similar to: Why doesn''t my "action" take action?

I have a method in a controller that invokes a render :partial => ''some_partial_view'' In that view, I''m trying to access a method defined in a model, like this; <% for view in @an_array %> <% local_var = view.some_method() %> <% another_var = view.a_column_name %> etc.. I am getting an undefined method error but the model is accessible

I can''t seem to find my error. I think it''s fairly basic. Do I have to initialize SockServ somewhere or is this error message really indicating something else? uninitialized constant SockServ C:/rails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:200:in `const_missing'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/mindreadr_controller.rb:15:in

I have found that if I initialize a flag in my controller (under def Initialize), it appears everytime I call a controller action, the flag is set to the initialize value (even though I''m not calling the initialized action). Am I observing this clearly? I don''t think I should initialize a flag in the index file. So where? Specifically, I want to know if this action is a

I''m a beginner. I''ve done the apple tutorial, Agile ROR (the depot app, I stopped after that, a little to advanced with no base knowledge of Ruby), Why''s guide and my copy of Chris Pine''s book today. After Pine, I''m going to buy either the Wrox book or Ruby for Rails book. I did a search and there''s not too much on the Wrox book (Holzner)

I am furiously trying to find what I am looking for in Pickaxe book and not finding it. I''m getting some values back from a posted form and I need to get the ''id'' number off the backend. The ''String'' will always come back to me as... Some_name\r\n123 where 123 is actually the id number which I need to execute the find. The reason they are coming back

hello Friends, I am a newbie to "Ruby or Ruby on Rails". A J2EE application architect at my day job. A fairly experienced PHP web-developer as well. After reading into the many articles on Ruby/ROR, have to admit looks pretty good so far. Really serious about getting into this and possibly developing some good Web 2.0 applications. Just wondering the best way to learn Ruby on

Hi Everyone, I''m trying to formulate my thoughts on how views work in RoR and I understand the basic bits - 1. Every controller has its own view defined using rhtml files in the views/[controller_name] folder. 2. There is one "view" file (rhtml) for every in the controller and has the same name as the method. 3. For portions that are common, partials can be used - file

= About Ackbar Ackbar is an adapter for ActiveRecord (the Rails ORM layer) to the KirbyBase pure-ruby plain-text DBMS. Because KirbyBase does not support SQL, joins or transactions, this is not a 100% fit. There are some changes to the ActiveRecord interface (see below), but it may still be useful in some cases. = URIs Ackbar: http://ackbar.rubyforge.org KirbyBase:

hi forum, I am new to rails, and i am just getting my hang of things. Problem, how do you pass content captured in a form to a custom method?

hi! with a 4GL background, wanting to learn RoR, what is the fastest learning path i should take? should i go grab a RoR tutorial, and learn Ruby along the way, or start with plain Ruby first? thanks for any inputs!

Kevin, Very cool. I initially tried to figure out how to do it without those evals, but I failed (thanks for picking up the slack :) Your changes definitely improved the code, and made it much cleaner. Thanks. By the way, what is pickaxe? I''m not familiar with that term. _________________________________________________________________ Free up your inbox with MSN Hotmail Extra

Hello, I was reading the pickaxe book and then I arrived to the chapter "When trouble strikes" in the Benchmark section. I have this code: #!/usr/bin/ruby -w require ''benchmark'' include Benchmark LOOP_COUNT = 1_000_000 bm(12) do |test| test.report("normal:") do LOOP_COUNT.times do |x| y = x +1 end end

I have looked through the Ruby Pickaxe book as well as done a search but can''t figure out how to validate the format of a field. The field I want to validate is a credit card expiration date field. Based on our user study (going around the office and asking everyone the way they like to fill out that particular field type) everyone prefers the following format in one field:

Reviews Wanted. I''ve read the tables of contents and haven''t yet made up my mind. Is one book clearly better than the other? Is one clearly full of bugs? Is one so much further ahead that there is no choice? Are they both so incomplete that I should just wait and only cook real food? Do trains still have dining cars?

Maybe this should apply to Ruby forums directly, but I''ll try here. I understand the concept of classes and subclasses thanks to the excellent "Programming Ruby - The Pragmatic Programmer''s Guide". However, I don''t understand what :: signify in terms of inheritance, parent and child in e.g. ActionController::Base -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
