Hi, Just wondering when one would use "include" over "extend"? Both seem to bring in methods to the class no? The context is I''m just trying to understand why both are used with the acts_as_audited plugin: Full extract from plugin (used within here): ================================================== # Copyright (c) 2006 Brandon Keepers # # Permission is hereby

AJAX & Ruby & Rails newbie here. I''ve got a link to remote that I believe should be working, but doesn''t seem in fact to do *anything*. I''m looking at the webrick log, since the Book says I should be seeing some hot POST action in there, but there''s literally no change when I click on the JS link. From looking at the source that''s

This is a bit of a long question, but to those of you with some experience, it should be fairly simple I think. I have a notes page that should list all notes the user has entered for all books chronologically like this. Book One: This is the note. Book Four: This is the note. Book One: A different note, entered later. Right now my models are: User has_many :books Book has_many

I have a controller that saves info to the DB. It''s based on the AJAX scaffolding code. All I want to do is add a simple_format() function to it before I save a user-edited text field to the DB. TO convert line returns to <br>s, etc. @project_note = ProjectNote.new(params[:project_note]) @project_note.body = simple_format(@project_note.body) Since this happens in a controller,

I came across this awesome plugin used for auditing models. This is an ActiveRecord extension. However I was wondering if I could tweak it a little to make it work for ActiveResource. In case you haven''t heard about acts_as_audited plugin, here is the link to check it out. http://opensoul.org/2006/07/21/acts_as_audited Is there anyone who has experience in similar context? Please help!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone came across a similar scenario when working with namespaced routes with edge rails. Consider an application with controllers customers and products that also have other resources. map.resources :customers do |customer| customer.resources :notes customer.resources :tags end map.resources :products do |product| customer.resources :notes customer.resources

[ I''m still hoping for some help with this, folks... -r ] As part of the Arti (http://mephisto-ar.cfcl.com) effort, I''m looking into creating a database to store information on entities and relationships found in Ruby and Rails, as: Method M1 is defined for Class C1 in File F1.

I hope I''m not breaching etiquette too badly. It''s not my intention to offend or pressurize anyone. Also, I admit my personal motivation. I had a look at the list of pending patches (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/report/3) to get an idea what patches are currently open and see what their state is. From some of my own patches I know that they are basically ready for either

Sorry, lots of questions these days. Is there a normal approach for preconditions? In JUnit, I might put a few assertions in the setUp() just to make sure that the test ''data'' I''ve created meets expectations before going to test it. So, for instance, I''ve got an object that is audited using acts_as_audited and I''d like to test the XML that results
