similar to: Autocomplete howto?

Hi - I''ve just started working with Rails, having come from a Cold Fusion background. I''m curious how best to deal with a huge result set. For example, I''m building an app that contains users. I''ve used scaffolding to setup my initial pages for CRUD operations on users. All that is great. The problem is, I''m going to end up with 1000+ users in

Hi, I''ve got a live_search field in a partial that is on several different pages. On all pages, except 1, it works fine. On the page it doesn''t work on, it seems it never executes it action. Here''s my observe_field code inside the partial: <h1><label for="searchtext">Live Search:</label></h1> <%= text_field_tag :searchtext

Works fine but when you use backspace or delete on the search word and it hits 0 characters it displays ALL the Test names in the database! def live_search @phrase = request.raw_post || request.query_string a1 = "%" a2 = "%" @searchphrase = a1 + @phrase + a2 @results = Test.find(:all, :conditions => [ "test_name LIKE ?", @searchphrase])

I have some difficulties with text_field_with_auto_complete. I’m new to this, it just will not work, I must be doing something wrong. It would be great if someone could advise me. I have tried to follow advice available on the internet, so I don’t know what the problem is. The script gets as far as the breakpoint in the controller, but it doesn’t like the next line – giving the error message

I just got a new Debian Sarge server and followed the brainspl.at "Debian Lighttpd Rails Stack" tutorial. The only place I deviated was the version of Lighty. The page uses 1.4.7 and I spotted that 1.4.10 was available. I installed that and couldn''t get anywhere. Lighty died on first access from the test rails app, and even from a ultra basic static config. No log,

I am seeing a problem with text_field_with_auto_complete in which the input does not get populated with the selected value, but only in firefox (1.5.0.4). Works in IE just fine. I have a super-simple mockup that shows this problem below. Can anyone please confirm for me that this does/does not work in firefox or point out my mistake? I''m wondering if I need to submit a bug? The example

Hi, Has anyone gotten the "roughcuts" of the Ruby and Rails cookbooks? If you have the Pragmattic Rails Cookbook is the O''Reilly worth it? Also can you download PDF''s of their "roughcuts". The website is kind of vague, it just mentions online access (whatever that means). Thanks in advance.

I use Oracle and i really want to use migrations, but there seems to be no way to setup foreign key constraints. Is this true? If it is then doesn''t that make migrations useles with Oracle? Thanks Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I has several model objects that flow down like a tree: Class1 has_many Class2 Class2 has_many Class3 and so on. when are the child records actually created? If I do: c1 = Class1.find(:all) are the child objects (C2s below) created then or not until i do something like: c2s = c1.C2s while iterating through the c1s? If the form, that''s cool, no problem, but If I''ve got

Hi All, I''ve tried to do my searches, but can''t find reference to this anywhere - My question is about ActiveRecord inserts and IDs. I have a join table that both the models of the source tables join with "has_and_belongs_to_many". It seems like ActiveRecord is setting the "id" field for the join table- This should be an auto_increment and

I''ve read the stuff about polymorphic associations here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/UnderstandingPolymorphicAssociations But I''m not sure what exactly they are and what their advantage is. Are they the same as HABTM, but they''re "two-way"? Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there any work being done to add support for defining foreign keys in ActiveRecord Migrations? If not is it something that people would find useful or do most people here believe in the "Application Database" style over the "Integration Database" style [1] as defined by Fowler? I''d love to see support for foreign keys in Migrations. For selfish reasons

I know that Mongrel is a web server that hosts rails applications. But i don''t understand what part Lighttpd (or Apache) has in the setup. I know that you can use Mongrel on its own. What does Lighttpd improve on? Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Just thought it was weird that Ruby doesn''t automatically cast ints to floats. Seems so un-rubyish irb(main):006:0> 12/16 => 0 irb(main):007:0> 12.to_f / 16.to_f => 0.75 Jeroen
