I''m trying to produce a plugin to help me with my page caching woes. I can''t seem to get rails to see my method within the plugin.

My table looks like Table with constants ------------------------ id | key | value | type ------------------------ 1 | M | Male | sex ....

Hey, sorry if this is something better suited to another list. I''ve encountered a strange problem with the RSpec.tmbundle in trunk - namely that it was raising an exception when pressing ctrl-shift-downarrow (switch between spec and source - "Alternate File"). I tracked down the issue to be handling of the file_type in switch_command.rb#content_for() - the code expected the

All, I have a controller action that will do a different "render (:action)" call depending on whether or not data is valid. When the data is invalid - I set a flash element to hold a message. However, when I post back to this controller action and have valid data, I still have the flash element set, which I don''t want. I believe this is because I did a render from the

So any other ideas as to why my custom class under app/models is being cached even though all the caching is set to false in the config/environments/* files? Currently I''m having to restart WEBrick after EVERY change to the file. The controllers and views are reloading just fine and not being cached. It''s just the custom class I created that''s being cached. Any ideas

I have a controller method that is attempting to do a render based on a potential error condition. So I have if (condition) render() else ..other code end ....other code in method Should I expect the render to take place immediately or does the render call not work because it isn''t the last statement in the method?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has seen (or completed) an effect to make something ''bounce'' like icons do in the OS X dock when you launch them? Something that looks like there''s a bit of gravitational behavior to it? Thanks, Trevor Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

I have a matrix of data. I need to scan the matrix and find every sequence from maxima to maxima across a row. I can write a loop to do this easily. Problem is, I can't figure out how to store the results. Each result is a vector of widely varying lengths. Ideally I'd like a vector of these, i.e. a vector of vectors, so I can quickly iterate through them and compute correlation

Hi. Using this: <%= time_zone_select("account", "time_zone" %> I get a list of time zones options, like eg.: <option value="Athens">(GMT+02:00) Athens</option> But as I''m using TZInfo::Timezone, I need to map ''Athens'' to ''Europe/Athens'' I can see that the mapping I''m looking for is

I am aware that controllers can be placed in modules: ruby script/generate controller modulename/controllername But what does this buy me? Is it just a way of ensuring that my source code is nicely arranged, or can I use the fact that a set of controllers are all within a particular model to implement functionality common to all of those controllers? Why am I asking? The app

I wanted to group some functions which I use in some models in one place. Controllers have application.rb and views have helpers but I couldn''t find anything about models. Using the /lib directory seemed to be the only way. Alright... so I have something like this: /lib/code.rb class ActiveRecord::Base def method_a(n) ....... end def method_b(n) ........ end end

i have this model: class LineItem < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :quote end in the console: >>l = LineItem.create ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' , , , )'' at line 1: INSERT INTO line_items (`qty`, `quote_id`,

All, This is really starting to get me as i can''t figure out why I am getting this error. Here is what is going on. I have a table called items and a item controller. When I add a new item to the items table I am also creating several associated tables. the code for this so that you can follow along is: def create @item = Item.new(params[:item]) # The item belongs to

Hi, I''ve been trying to do timezone conversion, and have some trouble getting it to work on my Windows machine.

Will shortly be deploying first iteration of app to some beta testers (i.e. friends), and want them to be able see it both from logged-in view and guest (i.e. not logged-in) view. The two are a fair bit different. It''s a closed beta, so (hopefully) no pages (other than a blank login page) will be visible. The question is, what''s the best way for them to be able to see (and
