Hi. Assume you have an array of person names. I want to generate results in my view that look like this: Abby is your friend or Abby, Bob, and Carol are your friends. So I''d like to say: <%= friends.to_sentence %> <%= pluralize(friends.count, "is") %> your <%= pluralize(friends.count, "friend") %> But because pluralize puts in the

Just a quick pointer to some ActiveSupport patches hoping for reviews: Puts Array#to_query and Object#to_query in the right places in ActiveSupport - http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10395 Preserve user-specified content type for XML and JSON rendering (currently it''s overridden and set to Mime::XML/Mimi::JSON - http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10388 Oh and a tiny patch for

Consider this problem. I have an Item that has_many Features I want to find all Items with a Feature name of ''foo''. Normally you would do this.. @items = Item.find(:all, :conditions=>["features.name = ?", ''foo''], :include=>:features) This all works fine and dandy except for this problem. If you do this... <% for item in @items %>

I am currently using activerecord without rails and I''d like to use the acts_as_ferret plugin as it works well with activerecord. How do I take advantage of the acts_as_ferret without rails installed? Is this possible? If someone could provide me with direction on how this would be done, that would be greatly appreciated. I assume that since active record works without rails that all

to the ones i defined in my model? for example if in the model i specify acts_as_ferret to index only column 1, 2, and 3 in my table....how can i perform a search just for column 1 if need be. for example, id like to give the user the ability to just search on title name vs description, etc... thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I am new to R, so I am unsure of the formula to set up this analysis. I would like to run a linear model with a continuous dependent variable (brain volume) and a continuous independent variable (age) while controlling for a categorical nuisance variable (gender). Age and brain volume are correlated. There are no gender differences in age but there are significant gender differences in brain

Dear expeRts, I would like to use a oneway_test (from package coin) to test whether two groups differ on various variables. The variables are encoded within a data frame. Unfortunately, I obtained an error, that I don't understand. Could you please help me ? Example: library(coin) y <- as.data.frame(matrix(rnorm(200), ncol=2)) group <- as.factor(unif(100)) lapply(y,

Dear R-users, I am wondering whether R implements a function returning the non central parameter of a t distribution (equivalent of the TnoncT function from SAS), given /x/ a value from a t distribution, /df /the degrees of freedom and /p/ the probability of x under this distribution.

Is there any package that allow you to perform "MA plot" like graph for Toray microarray data? Unlike Affymetrix CEL file which contain 2 values (R and G), Torray raw data only contain 1 value. MA-plot is Affymetrix specific which usually available for in (limma) package. P. Dubois [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear useRs, I have written a function that implements a Bayesian method to compare a patient's score on two tasks with that of a small control group, as described in Crawford, J. and Garthwaite, P. (2007). Comparison of a single case to a control or normative sample in neuropsychology: Development of a bayesian approach. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 24(4):343?372. The function (see

Dear useRs, I have written a very simple function to compute some probabilities on words (function is below). The function includes a which() statement applied to a vector of characters (word.split): sapply (word.split, function(x) which(letters==x)). This statement worked as expected when used outside the global function : > word <- "hello" > (word.split <-

Hi! If I have two models, Product and Manufacturer, of course Product belongs_to :manufacturer. A search engine would allow a user to look for a product by its name or manufacturer. Is it better to define a method like: def searchable_field "#{name} #{manufacturer.name}" end and add it as indexable field (acts_as_ferret :fields =>

Dear Rusers, I tried to implement a function comparing mean scores between one subject (the patient) and a group a control subjects. The function returns attended results, but I also obtained the following warning : Warning message: the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used in: if (substr(fp, 1, 1) == "<") fp else paste("=", fp) Maybe

Hi all, I''m using the older win32 happy backgroundrb in combination with the ''acts_as_ferret'' install as a plugin. Since I''ve installed acts_as_ferret, I haven''t been able to get backgroundrb to start. It keeps failing at the ''acts_as_ferret'' method call in one of my models. Here''s a code snippet of the model: class Book

How do I use a model that has "acts_as_ferret" defined outside rails? I''ve tried adding this to the top of my model: require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/acts_as_ferret.rb" and then defining RAILS_ROOT and RAILS_ENV in my app that uses the model outside rails. That got me this exception:

Hi, I''m trying to get the acts_as_ferret plugin to work with my rails application, but it barfs with this error: No such file or directory - ./index/development/Book/segments I have existing data in my database, but it was added prior to me using the ferret plugin. How do I get it to index that data, or when does it index that data? Charlie -- Posted via

Hi all, the current acts_as_ferret trunk is now ported to Ferret 0.10. Get it while it''s hot at svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin Nearly everything works, besides this: - all queries are ORed (no way to tell the QueryParser to build AND queries by default) - more_like_this is broken I''m working with Dave to fix these things soon.
