I''ve been mostly lurking here with an occasional nuby question for a few weeks now. It seems like Ruby and Rails and the many libraries and tools growing up around it are a remarkable toolset. Unfortunately I''m finding the whole enchilada a bit daunting. It seems that if one is to truly tap into the power of this thing and do a significant amount of developing, one needs

This is a bit of a nuby question methinks but i''ve had a play/search around and it''s just bugging me now :0) Say I have a conditional statement, testing a variable against a number of values. The first way i did this is like so: if myvar != "" and myvar != 0 and myvar != nil # .. code end This seems a bit messy - is there neater way of doing this? I thought of:

total rails nuby here. I have a table "thumbnails", hence the model Thumbnail. I''m extending the Thumbnail class with a few constants needed for thumbnail cropping: class Thumbnail < ActiveRecord::Base SOURCE_FILE_PATH = "path/to/source" TARGET_FILE_PATH = "path/to/target" TARGET_WIDTH = 100 TARGET_HEIGHT = 100 end Now, in my controller

Hi everyone, I''m a rails & ruby nuby, and this is my first post to the list.

(Nuby to Ruby and Rails...) I''ve implemented security using the login generator in a simple app so that I have a user table, a roles table, and a join between them (roles_users). All works as expected. I now need to check if a user has a specific role, but my approach is off somehow. Here''s what I''ve tried thusfar: user_roles = @session[:user].roles

Good morning rspec people! Still rspec nuby: I must do something wrong obviously. How can I spec about redirect_to at ApplicationController describe ApplicationController do it "method login_required should redirect to home path without login" do pending "I tried to use controller.login_required.should be_redirected and got NoMethodError with nil object

Hi All, I''m super a super ruby nuby, so bare with me. I am working on a small app that has a particular form that I am having a rough time figuring out the best to way to handle. Basically here it is, each school has one or more classrooms, and each classroom can have one or more teachers. Here''s what I am trying to do (edit a school): - click on a link to edit a School -

Here''s the scenario. I have a main tree-like table (actually it''s more of a hierarchy), where the entries (or at least some of them) can be categorised as one or more of a fixed number of types (prob about 6 poss types). So an entry could be a Type A and a Type D; a Type C, D, E; just a Type F; etc. Having a join table would seem like it might get rather expensive since

Hi, Nuby on Rails here trying to bring up an existing app on a new installation.

Hello all, I am a rails nuby and I am evaluating using Rails for a new web application. The application will have a large number of tables (>70) that will basically mimic a large collection of paper forms that user would otherwise have to fill out. From what I have read on rails thus far it seems I would have to create a lot of models and form templates. Is this common and if so does

Heyo! I am setting up a self-referencial habtm relationship with the users of my app. I am using Chad Fowler''s "Rails Recipes" to get me started, and everything works great with the join table "people_friends".
