Modules are exactly what I needed to figure out, but once I started my app over again putting my controller under a module folder, I can''t get my basic app going. Basically I have a News app, where we will post PR and other articles of interest. It was working fine with a model/controller combo of news/index for the public and news/admin for the administrators. Keep in mind this

Hi all We all know the model-controller-paradigm: I have a model "News" which has a corresponding CRUD-controller "NewsController". But now I''m quite unsure about the following... Guess we have normal visitors that visit our site www.??.com/news and we have administrators that create and modify news items. The admin should see an "Edit" link and a

I''m trying to create a modules based system where my controllers are all under modules. So the structure looks something like: app/ controllers/ message/ news_controller.rb email_controller.rb library books_controller.rb pictures_controller.rb home_page_controller.rb Each of those controller has

I need to automate changing the reference value for factors in analysis, and it is my understanding that the following two sets of code should produce identical results, but they do not: 1)dataset$method 2)eval(parse(text=paste("dataset",IVcat[k],sep="$"))) (in this case I have IVcat[k]=method, which is why they are equal) I even tested them in R, which says that these

Here is the scenario I am trying to achieve. Basically, I want to run the action "show" from my controller, without adding the "show/id". Standard: http://www.domain.com/controllerName/show/id I would like: http://www.domain.com/controllerName/randomstring (where randomstring is a field in my model/table, that is equivalent to a GUID -> and unique). I''m confused

Basically, I''m trying to have a table called "categories" have a many to many relationship with itself. But I also want each catagory to be able to be "copied" into another category so it is essentially a child category to more than one parent. To me the obvious way of doing this is by creating another table called category_maps (and a model called CategoryMap).

Got a noob question for ya... When I visit http://localhost:3000/ I get the nice "Welcome to rails" page. To get to a controller I have to go to: http://localhost:3000/controllername What if I don''t want the welcome message and want / to resolve to a controller? How do I set that up?

Hello! I''m just starting out with Rails--and Ruby itself for that matter--and have a couple of questions regarding primary_key_prefix_type and non-integer primary keys. I see in the ActiveRecord documentation [1] that by default the primary key of a table "foo" is expected to be "id", though primary_key_prefix_type this can be changed to :table_name or

I wrote an fbjs library to help speed up development of some of my applications. I plan to have some sort of "official" release with a blog entry and github repository at some point, but I thought you guys might want to have it earlier. It''s still a work in progress. I''ve been using every method at least once in my application but it''s still possible there is

Hello, i simplified have a news model, a news category model and a news controller. my _news.rhtml partial renders a single news entry. in my controller there are the actions show and show_category. if the "show" action is called, a single news item is rendered through my partial with no errors. if the "show_category" action is called, i get a NoMethodError while displaying

I feel awful asking such a basic question, but here it goes.... I have a controller, "NewsController". The user enters and the "list" action is called and I populate an instance variable "@news" which contains all the elements I''d like to display using a form. The user then changes something and the "update" action is called. Is

Can anyone supply me with a simple, succinct explanation of what the difference is between the "new" controller and the "create" controller that the scaffold generator produces? I run: > script/generate scaffold modelname controllername And now I need to do some work inside the controllername.rb file. For example, pulling a list from another database table to supply

Hey- I''m using ROR 1.0 and script.aculo.us 1.5.1. I''ve been trying unsuccessfully to render a partial in a DIV, but can''t seem to get the right combination of stuff to make it work. There seems to be a few different ways of going about it. Right now I can render a partial. What do I need to to render the partial in a div? Here is what it looks like so far: #

Does anyone know the easiest way to put up a splash page where people can add their email addresses to be notified when the site is ready? I want regular visitors to be directed to this page. How can i have this and still be able to test/develop the site? I know a lot of web apps do this while still developing, so i''m looking for a solution that i''m sure exists, but i cant

Hi all, Please excuse the long post, but I wanted to make sure you have all the information.... I have a NewsModel that looks like this: class News < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user validates_associated :user validates_length_of :title, :description, :minimum => 5, :allow_nil => false acts_as_commentable acts_as_taggable def self.find_recent News.find(:all,

hi @ all I create a new archiv.html.erb and a archiv method in the controller. Now, I would like to link from index.html.erb to archiv.html.erb.

Does anyone know, how I can enhance this problem? thanks a lot... -- Posted

Bleeding-edge story-writers, How are you structuring your specs? I am working on a new project and tried this: ./lib ./blah ./spec ./blah ./stories But it breaks autotest, so I moved stories parallel to lib and spec. Also what about suffixes? I have adopted "xyz_story_spec.rb", and "xyz.story" for the time being, with the line runner =

At times I''ve gotten the message "No Server Running" from drbspec with my rails app. The thing is, the drb server certainly is running! This happened a few times with my model specs. I''m not sure exactly what the problem was there - I believe I was loading up fixtures that didn''t exist. I was calling fixtures :singular_table_name as opposed to

I''m trying to render a component that pulls information based on a parameter that is passed by a link_to item, but my params object is nil for the following code in the controller: records = ControllerName.find(params[:id]) but the error page also has this: Parameters: {"id"=>"7"} I''ve tried to access it (in the controller) using: variable =
