similar to: Adding a column to a table

I''m looking for a good web-based to do list app. Essentially, I''d like to use Basecamp''s todo management system, but that''s not an option since I can''t install Basecamp on a server I own. The information being tracked in the list cannot be sent out of my intranet. I would imagine that there are a couple of open source rails apps that would meet my

For a while i''ve been storing image in my PHP apps in the filesystem, but with the potential for a Rails project coming up i thought it was time for a review :0) In everyone''s experience, is it best to store uploaded images in the db or just stick them on the filesystem with a reference in the db? I''ve seen various performance tests and security arguments for and

I have these tables set up like this: listings has_many :states <field>state_id [int] <other fields.... .............. .............> states belongs_to: listings <field>name <other fields.. ............... .................> In my view I have <%= listing.name %> have also tried listing.state_id.name , that didn''t seem to do the magic either. This

Just a quick silly question , are form_helpers actually helper.rb files ? Stuart

Hi, I have four controllers: one for the store front and three for the store admin. In each controller I have copied and pasted exactly the same code. It is a method called redirect_to() to override Action Controller''s redirect_to(). Copy and paste is bad. I can think of two options but I don''t know how Rails will feel about them. Option 1: Can I create an intermediate

Hi, I have a few simple rails questions: Does the check_box_tag map to an int or to a boolean field within the database?

This is a bit of a nuby question methinks but i''ve had a play/search around and it''s just bugging me now :0) Say I have a conditional statement, testing a variable against a number of values. The first way i did this is like so: if myvar != "" and myvar != 0 and myvar != nil # .. code end This seems a bit messy - is there neater way of doing this? I thought of:

trying like mad to get this to work. cap setup works fine, sets up the dir structure on dreamhost (tho setup doesnt create the "current" symlink). on deploy, i get: * executing "rm -rf /home/USERNAME/dwightnight.org/releases/20060722060159/log /home/USERNAME/dwightnight.org/releases/20060722060159/public/system &&\n ln -nfs /home/USERNAME/dwightnight.org/shared/log

Hi I get to about page 103 of the book and get an application error. Further investigation reveals the following error in the dev log: Mysql::Error: #42S22Unknown column ''id'' in ''where clause'': UPDATE sessions SET `data` =

Greetings! Is there some special syntax required to use the match operator (=~) in a find operation? Or is it not possible? I''ve got some data items from an external source that could be capitalized or not. So right now I''m stuck with doing: Item.find(:first, :conditions => ["name = ? or name =?", Potatoes, potatoes]) I''d prefer to do:

I remember reading somewhere a tip on improving your search engine ranking, by forming URLs that included relevant text, e.g. www.domain.com/article/man_eats_hat. In the rails app that I''m writing, I''ve noticed I can set this up very easily by appending the post title (after downcase.split.join(''_'')) to the post link. So, blog.com/posts/4 can easily also be

Hello, I did a fresh install of ruby182 and gem rails --include-dependencies Now when I do: rails receipts cd receipts ruby script\generate scaffold receipt receipt rails does not create the views or controller. What can I do? Thanks Frank

Hi: Sorry if this is a painfully stupid question... I have some data I need through the life of someone''s session. In the application controller, I grab the data and store it like so: session[:foo] = @foo Now, whenever I need to access data about foo I don''t need to cause any DB io, I can just grab foo from the session (it''s very small fyi). Here''s what I

i''ve got an issue with integer columns in the database becoming strings in the model and I''m not sure why this is happening. perhaps someone can explain. given the following setup (simplified for example) tables: users ---------- id - int name - varchar(60) roles ---------- id - int name - varchar(60) roles_users (join table) ---------- role_id - int user_id - int

Hi, So, how can the situation described in the subject come to be? In other words, what could be invalidating the model, yet not generating an error? thanks, jh ps. here''s the breakpoint session paste: irb(#<#<Class:0xb72eec00>:0xb72eeb10>):003:0> @project.errors.empty? => true irb(#<#<Class:0xb72eec00>:0xb72eeb10>):004:0> @project.valid? => false

Some blog sites and others (ticketmaster, for example) require you to read a graphical representation of a word or number to prevent a form from being submitted programmatically. I''d like to do something similar on a new site I''m building. Two quick questions: 1. Is there a standard term for these graphical representations? i.e. how would I do a google search for this

Hello, Can someone kindly tell what the heck creating a relationship does in active record? I understand the idea of joining the tables and such. But how do I use it? Is it available in a scaffold? How about when I want to view a record and want to see all the joined data from the other table? Do I have to manually code the data I want from the other table? Does this automatically make the

Hi all - I''d like to implement a lookup table in my app that contains some reference data, just some status codes and their descriptions. What''s the most appropriate approach according to the "rails way" of doing things? Would I just implement a has_many relationship? Let''s say these are Order status codes, would the StatusCode have many Orders? This

Hi All, I''ve been working on a client project where by the client can manage the some fields/values available in a model. Here''s a quick writeup: http://stephenbartholomew.wordpress.com/2006/06/28/dynamic-records/ The idea is very much in development, but i thought i''d like to put it out for feedback. The writeup is also pretty rushed so please excuse :0) Cheers!
