There are a number of good authentication frameworks for rails - has anyone developed a generic authorization framework? I''m thinking of something that included the concept of roles, mapped roles to both actions and users and could be used to wrap actions before their invocation. Extra good would be some way to check data permissions (as in, "yes you can perform the ''Edit

Is there a way for me to do: OrderItem.find(:all, :include => [:user, :product => [:supplier]] So I don''t have a supplier_id on my order_item, but have it on my product, which is part of order_item. Joerg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi. In this setup "account has_many :consultations". Can anyone explain the following behaviour to me? Rails 1.2.2. The "sum" method should return 0 for an empty array. >> a = Account.find(1) => #<Account:0x39c80a8 @attributes={...} >> a.consultations => [] >> a.consultations.sum(&:foo) ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)

There are areas of my application that "want" to use a url structure like domain/<human_readable_param>/<Module>/<Controller>/<Action>/<Id> Please note that the human readable parameter I need to inject is NOT related to the <id> being used by the action/controller pair. It''s identifying a container object whose contains are operated

I have a model where I have a tree of nodes in one table (acts_as_tree) where I also use a type column to get inheritance. In this table I also have a data_id column that refers to another row in another table (the subclass knows what table). I also have another class that have this line class Page < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :node, :foreign_key =>

So, I hear that with_scope is going to be deprecated. Which is a bit of a shame, given the stuff I''ve been writing recently. I have a CMS with multiple clients. A ''client'' is essentially a company, with multiple users. Content on the site belongs to a client - content could be messages, images, schedules, etc etc. People belonging to one client should not be able

I have Acts_As_Taggable Plugin working. I have a HR controller and a sales controller. I have a document in hr tagged whitepaper and a differnent document in sales tagged whitepaper when I am in hr I see the hr document tagged with whitepaper and not the sale document (what I want). but if I click on the tag whitepaper I return two documents, hr and sales. I just want to return the hr document

Hello. I''m working the "proper way" with creating the initial db schema via migrations and db/schema.rb. However, I have a bit of a special need, and need to know if anyone knows the solution to this; I need a sequence that is common to several tables - a "data id" that gives a sort of unique object number to every row in every table. Some associated tables (a

Hello, I am trying to insert data in a data.frame into a database table using the RMySQL package m <- dbDriver("MySQL") con <- dbConnect(m, host = "blah", user = "blah", password = "blah", dbname = "blah") proid <- dbGetQuery(con, "select max(processed_data_id)+1 from processed_data") spot <-

I have the following code: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :requests do def find_active(options = {}) with_scope :find => { :conditions => ["requests.active = ?", true] } do find(:all, options) end end end end Executing user.requests.find_active results in the following SQL: SELECT * FROM requests WHERE (( requests.user_id = 10 ) AND (

Hi all, In the recent Advanced Rails Recipes book, Ezra states that Rails needs a little bit of adjustment for its restful routing to work with Facebook. He suggests created an initializer named facebook_overrides.rb and adding this code: http://pastie.caboo.se/206696 But I was just testing restful routing without that code, and Rails seemed to be working fine with Facebook.

Hi All Just a few minutes back I came across a post about autotest/zentest and that post reignited the feeling I get when I look at RDoc, RoR documentation. The main thing that is lacking in RoR and to some extent Ruby''s RDoc is showing method names in HTML is not documentation. The arguments to method, exception/errors raised by method, return value and a usage example completes the

Hi, It seems that setting a with_scope on the parent class doesn''t do anything MyClass.with_scope(:find=>{:conditions=> ["somecol = ?", ''val'']}) do @ext_pages, @ext_rows = paginate :my_extended_class, { :per_page => 13 } end # this doesn''t generate WHERE somecol=''val'' In order for scope to work you have to call

If I do get :index response.should_be_success I get about 20k of marshalled dumpage that starts like #<ActionController::TestResponse:0x390443c @body=\"<html><body>You are being <a href=\"http://test.host/carts/1\">redirected</a>.</body></html>\", @assigns=[], @redirected_to={:action=>\"show\", :id=>1},

is there a way to always eagerly load an associated object so that you don''t have to put :include into every finder? class Product <ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user #always load user when product is loaded end Product.find(1).user.login #1 query since user was loaded with the product, same as if i used :include but I don''t want to have to specify it everywhere.

Hi all ! Is this supposed to work ? class Email < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :to, :class_name => 'Recipient', :conditions => "recipients.source = 'to'" do def create!(*args) with_scope(:create => {:source => 'to'}) do super end end def build(*args) with_scope(:create => {:source => 'to'}) do

If with_scope has been called previously, how do I access the find conditions dynamically? I am asking because I am using a find_by_sql call (which clobbers the with_scope). How can I access the method scoping so that I can read it and incorporate it into my query manually? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

How do I select a radio button when both id and name are identical?: <input type="radio" name="BILFPB.bilPremieUppgifterFI.under24" tabindex="13" value="J24" checked="checked" id="forare">Ja <input type="radio" name="BILFPB.bilPremieUppgifterFI.under24" tabindex="14" value="N24"

In a Rails controller I set the scope on a model class in an around filter. I have defined expectations on the model classes, and ideally, I would add a further expectation for the scope. Is this already possible in some way? How would I go about adding support a scope expectation? Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/

This applies to anyone using rspec''s trunk from >= 3220 with ZenTest <= 3.7.2. Anyone else, feel free to move on.... The next release of ZenTest, coming soon, includes some changes that improve the relationship between Autotest, it''s subclasses (like those in rspec) and .autotest, the file that you can use to plug into autotest''s hooks to extend/modify
