similar to: acts_as_ordered plugin

A quick note about acts_as_modified, acts_as_ordered and validates_date_time. If you are using any of those plugins you should update them. They''ve all had improvements/bug fixes. Also, acts_as_modified is now being maintained by both Chris Hall and myself. http://svn.viney.net.nz/things/rails/plugins/acts_as_ordered http://svn.viney.net.nz/things/rails/plugins/acts_as_modified

Hi, Quick question (which means that I think there should be an easy answer)... When I am in the "show" view, I''d like to add 2 links, one for previous and one for next record so that the user can go on to the next "result" without having to go back to the ''list'' of results. However, I can''t find my way about this problem :-S

Hi, I know about pagination but dont want to use that option if it all possible. How in a collection of posts can i check if the there is a next item in the collection and then add that an object. For instance: //Returns all the posts into a collection called posts @posts = Post.find(:all) //Returns a specific post based on an id @post = Post.find(params[:id]) //How can i return the next

Does ActiveRecord offer a simple solution to get previous/next records relative to a certain record? For instance, say I have this table: PEOPLE id | name 1 | john 2 | mary 3 | bob Using p = Person.find(2), is it possible to get the previous (john) and next (bob) records using perhaps something like p.previous and p.next? If not, how can I do this without resorting to ugly queries? Thanks in

Hello, Is there some built-in facility for fetching the Previous or Next record from a table? Assume the command find_by_name has been issued, and the variable @name contains the name "John Doe". I''m looking for something like find_next(@name) and find_previous(@name). What''s a good way to pursue if one has to roll their own methods? Thanks for the help, gk --

Hello! I just read DHH''s presentation pdf. In his examples, he wrote PeopleController instead of PersonController. I''ve been using singular words in controller''s name. Which is more common? Thanks. Sam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey all, I got annoyed recently that I couldn''t specifiy multiple chunks of test setup and teardown code that get executed for each test. You''re currently limited to just one setup method (unless I''m much mistaken). Anyway, I just wrapped up my solution in a plugin. The answer: use blocks! class Test::Unit::TestCase # This is overridden by the subclass and will

Hello all. I don''t suppose some enterprising soul with much more skill than me has whipped up a "validates_dateness_of" (Complete with leap year calculations) method for use with all the other validation methods and wishes to spread much much joy?

I am running an lme model with the main effects of four fixed variables (3 continuous and one categorical – see below) and one random variable. The data describe the densities of a mite species – awsm – in relation to four variables: adh31 (temperature related), apsm (another plant feeding mite) awpm (a predatory mite), and orien (sampling location within plant – north or south). I have read

Hey all, I''d like to abstract the process of updating different portions of the page after an Ajax request has taken place. Rather than simply putting the extra view logic in the standard rjs template, it seems to give better separation if there is a split between the core view logic (ie, inserting a row in a table), and updating any associated portions of the page. Is this possible? I

I''ve tried Time.parse() and DateTime.parse() but they interpret the date as US format. Is there any way to tell it to interpret as dd/mm/yyyy? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, For various reasons I need to have foreign keys with not null constraints. Eg: create_table :people do |t| t.column :name, :string t.column :household_id, :integer, :null => false end create_table :households do |t| t.column :name, :string end add_foreign_key_constraint :people, :household_id, :households, :id So the people table has a foreign key into

This plugin gives ActiveRecord the ability to do stricter date checking. Example: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_date :date_of_birth end This will ensure that date_of_birth is a *valid* date. The date can be set initially as a string in any of the following formats: "2006-01-01" "1 Jan 06", or "1 Jan 2006" "1/1/06" # Day /
