Hi, I seem to remember seeing the equivalent of saving only if all attributes are different. I can''t seem to find that now in the API or the agile book. I''m using the acts_as_versioned and only want to save if the input is different. Thanks, Steve http://www.smarkets.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I need a fresh set of eyes to look at this bit of controller code and tell me why I might be getting an error message: lookup = Profit.find(:all, :conditions => [ "user_id = ? AND product_id = ?", uid, pid]) unless lookup.empty? if (lookup.updated_on > 360.minutes.ago) return end end If lookup is empty, then I

Hi All, Rails newbie here trying to set up acts_as_versioned according to Chapter 14 in the Rails Recipies book. I''ve taken the following steps (nearly verbatim) as mentioned by the book: - created the target model "Post" - added the "acts_as_versioned" label to the model file - generated a migration file - added the table creation code and the command

I am using a serialized attribute in one of my models The serialized data is in the form of an array. I want to have a text_tag for each element contained in my serialized attribute. How would I construct the text_tag? My model name is ''questions''. The serialized attribute is "answers" So I might have: <% form tag %> <% text_tag ''question'',

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? CREATE homes_users ( home_id int not null, user_id int not null, created_on datetime null, updated_on datetime null ) Thanks for your advice! -- ------------------------------ Apple MacBook.

i know that title sounds confusing, but here is the deal: the two columns that we are concerned with for this question are the "updated_on" column and the "views" column. the views column increases everytime a user visits a certain page. like this: @object.update_attributes(:views => @object.views + 1) the problem is that when a user visits the page, it AUTOMATICALLY

Hi, I''ve got a live_search field in a partial that is on several different pages. On all pages, except 1, it works fine. On the page it doesn''t work on, it seems it never executes it action. Here''s my observe_field code inside the partial: <h1><label for="searchtext">Live Search:</label></h1> <%= text_field_tag :searchtext

All, My initial list is rather busy. I would like to shorten the created_on and updated_on fields to just display the date, not the time. Best wold be a simple 12/28/05 type of presentation. I''ve found the format helpers in rdoc. (ie. distance_of_time_in_words_to_now ), but none seem to be what I''m looking for. How do I control the date format of a timestamp field? Thanks

Hi you all, I have a model simulating an ActiveRecord model, according to the tips stated in [1]. It is simulated because even though I am gonna save the attributes in a file, not in a DB, I still want the validations made by ActiveRecord::Base (see code below). Well, the thing is that I also want the behaviour of the created_on and updated_on columns, that get modified automatically before

Hi Rails List, I need some beta testers for my new site: http://www.smarkets.net. This list is literally the first group to see it, so be gentle. Smarkets is a prediction market for Amazon products. It takes Amazon products and turns them into a stock. The price of these "stocks" move based on the movement of its Amazon sales rank. If the sales rank goes up 10%, the price of the stock

Hi list, I have a list of tags. I want to be able to click on a tag and have that tag name populate an input field. I think delicious used to allow you to click on existing links to tag your bookmark similar to this (moving instead to auto_complete). My guess is the code looks something like this.... <form> <input type="text" name="all" id="discover"

Hi, I''ve started getting an error I can''t debug. The error doesn''t generate anything in my development log. A breakpoint set right at the beggining of the controller method does not get triggered. It happens on a form submission. I can make changes to the object model from with the console, but not on this form submission. I thought maybe it was routing, because I have

I am a bit confused about counter_cache here. The API docs http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ClassMethods.html say that only the belongs_to association can take the :counter_cache option. When I try to use it on a has_many I get an "unknown key(s): counter_cache" error. Why would this be the case? belongs_to means that this model has a field with an id

Quick question to see how I might re-sort an Activerecord data set. Let''s say I have this table: tablename: testscores | id | student | score | avg_for_year 1, steve, 85, 82 2, tom, 84, 92, 3, jim, 92, 95 In my controller, I have something like: t= Testscores.find(:all, :order => "score DESC", :limit => 2) ...where it would return the records for Jim and Steve.... My

I''ve installed the acts_as_versioned gem, and it shows up as installed when i do a "gem list" After installing it, I set up my new model with the "acts_as_versioned" line in its model file. I think went to run my migration to create this table, and I got the following error: == CreateDpslevels: migrating ================================================ --

I''ve just about finished up work on a plugin similar to acts_as_taggable, but for comments instead which would allow you to attach comments (possibly even a threaded discussion if conbined with acts_as_tree) to any object. Is there anyone that would be interested in it? I don''t want to go throug the trouble of finding some way to distribute it unless I know that there is a

Hi, I am having trouble with using the acts_as_versioned plugin. I installed the plugin, and ran the migration. acts_as_versioned created the versioned table OK, but when I try to use it I get an error. Here is some console output: >> m = Mymodel.find(:first) NameError: undefined local variable or method `acts_as_versioned'' for Mymodel:Class Did I miss a step? Ingo --

I am looking at using acts_as_versioned to manage revisions of data in several tables in my application. However, the default behavior of acts_as_versioned appears to apply to individual rows within a table. The tables I want to version are complicated lookup tables and what I really want is to version the entire contents of each table as a single set. Adding a row, deleting a row, or updating

I''d been ignoring this error message in my log for a while: ActionController::RoutingError (Recognition failed for "/robots.txt"): I had never touched robots.txt. So I decided to make it a proper robots.txtfile I found this great article... http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/seo/robots-txt-file/ ...where Dave explains the ins and outs of the file. Before I changed mine, I

Hi all, Despite switching to mod_fcgid (which has improved performance), sessions are still expiring sporadically. I thought I might try switching to storing them in the db, but I get the following error when I try to run the rake create_sessions_table command D:\User\Code\ruby\prometheus>rake create_sessions_table (in D:/User/Code/ruby/prometheus) rake aborted! undefined local variable or
