similar to: sort-weirdness - active record issue?

Hi all: Below is s a dump from script/console in development env. Am I not supposed to be able to find the record later and use the state machine functionality, or have I missed something? Thanks Forrest ---------------------------- >> ts2 = TalkSession.create( :person_id => 2, :pattern_id => 2) => #<TalkSession:0x35811f0 @attributes={"pattern_id"=>2,

I got it to work by changing scheduled_end_date= nil to self.scheduled_end_date= nil. I believe these statements should be equivilent. I don''t know Ruby/Rails well enough to know when, if or why that should matter. Can someone educate me please? I want to believe this framework is ready for production work, but silently dropping data is a very big problem. I expect that I''ve

PLEASE help me - this is making me insane. Can anyone suggest any reasons for this behavior? It occured previously, then went away and is now back. In Task.rb (where task is an active record subclass) def clear_schedule puts "clearing schedule for task" scheduled_end_date= nil #reset the scheduled end date save halt.

I discovered an interesting aspect of has_many behavior that I''m struggling to work around. I''m not sure if I''m doing something wrong, or if it''s a legitimate bug, or if it''s an inherent part of Rails that I just have to learn to deal with. It boils down to these two problems: - changes in collection objects (i.e. models that belong_to a container

Hi All: I develop on several machines, most have Mysql 4.* and one has Mysql 5.0. On 4.*, the following erb for a fixture works fine: updated_at: <%= 1.days.ago.to_s:db%> But fails on 5.0. I had a similar deal when I had date fixtures, and switched forrmats so that both 4.* and 5.0 were happy. is there to_s:db_works_for_mysql_50() ? or similar? Thanks Forrest

Hello. I have a program that accesses a metadata (translation) table for column names as well as the ordering of columns for a specific model. Also in there is a collection of bool options such as column_visible_on_form, column_visible_on_screen_quicklist etc. The idea is that our customer can specify to a certain extent how their layout/user interface will appear. To accomplish this, I use

I''m a ruby newbie and have what is probably a relatively simple problem I''m trying to solve. Say that I created a hash: TASKS = { "homework" => "Do Your Homework", "chores" => "Your Have Chores", "exercise" => "Don''t Forget to Exercise" } and then I had an Assignment model with: def

I have a matrix, I would like to use it like I use where query on an SQL table Let's say my matrix is > wok who task 1 joe task1 2 joe task2 3 joe task3 4 jack task1 5 jack task2 I want to extract a matrix that contains only rows where who = "joe" and task != "task2" The result would be the following matrix 1 joe task1 2 joe task3 How can I do

I''ve searched and searched and searched again, and I cannot find any help with this problem. There''s an identical problem on this forum, but it was never resolved. I''ll try to re-open the subject with a bit more information. Problem: The form_remote_tag() method in my "list" view is not passing the params[] hash of the values stored within my form.

Guys, I searched this forum and found plenty of people having this problem, but I didn''t see any definitive solution. Usings Rails 1.0. When I edit an existing record, I can''t get the basic "select" helper to display the current value contained in the field of the record. All of my other (text) fields populate correctly with current field values. There appears

The loop is correct, you just need to make sure that your result is computed and stored as the n-th element that is returned by the loop. Pick up any manual of R, and looping will be explained there. Also, I would recommend that you draw a random number for every iteration of the loop. Defining the random vectors outside the loop make sense to me only if they are the same length as n.

I'd like to control my namespace thoroughly, separated by task. Is there a way, in R session, to introduce namespaces for tasks dynamically and switch them as needed? Or, is there a combination of load/save workspace steps which can facilitate this? Cheers, Alexy

I want to find the last record for each person_id in a data frame (from a SQL database) ordered by date. Is there a better way than this for loop? for (i in 2:length(history[,1])) { if (history[i, "person_id"] == history[i - 1, "person_id"]) history[i, "order"] = history[i - 1, "order"] + 1 # same person else history[i,

Hi! I got a class named EinsatzFilter which I serialized to session. Before saving to session it works afterwards I keep getting the message: "undefined method `to_s'' for #<Person:0x38c6ab8>". "Person" is a from ActiveRecord::Base inherited class. Code: class EinsatzFilter include ApplicationHelper attr_reader :personen, :monat, :projekte, :kunde

I am sure some of you can give me an insight into this. This is more towards the database design for the scenario below: Say for example, I have a person table and this person can have different address types. One could be Home and the other could be say Office. Should be model this Table people id fname lname Table addresses id person_id addr1 addr2 .... or Table people id fname lname

I''ve been puzzling over how to test that attr_accessible has been set for the correct columns; but the tests I''ve come up with so far seem to fail to fail when I expect. I came across this old message from this list: http://www.mail-archive.com/rspec-users at rubyforge.org/msg01570.html Which seemed like a plausible example, but my attempt (modeled on the example)

I have a bunch of queries to compute some counters, like find_by_sql(<<-SQL SELECT p.*, c.nfavourites FROM people p, ( SELECT fp.person_id, COUNT(fp.user_id) as nfavourites FROM favourite_people fp, users u WHERE fp.user_id = u.id AND u.cluster = ''#{in_cluster_of_user.cluster}'' GROUP BY fp.person_id ) as c WHERE
