So right now I''m stuck with doing: Item.find(:first, :conditions => ["name = ? or name =?", Potatoes, potatoes]) I''d prefer to do:

Hello, I have the following structure: model foo has_many :bars:, :dependent => true end model bar belongs_to :foo end In my action, when i try to save foo: def save begin f = foo.new f.a = 5 begin b = bar.new b.a = 10 f.bars << b rescue Exception => exc ... end f.save! <-- This does not happen

Hi, I want to be able to have several layouts within each other so that I don''t have to keep repeating the layout code for one, in another. An example would be having a layout for the title of your web page and then having an embedded layout for the body portion in which the HTML for whatever view gets displayed. Is this possible?

Hey- I''m using ROR 1.0 and script.aculo.us 1.5.1. I''ve been trying unsuccessfully to render a partial in a DIV, but can''t seem to get the right combination of stuff to make it work.

Hi, I have one minor issue. I''m trying to check whether a directory is empty given some path to the directory. My code does the following: if(File.directory?(dirpath)) # dirpath = public/images/1 if(File.zero?(dirpath)) FileUtils.rm_rf(dirpath) end end The problem is, while testing this, if I put a file in the directory and run the above code, it still ends up deleting the

Hi, I''d like to be able to store the absolute path for a file so that I could use <img src = "...." > and give it the path to the file I''d like to display.

Hi, I''m able to upload files onto my webserver filesystem but I had a question regarding how I''d go about accessing them using the <img src="..." > tag.

I would imagine storing just the

Hi, How do I pass a variable from my action into a model before saving the model. I''d like the model instance to have access to this variable to do some work before saving the model instance but the variable is not part of the model itself. Thanks, Sam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

(Just getting started w rails, web app dev for a long time...) I have some partials that are common across multiple controllers. They''re not universal, so they don''t belong to be part of these controllers'' layouts. It appears that I can put them at the root of /views/, and render them using a relative path, like so: <%= render :partial => "./footer"

Newbie question: From a _form.rhtml file I have: <%= render(:partial => ''item'', :collection => @items) %> In _item.rhtml I have: <% @tullt = h(item.body) %> <%= @itemdb = Group.find(:all, :conditions => "id = ''#{@tullt}''").map {|u| [u.name] } %> <%= @tullt % I think it would be better to

Greetings, I recently upgraded Samba on an Ubuntu 14.04.2 server from version 4.1.9 to 4.2.3.

Hello, I''ve been using InstantRails 1.0 that has ruby 1.8.4 and rails 1.0. Some of you might know that the RMagick package does not work with ruby 1.8.4.
