similar to: Getting Index When Using render :partial

Thanks for the suggestion, Ben. This seems an excellent approach to the problem, except that I''d been under the impression that one could only call render once. If you call it multiple times as the each_with_index loop iterates, are the results just combined automatically? How does that work? Thanks!

Ok, this has got me going a bit crazy. I have an HTML fragment being returned for the result to an AJAX query. It works fine in Safari or from curl (and even in IE/Mac), but utterly fails to load in Firefox, even if I point directly to the URL, skipping all that AJAX stuff in between. (The server logs show a 200 response, regardless of which browser is being used.) I''ve verified

I have a table with some data structured something like this: book ---- title (varchar) pages (int) completed_on (date) While I can find the shortest book completed in each year with something like this: select min( pages ), year from book group by year I would also like to get the title of the shortest book in each year. Is there any way to do this by modifying the previous query to pull

Hi folks, I''ve got an older project I''ve used LoginGenerator for. It works pretty well, but lacks password resetting, etc. Now I''ve got a new project for a client that''s going to need login capabilities as well. I''ve been looking at the Salted Login Generator and the Login Engine, and have taken quick stabs at running through the installation

I''d been trying to iterate through an array of hashes using the ActionController''s render method. Unfortunately, it appears that when I use a hash as one of the array elements, it gets passed as a nil to the partial. Here''s some code: @books = [ ''hello'', ''hello2'' ] render :partial => "book",

Howdy Y''all, I was thrilled to recently discover migrations, as that framework addresses a common problem in an elegant way. I have, however, gotten tripped up a bit as I''ve worked with them. The first problem I encountered was that, though I was using a BigInt data type in a field in my dev database, my unit tests were failing because when I copied the schema from the dev

Disclaimer: Ruby newbie at work Thought I was going so well. Wanted to produce a select box from an array constant, with the indices returned as values , and the array values used as the descriptions. Checked out Ruby RDoc and saw there was an each_with_index method and came up with: <%= select (''type'', ''typecategory'', Typecategory.each_with_index

I''ve been working on an AJAX search, very similar to the Flickr one in the screencast linked from the main rails page. I''ve been doing my testing in Safari, where everything has worked fine, only to now discover the results of the search action seem disinclined to load in Firefox. I can enter a URL to return the HTML fragment that''s supposed to be dropped into

I have a model object that acts as a list. The position of each object is determined by two factors: number of votes ascending and age of object descending. When a user adds or deletes a vote I need to quickly update the associated model object''s position. Right now this is done with the following method: def update_position position = nil Bug.find(:all, :order =>

When using array.each_with_index how do you start at a desired index position? I can do it like this, but its not very clean and doesnt seem efficient : desired_index_start = 20 array.each_with_index do |value,index| next if index<desired_index_start end Thanks Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve spent hours researching the subject and have tried many test sequences in IRB, and rails console but I''m just having trouble making headway into what is probably a very easy subject. I understand arrays with at least 4 other languages but with Ruby I haven''t found a mental connection with how I can assign variables to arrays.. Take for example: def

I''ve been messing around with Ferret (no punn intended). After spending some time testing it out (indexing to file), I decided to index about 10% of the data I want to eventually index. It took several hours to complete the index on my local machine, but it was created without any problems and after optimising it the searches returned results at the sort of speed I was expecting. I

Hello I need to check that the NHS numbers in my database are valid. I''m storing them as ten-digit strings: the first nine are the identifier and the tenth is a check digit. There are four steps to calculating the check digit (from http://www.connectingforhealth.nhs.uk/systemsandservices/nsts/docs/tech_nn_check_digit.pdf): 1. multiply each of the first nine digits by a weighting factor

I am making a browser-based game using ruby on rails and I am having trouble implementing a ranking system for my game. Each player has five skills: intelligence, creativity, strength, charisma and technological. I want the player to have a rank for each skill. The ranking I have in place right now gives the same rank if two players have the same amount of skill. SELECT COUNT(*) AS [rank] FROM
