I''m working on a simple photo gallery app for personal use and I want to generalize the sidebar such that in any page (controller or view, I''m not sure which) I can dynamically add either 1. links to a given sidebar 2. or an entire sidebar. I know that typo does this, and I''ve looked the code. I think it''s too complex a solution for my simple site.

Hi All, I generate a pdf report that contains a table. The report is 14 pages, and it takes 20s to be rendered. Most of these 20s are spend in the render_on method.

I have a little web app where we need to paginate collections of items. I''m trying to sort the collection and then pass it, sorted, to a Paginator, and still be able to paginate through the collection, across several pages, with the new sort order. The only thing I''m doing differently from the regular scaffolding approach is this: @order_pages = Paginator.new(self,

Hi list, I Try to do a custom paginator, but the offset never increase ?? def showFriends @friends_pages = Paginator.new self, allFriends.size, 3, @params[''page''] limit= @friends_pages.items_per_page offset= @friends_pages.current.offset

i''ve figured out how to use the next and previous links with the paginator class but now i''m trying to figure out how to display all the page numbers in between. looking through the rails api, i found paginator.each() but i''m not sure how to use it, or if that''s even what i am looking for. also, is there a way to limit the amount of pages like some sites

Hi, I have @result_pages and @results obtained from paginate in an action. I want to show the pages as 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 > The fifth page will show: < 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 > and so on. How exactly do I render the paginator to give this effect? I guess I will have to use pagination_links_each. But being new to Rails, I need help.

Hi, I have a some image files that belongs to some users. Only the owner of an image should be able to see it. How can I do that? I don''t think I can use send_data, because I want the image to be displayed on a "rendered" page. I don''t think I can place the images in the public folder, because if some user can figure out the name of the image then he''ll be

Hello, How do I get params from a form to use with a paginator? debug(params) shows this city: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess id: "1" but in my controller, when I try to use @hotel_pages = Paginator.new self, Hotel.count(:conditions => "hotels.city_id = params[:city][:id]"), 3, @params[''page''] it doesn''t work. I suppose it''s a simple

Im working on a simple private Rails app, but I''m not much of a designer and I''m struggling to get a nice layout. So I was thinking of using this Theme Generator: http://www.mattmccray.com/archives/2005/10/26/full-theme-support-in-rails-revisited/ Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it working in the latest versions of Rails? (1.0) Is it worthwhile even for a

i''ve got several methods in my models i use to find based on certain criteria...i''ve done this so the controller code is less cluttered, plus the DRY factor. example: class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base def find_by_something(something) find :all, :joins => ..., :conditions => ... end def find_by_something_else(something_else) find :all, :joins => ...,

I have one table pets (id,name,owner_id) and another table people(id,name) owner_id being a foreign key of pet pointing to people name. here it is on the pet controller: @paginator, @pets= paginate(:pets, :conditions =>["name OR owner_id like

I''ve created a class method in my model called find_filtered. The intent is that I take various params that the user has submitted, and let the model build the query and return the AR collection, which is exactly what happens. However, now I''d like to paginate the recordset. Everything I''ve been able to find about pagination presumes that you have no pre-existing AR

I can find the API documentation, but where is the documentation for the standard generators. The wiki has 3rd party generators- but I want to know specifically what generate controller does, and how it differs from generate scaffold, and what other generators there are. Where is this succinctly documented? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The built-in Rails pagination is fairly limited...you pass in the model name, and optionally some conditions, and it generates a paginated query for you. This gets to be very bad if you''ve got any custom queries. class Company < ActiveRecord::Base def complete_videos Video.find :all, :conditions => "company_id=#{id} AND status=''complete''", :order
