Hi All, I am doing some research on how people start with their Rails app. What design decisions are made and how is it build. For example: - do you use scaffolding and go from there? Or do you create everything from scratch? - are you using multiple controllers? Or do you put everything in one? - do you use migrate? - how do you use migrate? Do you call migrate your self or do you use the

Here''s the situation: I have a "people" table whose "id" column serves as a foreign key to several other tables (authorships, editorships, members, users, etc.). Every now and then I will find two distinct records in the "people" table that represent the same human being. They generally differ by small differences in spelling but should really be the

Am i a total idiot to try and parse out a rails object for javascript in this way? <% for i in interface_items[0].attributes %> var <%= i[0] %> = "<%=h( i[1] )%>" <% end %> Am I missing something really obvious?

Hi! I try to get AJAX running on a mobile Windows Mobile 5.0 based device and failed. There should be a JavaScript support but nothing happens.

I''m trying to find events created after an initial date. I''m sure it''s something obvious, but I''m not sure why this isn''t working: def self.find_recent find(:all, :conditions=>"created_at > #{Time.local(2006, 4, 27, 22, 0, 0)}") end Time for more caffeine for me...

I have the following tables: Users, Clients, Roles, Assignments(user_id, role_id, client_id) and Rights(controller, action). First of all, I''d like to know if hooking things up this way makes any sense. Could perhaps add a second join table between assignments and roles, but not sure that would add any value. What i''m really wondering about, though - is how to do things the

Hi, I have an AR model called Entity, which is extended in a plugin like this (this is in a file under lib/ which is required by init.rb of the plugin): http://github.com/dedomenon/madb_notifications/blob/master/lib/madb_notifications_lib.rb#L8 Entity.class_eval do def user_subscribed_to_creation?(user_id) NotificationSubscription.find(:first, :conditions => [ "source_filter

I have a an STI table which acts_as_tree, that has a large number of classes/types.

Hello all, I''m creating a many-many join table between ''homes'' and ''users''. Can it contain created_on? will AR update created_on, updated_on on this table?

Ok, I''m missing something obvious but after some reasonable looking in _The_ Rails book (sorry haven''t gotten the cookbook yet) and these archives I don''t see a solution to my question. Question: What is the cleanest way to load a div via AJAX when the page loads - no user action necessary. I don''t really want to hack in a hidden remote form or link that is

Hi, In my user_controller.rb, I have the following method, which is supposed to send the user to their profile, dependng on what "role" they are (the roles correspond to the other controllers: venue, band, fan): def login if request.post? if session[:user_id] = User.authenticate(params[:user][:login], params[:user][:password]) flash[:message] =

Hi, I have a VM with a git repository whose origin is on github. I have several keys known to github, so I needed to set git's core.sshcommand config parameter in the repository to something like this: ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github2 But it meant that I needed to copy that key to the VM. The same key is available via my forwarded ssh-agent connection. Is it possible to tell ssh to use
