similar to: where do i put an modified String class?

So I have this key information that I got by generating a private and public key in VB, but it gave it to me in the form of a modulus and exponent in an XML file. Now, I need to encrypt some stuff in ruby using that info. On this site: http://blog.internautdesign.com/2007/11/2/ruby-openssl-rsa-public-key-from-modulus-and-exponent/comments/165, they explain how to do that, but clearly this info is

Hello, I would like to add functionality to the String class....where do I do this? Do I create a new model (if so, what do I call it?) and put something like: class String def my_new_string_method blah blah end end Thanks for any pointers. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

A concrete example: We''re building a system to organize the information about workshops being held in various conventions. A convention has more than one workshop, and each workshop can be held in more than one convention. Also each workshop has a host, who is specific to a workshop being held in a specific convention. For example, Matz may host an "Introduction to Ruby"

For every path i need to make new function. So can you suggest me something. Tables are like here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/ForumExample -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have this code that is using svn externals with rails EDGE working fine for the past couple of months. A couple of days ago, this code died. Even after deleting vendor/rails, this code doesnt work: class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :taggings has_many :events, :through => :taggings has_many :users, :through => :taggings end class User < ActiveRecord::Base # Virtual

I just took my HABTM and turned it into a :through since my join table has another "non-joiny" attribute. I went from this: has_many_and_belongs_to :jobs, :join_table => ''tablename'', :foreign_key => ''x'', :association_foreign_key => ''y'' to this: has_many :jobs, :through =>

Hi, does anybody have any pointers on where to look to learn how to write custom dynamic templates? Agile is a little sparse on this (but otherwise superb)! Thanx -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have a self-referential has_many :through relationship setup to track relationships between users. Basically relationships are modeled as a join table with an extra column ''relation''. create table relationships ( user_id integer unsigned not null, friend_id integer unsigned not null, relation char(1) not null, ) --- relations --- f = friend r = request to

Hi, I''ve followed these directions : http://railswiki.pdxruby.org/HowToDefineYourOwnDateFormat.html It seems pretty straightforward but obviously it doesn''t work for me... article.date_edited.to_formatted_s(:my_format_1) produce a default formatted date, not the one I''ve defined in environment.rb : ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(

Ok, to keep things short. Im wondering if I need a secondary relationship table to handle my many-to-one relationships. Here is an example of what I''ve written down. For instance say I want to find all of the people in a given location. class Location < AR:Base has_many :people end class Person < AR:Base belongs_to :location end My SQL tables look like: CREATE TABLE

Hi, I have three Models: User, Group and File. User habtm groups and Group habtm Files How can I find all files that a particular user has access to? eg user.groups.files ? As user.groups returns an array, the above doesn''t work. Id like to find the files for all groups in that array, without adding any code to the User model. Thanks in advance PS I just posted this in the

In a partial that renders another partial, I would like to change the items I am rendering based on the content of a variable. So instead of having 5 partials which all have variations on this; <% for @skill in @cv.skills %> <%= render :partial => "skills" %> <% end %> If item = "skill" would like to do something to this effect; <% eval("for

If I have a class, Asset, which has and belongs to many associated Asset objects, how do I do this? has_and_belongs_to_many :associated_assets, :class => "Asset", :foreign_key => ?????, :association_foreign_key => ????? Right now, my table has a :first_asset_id and a :second_asset_id, but I don''t see how the objects themselves are supposed to distinguish one from the

Hi everybody! The class ActiveRecord::Base have a atribute named type and if my table have a column with the same name i get an error if i use model.finde, model.save and more... I dont know what i can do to solve this problem! Someone know? Thanks -- _________ Noel R. Morais

Hi, Four tables: users, user_counties, uk_counties and us_counties. Each user has many counties, and each county has many users, so I decided to make user_counties a polymorph, so it can have counties from different countries (each country requires a completely different set of tables with a completely different set of properties, that''s why there''s one table for uk_counties and

I''ve spent all day digging through the rails api and postgres-pr on this, I think it''s time to ask the list. Postgres stores a Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. My users want the dates in MM/DD/YYYY format. Sure, I could explicitly convert it on the app level every place where a date is displayed, but that seemed like a DRY violation. I thought I''d be clever and simply

Sort of a newbie question - sorry if it''s been asked before and I missed it in my search. I have an id_array of Author ids, and I want to retrieve the associated Author models as quickly as possible, but also preserve the ordering of the id_array. Using Author.find(id_array) returns the records, but not in the same order. Is there some flag I can pass to find() to preserve the order? I

Hi all - I am having some trouble figuring out how to model self-referential entities in Rails. I have a "group" model, which can have 0 or more "group" objects or 0 or more "user" objects. I tried creating a subgroup table that has a parent_group_id and a child_group_id as foreign keys but can''t figure out how to create the mapping in my ruby model

All, I''m building model objects for existing tables that I cannot modify. In AWDWR, Dave says "Note that our join table has no id column...The second reason for not including an id column in the join table is that AR automatically includes all columns from the join tables when accessing rows using it. If the join table included a column called id, its id would overwrite the id
