I''m a total Rails newbie and i''ve been struggling for hours today with one (prolly very silly) problem: I have a table portfolios that has many images: class Portfolio < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :images end class Image < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :portfolios end In the controller i define a list of active portfolios: @active_portfolios =

I have the following two methods: def ProductFile::find_images(mode, prod_id) # convert to symbol in case it is not (most commonly it may be a String) mode = mode.to_sym case mode when :all, :first ProductFile::find(mode, :conditions => ["product_id = ? AND file_type LIKE ?", prod_id, "image%"]) end end def ProductFile::find_documents(mode,

After I installed the very sweet file_column plugin I get strange output on my html pages. At the very end I always get something like this: "Loaded suite dispatch.cgi Started Finished in 0.000218 seconds. 0 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors " Seems like there is executed a non existent test suite for every page load. Can anybody help me find the lines that force this

Please help, I am really at a loss at how validation is supposed to work in rails. Model contains acts_as_tree I want to force my NEW objects to have a parent I do NOT want existing object to have a parent so I only want to have parent_id on create, NOT on update.

Hi! I just ran the first few Rails tutorials and I''m really impressed at how quickly I was able to get something up and running. I''m slowly emerging from the stone ages, and leaving my powerbuilder behind ? yes, I know, keep the snickering to a minimum please! I started into J2EE/STRUTS, but was quickly frustrated by how long it would take to code anything but relatively

Is there a way to get the MIME extension of a file_column field? Here''s what I want to do (look for comment in before_save method): class ProductFile < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :product file_column :file_name def before_save self.file_type = # something that returns the MIME type (e.g. image/jpeg) end end TIA

I''ve been banging my head against the following for about 8 hours now, and have exhausted my web research options: /usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/dispatch.fcgi:21:in `require'': no such file to load -- /usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/../config/environment (LoadError) from /usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/dispatch.fcgi:21

I want to make a for loop that concats strings onto a variable: html .= var1 + "this is a test" + whatever What is the syntax that does this in ruby/rails? Also, is there a ''print'' method in ruby?

Hello people, I''d like to detect whether an attribute of a model has vaildates_presence_of applied to it so I can automatically apply a mandatory (*) to the field...it doesn''t look easy...any ideas? Cheers, -- Dan Webb http://www.danwebb.net

I added this test towards the end of the included file_column_helper_test.rb that shipped with the file_column plugin: def test_url_for_file_column_different_root_path Entry.file_column :image, :root_path => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "public/files") e = Entry.new(:image => upload(f("skanthak.png"))) assert_match %r{/public/files/entry/image},

Hello, I am having some trouble running the unit tests for the salted has login generator. I am a bit new to both ruby and rails so I am having a little trouble deciphering the error message I get when running ''rake test_units''. Up till the point where I try to run the unit tests I have followed the quick start guide for the salted hash login generator

Sorry, but this is really NOT as easy as the tutorials/books make out. I''m really struggling at the first hurdle here. And while I''m not a programmer by design I do know my way around most stuff. And if I can''t get this to work I suspect more people will have the same issues. There seems to be too many variables to address. I have winXP, I have ruby and rails all

I had to add a check box indicating that a user accepted certain terms to a page. So, I put in a ''validates_acceptance_of :terms'' line into the appropriate model and added a checkbox to my view. Everything works as expected in my web browser. However, my functional tests still pass and I didn''t add or change anything to them. I was expecting to have to add another

This almost feels like a bug to me, since false is not nil. (i don''t think!) Using v_p_o on a boolean field fails validation if the field is passed with ''false''. It passes validation in the case of true. How can I validate _presence_of a boolean if it is submitted false? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

I cannot work out why this error is appearing. ActionView::TemplateError (can''t convert ActiveRecord::Error into String) on line #3 of app/views/button/_show_enquiry.html.erb: 1: <h1>Send us a message</h1> 2: <% remote_form_for :enquiry, :url => {:action => ''send_mail''} do | f| %> 3: <%= error_messages_for ''enquiry'',

I have a model that contains a :boolean field. In my view, I have a simple select of Yes or No, which equates to true or false, respectively. If I choose yes and save, everything works great. If I choose no, my model fails validation as I have this set as a required field using validates_presence_of. I have checked the log and it''s definitely set to false, why would this fail validation?

Hi! I got a class named EinsatzFilter which I serialized to session. Before saving to session it works afterwards I keep getting the message: "undefined method `to_s'' for #<Person:0x38c6ab8>".

Hi, I''m wondering how to use the ''vendor'' directory in a Rails app. I know that you can put plugins and engines into the ''vendor/plugins'' directory and that svn:externals can be used for that, but I was wondering how & where I put a 3rd party library? My specific case is the pdf-writer code, which I''d rather have inside my app than as a
