similar to: iterating a partial with :collection

Hello, My main application layout, app/views/layout/application.rhtml looks like this: something render partial_1 something else render partial_2 something else render partial_3 The partials are not really doing anything, i use them to keep the layout modular (i.e . to have ~30 lines instead of 200). Now, the question is where to put _partial_1.rhtml, _partial_2.rhtml, _partial_3.rhtml. If i am

Hi there, I am a newbie and interested in learning Ruby on Rails. I see there are 2 books out there: Ruby for Rails Ruby techniques for Rails developers David A. Black and Agile Web Development with Rails : A Pragmatic Guide (Pragmatic Programmers) Dave Thomas, David Heinemeier Hansson, Andreas Schwarz, and Thomas Fuchs Which one should I get? "Agile Web Development with Rails"

Either - Ruby on Rails: Up and Running or Rails Cookbook I''ve heard so many negative things about Safari pdf''s and the whole program I''d like to get some feedback. I have AWDWR(2nd edition), RubyforRails(Manning), Programming Ruby(2nd edition), so I''m not even sure I actually need another book but maybe the approach or content is somewhat uniuqe. TIA Stuart

I have a login page that redirects to itself if the login is incorrect. The browser does: get login post login, with wrong username and password redirect back to login When the post action redirects back to login it sets a flash telling the user it failed. So far so good. The problem is that if I get another page after that, the flash is still there. It only disapears on the second.

Just a quick silly question , are form_helpers actually helper.rb files ? Stuart

Hi, I''m trying to follow the "AWDR" example of storing certain types of numbers (in my case, percentages not money) as integers in the database. I understand from the Depot application how to format the output to have 2 places (or n places for that matter) decimal. Now, I"m wondering about the input. It''s more natural for people to enter numbers as

Folks: I''ve uplaoded the B1.05 version of AWDwR. It fixes a number of reported errata (and a few that weren''t reported :), and adds two significant changes: 1. It now uses the new Active Record decimal -> BigDecimal conversion. I''ve personally been waiting for this for a long time, and I''m really happy it''s now part of core. However,

I have a table of employees with the fields "last_name" and "first_name". I would like to populate a collection select so that what the user sees in the drop-down is "Last Name, First Name". So far, the only way I have figured out to do this is by using "find_by_sql" in my model, like so: @employees.find_by_sql("SELECT id, concat(last_name,

I have just some vague and thus probably wrong ideas about when to use model() in controllers, and by now I err on being redundant. I don''t post them here to avoid leaving anything that may be false in the archives. Can anyone explain exactly in which cases one should use model()? -- fxn

Hi I am trying to get my head around how you would "efficiently" do a left-hand navigation menu structure derived from various database table entries. Example is loosely based on AWDwR''s depot app. Say you wanted to instead to have the left-hand nav links show the following: Books book title 1 book title 2 ... CDs CD title 1 CD title 2 ... with

Is it possible? It is mentioned in AWDWR but I cannot find that option in the MySQL documentation. I can dump the whole db or just the structure, but I''d like to be able to dump just the contents. bruce

I''m getting to the point now where I really need to start trapping the errors. So from my AWDWR book, I added the following directly from the book into application.rb... def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render(:file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html",

I''m a real Newb; just bought AWDwR and using it with Win2000 - it took me ages, and only after reading Curt Hibbs Rolling with Ruby, to realise that I needed to use Cmd.exe before using AWDwR''s dave> instructions. I''ve created Say/hello.html and I still get "Template is missing" with http://localhost:3000/say/hello I''ve read

When developing applications, Webrick will automatically reload controllers, models, etc. if the source changes. For obvious reasons, it doesn''t do this for plugins, which makes it a pain to develop said plugins. I was hoping Mongrel might have some facility to say "watch this directory too and reload any changes". Obviously, re-init''ing all plugins would be

I copied (and modified) this code from AWDWR: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render :template=>''/error'', :layout=>''application'', :status=>''404 Not Found'' else render :template=>''/error'',

Hello, I have set up that uses single table inheritance. I have a number of model subclasses following the example in AWDWR that uses Manager < Employee < Person. First question. Do I need to create controller classes for each? I don''t think I do because a single controller should be able to shunt the data between the models and the views. Second question. Say I have a view

Hi, So I''m using @post_pages, @posts = paginate :posts, :per_page => 10 to paginate. But I have rails 2.0.2 on my VPS. Now this version of paginate throws an error.

Hi I''m working on the AWDWR book and I''m on the admin section of the book. I have rails 2 installed on my machine and I have ran into an error when I created my controller login but when I go to http://localhost:3000/login/index I get this error: No route matches "/login/index" with {:method=>:get} I haven''t touched the routes.rb file and when I generated

I have finally decided to look into testing and I am going through the examples in the AWDWR book and I tried the following and it does not work... even though I don''t see why it shouldn''t. =========== posts.yml =========== basic_post: id: 1 title: Title body: Body created_at: 2006-02-01 00:00:00 updated_at: 2006_02-02 00:00:00
