using the below: <%= select(''project'', ''project_type_id'', @project_types.collect {|x| [x.name,x.id]}, {:include_blank => true}) %> but i''d like that first option to have something like "select project type" with an empty value?

When I explain RoR to someone I don''t have a convincing argument that explains why everything is so automatic and transparent, but relationships have to be encoded by hand in models. That shows I don''t understand well that part of AR. There''s the argument that says that not all databases offer metadata about foreign keys, but the natural question then is that,

Hello, If your operation depends on FreeBSD you should be aware there is currently a funding request by the FreeBSD security officer. I''m relaying this information because I know FreeBSD is an important platform for Rails and I hope those of you who do depend on FreeBSD will be willing to put some money forward for this valuable work to continue. You can read about the request

I have installed Ruby and Rails on my Intel iMac according to the instructions provided by Hivelogic. Everything works perfectly. I have noticed that if I close Terminal and later come back and open it, It seems like the paths set in bash_login are lost. If I open bash_login the paths are still there however if i do ruby -v it says I am running 1.8.2 (mac default) when I have installed 1.8.4.

In my rjs template I''m using the following line. page.visual_effect :slideUp, ''comment_error_details'', :duration => 0.5 It works fine if I have created the div with the id="comment_error_details", but if I haven''t created the error yet then my whole rjs template fails. How can I check to see if an element has been created? I could then put

I''m on Mac OSX and I''m about to rip my hair out over how hard it is to install rails. I''ve installed rubygems and am typing "ruby setup.rb" in the command line and get "No such file or directory." I''ve never had to use command lines before so this is alien to me. Can''t they just make installation GUI-based for non-geeks like

Hi all, lately I''ve been working with ROR on a MAC OSX tiger at work, however I have one huge problem with seems to be the root of all my problems whenever I use terminal or iTerm to start workign with ROR. Every single time I open a new terminal window or close one and open a new one, I have to reapply my path from .bash_login for Ruby and MySql, and than I have to install the

Greetings, I just found Puppet last night. Really wish that the discovery had been made last month before tons of late night messy bash scripts were written to help boot up an ec2 image.... With very little effort Puppet is now installed on my desktop as a server and one of my staging servers is able to call into the puppetmaster to run a very very simple manifest. So far I am super-

Here''s my crazy question of the day. Has anybody played around with using Rails to create Mac OS X Dashboard Widgets? Or is that just sick and wrong? Giles

So, the usual problem -- we want to be able to test our manifests before putting them into full-scale no-holds-barred oh-shit-we-broke-teh-intarweb production. The two possible solutions I''ve considered so far are: 1) Set a tag on objects we only want to be run on our test machines, and run Puppet on the test machines with "please run objects tagged ''test''".

I would like to define some constants that I can use across models and views and I cannot figure out how to do that. Googling hasn''t turned up anything useful and I''m looking at the PickAxe book, and I get the impression that a constant must belong to a class. If I just want a constant like... CompanyPhoneNo = "(602) 999-9999" and be able to use it in any view

There was a discussion a while ago about adding inheritance to definitions. There is a need for a way to specialize parameters while allowing passing other options. This comes up with remotefile where it would be nice to have a default server location but not specify all the parameters (and their defaults) in the definition. Was there a change to the syntax? Is there a way to accomplish this?
