I got email yesterday from a user who had run 'from' and got the message "No mail in /home/stevev/$USER" (where $USER was that person's username). At first I thought he had pilfered my .bashrc, but on further investigation I discovered that my home directory path had been compiled in to sshd, because the configuration tests assume that the directory part of $MAIL is the

Is this the prefered method to implement RedCloth in your views. I''m trying to display user input that will sometimes have code references in it. This strips out all tags. I would like for the tags to be displayed but not read as html. Thanks in advance! <%= RedCloth.new(strip_tags(comment.comment),[:filter_html]).to_html %> charlie bowman recentrambles.com -- Posted via

This is a subset of a much larger dataframe. I would like to be able to automate finding the pair of x, y coordinates where the line crosses zero agian x <- (structure(list(bankfull_depths_m = c(0, 0.17, 0.38, 0.37, 0.36, 0.39, 0.47, 0.48, 0.19, 0.05, -0.05, -0.09), measurment_num_m = c(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.4)), .Names = c("bankfull_depths_m",

Hi all I have members in my application, and every member can assign other members as buddies. class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # Hat folgende Buddies has_and_belongs_to_many :buddies, :class_name => ''Member'', :join_table => ''members_have_buddies'',

>From the docs: "Note that any fields in the join table will override matching field names in the two joined tables. As a consequence, having an "id" field in the join table usually has the undesirable result of clobbering the "id" fields in either of the other two tables." I do have an ID field in the join table, and as a result it''s clobbering the ID

Hi all I have the following models: class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # DJ Profiles the member is part of has_and_belongs_to_many :disc_jockeys, :join_table => ''members_are_disc_jockeys'', :uniq => true end class DiscJockey < ActiveRecord::Base # Members that are part of this DJ profile

I''m working on a simple photo gallery in rails, it seems to be a good project for a newbie. I have photos and categories, many-to-many association. It worked well with HABTM. Then I decided that it would be good to be able to change order of the photos so that thumbnail pages would look less chaotic. So I created a Layout model which is a join model (or whatever it is called) that

Hello, I am new to Ruby on rails and this is therefore probably trivial. Lets say I have 3 tables - users[id,name, age, ...], interests[id,name,description, ...], and finally a table user_interests[id,user_id,interest_id] to link a user to a set of interests. Now there is no problem to put validates_uniqueness_of :name in the user-model to ensure that I only have one Lenny, but how do I

Reading the Agile book, I can''t find a single command to save a collection. The save command seems to operate on only individual objects. Lets say I have a collection that I have received from a find_all command. I want to go through and change some attributes in various objects in the collection. Then I want to resave the whole collection back to the database. I don''t think

I know there''s a problem saving has_and_belongs_to_many relationships w/ Rails 1.0 in that only the first association is saved (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3213). What are people doing about this? I guess I could move to using the trunk release, but I''m hesitant because that might introduce a bunch of unknowns. Is there a workaround? For example, a way to explicitly

Earlier I forgot to add updated_at and created_at columns for my HABTM relationship so I created a migration to add them. In the migration I also want to go back and set the value of the created_at and updated_at columns for the previous rows. What is the best way to do that? Initially I thought I was being smart and decided to put an UPDATE SQL query in a find_by_sql statement and

Hello all, I have an Order object that has and belongs to many Products and has and belongs to many Loan Types. This is so I can select multiples of each in my order entry screen via checkbox groups. I''m having some trouble with saving multiple HABTM associations for a single model object; only the first HABTM association declared in the model will save during the initial @order.save

Hello forum readers, Let''s say i have two models: Person and Role (i replicated the problem with Post & Tag as well, as i thought the problem was linked to some application-specific rights problem, but it wasn''t). In Person, attr_accessible role_ids is declared, so it accepts an array of Role ids as an argument when creating / updating. If i fire up the rails console and

Hi, I am creating an order management web application, and have run into an issue over join tables. I am reading Agile Web Development and it says that I can put additional fields within my join tables, and they give the example of a date field. I want to know if it is possible to do the following: I have an orders table with the order information as well as an orders_items table and an

I have a multiple select menu: <%= select_tag ''resume[employer_1_industry][]'', options_for_select(industries_helper, @resume.employer_1_industry), :multiple=> true %> It produces this HTML: <select id="resume[employer_1_industry][]" multiple="multiple" name="resume[employer_1_industry][]"> <option value="">-

Hello folks! Beare with me for a second, while I explain my problem. Assuming we have the trivial model of class Author has_many :books end class Book end How do people go about creating the authors/edit and authors/new views if you want to be able to add and remove arbitrary amount of Books at Author creation and edit time? What I mean by this is that I go to
