There is a solution to use helpers from controllers ? I have an error : |undefined method `content_tag''| class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base def test return content_tag("a","test") end end

i have a Project model, which belongs_to :user when i add a project, the users_id is based on the session[:users_id]. to get the users_id into the projects table, i''m doing this: @project = Project.new(params[:project]) @project.users_id = session[:users_id] this is working, i''m just verifying this is the best way to do it.

How can I make this work ? <a href="#" onclick="new Effect.Fade(@div_id)"></a> @div_id is an instance variable ? TIA -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This has been my little experiment for the last few weeks. I jumped straight into rails after a few tutorials and have been using "Agile Web Development with Rails" as a reference. I picked up the Ruby syntax from examples which was not hard to do as I know various other languages. I''ve started 3 database driven web apps and all was going really well. Rails is fun and

How would I go about validating against spaces (for urls) Instead I wish to use dashes. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I read in the instructions of Tracks that "upgrading via the rake migrate command is quite a bit more tricky currently with SQLite and SQLite3". Is there any gotcha regarding migrations and SQLite3? -- fxn

I am using mongrel_cluster with mod_proxy_balancer and would like to enable compression (assuming it improves throughtput) and limit file size upload. I configured mod_deflate and LimitRequestSize in Apache, but in my trials looks like the proxied calls bypass those directives (the conf goes below). Is there a way to get this? -- fxn # Adapt this .example locally, as usual. # # To be

Hi all, I have a working ruby app that I developed on Window and I am trying to deploy it on Linox with Apache. The hosting company generated for me an empty rails app and I just replaced the files that I modified in my app (only rb/rhtml/css/js files). In addition I updatd the database.yml but now I am getting either page not found or Application error Rails application failed to start

OK, so I have a link_to_remote. I am too dumb to figure out where I can set a css class or id attribute. <%= link_to_remote("X", :url => { :action => :destroy, :id => message }, :confirm => "Delete ''" + message.title + "''?", :complete => "item_removed(''item_" + message.id.to_s + "'')") %>

I have an application with 15 migrations under version control. In a Mac and and in a Windows, a rake migrate from scratch runs them all just fine. But in a different Windows machine rake migrate stops after migration 3 for no apparent reason. --trace seems normal. No error is reported. Both Windows are XP SP2. They all have the same svn revision and Rails-related software, database is

Hello, I felt annoyed enough when having to redirect user back to their previous location in a hackish way that I wrote this plugin. It avoids storing POST and Ajax request. It also has a facility to specify actions not to store in the history. If you are interested, it''s there: http://blog.cosinux.org/pages/rails-history See you all, Damien -- Damien MERENNE

I want to load about 14000 words (a subset of /usr/share/dict/words) into a MySQL table in a migration: class CreateWords < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :words, :force => true do |t| t.column :word, :string end say_with_time ''loading words...'' do words = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''db'',

When a controller responds to a link_to_remote with a redirect_to, the link_to_remote gets a success callback, this would seem like a bug to me, at a minimum it should return a failure? This is driving me crazy because all the login engines/generators respond to an authentication error with a redirect_to. The work around is to change them to all do a render :layout => false, :status => 500

I am pondering the possibility of encrypting/decrypting some fields in a SQLite backend on-the-fly. The point of the message is not security, I know that''s broken, but whether there''s a technique that provides on-the-fly save/read filters. Of course the solution would need to work transparently in joins, so user.posts.last.title would do the right thing if title

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

What''s the standard way to prevent race conditions in controllers? Say user has many posts. Post controller has action add_post that receives user id, post controller find()s the user and while he is creating the post entry an administrator deletes that user in a separate session. We cannot assume the database checks foreign key integrity. How do you get that right? -- fxn

I have just some vague and thus probably wrong ideas about when to use model() in controllers, and by now I err on being redundant. I don''t post them here to avoid leaving anything that may be false in the archives. Can anyone explain exactly in which cases one should use model()? -- fxn
