Guys, I have a relationship between model classes that I believe is best represented by inheritance, but the likelihood that things will change often is driving us to composition instead. So, I have a class called Autos, and subclasses called Suvs, Minis, Mids, Sports, for example. We have been requested to avoid the STI approach to this, because of fear of a quickly growing table with

Gents, I''m using the acts_as_taggable rails plugin (not gem), and would like to add some additional methods to it. For example, the find_tagged_with methods essentially does a find tag in a list (effectively an OR), while I''d like to implement a find_tagged_with_all method that would implement an AND (so if I specified 4 tags, it would only return items that were

Hello everyone, I just showed a friend a prototype of a site offering a service I''m trying to sell (sorry, not on the Internet yet - he saw it at my house). His comment: "Looks like it does everything, but also looks pretty ugly. You''re not going to wow anybody with that". Sitting back and thinking about it, he''s dead right - it needs some bling to make it

Hi everyone, I''m building an app in RoR that apart from the normal web interface has a web service. This web service takes a parameter and uses that in a single database query, and returns the result in a simple XML format. This web service needs to be quite fast as it will be used on all pages of a quite big site with thousands of visitors every hour. I don''t think caching is

Guys, I''m in the market for a reliable, trustworthy dedicated server solution. I''ve been running my own servers internally on a Speakeasy Static IP DSL connection, but recent problems with my local loop has caused me to reconsider this solution. completelydedicated.com offers a value Sempron for $59/monthly...a bit higher than I wish to go but I have no choice. Can

Gents, My heads been out of the sql game for too long (or it''s simply too early). I''m trying to extend the acts_as_taggable plugin (note: not gem) so that you can specify a list of tags you''re interested in, and the plugin will return only those items that are tagged with *all* these tags. The plugin uses primarily two tables: tags, to keep all the various tag

Guys, I''m frankly overwhelmed by the number of Rails authentication options(?) out there...from ActiveRBAC to acts_as_authenticated to LoginEngine and so on...so many options, yet on resource I''ve found really distinguishes between each. This is sad, as authentication and user management is really an area where some Rails simplicity pixie dust could be a real boon to

Hi I had asked for some help with the Asterisk Assistants http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+Assistants+for+MacOSX and many have offered assistance with translations which I am grateful for and like to say thank you again. However, there hasn't been a single response from a graphic designer to offer help with a custom icon. Are there any graphic designers on this list at

Guys, I understand the logic behind using image_tag in rhtml to maintain app portability, but how do you link to images in a stylesheet maintaining that same portability? Thanks for your help!

Hey all, I am curious about how Rails interacts with SCHEMAs in PostgreSQL. From the generate command, is it possible to setup a scaffold for a table not in the public. schema in PostgreSQL? As a test, I tried, ./script/generate scaffold Manage.Form Manage.Form No dice. Any suggestions? -Robby -- /*************************************** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON

Hey, all! I''m having a url problem that seems like I''m going to overcomplicate it if I don''t just ask what I''m doing wrong... My situation is that I''m testing to see if a visitor is accessing a controller via SSL, and if not, redirect to the same controller via my secure address. This really only amounts to replacing http with https, and so I did the

Any ideas how I would go about writing specs for views which make use of content_for? I''d like, for example, to be able to specify that ABC view places XYZ in the sidebar, which I do using content_for(:sidebar). Am I missing something obvious? Kyle

Hiall, If I have say 10 tables that i would like to wrap up in 1 view to manipulate data inside these tables, do I then need 10 model.rb files for all 10 tables plus 1 for the view, or do I just need 1 model.rb file for the view ? cheers Martin

I have many "edit" actions in my project. If the url is like http://localhost/project/3/edit and someone enters http://localhost/project/3333333/edit the edit action will fails because it cannot find a project with id of 3333333. To combat this I am adding to every action like edit: rescue redirect_to :action => ''index'' flash[''errors''] =

I have a weird problem with creating a new record when using PostgreSQL. From inside script/console ... >> entity = Entity.new >> entity.first_name = "Foo" >> entity.last_name = "bar" >> entity.save Throws an exception due to the following SQL error: duplicate key violates unique constraint. The application was working fine before and suddenly

Hi there I''m considering Rails for a new web-application planned to be built from scratch. The application has an extensive web front, and in fact most of the application is interfaced through that front and engaged through clients'' HTTP requests (i.e. the conventional way web-applications and "dynamic web-sites" work). However, some essential parts are supposed to

Hi all, I''ve been offered a short-term contract here in the North of England - around 3 months work, but with RoR I think it will take considerably less time - and am just curious what market rates were right now. I''ve been offered a little under ?1k/week which seems ''right'' for a PHP coder doing this kind of work, but should I be hitting for more, or is

Where is the best place to solicit bids on a mid-size web app? (budget ~$15,000) What is the appropriate protocol for posting RoR RFPs? Thanks! Taylor -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Can I get some opinions on which free DB to use with rails for a virtual server that will eventually be doing lots of heavy database lifting? Not a lot of heavy duty querying per se. Think multiple simultaneous forums and blog sites and the like. I know each of the different DB possibilities such as MySQL and PostgreSQL has plus points and minus points. I''m particularly interested
