I want to be able to do something like this (for example): class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :friends def friends(living_in = :uk) # filter based on parameters here end end Is there any way I can redefine the accessor for an association whilst still being able to get the values?

Hi, The documentation doesn''t make it clear why both file_field and file_field_tag are both useful. What is the reason for having two instead of just one of these? Thanks, Peter

I have a mysql database that I am trying to use migrations on. The problem that I am having is that when I create a blob field in my migration file like so: t.column "data", :binary, :limit => 15.megabytes, :null => false rails changes it to this in the schema: t.column "data", :binary, :default => "", :null => false not only is this not what I wanted

Hello all. I have started reading up on exceptions and tried replacing a manual check with one. Given the following code: def results begin @componentlogs = Componentlog.find(:all, :conditions => [ "cl_compname = ?", params[:componentlog][:cl_compname].strip] ) rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound render_text "<p class=''center''>No

Hello, I''m confused why the spec described below is failing. Other simple comparison specs are passing fine for the same model. The code is working accordingly when I test it through the console, I''m just having difficulty getting this spec to work. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi, all, I''m trying to write a spec for a controller method that starts out: def download @orders = Order.find( params[:ids] ) ... and started writing a spec that set params[:ids] to a mock. I was surprised to discover that controller specs (at least in RSpec 1.0.8) don''t offer the use of the params object (per

I have a simple program that read all HTML files from a directory and returns parts of the content and the file names which are HREFs to those file. I build the HREF string dynamicaly as PATH_TO_DOC_ROOT + "file_name". My PATH_TO_DOC_ROOT = http://127.0.0.1:3000/docman/public/docs. So, the final link that I am interested in might look like this:

I think I must be missing something obvious... I have... class OrderController < ApplicationController model :order scaffold :order def list @orders = Order.find_all_by_status(@params[:status], :order => "date" ) end end class Order < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :customer end and i''m getting... /Unknown column ''orderdate'' in

Hello, This is probably a silly question but looking at "api.rubyonrails.org", I can''t seem to figure out which method I should be using ... I want to execute an sql statement, like "truncate table BLAH" from within one of my rails app ... What''s the "right" way to do this? Thanks, /B -- Bruno Mattarollo <bruno.mattarollo@gmail.com>

Anyone figured out how to get rails/fastcgi to run on Resin. I assume it would be similar to PHP, which there are directions here: http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/thirdparty/php.xtp One thing that confuses me is that it wants a server address: <server-address>localhost:8002</server-address> Apparently you start the php process, like this: php -b 8002 And then the PHP process

Hello, Could anybody please tell me how I would show a message or an image while the ajax request gets processed? thank you in advance for your help. this is what I came up with but it doesn''t really work: function getHTML() { var url = "./scripts/rfiles.php"; var par = ""; var myAjax = new Ajax.Updater("fm-viewdetails", url, {method:

First let me say that Rails caching is very very cool. The traffic (and responsiveness) I''ve saved by added 10 lines of ruby code would be enourmous, if I actually had traffic... ;) Sweepers as observers are great, btw. Since every page of my side is dynamic, once I did some DB optimization I''m caching the content of the index page which was taking the bulk of the time to load

I''ve come across rather strange behaviour when trying to raise an exception in a stubbed method. I''m speccing the behaviour of a Rails create action, where I''m using save! to catch failed saves. In the case of working save, I''m using the following stub: @client.stub!(:save!).and_return(true) which works fine. However, in the negative case,

I haven''t been spec''ing lately, but been hopping back on and adding autotest. However I get an error: http://pastie.caboo.se/177538/wrap I also noticed a post by Scott and there was mention of rspec_autotest. Is this is what everyone is using? http://svn.caldersphere.net/svn/main/plugins/rspec_autotest/

What is the proper syntax to apply a css class to a link created using link_to? I''ve tried <%= link_to("details", :class => "details", :action => "edit", :id => event) %> but that creates a link which looks like /admin/events/edit/3?class=details which is not what I''m looking for. Kyle Heon

I''m using a cache sweeper class [1] to take care of some pretty complex sweeping. However, there is a problem with the current implementation. Namely, the sweeper gets called only when an action named in cache_sweeper is called using GET. As many methods where sweeper would be useful are using postback to send the form to the same action, this causes the cache to get swept when

Thanks to everyone who responded to my first set of questions. Not only did I get my questions answered but I improved my code and learned a couple new things. I think I prefer the mailing list over IRC... easier to follow :-) I have some more questions if you don''t mind. Some are Rails related and some are Ruby related. 1) This is concerning displaying error messages. I am assuming
