Hello! I have certain methods in my Application Controller, that I need to access. Namely ApplicationController#logged_in_user The problem is, that when I try to access it, I get: NoMethodError: protected method `logged_in_user'' called for #<AdminController> Any ideas how I can circumvent that? Or are functional tests really not suited for any kind of logins and session work?

Does anyone how to create a validation that: validates_presence_of :a OR :b I.e. :a OR :b must be present. I thought this would probably be possible with some kind of validation callback, e.g.: def check_a_or_b_is_set return (a or b) end Any ideas?

I have an e-commerce site and users check out with a form. The results of that form are sent to a "confirm your order" page via POST. I take great pains to NEVER store the full credit card number on my server--just the last 4 digits. I was very surprised to find that by default Rails will record POST requests with parameters in the production.log. And those parameters

Hello Rails Community ~ Today I added tagging support to one of my Rails apps following this Wiki page: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/ActsAsTaggablePluginHowto/versions/32 It outlined adding the necessary database tables with a schema description in table format. I altered the article to use a migrations approach with the code from the migration I created to add the two tables,

I''ve decided to dive into page caching for my rails app. I''m doing my testing with webbrick and it refuses to display the cached page for a particular action. I''ve modified my paginator helper to put the page parameter in the url so that the paginated page can be used with caching. This works perfectly when the page parameter is in the url (ie browse/2006/2 or

I was previously doing an update via .rhtml templates creating an AJAX :evaluate_remote_response. I use UTF-8 in my pages, and my app requires that I be able to, say, put Japanese characters in. The problem is that when I switched this over to an RJS template it started eating the encoding. I now get garbage characters where before I got the correct ones. The code for the RHTML: <%=

I have an app that uploads files into the directory RAILS_ROOT/documents/ I tried to access the file for downloading using <a href="#{RAILS_ROOT}/documents/file_name">my file</a>.
