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.

Hi, I have a standard type authentication technique direct from AWDWR, so there is a before_filter :authorize_employee, :except => :login in my employees_controller.rb the authorize_employee is in application.rb def authorize_employee unless session[:employee_id] flash[:notice] = "Please log in" # save the URL the user requested so we can hop

I''m trying now to do "sudo fixrbconfig" in the terminal, and I get this: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h does not exist. This probably means you haven''t yet installed Xcode from the Tiger DVD. You won''t be able to compile Ruby extensions without it. Please install it then rerun this program. I''m on an intel mac.

I have a database with a couple of tables. One table called spares has foreign keys in another called equipment. When I create a new record, it is added to the spares table however the list action does not show all the columns in the table. It only shows those columns that are not foreign keys. I am using the default action generated by scaffold for list. Why is that so? Do i need to re-write my

I have two models, Donor and Contribution, and have has_many and belongs_to set respectively. My question is regarding creation of associated objects. I''ll let the code speak: me = Donor.find(1) contribution = me.contributions.create do |e| e.amount = 164.00 e.category = Category.find(1) end I thought this was valid, but it doesn''t work properly - it appears to

I''m trying to get the id of the previous row prior to what would be input and then rename an uploaded image to that row number. So say the previous row was 19 and the image in that row was named 19.jpg, I''m wanting to name the next uploaded image as 20.jpg since the row that would be added then would be 20. Right now I''ve just got: @new_tutorial =

I have the model that acts as list acts_as_list :scope => ''featured=1'' As you can see, I only need to order the records that are featured. However, from time to time I switch some featured items off and mark others as featured. When this is done, I start getting dublicate numbers on the list and ordering starts getting problem... What would be the good approach to

I am using the ACL System that is described on the Rails wiki and I have a quick question. I want to set the "role" as a session variable so that I can display certain navigation schemes and I was doing it like this: @session[:user][:role] = @user.roles When I print out this variable I get: #<Role:0x3262d80> How can I turn this into a readable value? I tried .to_i

I looked everywhere but couldn''t find it. I don''t want a submit_tag or image_submit_tag but a normal link that submits my form. Normally I would do this with a javascript like function sendForm () { document.forms[0].submit(); } but this doesn''t work with form_remote_tag link_to_function( ''Send'' , "sendform();") So the question is:

I am working on and will be publicly showing ActiveRecord some love around the time of the RubyConf*MI [1] in late August. My main focus is getting AR to better handle inserts, updates and merges when working large sets of data. It can improve improve performance by 400% to 600% in preliminary benchmarks. I am coding this in a way so it can be patched to AR easily, and with that in mind

Dear experts, I am in the process of switching servers for my application. Before the move everything was working properly. After the move <%= stylesheet_link_tag ''/stylesheets/styles.css'' %> generates <link href="//stylesheets/styles.css" media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />

I''m tinkering around with an old legacy table in SQL Server 2000. Ruby 1.8.4, most recent ADO.rb file from RubyForge, Rails 1.0 Here''s the model: class InventoryItem < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "[_SMDBA_].[_INVENTOR_]" set_primary_key "sequence" end Everything works fine. I can retrieve records without issue. However, when create a new

Does anyone know if Rails is supposed to validate associated objects on creation? Say you have a User model, with has_many posts, and a Post model which belongs_to user. Further, the Post model has a validates_uniqueness_of :title. u = User.find(1) # this should pass u.posts.create :title => ''my new post title'' # this should fail u.posts.create :title => ''my

I would like to set up some my app. to display a standalone HTML page - not rendered through RoR per se. Something like render(:inline => some_Javascript_function... then in the Javascript some_Javascript_function, I want to open up a popup with the URL I specify. However, because it is a relative URL, it is going through the RoR routing algorithm. I don''t want that - can I

When a controller responds to a link_to_remote with a redirect_to, the link_to_remote gets a success callback, this would seem like a bug to me, at a minimum it should return a failure? This is driving me crazy because all the login engines/generators respond to an authentication error with a redirect_to. The work around is to change them to all do a render :layout => false, :status => 500
