similar to: Best Practices question regarding views & controllers

Hi List, it appears that for the third or fourth time now, I''ve asked a question that nobody seems to respond to. Other questions (often things that could quite easily have been extracted by searching with Google or from api.rubyonrails.org) are answered almost momentarily. I''ve to admit I''m more than a little frustrated by this, so have to ask myself if it was my own

Hi List! Following http://rcss.rubyforge.org/files/README.html, I''m trying to get RCSS to work with Rails. The rcss command itself works fine, but when trying to access http://localhost:3000/rcss/test.css I always get "Unknown action - No action responded to test.css", which I don''t understand since the route and controller are in place. Anyway, hopefully this is

Hi all! Playing around with in_place_editor_field, I found that when you set a field to be empty, you can''t edit it at all anymore after that. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it is intended to be? If so, is there any way around that behaviour? Is it just styling? Best regards, Raphael -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Do most others in the community agree with this statement? It seems to me that i18n is: 1. Actually important to many people 2. Not really the difficult to implement in concept 3. Something that people like to point out about Rails to say it''s not ready foir "Enterprise" It seems to be that a big part of Rails is encouraging people to do things the "Right Way",

Dave, on another topic, might I recommend that you and DHH publish an updated version of the Agile guide right away when 1.1 comes out? You could reuse much of your material and it would do a lot of good to help make sure there is still a good centralized source of reference for Rails. Without that book, there really is not a good one-stop source of information for people to learn how to use

Hi List, how would you modify routes.rb to get something like http://example.org/de/controller/action instead of http://example.org/controller/action/?lang=de ? (Using the Ruby-GetText method for internationalization, which allows you to specify the sites'' language in the lang param) I''d be grateful for any hints that you might have!

Hi all, running into a little problem here. I''ve a list of things with a "New thing" link beneath it. When you click that link, obviously, a new thing shall be created. Now, that works pretty fine for things that don''t have foreign keys, but for things that do it crashes, since there is not yet a thing.other_thing.name available. I suspect you can somewhere in

Hi All, I''ve finally got fed up of struggling with Windows and am on the verge of splashing out on a Macbook for Ruby/Rails development. I''ve seen DHH''s post about it on loudthinking but I wondered if anyone else has any more wisdom... Is it worth it over a powerbook? Any tips on good OSX apps for Rails dev (textmate, i know already)? Anything not working well on

Okay, this internationalization stuff with gettext is driving me nuts. "duplicate message definition" all over. Searching Google brings up lots of info that there may not be duplicate message ids, oh wonder. Nobody on IRC knows anything about it. One guy has had the problem, there''s a transcript on rails-weenie''s website, but no answer. PLEASE, HELP! -- Raphael

Hi, I just released a plugin to help debug views. The plugin makes it easy to add a button that will popup a new window that displays the following debug data; * Request Parameters * Session Variables * Flash Variables * Assigned Template Variables It was derived from code that traces back to Marten Veldthuis in Epilog. You can check out webpage and plugin via;

I am actually following the instructions/code snippets from "Agile Web Development with Rails" and got as far as page 73 where I did ruby script/generate controller Store index, then edited store_controller.rb to class StoreController < ApplicationController def index @products = Product.salable_items end end and product.rb to: def self.salable_items find(:all,

I would appreciate any and all input. The Agile book is not useful in this context. :o( As near as I can tell, it doesn''t work at all. I would expect that clicking on the [Next Question] button in the browser would fire the next_question method in the current controller. Instead, it (apparently) does nothing. The tag in question <%= submit_tag ''Next

Somewhere between 0.13.1 and the current SVN version the :overwrite_params option to url_for (and related methods) went missing. I can''t tell whether this was deliberate or by mistake, and I have no idea how to get the same functionality in some other way either. Michael -- Michael Schuerig Life is what happens

I see the new kernel available in the plus repository... is there some way to view what the differences are between that and the mainline kernel?

Dear R user Suppose I have the following list: > f <- rnorm(2) > s <- rnorm(3) > l <- list(f,s) > l [[1]] [1] 0.31784399 0.08575421 [[2]] [1] -0.6191679 0.7615479 -1.0087659 Can I stack the entries of this list in 1 vector with the first list entry followed by the second? The reference manual says that I can use the command /stack/, which can take as arguments

Dear R-Mastermind Within a while or a for-loop, is there a way that I can save to disk the results of the previous calculations at the end of each loop with filenames called "file01.Rdata", "file02.Rdata" etc? So far, I have tried to write the outcome of each loop in a 3 dimensional array and saved it just once after the loop. Or is there another way so that I can keep

In Depot, the demo application in the the Agile book, actions that modify the model such as add_to_cart redirect to another action that has a clear view role, like index, or show_cart, instead of generating the view themselves. This uses an HTTP redirect that goes to the client and returns. Is this an idiomatic way to design the flow in Rails? -- fxn

I am sitting with the Agile book on my desk and scratching my head at the discussion on aggregation - perhaps that isn''t what I need. I have a db called clients. fields include - first_name middle_initial last_name I want to combine them all into one name element in a list view. I can add/edit the fields separately but in the list view, I only want the one combo field. Is there a

Hey, I have been progressively learning more and more rails each day (from both a current project, reading the agile book, and this list). Does anybody think it would be beneficial to have kind of like a rails "Best Practices" page that lists some of the better ways of handling certain functions of rails (that are common in most apps) that are both more elegant, and efficient. For

Hi! Does anybody know a string function that would calculate how many characters two strings share? I.e. ("Hello World","Hello Peter") would be 7. Thanks. Laetitia
