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''m calling render_component in a helper. render_component :controller => target_controller, :action => "show", :id => target_id This works fine, except that passing the id in :params didn''t work and I had to pass in an explicit :id parameter to get the target controller to override the id - is that documented anywhere? That''s not my question. My

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 ****

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

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 --

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 ??? And is that so what he said about security? --

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:

Any plans for using Atom with rails. I saw the "Typo" project is using MoveableType, Blogger, ... but not Atom. It seems Atom is not part of ActionWebService. Has anyone done any work with Atom and Rails ? Thanks for your answers, Gaspard

You''ll have to forgive me ... I''ve been toying with rails for about a week and although I don''t feel completely lost there''s still a lot that I don''t understand. Here goes. Assume I have a controller called admin in app/controllers as well as three model classes in app/models: product, category, warehouse. How exactly do I use the admin controller to

I''m a developer working on an application that will potentially be used by around 500,000 users on a daily basis. Plus some internal apps communicating to it via ActionWebServices with a potentially high demand. Our Operations team is helping us define the necessary system architecture, and I have one remaining question: What is the best way to scale the database? I have no expertise in

Dave, on another topic, might I recommend that you and DHH publish an updated version of the Agile guide right away when 1.1 comes out? You could reuse much of your material and it would do a lot of good to help make sure there is still a good centralized source of reference for Rails. Without that book, there really is not a good one-stop source of information for people to learn how to use
