All, I have a controller action that will do a different "render (:action)" call depending on whether or not data is valid. When the data is invalid - I set a flash element to hold a message. However, when I post back to this controller action and have valid data, I still have the flash element set, which I don''t want. I believe this is because I did a render from the

I wanted to group some functions which I use in some models in one place. Controllers have application.rb and views have helpers but I couldn''t find anything about models. Using the /lib directory seemed to be the only way. Alright... so I have something like this: /lib/code.rb class ActiveRecord::Base def method_a(n) ....... end def method_b(n) ........ end end

I''m trying to update a table row (i.e. replace a <tr></tr>) using AJAX/RJS but of course this cannot be done in IE (works fine in Firefox). I have googled but have not found any solutions, only a lot of discussion. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Cheers, Nicholas

Is there a way to control which model modules are being loaded (e.g. models/mymodels) -- all modules are automatically loaded. I want to load them depending on what environment I am running (e.g. development vs production) Cheers, Nicholas

Any ideas why I would get an error in a RJS helper on view helpers such as number_to_currency. Example: # my_template.rjs page.help_me # my_helper for my_controller def help_me number_to_currency(10) end I have also tired page.number_to_currency but that doesn''t work either. Cheers, Nicholas

I admit I am stuck. I am converting a legacy php site to ROR. The old site uses MD5, a security flaw waiting to happen. I upgraded to AAA and am adding code in the session_controller.rb file to see if crypted_password is blank. If it is, crypt and check the password against the old md5 version and write it in the new crypted_password field. Here is my code add on before the logged_in?: def

I thought I had this nailed but.. now I''m seeing spots.. I''ve included my models below, feel free to ignore them. I''m really just after an example that works. I couldnt find one on the wiki... which is fair enough considering Ricks patch: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/4022 that fixed them only went through 5 days ago.. Cheers -henster

Hey, I have the following line in my controller: User.create(:email => "fuuu-+RB1Aph5k6s@public.gmane.org", :password => ''asldfkjadsfadsf'', :ip => request.remote_ip) my IP is 127.0.0.1 - now User.find_by_ip(''127.0.0.1'') returns 0 records although User.first contains ''127.0.0.1'' if I change it to: User.create(:email =>

Hi, I''m using scriptaculous to provide an auto complete textbox - and it works perfectly - but I was wondering if there was anyway to let users navigate the choices using the keyboard i.e the curor keys as opposed to having to use the mouse? Apart from that it''s perfect! :) Cheers, Pete -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Please excuse yet another newbie question... I''m getting this error: MissingSourceFile in <controller not set>#<action not set> c:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.8.1/lib/action_controller/dependencies.rb:75:in `require_dependencies'': Missing model MyModel.rb From these lines of code: class MyModelController < ApplicationController

I am aware that controllers can be placed in modules: ruby script/generate controller modulename/controllername But what does this buy me? Is it just a way of ensuring that my source code is nicely arranged, or can I use the fact that a set of controllers are all within a particular model to implement functionality common to all of those controllers? Why am I asking? The app

One: I have never set up an IMAP server before, so I thought I would ask first before blindly stumbling around. The problem I am want to solve is this: my wife and I have a "joint" email account that we both want to access (we also have our own personal accounts, but that's beside the point.) I posed the question to my local LUG, and several suggested setting up a local IMAP

I am trying to subit some xml data over https to access an API. My code so far seems to generate a very non-helpful error in the guts of the net/http library. This code produces a NoMethodError for nil.strip" require ''net/http'' require ''net/https'' require ''uri'' url =

If I want to do this but not save to the database, how can I go about it? things.each do |thing| changed = someotherqueryresult thing.update_attribute :testattrib, changed end Essentially I want to create a collection called things with some extra attributes that are not saved into the database, as they are just used for sorting in a view and should not be saved (in fact saving them wastes
