My code executes fully: <% for column in ModelName.content_columns %> <th><%= column.human_name %></th> <% end %> but it does not pick up any columns in my model''s table that end in "_id". Is this by design? Is there a helper method that will reference the related tables? Or will I need to code the column titles and detail records by

Hey All, very simple question for you folks ;) I have a @commutes object that for each record there is a bit value set (0/1) to denote if an accident occurred. What I want to do is have it display "Yes" or "No" when I view the listing of commutes. I can get it to display the bit value just fine with <%= commute.accident %> but how can I get it so that when a record with

Greetings: I am writing a basic accounting module for an app. Rather unfortunately the name "transactions" is a reserved term in Rails (being the only accounting term trully representational of a financial transaction). I am left to come up with other names. One such name was f_transaction. This worked on the DB level, but I noticed that the Model name dropped the underscore, thus

Hi all, I''m running into this frustrating issue with the acts_as_authenticated plugin and one of the additional fields I added to the users table. I have added a column ''account_type'' to the users table (among several others) which denotes the type of account it is. This stores an integer value that is set by the system during account creation. The value is getting set

I''ve gone once through the Agile book and am now attempting my own rails app. I''ve created a table named ''volunteers'' with over 15 columns. The problem is the default list.rhtml that is created with the scaffold, shows all the columns. I only want to show 4 of them with the list view. Where would I start to only return a handfull of columns to the

Hey all, I''ve run into an interesting scenario that I think some of you might have some suggestions on. I am currently working on a RoR project and we are making full use of the migrations. We are also using a subversion repository for our source control. Now, the problem.... We are both making migrations and checking them into SVN. So, if in our checkout we have migrations up to 10 and

Is it possible to display the SVN revision number in a view? I''d like for this to be done automatically and not something that I''d have to update each time the revision is updated. I know that it is kept in a .svn file or something, but I am curious if anybody out there has done something similar in the past. Thanks, Ryan -- Ryan Prins rprins@gmail.com http://www.lazyi.net

Hi: Sorry if this is a painfully stupid question... I have some data I need through the life of someone''s session. In the application controller, I grab the data and store it like so: session[:foo] = @foo Now, whenever I need to access data about foo I don''t need to cause any DB io, I can just grab foo from the session (it''s very small fyi). Here''s what I

Hi all, I''ve been searching the web and the list archives for help on this and I''ve found some tips, but I''ve been racking my brain on this for hours. I have a Model, View, and Controller that are handling the uploading of a file to my server. I want to make sure that the description is set and that a file is selected to be uploaded.

I''m studying the Agile Development with Rails book. In the chapter that first sets up the depot application (page 68), there is this bit of code from a view: <% for product in @products %> <tr> <% for column in Product.content_columns %> <td><%=h product.send(column.name) %></td> <% end %> etc... I am trying to absorb both Ruby and

Hi guru''s out there, Im happilly coding my first rails app, and all goes well. I find myself manually coding in a particular field all the time (company_id), that relates the contact to a company.

Hi, I''m a newcomer to Ruby and to Rails, and am having a problem with character encoding. Now, I know ruby doesn''t handle unicode...but, characters like ? (eacute) and ? (ccedil) are part of the iso-8859-1 charset, so it shouldn''t be a problem, right? But, for some reason, the string functions still seem to hang on those characters. As an example, in a brand new rails

I''m trying to implement a show/hide details function. I have the show part done, but I''m not sure how to get it to hide.

In a standard scaffold generator, the list.rhtml looks something like this ... <% for column in Book.content_columns %> <th><%= column.human_name %></th> <% end %> How can I modify this code so for each table column add my own name not the "human_name" generated code? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve been using the check_box_tag to generate checkboxes for an application I am working on and I''ve run into a little hiccup. When I set the options for the checkbox to be { :disabled => "disabled" } the checkbox becomes disabled, as I would expect. However, if I set the checked value to true and keep the disabled option, the value for the checkbox is not returned.

Hi All! I have a small problem with a data conversion that I am doing from WordPress to a custom app that I am building in rails.
