Hi, On OS X (10.4.6), Rails 1.1.2... I tried doing a sudo gem update, and this is the result I''m getting: Upgrading installed gems... Attempting remote upgrade of mysql Attempting remote installation of ''mysql'' Select which gem to install for your platform (powerpc-darwin8.6.0) 1. mysql 2.7.2006.04.21 (mswin32) 2. mysql 2.7 (ruby) 3. mysql 2.6 (ruby) 4. mysql

All, If I have a table that has several discrete fields that all point to the same associated field, how do I model it. Specifically, If I have a project table that has 2 fields: specifying_company, and responsible_company. And one table of associated companies, how do I do the :belongs_to / :has_many stuff ie. For a given project company A may be writing the spec, but company B may be paying

There''s nothing like pushing a new major update in order to find bugs in the code when its exposed to a couple of hundred working applications. Thankfully the fixes were almost as swift as the reports. In any case, you''ll _definitely_ want to upgrade to 0.12.1 right away. There''s a good handful of fixes for both Action Pack and Active Record (mostly concerning the

find_by_sql BREAKS THE OOP BEAUTY and perhaps we can solve that. NAMING CONVENTIONS can perhaps make find_by_sql much more clever. lets imagine that relation: publishers <- books <-> authors_books <-> authors -> universities (can''t find something else than university for that last association :) ) imagine we want to fetch every book and every associated

Hi, I''ve got a strange problem. I had initially installed Rails using Tony Arnold''s package: <http://www.tonyarnold.com/articles/category/rails> and that worked fine. (on OS X, obviously). I then decided to reinstall using the instructions on the HiveLogic page, to get Ruby 1.8.4: <http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger> That

Hi, I''m working on an app - my first Rails - and am looking for some suggestions on the best way (or good way) to set up my models / DB. In general there are teams and matches; a team will participate in multiple matches, and in each match there will be 6 teams - 3 vs. 3. I''m going to want to be able, for a particular team, pull up all matches for that team, to display a

So apparently 1.8.4 is soon forthcoming. We need testing against it. Could someone help out with that? I believe Ara already checked into some of the issues, do you know if those are resolved, Ara? -- David Heinemeier Hansson http://www.loudthinking.com -- Broadcasting Brain http://www.basecamphq.com -- Online project management http://www.backpackit.com -- Personal information manager

Hi all, If I was to start developing an application using Edge Rails with the view to deploying on Rails 1.1, would I fall foul of lots of bugs, or is it relatively stable? I''d really like has_many :through relationships, to save me dealing with HABTM + associations. Thanks, Tom

Rails 1.1 was a big upgrade with a lot of new features and we''ve been working hard since its release to polish off the kinks revealed after it was deployed to the masses. Rails 1.1.1 contains fixes for things like Prototype memory leaks in IE 6, Oracle adapter runnings, and a number of compatibility tweaks to make most older applications work. This release still doesn''t work

Hello- I''m new to the ruby-based schemas and migrations. As I''m looking over examples and such online, I see that many of them don''t make use of schema-enforced attributes. For example, instead of: t.column "post_id", :integer, :default => 0, :null => false They do: t.column "post_id", :integer So I''m wondering -- is this

Hi, sounds somehow stupid, but I can''t get rid of my files that I uploaded into my application via the file_column plugin. Any suggestions? Cheers Thomas -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

In java/c++ the method signature provide a good details on which parameters the method accept, but in rails the ability to send hash as parameters make it impossible to know which parameters can be send. This ability make the rails API doc a must to be full of details and not supply partial examples of usage. When for example I see *link_to_remote*(name, options = {}, html_options = {}) I would

Okay I''ve been working on a little biding system. In my model I have class Item < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :bids def highest_bid @bid = 0 self.bids.each do |bid| if @bid == nil @bid = bid.max else if bid.max > @bid @oldbid,@bid = @bid,bid.max end end end if @oldbid == 0 "#{@bid} - #{@oldbid+1} = #{@bid -= @oldbid+1}" else dif =

Does anyone know how to view the new source in IE after an AJAX update? When I "view -> source" I get the original page source, not the page source as updated.

Hi, I''m developing an application where I''ll have to store a lot of images coming from the users. And I''m still not sure if I should store them in MySQl as blob or just store them on filesystem. If I store them on filesystem, how to scale when I''ll have to have multiple servers ? Thanks, Pratik -- rm -rf / 2>/dev/null - http://null.in

Well, my entry for the 24-hour Rails Day competition is here: http://yubnub.org . It''s a web app called YubNub that implements the grandiose idea of a "command line for the Web OS".

OK, I have some basic functionality to support bind variables, it appears to work with the ''old'' %s style too. I''ve altered sanitize_conditions in activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb to check whether bind variables are in the statement (/\?/). If they are, replace all the ?s to escaped values from the arguments array. else santize and expand. There are a few

Hi I updated gem rails today and saw that rails had an update. With the new edition, I get a warning statement printed that was not in the two earlier versions. (No message with either: require_gem ''activerecord'', "= 1.0.0" require_gem ''activerecord'', "= 1.0.0.20041114" ) The code still works, but the warning makes no sense. Plus,

Hi, I''ve got my little app working pretty well. I''m using pretty much the model and table layout from my previous thread, as suggested by Bill Katz: <http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/52506#26260> I have the Create page working and a delete Match page working, which along with the appropriate record in the Matches table, removes the linked items in the competitions table.

Hello, I tried Cody Fauser RJS tutorial (http://www.codyfauser.com/articles/2005/11/20/rails-rjs-templates) on my railsplayground dev site and got it to work when using Firefox, but when I tried it on Safari, nothing happens.
