I have a form. Everything submits into the database if I don''t have any validation rules. When I put these rules: validates_uniqueness_of :title, :message => "already exists in database" validates_presence_of :title I get this error (which seems weird because I am not validating against that): You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You

I have this in my controller... @tech_standards = TechStandard.find_by_sql("SELECT * FROM tech_standards WHERE subpoint <> 0") Everything is fine except when I look at my view I still get supoints that are 0. When I run this query in my query browser I don''t. View: <select name="resource[tech_standard]" id="tech_standard">

This is simple (I am sure) but how do you get the id of the inserted element after the element has been save? I thought it was something like this: @product = Product.new(params[:product] if @product.save add_image(product.id, params["image"]) flash[:notice] = ''Product was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action => ''list_products'' end

I have everything working and I am really excited about learning Ruby and Rails. But whenever I access my different defs in my controller it takes ~ 5 seconds before they are returned.

I''ve been trying to come up with a good way to integrate a dynamic navbar into my layout. By dynamic, I meas that each link has 3 images. Normal, rollover, and dark for the current page. I have it working but it seems like there should be a better way. Here is how I did it, please let me know if there is a better way. Rails makes so many things simple, that this seems very

I am having issues with a many-to-many table. The table relates resources to standards, but in my resources table has one-to-many relationships so those also appear in my many-to-many table.

I am getting this error. ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in Resources#create Focus expected, got String I have a select menu named resource[focus].

I am using the ACL System that is described on the Rails wiki and I have a quick question. I want to set the "role" as a session variable so that I can display certain navigation schemes and I was doing it like this: @session[:user][:role] = @user.roles When I print out this variable I get: #<Role:0x3262d80> How can I turn this into a readable value? I tried .to_i

Would I use a helper for this situation? I have a layout that is used over two controllers (admin and login). Each controller has their own navigation. Can I do something like this? <%= getNavigation("admin") %> or <%= getNavigation("login") %> And return the navigation list depending on the string sent? Seth Buntin -------------- next part

I have some code that calls a partial to display one or more blocks within a div tag. I want to have a close button (or cancel link) that will fade that block but leave the others. Here is the code: LINK: <%= link_to_remote "Add Miscellaneous Link", :url => { :action => :add_iyc_link } %> add_iyc_link.rjs: page.insert_html :bottom, ''links'', :partial

Is there a trick to validating select menus? I have this rule: validates_presence_of :title, :type :title is a text box and validates correctly but :type doesn''t: <p> <label for="resource_type">Type</label><br/> <select name="resource[type]" id="resource_type"> <option value=""

Seth, It really depends how often you do that check. If it happens only once or twice in your whole application, that''s just fine. If it happens more than that and in multiple controllers/views then maybe you want to create a helper for it. Something like this: (didn''t test it, but should be working) module ApplicationHelper def current_id_select(controller, action) (

So what is "best practice" using scaffolding and then manipulating it to work for you or starting from scratch? Thanks. Seth -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060213/0f16d567/attachment.html
