Hi, I want to offer a CSV download of data in my Rails app (eg. An "Export to Excel" link to grab the current view of tabulated data). However, I can''t seem to break-out of the Rails framework to output this non-HTML data. Even if I eliminate my layout template from my view, the most basic view (no HTML) will still wrap the output in

I''m having a great deal of trouble getting rake to run migrations on our staging server. Everything works fine on my dev box, but trying to run the following on staging results in errors. ----- > rake db:migrate (in /var/www/apps/acadtech2/app) rake aborted!

Sorry, always end up not replying to the list: The main issue with dealing with next this way is that people adding new uses of next will probably not be using c++0x and therefore won't know it's ambiguous and that it needs to be qualified. There are also two issues with rvalue references and the STL: 1. EquivalenceClasses, in the insert and findLeader functions, it uses map functions

I was wondering if there is a Rails method that does something similar to the "About your application?s environment" link on the "Welcome Aboard" page you get when you first install Rails.

Some blog sites and others (ticketmaster, for example) require you to read a graphical representation of a word or number to prevent a form from being submitted programmatically. I''d like to do something similar on a new site I''m building. Two quick questions: 1. Is there a standard term for these graphical representations? i.e. how would I do a google search for this

After reading: <http://www.loudthinking.com/arc/000572.html> I''m trying to experiment with respond_to in order to not repeat myself and create atom feeds out of a "browse" view. In application controller I created a before filter that checks for the extension of the current url and changes the accept header: [code] def check_headers @headers["Accept"]

Hello there, I have something odd happening to my image tags when displaying an image. Here''s what my ''<img src>'' tags are looking like: <img alt="2-thumb" src="/images/public/uploaded_images/2-thumb.jpg?" /> Notice the question mark at the end of the string. I have no idea where this coming from. Here are the important parts of my

For example, if I do something like select * from users where registration_date = ?, @date where @date might equal some user input like ''03/14/2006'' The result is nothing returned, because in my tables the datetime field looks like this: 3/14/2006

I''ve got a publications table that contains an author_id foreign key and a pubrole_id foreign key. What I want to do is query the DB using AR so that I can get a list of all publications that belong_to a particular author, and group the results by the pubrole.role_name (Author, Joint Author, Editor, etc.) so that the results look something like: Author book1 info book2 info etc.

I love the routes feature for RoR...until now. I''m trying to write tests to make sure my urls are correctly mapping to the routes I expect them to map to. This is driving me nuts because I simply can''t get any of my tests to pass. I have thus concluded that routes must work differently than I thought.

I''m completely new to Ruby and Rails and could use some help resolving an issue.

I am very confused about where to put the belongs_to and the has_one (and other relationship identifiers). I have read the RDoc and the agile book many times about this and I think i still see it backwards. Let me outline my app so you have an understanding...
