We have tables Users and Communities linked by has_an_belongs_to_many.

Later on how do we update or retrieve the attributes in the link table for a given user or a community with doing it explicitly using SQL? Thanks,

Hi ! I'm testing PayPal integration, and am using the Paypal gem. The Paypal gem requires the raw POST data, and not the pre-munged version that Rails uses. Running in dev mode, everything works fine, but in the tests, I can't seem to get at the data. I did: class ActionController::TestRequest < AbstractRequest #:nodoc: def raw_post raise "RAW_POST Request" end end

Hi guys, I''ve just installed Rails 2.3 and I am using the clearance plugin with cucumber features.

I developed an application using Rails and the WeBrick, and now I''ve moved it to the production server using apache/fcgid. Now, however, post data is not being populated in the params hash.

Hi. In my environment.rb, I have: ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = "/foobar" In my layout, I have: <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> Question 1: I am getting an error: ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match "/javascripts/prototype.js" with {:method=>:get}): When I remove the relative_url_root, everything works great.

Facebooker URL Rewriter stuff overloads ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root, causing a conflict with the plugin file_column and possibly other utilities. file_column constructs image URLs using the server host and relative_url_root This is not related to the sandbox patch I added to the rewriter. Facebooker overloaded relative_url_root before I touched it. I''ve

Basically I have a controller with this: @lang = params[''lang''] || ''en'' @errors = request.raw_post @feed_stats = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse("http://www.google.com/tbproxy/spell?lang=" + @lang), @errors) render :text => @feed_stats However whenever I run this I get an error message: undefined method `post_form'' for Net::HTTP:Class

I''d like to have posted form field data in the same order they were in the form. Raw_post shows the data in correct order but params hash doesn''t. This happens every time (tried it with webrick).
