similar to: MVC Design

Hello, I''m a total newbie, so please forgive my ignorance. I am trying to port an application from java to ruby. In order to do that, I need to put the object containing all the business logic into something like application scope. The nicest solution would be just to have an application wide hash, where I can put all kinds in of objects. Where and how would I instantiate such an

Hi all, A newbie with Ruby on Rails - and programming in general - I''m working on a few Flash and PHP projects as well. Partly to make my work more efficient, partly to gain a better understanding of system architecture / design patterns, I''ve been trying to use the MVC pattern in database-backed Flash / Actionscript development as well. I think / hope that I''m

Just wondering how to best integrate with pagination and still stick to MVC... Say I have a Post model that has a published attribute. I want to show all the recent published posts on a page. My first instinct is to create a method in the Post model called recent that does the find with proper conditions and order, but the problem I have is how do I use that with pagination (which definitely

Should I create a separate controller for each model or should I use 1 controller for all models? Having 1 "admin" controller for all backend stuff seems logic to me, but when I scaffold it rather makes 1 controller per model. I''m fairly new to the MVC pattern, so what''s the prefered way of doing it? I''m also wondering if the API is up to date? When

Ok, Here''s my controller: def create trainingplan = Trainingplan.createplan(@params[:startdate], @params[:enddate], @params[:hoursperweek], @params[:programtype]) end My model is: class Trainingplan <ActiveRecord::Base def self.createplan(stardate, enddate, hoursperweek, programtype) stardate = startdate enddate = enddate hoursperweek = hoursperweek programtype

Hi, I want to creat a GUI accessible via the web with ruby to interface some matlab implementation ... so I extended Ruby with C++ and then matlab :) that works perfectly: I have finaly a Ruby class I can call whenever I want to lunch my matlab algorithm ;) the point is now I have to make the GUI in HTML with Rubby on rails and Damn! I don''t get how works the MVC architecture in Ruby

I was thinking today, it would be nice if a view could tell a model how to format it''s data for that particular view. Kind of like, the view is bestowing instant, and temporary knowledge on the model for the duration of the views run. It seemed to me that this would be more objecty than say a helper that formats a string format_my_string( my_string ) Instead, in my view. Lets assume I

I am curious what you find is good and bad MVC design. Let''s use the find and find_by_sql methods as examples. Currently I have these spread out all over the place... View: here I have some find methods when I am for example populating a select list with choices in a form. Controller: here I have the simpler find methods. Model: here I have the more complicated find methods (usually

1st: I am a newbie to Rails & to pure OO. Q: I want to use rails for creating a "master-detail" form. page layout will allow users to type in an "expense report header" and as many "expense report lines" as they need to. I understand how to wrap the final submit action using "transaction" to ensure the inserts to the database happen within the same

is a model similiar to a class? and active record is similiar to how Java classes inherit from Object? View is nothing more than an output of a model with HTML? Controller is basically the Main part of the program? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

im thinking about extracting this into a plugin, but it currently relies a couple gems and another rails plugin. is there a dependency management feature with ./script/plugin? i never could get it to check anything out of SVN let alone install dependent stuff... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m new to mocha and stubba but eager to learn. I have a rails functional test in which I would like to stub an instance method of particular class to always return true. I tried the following: def test_post_checkout Order.any_instance.stubs(:successful?).returns(true) post :checkout assert_response :redirect assert_equal "Checkout was successful.",

Anyone know how to how to test pretty urls (set through routes.rb)? I want to don''t use get :action, because the routing changes how a certain action is requested.

Hi, I am a newby in rails...and i have read that scruffy is a great tool to create/display images.

A lot has been made recently about the need to freeze your gems for production deployment on a shared server so your application can depend on it''s own gem version instead of being subjected to whatever gem is installed on the server, but does this rule of thumb come with an exception? Architecture dependent gems such as RMagick, Ferret and Unicode have dependencies that cannot be

All, Is it possible for a view to call back to a controller method? If so, what is the syntax? === details I have a list view that I want to filter out inactive rows based on several table fields being zero, old, etc. It would seem I should create a "filtered" method in the controller (which I have done). Then invoke if from the view like: for row in @rows continue if row.filtered
