This my first Rails project. All my previous work was done it Perl, so I may be missing the Ruby/Rails obvious here. The site I''m working on needs to display archived programs. Some of the programs have multiple versions, all belonging to the same listing. As such, I''ve set-up an extra_files table related to the archive list. Displaying the extra files was trivial. However,

I have a model that looks like this: class Actor < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :member_groups, :foreign_key => ''member_id'', :class_name => ''GroupMember'' has_many :groups, :through => :member_groups, :source => :group end class Group < Actor has_many :group_members, :foreign_key => ''group_id'',:dependent =>

What is the best way of checking this? I have 3 tables: groups users group_members class GroupMember < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :group belongs_to :user validates_uniqueness_of :user_id, :scope => "group_id" Then I want a method here that checks if a given user is a member of a given group. What is the right way of doing that? def

Cool!

We (the folks working on Souper) would appreciate any feedback on these IR-level superoptimizer results: http://blog.regehr.org/extra_files/souper-jul-15.html My impression is that while there's clearly plenty of material in here that doesn't want to get implemented in an opt pass, there are a number of gems hiding in there that are worth implementing.

All, I'm recently seeing an issue with how Samba is reporting the disk space available from a NFS share. Checking the properties from a PC system displays all mapped network drives as having 20.0 MB size with zero free disk space available. We updated to Samba version 3.0.11 this morning with no change in results. I have checked the bug reports and haven't found anything that resembles

I''m using a find with a :joins clause, like this: :joins => "JOIN table_b ON table_b.id=table_b_id" The records returned are used in a scaffold generated list page. The edit, show, and destroy links are getting the wrong id. They are getting the id of the table b record. When I run the query using mysql, I see that the query returns *2* id columns, the id of the main

I''m interested in making a low volume rails application very available. This means that I would like to have an alternate server for those times when the primary server is unavailable for whatever reason. Virtual private servers are fairly inexpensive so one could have a rails application on 2 different vps systems (not on the same server, possibly not even in the same city).

I just created a new rails project "test". I then did "switchtower --apply-to ~/user/test test" I then moved into test and tried "rake restart" and got: kfelkins@lurch:~/user/test$ rake restart (in /home/kfelkins/user/test) rake aborted! Don''t know how to build task ''restart'' I see restart in deploy. Can restart be invoked from the

I moved a rails application to textdrive using their low-cost shared plan. Once on textdrive my app would display ''proxy errors'' periodically. Hitting reload seemed to be all that was needed to get past the proxy error. After discussions with their support people I decided the proxy errors were being caused by apache server restarts -- because there were many of us sharing one

I''m trying to get an application running in a sub directory of a site using apache and scgi. The application runs fine with webrick. I have a site. Let''s call it "mysite.org". There is a variety of content on that site. I would like to add a rails application to that site. Let''s call the application "myapp". So we will have urls of the form

Does your *shared* hosting account work without errors? I''m interested in both positive and negative reports. If you are willing, please contribute - name of the hosting service - how long you have used them - your experience ("flawless!", "it''s crap!") You *do not* need to reply saying your VPS service works great. This is about *shared* hosting

Is there an easy way to deal with nil properties in templates? All I''m aware of are these methods, and it''s quite tedious and surely violates DRY. <%= @member.name unless @member.name.nil? %> <%= @member.name.to_is %> <%= "#{@member.name}" %> csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I have a model with a belongs_to association. The first model is called Thing and the associated model is User. I''m attempting to assign the user to the thing. To accomplish this I used a before_save method, like this: class Thing < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :created_by, :class_name => "User", :foreign_key => "created_by_user_id" def before_create

I'm rsyncing a directory on a linux box to a win xp pro with cygwin. Some of the files are always copied, or so it appears by the progress report and the fact that a dot version of the file is created and grows to the full size before completion. Note, the source file is not changing - it is a static file sitting in a directory and is not modified. Nor is the corresponding file in the target

I''ve got unit tests for a class library that I''m using in a rails project. Currently this is the only project using this library so I would like to keep the classes and tests in the rails project. I moved the classes under [app]/lib. I currently have the tests in [app]/test. It would be great if these tests were run every time I run ''rake''. What is everyone
