Hey Folks, I''ve written a script to generate a list of all files on a machine, then zip the results. ?I''m going to stick a web front end on it, and use it to audit some file servers. The problem is that the ZIP compression/decompression isn''t working, but its not what you might think. ?The script completes, but seems to not actually write anything. Here is a short

Hey Folks, My app compares the last known set of files located on a series of servers against a current snapshot for auditing purposes. Its working really well, and I''ll open source it when its complete! Here''s my current issue (and forgive me, I started life as a DBA and I constantly want to revert to connection.execute.) The tables to store my objects are

I have a form. Everything submits into the database if I don''t have any validation rules. When I put these rules: validates_uniqueness_of :title, :message => "already exists in database" validates_presence_of :title I get this error (which seems weird because I am not validating against that): You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You

I have this in my controller... @tech_standards = TechStandard.find_by_sql("SELECT * FROM tech_standards WHERE subpoint <> 0") Everything is fine except when I look at my view I still get supoints that are 0. When I run this query in my query browser I don''t. View: <select name="resource[tech_standard]" id="tech_standard">

I have this: <%= @tech_standard.category + " " + @tech_standard.point + "." + @tech_standard.subpoint %> I get this error: cannot convert Fixnum into String point and subpoint are number. How do I concatenate those values? Seth Buntin Web Resources Coordinator Kentucky Academy of Technology Education Murray State University --------------

I have everything working and I am really excited about learning Ruby and Rails. But whenever I access my different defs in my controller it takes ~ 5 seconds before they are returned. I am working locally so I don''t know what the issue is. System Details: Windows XP Apache 2.0.55 Ruby 1.8.2 Rails 1.0 Seth Buntin Web Resources Coordinator Kentucky Academy of Technology

I am getting this error. ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in Resources#create Focus expected, got String I have a select menu named resource[focus]. My focus (belongs_to :resources) table has a one-to-many relationship with the resources (has_one :focus) table (A resource will have only one focus but one focus will have many resources). I assume this error means that the focus is

I am using the ACL System that is described on the Rails wiki and I have a quick question. I want to set the "role" as a session variable so that I can display certain navigation schemes and I was doing it like this: @session[:user][:role] = @user.roles When I print out this variable I get: #<Role:0x3262d80> How can I turn this into a readable value? I tried .to_i

This code: <p> <label for="resource_type">Type</label><br/> <%= select(:resource, :type, %w{ Web Data }, { :include_blank => true }) %> </p> Produces this error: TypeError in Resources#new Showing app/views/resources/_form.rhtml where line #6 raised: wrong argument type String (expected Module) Extracted source (around line

I am having issues with a many-to-many table. The table relates resources to standards, but in my resources table has one-to-many relationships so those also appear in my many-to-many table. I am trying to insert into the table via: @resource.core_contents << CoreContent.find(params[:core_content_ids]) But I get this error: Mysql::Error: Duplicate entry

Would I use a helper for this situation? I have a layout that is used over two controllers (admin and login). Each controller has their own navigation. Can I do something like this? <%= getNavigation("admin") %> or <%= getNavigation("login") %> And return the navigation list depending on the string sent? Seth Buntin -------------- next part

What would be the best way to do this? I have a list and I want one item to be underlined (depending on the action that I am on). Do I?: Have a bunch of if statements: if :controller => ''admin'', :action => ''list'' <li id="current">Pages</li> else <li>Pages</li> end What do you think? Is there a

Is there a trick to validating select menus? I have this rule: validates_presence_of :title, :type :title is a text box and validates correctly but :type doesn''t: <p> <label for="resource_type">Type</label><br/> <select name="resource[type]" id="resource_type"> <option value=""

So what is "best practice" using scaffolding and then manipulating it to work for you or starting from scratch? Thanks. Seth -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060213/0f16d567/attachment.html

Hi, Just thought it was weird that Ruby doesn''t automatically cast ints to floats. Seems so un-rubyish irb(main):006:0> 12/16 => 0 irb(main):007:0> 12.to_f / 16.to_f => 0.75 Jeroen

Hi, Is there an easy way of querying an active record for a maximum column value? I need to do queries like: SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees TIA, Jeroen

To Whom It May Concern: I have an ActiveRecord-based application (non-Rails). Life was grand until I upgraded ActiveRecord yesterday, after which point I was getting TONNES of these errors from my app and in PostgreSQL''s logs: FATAL: terminating connection due to administrator command According to Google searching, this happens when an external process sends PostgreSQL SIGINT or

Is there a way to access (from JavaScript preferably) the form array of the information sent when errors are display? I want to be able to find out what values were selected on the form before errors.

Hi, Some controller filters: before_filter :require_logged_in, :only => [:create, :new, :confirm] before_filter :init_players, :only => [:create, :new, :confirm] The first one, you guessed it, redirects a user if he''s not logged in. Now when I hit this page and I''m not logged in, the 2nd filter gets executed and throws an error, because it depends on the user

I ran the gem installer and it seemed to work, but i believe i''m still using an older version. How can i tell what version I''m really using?
