similar to: read-only access to database?

In my model, I am attempting to correct some bad data rather than just pass an error message back to the user. The problem is that my fix seems to get the data past validation but it then puts the bad data into the database rather than the new(and improved) data. If I pass in web_site with the value of ''www.test.com'', it will pass validation but it won''t add

Hi all, I''m new to Rails, I know this is a classic error, but I cannot resolve it anyhow :( This is my system config: Windows XP SP2 Ruby 1.8.2 -> installed using windows installer version Rails 1.0.0 MySql 4.1.10 I followed the instruction on rubyonrails.org, exactly step by step. But the error occur everytime I tried to generate scaffold or generate model. I tried to googling

Hi all, I would like to start a thread on RoR related issues on the new Intel version of Mac OS X. I have been using Apple''s new iMac Core Duo (which comes with Intel version of Mac OS X) for about a week now. Here''s my experience: Ruby 1.8.4: It compiles albeit with many warnings. Most warnings were about "differ in signedness". It seems to work okay

Does anyone have a sense for how painful the 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade is going to be for existing apps? I''m finishing up my first real RoR application with Rails 1.0. I can live with it staying at that level, but I really want to use the has_many :through attribute to clean up some of my code. I''m not particularly interested in edge Rails, mainly because the documentation for

Is there any way to tell Rails to send the .html file it renders somewhere other than the web server? I need to save a page to the server''s file system instead of sending it to the user''s browser.

This is way offtopic, but I''ve seen this several times recently and it''s annoying me. If you put "HOWTO" in your subject that means that you''re posting a guide on a particular topic. It doesn''t mean that you''re asking a question about "how to" do something. It''s not like it''s a crisis, but it screws up searches

Does any know a simple way to count the number of pages in a PDF file? I''m using teh RTEX plugin to generate a PDF via pdflatex with a defined start page number. I want to determine the final page number so I can start the next PDF in sequence. Thanks in advance for your help! -cal

Is it my imagination or has there been a huge increase in the number of fragmented threads in the last several days? Maybe it''s Gmail doing something crazy, but I see dozens of top-level conversations starting with replies (ex. "Re: [Rails] omfg something broke"). Did people collectively forget what the "reply" button looks like, or is the list software doing

Hello, Just started to use Capistrano for deployment and everything works beautifully and as advertised. Thanks Jamis for this great piece of software. However, in my case, the deploy task takes quite some time since my SVN repository resides on a different continent than my app/db server and I''ve frozen all the rails code in the vendor dir and checked in. All in all my app sums up to

I''ve been contemplating the utilization of "tags" functionality for categorizing records in my application. For example, a record can have any tag associated with them: volunteer, donor, phone_caller, etc. (Much like delicious) Has anyone already laid out a good architecture for implementing this on the DB, or other medium? I''m sure I can custom build something, but

Yesterday, I was having a problem with db:migrate. I was told my version of rails was too old, and I needed to install it from gems instead of the version in my version of Ubuntu. Since then, I''ve done that, and I built ruby 1.8.4 from source and installed it. The installation was to /usr/local/bin. As my distribution had put ruby 1.8.3 in /usr/bin, I renamed that and put a link to

Greetings, I''m trying to make a simple logging application that just displays the last few rows of information in the log. In order to do this, I am trying to use the ":offset" option for find. However, I am not getting the results I expect. For testing purposes, the query is being run against a table (MySQL) that contains 11 records. According to the RoR documentation,

One of the criticism I have heard about rails is that the documentation is bad. I must admit I have a hard time trying to follow it and I wonder if anyone can shed some light on it for me. For example, I am looking at the schema.rb file generated and I noticed this line: create_table "accounts", :force => true do |t| I thought to myself, what does :force => true mean? So I

I''m using ruby on rails on a Macbook Pro with sqlite3. I''m finding that memory for the ruby process stays about 20mb until I hit an error after which the mermory doesn''t seem to be released and keeps going up until I can''t use my machine. What could be causing this? is it using sqlite3? have I set up rails or ruby wrong? Tim -------------- next part

I am wanting to one run instance of lighttpd, many many instances of mongrel. I also need ssl but only for one of my sites. I understand that Mongrel does not play with SSL so I am forced to use Lighttpd. I think that lighttpd only handles ssl or non-ssl on any given instance. Is there a way for me to accomplish my goal of one lighttpd with multiple mongrels and the occasional ssl connection? --

I''m not sure if this is the right place to ask such questions. If not, my apologies and please direct me where such questions are handled. I am new to RoR and have been following the tutorial in Agile Web Developement with Rails. I have successfully gotten RoR up and running on my Mac (OS X 10.4.6) and created a MySQL database. However, on page 57 of the tutorial, the command

A quick survey... what''s the best gui debugging tool for Rails 1.0 on Linux that you''ve used? SW versions? Personally I''ve tried FreeRIDE 0.95 and RDT 0.7.0 in Eclipse 3.1.2. Both are very slow and the latter got quite a few bugs itself. TIA! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
