In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first. Within an actual functional or unit test case, you could simply load them in the proper order, but

I''m thinking about signing up with DreamHost for the base Level 1 $9.95 plan. Does anyone think that''s a bad idea? I''d like to know others thoughts, and who they recommend for RoR hosting? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m just looking into how to connect to Oracle using Rails. I''ve got everything connecting and working as it should. I have a Users table in Oracle: create_table "users", :force => true do |t| t.column "username", :string t.column "created_on", :datetime t.column "email", :string t.column "note", :text

Can someone explain why form helpers appear to bypass any model methods I override for fields that are bound to database fields? It would be great if someone could tell me how to force the form field, etc to call the method instead of looking at the database / attributes collection. Let''s say I have a column called ''price'' in my database table "books"

All, When I generate scaffolding on my model, it doesn''t display all the fields in the create and edit views. It populates the views with text/char and date types, but omits any integer fields. Is this normal behavior or a bug? Thanks! -Nick

Erwin: We found it''s not worth the time to do this. It won''t work reliably. You''re in for a world of hurt. We''ve given up on the idea after several months of trying (and some great feedback from this list). There are some on this list who claim to have gotten it to work, but that might just be luck. We''re now using Apache on a higher port, and using

Sorry if this is a complete newbish question, but I''m trying to wrap my head around creating custom classes in my rails webapp. I''m normally a Java developer, but I figured I''d give RoR a try and see how I like it, and whether it would be useful for production use with a new client. Anyways, what are the best practices for custom classes? Where and/or how do I create

It was a miserable failure for us. Your best bet is to run on Linux. > 1. Has anyone done any benchmarks with it? Is there any reason this > couldn''t be viable for production loads?

it''s been a nightmare trying to set it up. I keep getting a an Application Error message when I try to navigate to a url which should be taken care of by my newly created controllers. For instance, I wanted to test RoR out so I created a MyTest controller which should allow me to navigate something like: http://localhost/rubytest/MyTest but it does not. I have no problem getting

Is there a place I can get a list of "enterprise" Rails applications? Apparently, even though I''ve looked at the wiki and cited the examples there, there are some at my organization who still can''t find proof that Rails is usable in an enterprise setting. Would you fine folks be able to tell me about some large-scale projects that could be classified as

I have this: <%= @tech_standard.category + " " + @tech_standard.point + "." + @tech_standard.subpoint %> I get this error: cannot convert Fixnum into String point and subpoint are number.

I''m working on a photo gallery and I''m using File_column to handle the uploads of the files and create my thumbnails, but does anyone here have any idea how to have a watermark (opaque text maybe) placed over one of the versions? Any ideas on how to go about this would be great. Even if it''s just straight RMagick code, that would be fine too. Thanks in advance for the

I''m trying to decide which IDE to go with for RoR development. I put a high premium on integrated test automated tools and debugging capabilities. I''d appreciate any sharing of experience. I''m currently running Instant Rails on a Windows 2000 box (using IR due to problems I encountered trying to get all the components set up individually). Also, I''m using

Hey Has anyone got a graphics server running alongside ruby on rails? Kind of new to graphics rendering on a web server, so some general tips on a successful direction to go in would be great. I need it for automatic rescaling of images, similar to flickr. Thanks, RGC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I don''t think there''s a way to do that other than using a proxy (ISAPI_REWRITE) or just a server-side redirect.

Everyone, I have two tables (assuming their most logical types): apartments id address bedrooms bathrooms googlemaps_id googlemaps id url the models: class Apartment < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :googlemap end class Googlemap < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :listing end I would like to find_all by searching the attributes in apartment, and also return the google map

Anyone have a quick solution on how to format a number in a text_field tag? <% text_field "price", "amount" %> returns 100.0 and it would be nice if it showed 100.00 Of course, number_with_precision works nicely, but how do you make that work with text_field? I thought maybe overriding the getter in the model. However, this means I would have to bring the helper

I just spent the last two days trying to get Rails on IIS to work with Windows 2003/IIS 6.0. I think I''ve finally got it working, but it took more googling than I care to describe. Now I''ve got a few questions: 1) Is there some ''official'' Rails on IIS guide on this site on another official ruby site that''s known to work well? 2) If not, can someone

Hi, I understand that the layout concept is very similar to OpenSymphony''s Sitemesh project. I have done a lot of development with Sitemesh, but am fairly new to Rails. I am wondering if there is a way for a layout in rails to find out value of a variable from a page it is decorating? In sitemesh you would be able to do <meta name="show_menu" content="true"> on

I want to use an array in the :conditions of an ActiveRecord Find so that a SQL IN statement is created. However, I also want to specify a greater than condition on a timestamp column too. From the Docs: An array may be used in the hash to use the SQL IN operator: Student.find(:all, :conditions => { :grade => [9,11,12] }) How do I modify this so that it also contains the timestamp
