So somehting like <% for model_association in project.risks %>

Hello everyone! Ive been on rails for the last month or so and really enjoyed this framework. However its very hard to find documentation on how to do things right! For example every beginner after a while realizes that having similar CRUD actions in every controller and views for them is not DRY at all! Few days ago I found http://dereksivers.com/rails-shared-controller.html I quite like his

Hiall, I have the following problem: I need to use forms containing collections (i will call them FCC), and I want to construct them dynamically, as I need to deal with quite large forms (more than 600 input fields). The variables @model_name and @field_name contain the proper model and field names as strings, which is enough for "normal" form input fields. (i.e. the "if

Hi guys, I just started using Ruby on Rails. After implementing the RoR blog tutorial I started with my own data model. Sadly I am not able to get my create page running. Model: class Activity < ActiveRecord::Base validates :activity, :presence => true validates :forKids, :presence => true validates :start_date, :presence => true end Controller: class ActivitiesController <

Hi, I''d like to do a "find_by_sql" without a model (e.g. <model name>.find_by_sql("...")) as the results I get back are a once off special, and I''m happy to handle them as an array. How do I do this? "ActiveRecord::Base.find_by_sql(...)" does not seem to work? Background - At the moment I''m doing within a model <model_name>,

Where can I find more information about the new syntax on these: <%- model_class = @product.class -%> <h1><%=t ''.title'', :default => t(''helpers.titles.new'', :model => model_class.model_name.human, :default => "New #{model_class.model_name.human}") %></h1> <%= render :partial =>

Hello. I have a program that accesses a metadata (translation) table for column names as well as the ordering of columns for a specific model. Also in there is a collection of bool options such as column_visible_on_form, column_visible_on_screen_quicklist etc. The idea is that our customer can specify to a certain extent how their layout/user interface will appear. To accomplish this, I use

Hi everyone, I''m trying to use ajax to update the selected value of a select element. Here''s what I have so far: function RailsModel(model_name) { this.model_name = model_name; } RailsModel.prototype.getAttributeById = function(attribute, id) { Ajax.Request(''/models/get_attribute_by_id/'' + this.model_name + ''/'' + attribute +

Hi there, I have a list of models (about 600 glm models) and I included the prefix "mod_" on their name. Now I would like retrieve the list from the R environment and save their AICs (and other info) on a table. I´m trying something like: ------------------------- y<-runif(20,min=0,max=1) x1<-runif(20,min=0,max=1) x2<-runif(20,min=0,max=1) mymod_1

Being a bit of a neat freek, I would like to organize the models in my Rails app into modules. I have created the directory structure as follows: models |- module1 |- mymodel.rb And my model class code is: module Module1 class Mymodel ...some stuff end end How do I include this model in my controllers without referencing it as "Module1::Mymodel"? Also, how do I

File_column plugin is great. I need to change the default :store_dir from the dynamic "model_name/attribute_name" to an equally dynamic "client_id/app_id/model_name/attribute_name". In my model I have: class Component < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :component_type belongs_to :component_group breakpoint file_column :content, :magick => { :versions

I now have two specs in my rails project which correspond to one rails controller. I can run them individually and they pass, but running them together (either with the rake task just putting both files on the command line): euclid% spec spec/controllers/crud_resource_controller_spec.rb spec/ controllers/crud_resource_controller_with_join_models_spec.rb

I''m trying to get a collection_select generated Drop-down box to display two fields from a table (first name & last name); however, I am having trouble concatenating the symbols. It appears as though any code I put in the 5th argument for collection_select is processed prior to executing the collection_select method. The code executes successfully with 1 symbol in the 5th

I''m doing very well with the Hibbs Rolling on Rails tutorial. I have an easy question for my personal notes. I''m coming up with a simple framework of steps for creating a basic database. It includes the following maxims to make original app creation easy: app_name = MySQL database name SQL_tablename = model_name model_name = controller-name Is this going to work for getting

Hi, I''m doing a <model_name>.update(....) but I''m noticing that my before_update callback is not being called. If I do a find and then a save!, I notice that it is called. The problem with a find and save in my case is that I''m not able to set all my attributes in one shot by saving params["user"] and since I can''t do this, my overloaded

I''m working on a library similar to acts_as_taggable. I''d like it to be a simple, one file drop-in: i.e., put my_library.rb into RAILSROOT/lib/ and have everything work. However, the library requires a controller to render some stuff, so I need to be able to create the controller class, set the routing, and extend the controller at run-time from within my_library.rb. I have code

I''m trying to figure out how to use modules with my model classes. I''m going to have good number of model classes that don''t map to the database, and I''d like to put some of these in seperate modules. I''ve been wrestling with this for 2 days and can''t figure out how to get it to work. Rails seems to handle it fine for controllers, though. I

Hi, I''m successfully using the realtime_form_validation plugin from http://railsrtv.rubyforge.org/ However, my forms contain collections, as described in the AWDWR book.

In ActionDispatch::PolymorphicRoutes, there is a call to build_named_route_call an on line 172 (of latest rails code from github), there is a call to singular_route_key: model_name_from_record_or_class(parent).singular_route_key Now model_name_from_record_or_class returns an ActiveModel::Name object, which is a wrapper to the string class, that returns a string name of the class of an

Hello, I''m working on a rails 3 app for a legacy oracle db. I have a controller that saves object graphs (accepts_nested_attributes_for) but I noticed the post-update JSON response still contains the pre-update values. After some debugging, it appears the database connection is returning stale values (find(), reload(), etc., all return pre-update values; but SQL clients and
