Hi all, Im working on a copy contact info into project method. Nosing aroundwith IRB I see a hex value. Named Contact:0x40ca01cc #<Contact:0x40ca01cc @attributes={"name"=>"GP-net", "id"=>"7", "lastname"=>"Petersen", "firstname"=>"Gerard"}> Why is it there like that and not in a human readable

Hi all, happily coding along, but it seems a belongs_to record is not saved. # Create some stuff def create_project @contact = Contact.new @project = Project.new(@params[''project'']) @project_contact = ProjectContact.new(@params[''collect'']) @project.project_contact = @project_contact contact =

Hi all, Im slowly moving forward, but there''s something a miss. I can save some relational records to tables, but only once. For an unknown reason, the primary key (id) of the child table is not automatically increased. (I can only perform one save, (the first records id field holds the value ''0'') and during the next save it says: Mysql::Error: Duplicate entry

Hi all, Not completely sure what I''m doing, but I need to get data from another table based on and id. Below is some breakpointer output: irb> @params => {"project"=>{"project_description"=>"point2", "project_name"=>"break2"}, "action"=>"create_project",

Hi all, Can I increase logging so that all vars, form id''s, hashes and what not are visible on a form submit? I know there''s IRB, but I don''t know what I''m looking for, so not what to dig up from the console either. Among other thing info related to AR, since this is something I run into: Mysql::Error: Duplicate entry ''0'' for key 1:

Hi all, For a dropdownlist (showing "Company - FirstName Lastname'') I want to fill an object @project_contacts with "Name" from table Companies and "Firstname" and "Lastname" from table contacts.

Hi all, After working on my first rails app and having handed over some very sophisticated coding from a lot of you guys. My app does what I want it to do, but I''m no where near the end yet, and it seems that the KISS and DRY objectives already went down the drain. It could be lack of knowledge, only doing Ruby on (and) Rails for a month, but I''m stuck on the following:

Hi all, I''m (well was) running rails on debian. After the update to rails 1.1.0 newly created aps run great. But trying to start webrick for an old one makes me cry (see below). Any docs on how to ''migrate'' existing apps to the up and up? Thanx n Grtz Gerard. => Booting WEBrick...

Hi All, Is it necessary to always have a controller per model? Rephrased: Would you end up jumping through hoops in the future if you have a controller called Customer in which you add methods to create new companies as well as new contacts?

Hi all, Does anybody know how to include a partial (next to @content_for_layout) in a layout file? I''m looking for a something like @partial_for_include => ''filename'' in my layout files. So a linked .rhtml file gets picked up from within a layout file. All my layout files (4 at the moment) have a <div class="navright"> tag, so one change in the

Hi all, I''m happily using "HowToReuseEditViewsForNewViews" found at: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToReuseEditViewsForNewViews There''s this comment there saying you only need the tag "<%= auto_form %>" when using the code below. Can somebody tell me if that will work when extending it with model_name (some how)? I have several new_*

Hi all, Installed the login_engine which is working. But I''m confused as to how I tell Rails to use the "/app/views/layout" rhtml files, when partials from the login_engine are used from "/vendor/plugins/login_engine/app/views/user". Do I copy login.rhtml to /app/view/mgmt? (mgmt is a controller name in my app) Along the same line: I also have a nil error on the

Hi all, what would be the easiest way to browse the by ''rake appdoc'' generated html files from within your application? Grtz Gerard -- "Who cares if it doesn''t do anything? It was made with our new Triple-Iso-Bifurcated-Krypton-Gate-MOS process ..." My $Grtz =~ Gerard; ~ :wq!

Hi all, I''ve got this code which is alway the same. In a list it displays a show, edit and destroy icon behind each record. <% for todo in @todos %> <tr valign="top" class="ListLine<%= cycle("0","1") %>"> <td><%=h todo.prio %></td> <td><%=h todo.title %></td> <td><%=

Hi all, Are there any helpers or so for listview routines that suppres the three above mentioned columns? I''m currently exploring something like the code below. But it feels like I''m doing Rails'' work. # just for test purposes <div id="debug"> <% for col in Product.columns.map %> <%= col.name %> - <%= col.type %><br/> <%

All (and kevin), After flying high for a while on Rails things, I''m down to the nitty gritty of Ruby stuff. Messing with vars and printing them out on a web page. I found the controller_path in the API docs; However when putting this in a controller: @test1 = controller_class_name @test2 = controller_name @test3 = controller_path And this in a partial: Test1 <%= @test1

Hi all, The link contains a stingy article on AJAX and other somewhat browser dependant stuff. http://techrepublic.com.com/5254-6257-0.html?forumID=99&threadID=184332&messageID=1963135&id=2926438 Being a webdev myself and also a diehard perfectionist, I could relate to some of it. Let me state that the article does NOT represent my opinion, nor is it to fire up a discussion!! It

Hi all, Been digging to a lot of ruby docs to understand more of what Rails is exactly doing. Can somebody tel me what the difference in use is between the "@params" and "params". (I know the first is a instance variable and the second is a ''normal'' variable. What does this mean in pratical terms? @contact =

undefined local variable or method `controller_path'' Do I need to install anything explicit? For the nosies, I''m looking for (building) a breadcrumb routine (as page independant/DRY-less as possible). Like "mods > crm > customer > add contact" Regards, Gerard -- "Who cares if it doesn''t do anything? It was made with our new

Hi all, I''m trying to build a routine that generates table rows with the appropriate field types (text_area and text_field for now), and filters out the ''created_at'' and ''deleted_at''. <% for column in Project.content_columns %> <tr class="ListLine<%= cycle("0","1") %>"> <td><%=
