Hi I am trying to create a plug-in to fix the error in the rails core produced by the multiple delete on a HABTM relationship. I have confirmed that my plug-in is being included into the base during runtime however the code does not seem to be overridding the base class. module ActiveRecord module Associations module ClassMethods def has_and_belongs_to_many(association_id, options =

I run my suite of tests, one test fails. I run that one test file, no tests fail. Something is carrying over between files and I can''t figure out what. I tracked down the problem to the very line it''s occurring on, with printouts before and after every call to make sure I know exactly what is being reached. In this spec I have 0 fixtures/mocks/stubs. The objects in this

For a project that I am working on I need to have a family tree. This means that instead of having one parent each item has at most two. As far as I know acts_as_tree only allows one parent_id.

Hi All, I am making a DAM (seems to be the hip thing to do these days). It is for the company that I work for. We have some really weird domain rules that have prevented me from just using a simple directory structure file permission system. I have come up with a solution but I wanted to run it by you gurus to ensure that I am not recompiling the wheel here. Basically the domain rule is: A user

Hi there, I''ve added an extra bunch of testing features for doing in-browser testing with Selenium, and am having quite a time figuring out how to use url_for with having a controller object present. I''ve tried using ActionController::Base.url_for and ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper.url_for but haven''t been able to get something that works. What I want to be able

Is there such a thing that I could use to store sessions in the DB instead of in a cookie so that I can ensure users will be able to access their session data even across several load balancers? We use totally stateless machines here at work and I am worried about deploying a rails app in production that uses a volitile session stored on the machine. Any help is great! Happy Holidays, Mark --

Hey.. So I have a model that has a lot of number fields. Each of these go through a process when read in and read out to add/remove commas (between every three numbers) to make them more readable. The getter I currently have is like this: def sale_price Listing.insert_commas(read_attribte (:sale_price)) end and the setter is: def sale_price=(price) write_attribute(:saleprice,

Am i a total idiot to try and parse out a rails object for javascript in this way? <% for i in interface_items[0].attributes %> var <%= i[0] %> = "<%=h( i[1] )%>" <% end %> Am I missing something really obvious?

But where can I find the validator''s .rb files, so I can change them?

I am building a relatively trivial application to try to learn my way around Rails. I am having difficulty understanding how to navigate a heavily denormalized hierarchy. Could someone direct me to a bare-bones explanation of using rails to navigate database hierarchies? I am an experienced developer.
