I want to put a ''search_box'' text_field in the header of each page. This common header template is implemented in ''views/layouts/application.rhtml''. The search_box is implemented in a controller named ''users''. (so ApplicationController is calling an :action in UserController) When I add this line to my

I want to put a ''search_box'' text_field in the header of each page. The search_box is implemented in a controller named ''users''.

Suppose I have a multiple select form on an initial page called things[], and two target actions. The initial page submits to target action 1, and target view 1 submits to target action 2. When I submit the form on the initial page, I can access that set of values in target action 1 and turn it into an array of objects by doing something like this (assuming that the option values are object ids,

Is there a development guide for best practices when making reusable components? For example, none of the login generators fit my requirements, and I want to write my own. But after I''m done, I''ll want to share it with multiple applications. Is there documentation for the right way to go about doing this? -- - Adam ** Expert Technical Project and Business Management ****

Hi, In an action I have a string representing a url for a get request. A simple and seemingly ridiculous example might be something like the following. What I''m trying to do is much more complicated but I think this tiny example shows where I am stuck. Into their browser a user types "http://my.domain.com/admin/category/updates". I have a controller roughly like the following

Hey Everyone! I have a newsletter system that contains a multitude of different newsletters. In this case three but the system allows the user to add more. Every user can be subscribed to any amount of given newsletters. So what I did was I created a user model, newsletter model, and subscription model. The subscription model belongs to one user and one newsletter. However,

When I explain RoR to someone I don''t have a convincing argument that explains why everything is so automatic and transparent, but relationships have to be encoded by hand in models. That shows I don''t understand well that part of AR. There''s the argument that says that not all databases offer metadata about foreign keys, but the natural question then is that,

I see in the new Agile Rails 2nd edition that components are going out of style? Is this so? has anybody abandoned the idea of components for helpers? Specifically I''m considering a menu sytem for a website that depends heavily on the users permissions to decide which menu options a user would need to see. I thought that components, since they have the logic in the controller and

I want append custom query parameters to my pagination links, like ?page=1&foo=bar. I can''t quite figure out how to do this with the pagination_links helper, although I believe the API says you should be able to: pagination_links(paginator, options={}, html_options={}) options are: :params: any additional routing parameters for page URLs Has anyone tried this? thanks, jeff --

Hello everyone, I just showed a friend a prototype of a site offering a service I''m trying to sell (sorry, not on the Internet yet - he saw it at my house). His comment: "Looks like it does everything, but also looks pretty ugly. You''re not going to wow anybody with that". Sitting back and thinking about it, he''s dead right - it needs some bling to make it

Hello, I just want to create a method that will be available for all models. Is it possible ?

Say I have a long block of text that has no line breaks. What''s the right way to wrap it at a column barrier? Obviously, I can write the logic for this, but if there''s some way written already, I''ll use that.

>From the rails helper, there''s a text wrap method that does this (I''ve removed the trailing .strip): text.gsub(/\n/, "\n\n").gsub(/(.{1,#{line_width}})(\s+|$)/, "\\1\n") The way I read this, it''s "replace every newline with two newlines (and it''s not clear to me either what this first part is supposed to accomplish), then replace

I didn''t get a chance to go to this meeting debating WebObjects Vs Rails, but here''s a report about it: http://desperatepundit.com/blog/cremes/technology/2006/02/15/WebObjects-versus-Ruby-On-Rails.html I don''t get what he''s saying, hand coding the model? yeah, you COULD ... but what about script/generate ???

Than my question is this? Now that I have switchtowerized and migrate enabled my app I can start down a new path if need be on a different OS as the base of the system. We have already tried CentOS and found it to have more issues than those mentioned about fedora and through it away faster than one could shake a stick at. Here are our requirements for a stage/dev box and production:

I am trying set up a rails app that utilizes components. I need to be able to pass some state (a bunch of name value pairs) from the Main controller to the component. Is there any way to pass this state info using render_component? Regards -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
