similar to: RoR VS Rails ???

Has anyone seen this happening to their apps? I''m starting to get errors like this come across from one of my apps: ActiveRecord::UnknownAttributeError: unknown attribute: <script type The parameters being sent are: {"user"=> {"email_confirmation"=>"someone-hcDgGtZH8xNBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org",

Hi all, just joined and have only just kicked off with Rails (coming, but not departing, from WebObjects development). And so far there seems to be a lot of promise except for one thing I can''t figure out as yet -- the above problem. Say I have the following conceptual relationships: ITEMS <<--->> CARTS i.e., each item can belong to one or more categories. So really

Hi All, I am doing some research on how people start with their Rails app. What design decisions are made and how is it build. For example: - do you use scaffolding and go from there? Or do you create everything from scratch? - are you using multiple controllers? Or do you put everything in one? - do you use migrate? - how do you use migrate? Do you call migrate your self or do you use the

My application needs to know if a user is an administrator, for security and aesthetic reasons. At the moment, I store true/false in the session by doing the following at login: session[:user_is_admin] = authenticated_user.is_admin? Is this OK to do? Or should I really be doing the following every time: User.find(session[:user_id]).is_admin? (user_id is always in the session too) Is there

I have a main form representing the model, let''s call that ''Order'', and a partial displaying its'' OrderLines. I use the bulk update methods to initialize model objects directly from form data, leaving validation of business logic to the model. As AR likes to write stuff before i do an explicit save, I wrap the whole update in a manual transaction. This works

Maybe I am grasping the full usage of this protect_from_forgery function, but it does not seem to work for me. Imagine the following: A simple website with a user that needs to log in to do certain stuff and a closed off admin section that only certain users can access that have the is_admin field set to true. So to be clear, my User model has a login, password and is_admin. When displaying the

How do I get ''save'' to execute without commit? I have tried: ActiveRecord::Base.connection.begin_db_transaction # do some stuff that doesn''t issue a database COMMIT statement # then: @myObject.save # this issues a COMMIT but it shouldn''t! Shouldn''t it wait until I''ve called: ActiveRecord::Base.connection.commit_db_transaction ? what am

Is there a place where I can put a method that can be accessed in both views and controllers? Here''s the situation, maybe someone can suggest a better way to go about this: I created my own custom login system with email verification and user roles (basically, I tinkered around with SaltedHashLoginGenerator until I finally gave up and wrote my own). One role, of course, is an admin

I have come across this neat Javascript table sorter at http://kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/ It seems straigh forward to use but i cant get it to work. I have included in the head <script src="javascripts/sorttable.js" type="text/javascript"></script> In the View <table class="sortable" id="anyid"> <thead>

Hi All, I''m trying to use a form to upload a photo that I will save using attachment_fu. I''m very new to Facebookr so I apologize if this is covered somewhere, but I''m kind of stumped. Here''s what I''m doing now: <% facebook_form_for(:my_object, :url => { :action => ''upload_photo'', :id => params[:id] }, :html => {

I have a mock object (Person) that is associated with another object (my_object) through a belongs_to association. When I check whether my_object is valid (my_object.should be_valid), I am getting an error like the following: Mock "Person_6338" received unexpected message :marked_for_destruction? with (no args) Checking the list of methods on the mock,

I''ve asked this before, but never got a working response. I''d like to store an object inside a binary field in my db. So I''d have a class like this class MyAwesomeClass def do_something_awesome ... end end then class MyRecord < ActiveRecord::Base end the table my_record would have a binary field, my_object, that would store an object of

I have added roles and roles_users table and updated the model so that my users can have multiple roles. ("Admin" role does always have id = 1). I have added these methods to my application controller. <code> helper_method :is_admin? helper_method :is_user? def is_admin? if @session[''user''] @session[''user''].roles.find(1)

Hi, test "is_admin method is not visible" do get :is_admin assert_??? end is_admin is protected and should stay that way forever. What assertion do I use? M. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am using authlogic as a authentication engine in my rails app. I have two types of users 1) Users who are registered and has access to there own profile. 2) Admin user who has access to everybody''s profile In the user table i have a :is_admin field boolean field which defines the admin user. like the current_user method, Is there a way authlogic provides which can tell me if the

Original announcement at http://blog.inquirylabs.com/ [1] == What is bundled_resource? == If your development is in any way similar to mine, there are a number of useful resources out there that make web applications shine beautifully. For example, there?s the Dynarch calendar and the textarea tools. There are a number of others?too many, in fact. The problem is that as a web developer,

(I posted this as a bug in GitHub (https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/7018), but then someone there told me I should post it here, so here it is.) If you set attr_accessible on some properties in an ActiveRecord-descended class, and then attr_protected on others - the class becomes ''default-open'' - if any properties are missed or added later, they will be accessible by

Apologies first, because I need to ramp up on Ruby and coding Ruby in Rails, however it''s my 3rd day with this beast :) so I''m asking : When I added protected methods to the model before it was like: protected method.................... end Would this be a valid way to write a protected method as well ?: attr_protected :column1, :column2 Perhaps this particular call

Hi, has anyone come across any incompatibilities between file_column and login_engine? I''ve been having strange issues where a User model with file_column in it is failing to save the images properly. Everything uploads to the tmp dir fine, but then it never gets copied to the proper permanent location. No errors - everything happens fine except for that final part. I have

In the customized autocomplete demo, how does it know what content to use as the value of the autocomplete? The returned UL has the name, email address and an image. Yet only the name is used. How does it do this? I''ve been trying to get something similar going all morning with little success. Also, what does :skip_style=>true do? I couldn''t seem to find a mention of it
