because I am a grasshopper... Now that I can sort my ''list''...is there a logical way of not repeating myself to having essentially the same list view with multiple sorts? i.e. def list_cl # ordered by clients last name @placement_pages, @placements = paginate( :placements, :include => [:client], :order_by =>

can''t seem to find the right syntax for this... /script/../config/../app/controllers/placements_controller.rb:155: syntax error :conditions => [["placements.client_id = ?", params[:client_id] ] and "placements.discharge_date IS NOT NULL" ], this part works... :conditions => ["placements.client_id = ?", params[:client_id] ] this is what I

I would swear that I am tracking exactly the method used in Agile book...

I have the text_field_with_auto_complete woking on my user DB using last_name. so looking for ''ivanoff'' works great, but I can''t find ''john''. Plus I like to have ''last_name, first_name'' show up in the dropdown. what I can''t figure out is how to concat first_name and last_name to make a name and use that to look it. working

I have a select list for a boolean column in postgresql in the ''model'' ... YES_NO = [ [ "Yes", "1" ], [ "No", "0" ] ].freeze in the ''view code'' ... <%= options = [[''Accepted?'', '''']] + Placement::YES_NO select("placement", "accepted",

placement.rb has_one :client has_one :case_manager client.rb belongs_to :case_manager has_many :placements case_manager.rb has_many :clients has_many :placements I am trying to create a view file for placements. I can pull columns from clients table in this view by using... <%= @placement.client.wholename %> but if I use <% @placement.case_manager.wholename %>

I simply can''t figure this out. I have been reading and re-reading Agile book and wiki.rubyonrails.org - all sorts of validation methods and still, it doesn''t work. Controller code def create @client = Client.new(params[:client]) if @client.save! flash[:notice] = ''Client was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action =>

I abandoned ruby way for find_by_sql and still can''t get this... @myplacement = Placement.find_by_sql( "select * from placement where :intake_date >= beg_intake_date and :intake_date <= end_intake_date") just a simple date range...it''s killing me - If I knew how to load placement controller into irb, I could probably try out finds interactive mode... Thanks

Obviously I am missing something and I don''t know what it is... I am following the instructions at http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/381/114/activeldap_rb.html and also here... http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoAuthenticateViaLdap my model looks exactly like this... class LdapUser < ActiveRecord::Base ldap_mapping :dnattr => ''uid'', :prefix

Hi, I''m just learning Ruby on Rails and ran into something where I know I''m either doing something very stupid or I''m missing something. My model as a boolean attribute called active_flag. In my Sql Server database this is stored as a bit value. I then setup a method in my controller called "deactivate". This is very simple, it does: def deactivate

This seems rather ugly. I am thinking that this needs to be in the model but I am looking to obtain the date for a tb test... >> @tb = Innoculation.find(:all, :conditions => ["personnel_id = 1 AND innoc_type = ''TB''"], :order => ''innoc_date DESC'') => [#<Innoculation:0xb77ed234 @attributes={"id"=>"1",

I think they are called tool tips... I have view code that looks like this... <%= link_to ''I'', :action => ''edit_innoculations'', :id => personnel %> Is there an option (I don''t see it in api) to have tool tips for a link_to ? Craig

I have an OpenLDAP backend, Samba knows how to talk to it, my Samba users are stored in LDAP and file shares work fine authenticating to the LDAP server. I tried executing smbldap-useradd -w server02 on the command-line and got the following error: failed to perform search; Can't contact LDAP server at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/smbldap_tools.pm line 362, <DATA> line 283.

I have some nice forms done using stylesheets. I currently have them displaying on screen and the user could simply just print. This works when there is only one form (facility) to be viewed/printed. I have created the looping code necessary to print for all facilities but that doesn''t work for me because each page uses stylesheets with <div> that do absolute positioning and thus

We have had a Samba LDAP-PDC-BDC system setup for close to 3 months with about 60 computers in the domain. Earlier we had a power outage and about 30 computers no longer were able to log into the domain or authenticate. Some were NT Workstations and some were W2k. But not all NT or W2K workstations were affected. If we went to network neighborhood we would see the error message "

I am in a holding pattern while client decides upon changes and so I am working some things out internally so it seems to me that indexing frequently searched table fields might be useful. I am using postgres and via postgres, I have added an index to one of my tables whose index is the same name as the column name. The ''find'' screen I am using this to judge populates a number
