How do you run an ad-hoc query that does not belong in any model? I thought it was something like ActiveRecord::connection.find("my query..."), but I can''t seem to find the documentation on it. I know I''ve seen it somewhere before, though. thanks, Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, A few months ago someone posted a message about specifying validates_* constraints on a per-attribute basis. I just created a small plugin that allows you to do this. Here''s an example from one of my models: class Country < ActiveRecord::Base attribute :name, :string do |a| a.validates_length :within =>

I''m just wondering where I would put the pagination for search results when using "acts_as_ferret". At the moment my search code is.. def search @query = params[:query] || '''' unless @query.blank? @results = Tutorial.find_by_contents @query end end Cheers SchmakO -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

For huge C++ projects this could improve link time if GC is a bottleneck. It will also improve eh_frame_hdr build time because you don’t spend time on parsing garbage. However a linker will have to have two versions of GC:

I have an ActiveRecord subclass that needs to generate a random (hard to guess) token for each record in its corresponding table. Currently I''m doing something like this: def before_create self[''token''] = random_value while self.class.find_by_token(self[''token'']) self[''token''] = random_value

Hi Igor, > It sounds like the linker has to be aware of the .eh_frame section details to be able to generate .eh_frame_hdr and eliminate duplicate CIEs, right? Yes, a linker needs some details but not all of them. It needs to know sizes of records and initial locations (PC Begin) to find out which functions FDEs belong to. > So, is there any difference whether it knows that in one place

Hi! Aaf trunk has undergone several major refactorings the last days, with the result that you can now transparently switch your app from local to remote indexing and back :-) If you plan to scale your app to more than one physical machine, or if you have problems with corrupted indexes and the like under high load, you really should give this a try. I wrote some documentation to get you

Hi, am using this wonderful plugin acts_as_ferret and according to the tutorial at http://railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as- ? rial#basic I worked it out except the pagination feature. If I have 12 records and I give limit to 10, its correctly displaying 10 records in the first page and is giving the link to the second page too. But when I go to the next page I find the same 10 records instead of

Hi, I''m having some trouble overriding/defining the default_field_options constant without raising a warning. I''ve tried adding the code to do it in an initializer but that produces a warning (because the constant is already frozen), after some googling I found a recommendation to put it in the environment.rb file but that then that throws uninitialized constant ActionView

My model is very simple, it''s mostly just a join table that represents which tournaments a user has registered for. class Registration < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user belongs_to :tournament validates_presence_of :user_id, :tournament_id validates_uniqueness_of :user_id, :scope => :tournament_id end the validates_uniqueness checks to make sure there''s no

I have an application which I''m running using Mongrel and Apache as described here http://www.napcs.com/howto/rails/deploy/. I have a model Person which I am attempting to use acts_as_ferret with.

How would I change this method in order to get highlighting working with DRb?

There must be a better way to write this code: @project_pages, @projects= paginate :project, :per_page => 10, :conditions => ["account_id = ?", account] ?! If only I could pass the sub-collection account = ... @projects = account.project to paginate, instead of letting it extract it with a find :all + sql conditions Alain. -- Posted via
