished, but it is lighttpd also listening on port 80 which handles this for me I believe). A redirect from rails includes my local port number in the request, so that it shows up in the address bar. I prefer people not to see this - I

Hey, I have users entering URLs into my app, is there anyway in which I can check to see if the URLs actually point to something before saving the user input? Maybe a kind of ''ping''-action that returns true on success? (btw: does anyone of a tentative release date for Rails1.1? I''ve been slobbering all over my RailsRecipes book and I can''t wait! Also, Scott

Hi!

Hi, I''m trying to save multiple records of the same model in one go. Which is no problem at all. Problem starts when I want to introduce error handling. The problem is that no record should be saved when one of the records contains an error. I tried it as follows: session[:infos].each do |info| @quest.name = info["name"] unless @quest.valid? @errors_found = true

I have a need to subclass models a lot and I thought modules would be the way to go, but I am encountering nothing but trouble with them. I seem to be getting stuck with storing an object in the session, but on the next request it can no longer read the session data and creates a new session. Any other time I use the model it works just fine. I read "Agile Web Development With

Has anyone been able to get tests to work when using multiple databases? Fixtures don''t exactly comply with the object oriented model; it assumes they all use the same default database. I came up with a hack for Rails 1.0, but it was a big task and I don''t want to have to redo it for each release of Rails. Will FlexibleFixtures support transactions for multiple databases?

I''ve asked this in various ways but I can''t seem to get much traction - my guess is because not many people are doing this. I am working in a controller/views called placements. Placements belongs_to :client I have a clients model/table - clients has_many :placements in placements/find...this works fine... <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :placement, :clwholename, {} %>

Hi, I cannot seem to find out how to pass in a value to a partial. Can anyone help me? What I am doing(in the code below) is calling a function in my controller called setobject. This function just redraws the partial. I want to be able to change the value @objectname, redraw my partial and have it be able to use that value. The first the page is drawn it works, but when i call setobject it

I''ve created a look-up table in my database that currently has 4 rows. I want to access these as constants in the application because that''s effectively what they are.
