Hi! I''m looking for a good tutorial that explains the main points of performing queries with Rails.

Ahoy, I made this pager, " def list @item_pages = Paginator.new self, Item.count, 10, @params[''page''] @items = Item.find :all, :conditions => "category_id = #{params[:condition]}", :limit => @item_pages.items_per_page, :offset => @item_pages.current.offset @categories = Category.find_all

Using the paginator helper, is there a way to determine what page an item in the collection is on? Thanks in advance for your help!

There must be a better way to write this code: @project_pages, @projects= paginate :project, :per_page => 10, :conditions => ["account_id = ?", account] ?! If only I could pass the sub-collection account = ... @projects = account.project to paginate, instead of letting it extract it with a find :all + sql conditions Alain. -- Posted via

Hi - I''ve just started working with Rails, having come from a Cold Fusion background. I''m curious how best to deal with a huge result set. For example, I''m building an app that contains users. I''ve used scaffolding to setup my initial pages for CRUD operations on users. All that is great. The problem is, I''m going to end up with 1000+ users in

I have a little web app where we need to paginate collections of items. I''m trying to sort the collection and then pass it, sorted, to a Paginator, and still be able to paginate through the collection, across several pages, with the new sort order. The only thing I''m doing differently from the regular scaffolding approach is this: @order_pages = Paginator.new(self,

How can I paginate a set of fields in descending order based on their created_on date? For example, in a blog app, you want the very first entry on the first page to be the most recent. I see that paginate has an :order parameter, but I don''t see any way of changing the direction of the order. Thanks, Jeff Coleman -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I would like to get at all models in a rails application to be able to add a field to every one of them as part of a migration. Something like the following: Appmodels.each { |x| add_column x.table_name.to_s, :foo, :text } I understand I can get the table name using ActiveRecord::Base#table_name, but how do I get all the models into an array that I can use in the above manner? -- Cheers, Hasan
