Hiall, I want to give the action of a form an additional parameters but can''t figure out how to do it. My code looks like this <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create'', next_step => true %> <%= render :partial => ''user_form'' %> <%= render :partial => ''community_form'' %> <%= submit_tag

Hiall, I just tried out InstantRails version 1.3a. After a virgin install and filling the fresh mysql db with my app schema, I tried runningthe app with webrick, only to see the infamous "Lost connection to mysql server" for every action. What is it that I''m doing wrong? I also have mysql 5 installed on my machine, but the service is stopped while experimenting with

Hiall, If I have say 10 tables that i would like to wrap up in 1 view to manipulate data inside these tables, do I then need 10 model.rb files for all 10 tables plus 1 for the view, or do I just need 1 model.rb file for the view ? cheers Martin

Hiall, Is it possible to organize my model files below app/models into subfolders? E.g. I would like to put admin related models into their own subfolder. This kind of structuring works for controllers and views (scaffolding creates the right subfolder-model mappings), but app/models always stays flat. I''d really like to be able to group my code into logical, well packages :-) Yes, I

Hiall, When I try to run script/console from a windows command line like f:\rails_app\ruby script\console I get the following error: F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- initializer (LoadError) from F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require''

Hiall, Unfortunately I just can''t find out how to setup a default selected value when using collection_select. My call is like so: <%= collection_select(:consultant, :lastname, @consultants, :id, :lastname, { :selected => @current_consultant.id } ) %> which is not working, I debugged so far that I know that @current_consultant.id contains the correct value. Any tips? cheers

Hi All, I have some partials that need to be rendered a bit differently depending on the context. To make matters worse, sometimes these partials are including other partials, that I''d like to control from the main template. These partials are templates that look similar in different contexts, but have different controls depending on where they''re being rendered. I

Hiall, Call me stupid if you like .,) but it seems i can''t figure out how to get a named link using a combination of link_to and image_tag. What I need is basically a link displaying a name along with some image to indicate status (open,working,finished). I found no combination of link_to and image_tag that accepts a name, this seems to be solely used for making whole images into links

Hiall, I want to make an image_tag from within a controller in order to be able to present a link (with a status image) in a view. Here is my controller method (in file webca_controller.rb, hence WebcaController) def untouched_status_image_tag image_tag("open", { :alt => "Offen", :title => "Offen", :size => "12x12", :class =>

Ok now that I have find_by_sql love working for my "Top 10 List" I want to make them a bit more DRY. Tis is what I have so far: Model: def self.topfish find_by_sql["select species.name, length,species.multiplier*length as score,caught_on from entries join species on species_id = species.id where species_id = ? order by score DESC LIMIT 10", species]

Hello all I prefer to use many partials. It makes my code more DRY Also I use rspec, and when I have to test partial with sub partials I have a problem. if I stub render, then my partial will not be rendered. If i do not stub render it tries to render sub partial (and i don''t need this) Not very long googling did not bring the answer, so I made very dirty and IMHO dangerous function

Excuse my ignorance on partials but..... I am trying to use partials to create a uniform display box built with html tables. The only way I have thought about accomplishing this is to create two partials: _start_box.erb ---------------- <table id="box" width="<%= width %>"><tr><th><%= h(label_text) %></th></tr><tr><td>

Hiall, I''m wondering what''s common practice when dealing with money values stored in databases. I like the idea of storing all the values as integers, i.e. all the values in eurocents not euros. Then I need to multiply all values the users enter by 100 before storing them in the database. Now the question is, what''s the most efficient and dryest way to do this?

Hello, It''s pretty hard giving a practical example on this one. I have a partial which contains some generated Javascript. Something like: order_screen.rhtml ------------------------------------------- <h1>Order</h1> <div id="order_part"> <%=render :partial=>''order_new'' %> </div> <h1>Ordered products</h1>

Hi I am using a ''master'' layout in my project by putting "layout ''main''" in my application controller so that the same layout is applied to every controller and I would like to use partials in the layout file (obeying DRY, of course!) but if I render a partial in the layout then whenever the layout is rendered by a controller the layout looks for

hi all i was wondering whether it is possible to use partials along with form_for and form_field. following code is not working. is there some error or this case is impossible..?? *#new.html.erb* <h1>Enter Details for new Partner:</h1> <% form_for(@partner) do |f| %> <%= render :partial => ''form'', :locals => {:partner => f} %> <p>

Hiall, I would be very interested in your opinions on the ModelSecurity plugin by Bruce Perens. http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/ModelSecurity/Tutorial.html Some time ago, I read on a few pages that it is the way to go, on this list however, I didn''t read much about it. Apart from it''s security level, quoted from comments in source code: # FIX: At the moment we only support

Hi, Just wondering: when do people use a helper and when a partial? I''ve just converted a bunch of partials into helpers because I didn''t like the syntax of partials where I can had to pass in a :locals hash every time. I wonder what advantages a partial has over a helper and vice versa. I guess a partial has easier access to the controller and various assigned variables,

For me to keep my application DRY i need to be able to have partials that can be accessed from two views. How is would I go about doing this?

Hello, My main application layout, app/views/layout/application.rhtml looks like this: something render partial_1 something else render partial_2 something else render partial_3 The partials are not really doing anything, i use them to keep the layout modular (i.e . to have ~30 lines instead of 200). Now, the question is where to put _partial_1.rhtml, _partial_2.rhtml, _partial_3.rhtml. If i am
