Hi, How can I know the iteration number of a *render (:partial)* iterating through a collection? Example: I got a collection containing 3 elements: *John *Pierre *Chris John would respond to 1, Pierre to 2 and Chris to 3 and so on... Kind of like the *cycle* method acts but to know the iteration number. Guillaume Carbonneau -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Not really a Rails question, but a "best practices" one. If I want to associate an image to every account in my application, is it better to insert the image file directly inside the db or to upload the image in public/images/ ? Also, if I want to associate a cover to a movie, what''s the best approach ? TIA, ngw -- Nicholas Wieland nicholas_wieland@yahoo.it

Hello, I basically have the following problem - I have a site that will allow people to upload videos. The video may be in any format - .mov, .avi, .wmv etc..

Okay, so this is driving me crazy. I''m trying to do a file upload using code from a book. What happens: I get wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) in the upload controller save action. No idea why. Schema: The schema for the picture model object is just a textfield named comments and a binary field called data. Upload controller: def get @picture =Picture.new end def save

I want to upload a file. And what I am confused about is...should I upload it using a separate table or just as another file in the form. If as a separate table then I am not able to save it on the system/ Or/ If not that, then how can i check for the extensions? Do reply. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m working on a plugin that requires some database support to do its job (adding a model or two). I''d like the plugin to automatically add a migration once it is installed. Is there already a mechanism for this? If so, how do you do it? -- *Berin Loritsch* Owner *Work:* 571-215-7708 *Email:* bloritsch@d-haven.com <mailto:bloritsch@d-haven.com> *IM:*

Hi Everyone, I am following the ''Agile Web Dev. with Rails'' book, and I used instant rails to do the install on a Windows machine. Everything seemed to work fine until I got to: Booting WEBrick...

I''m using ActiveRecord for an Extract and Transform operation, so it is outside of its native environment of Rails. I am running into a problem with memory consumption when I retrieve large amounts of data. By large amounts I am talking about roughly 12,700 records that each have a one to many relationship with about 15 additional types of information. One of those types happens

I have a User model with an email attribute. I''m using the following validations: validates_confirmation_of :email validates_format_of :email, :with => RFC822::EmailAddress, :message => "must be a valid address in the form user@domain.com" validates_uniqueness_of :email, :message => "address has already been taken.

Anyone got a good validation for validating a phone number? I just want to make sure that whatever the user enters is somewhat sensical, and i''d like to be fairly liberal about what kind of a format it''s in. Joe

In a model I have following validates_format_of. Is there an easy way to DRY this up? It seems to be rather repetitive. validates_format_of :expiration_date, :with => /^[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}$/ validates_format_of :activation_date, :with => /^[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}$/ validates_format_of :some_other_date, :with =>

Hello all After being told of a funky date validator I will ask again for another validator :) Does anyone know of a plugin that validates that a field is the correct syntax for an IP Address? Thanks Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve noticed that validates_format_of will return invalid if the field is nil. Question 1) How should we declare a validation that will validate it with a regex if it is set, but, if the field is not set, just move on Question 2) Why is it done this way? The other validators are only invoked if the field is set . If you want to declare the field mandatory, you add a

Hi all, I''ve got a form which accepts a "price" field and I''m attempting to validate it and allow some flexibility in the way the user enters it. It''s a numeric field but I want the user to be able to enter dollar signs and commas naturally in the data entry. I''m trying to understand how to use validates_format_of, and I''m not sure what

I''m using validates_format_of and the validation I want to do works, but I can''t get an error message to be displayed if the data is invalid: validates_format_of :mobile, :with => /\A[\+0-9]+\Z/, :message => " - Wrong" I have another validation some where else that does display the error message: " - Name is too long" validates_length_of :name,

I need a validates_format_of that disallow dots. In the api there is nothing to find about how validates_format_of exatly works. Is there a better documentation or is there something that can tell me howto disallow dots. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Does anyone have a good working e-mail validator? or even some regexp to make the validates_format_of work right... that would be awesome. Also, maybe an online tutorial for regexp. i''ve always been afraid of it but i think it''s time to face the fears. thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
