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:*

I would like to add javascript ''onChange'' event handling for a select field, such as <%= collection_select("job", "client_id" , @clients, "id", "name") %> with onChange="xxx" Anyone know how to make this work? Thank you, Scott -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

Restricting size of an uploaded file, is how is that possible? If I do not want a user to upload a file larger than X bytes, can it easily be done? If I also would like restrict the types of files that can be uploaded, how may I do so? Thank you, Sharkie

So I''ve pretty much followed the steps in the video tutorial on RoR.com for creating a small app, to search for photos on flickr.com - all is good, and works as intended to.. How would I go about adding validation, so if no tags are specified it will fail. I know I have to use validates_presence_of :tags - but not in the controller.. so I tried to generate a model called

Hello I''ve been using Acts_as_Parnoid for a while and it has been working well but I am now having a slight issue with it. I have a company table were I would like to use validates_uniqueness_of :company_name. This validation works if a company exists in the database and has not been deleted. However, I also would like the validates_uniqueness_of to work if a company has

Does anybody use and prefer Redcloth (or bluecloth, which appears to be alpha)? Does it affect performance much? Is there a way to get it to automatically process templates without having to call textilize? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi! File_column plugin saves uploaded files to "public/model/image/model_id/filename", if i understand it correctly. Does it mean that it creates new folder for every image? I have product (model) that has_many images (model). Is it possible to use (or modify) this plugin that it would save my images to different folder, so the id of the model_id part would be id of the product

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

All, I''m attempting to use "form_tag_with_upload_progress" http://railsmanual.org/module/ActionView::Helpers::UploadProgressHelper/form_tag_with_upload_progress However, I''m having a hard time understanding what I''m supposed to provide and where in order to take advantage of it. There''s a lot of information and I''m sure I can figure it

How do I use... <%= link_to "All Facilities", :action => ''fac_log_all'' %> if I add :target => "_new" that is just a parameter and not a directive. I just want reports to print into a separate window. How do I do that? It''s not clear at all to me Craig

Is this the prefered method to implement RedCloth in your views. I''m trying to display user input that will sometimes have code references in it. This strips out all tags. I would like for the tags to be displayed but not read as html. Thanks in advance! <%= RedCloth.new(strip_tags(comment.comment),[:filter_html]).to_html %> charlie bowman recentrambles.com -- Posted via

How would I set up a model stub so that <%= error_messages_for ''some_model'' %> doesn''t complain? I started going down this road: @some_model.stub! (:errors).and_return(ActiveRecord::Errors.new) but it seems like a long, hopefully uneccessary road. Cheers, Michael

Does anyone have a sense for how painful the 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade is going to be for existing apps? I''m finishing up my first real RoR application with Rails 1.0. I can live with it staying at that level, but I really want to use the has_many :through attribute to clean up some of my code. I''m not particularly interested in edge Rails, mainly because the documentation for

I admit it, when it comes to rSpec, I''m lazy. I''ve made a few feeble attempts to use it, but for once I''m waiting for a book-length treatment. At least two books were announced, I think. Can anyone in the know please report on their progress? Thanks Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/

Sorry, but this is really NOT as easy as the tutorials/books make out. I''m really struggling at the first hurdle here. And while I''m not a programmer by design I do know my way around most stuff. And if I can''t get this to work I suspect more people will have the same issues. There seems to be too many variables to address. I have winXP, I have ruby and rails all

Please excuse a newbie question, but I couldn''t find anything by searching the archives. What I want to know is how to have multiple references to the same class/table within a class. For example, let''s say I have a table called People: create table people ( id serial8 primary key ,name); which just holds a list of the people in the database. Then I have another

im trying to deploy my app on our staging server and am running into an issue. we have a MySQL NDB cluster for the staging box. this basically means that the staging box should be able to use MySQL via localhost and it will automatically know it''s in a cluster. When running queries, it will go out to the real DB boxes instead of localhost to fetch the data. AFAIK, the clustering setup

Hi all, I have a problem in that when I plot points that have a high degree of precision, some significant rounding seems to occur, resulting in uneccessary overlap of my points. Is there a way to specify the resolution or precision in plotting functions? Is there an underlying grid I have to modify somehow?
