similar to: OT -- A "HOWTO" is a guide not a question.

Does anyone have a sense for how painful the 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade is going to be for existing apps? I''m finishing up my first real RoR application with Rails 1.0. I can live with it staying at that level, but I really want to use the has_many :through attribute to clean up some of my code. I''m not particularly interested in edge Rails, mainly because the documentation for

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 just got a Google Groups notification that I had been subscribed to http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk. Looking at the page, it appears that about 4300 folks have been subscribed. However, I saw nothing about this on rails@lists.rubyonrails.org. Wazzup? -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm@cfcl.com

Although I don''t _need_ RSVPs for this event 12/28 8:00 pm The Beer & Pizza SIG will meet at Wild Pepper (3601 26th. St.; SF, CA). For details, see http://cfcl/rdm/beer_and_pizza. I''d like to be able to give the restaurant some idea of the size of table we''ll be needing. So, if you are planning to attend, please drop

I must be missing something obvious here but I cannot seem to see it. I have this step definition: When /entity named "(.*)" has a legal name "(.*)"/ do |name, legal| myentity = Entity.find_by_entity_common_name!(name.hll_keycase) myentity.entity_legal_name.should equal legal.hll_keycase end Which fails with this: And the entity named "Myuser" has a legal

Dear all, If you thought Instiki was a dead project, you were right. Since I''ve got a day job that doesn''t suck (Official Ruby Zealot of ThoughtWorks Canada), my motivation to do open source greatly sufferred :) But... but... but! Here is Instiki 0.11.0, and in this version Instiki is (finally!) moving to ActiveRecord backend and (finally!) has the File Upload feature.

Friends, We have released Ajuby 0.4. Please test drive and let us know how we can improve this further. Would love to address specific problems rather than making a yet-another-framework. We are aiming to fill the gap between Rails (amazing !) and business application development by providing necessary glue services (domain objects, authentication, auditing, extensible ui etc).

Folks: Sorry for the commercial, but I''m excited about this one. I''ve been using TextMate for most of my work for a year now---if you''re on a Mac, it really is the best tool for writing Rails code. So when James Edward Gray II offered to write a book on TextMate, I jumped at it. James helps maintain the Ruby support in TextMate, and this knowledge comes

Hello everyone, I have another question related to a legacy schema I am working with. Do dynamic finders work with legacy schemas in general? The schema I am working with uses hungarian prefixes for column names. For example fOpen is 0 if a bug is closed and 1 if it is open (type smallint). When I try @bugs = Bug.find_all_by_fOpen(1), I get the following exception: undefined method

Am I just blind, or are there no links to the instructions, e.g. the Search syntax or how to get back to a thread I started on RoR? Or do those links, buttons, whatever only show / work in IE? Thanks for any help; sorry if I can''t figure out something I should be able to. jandjharris (at) gmail.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am running Rails 1.1.2 with Ruby 1.82-15. My database is Postgresql. I haven''t had any problems generating models, migrations, using scaffolds, and generally building and using my application, but I haven''t been able to get testing to work. I initially just ignored the problem and kept developing, but would like to add proper testing from here on out. Currently when I type

I''ll be giving a 60 to 90 minute presentation covering Ruby on Rails in the San Francisco bay area. Anyone interested in a quick introduction to Rails is welcome to come. The talk will be focused on Rails, but we''ll also field questions about how the rest of our site (Zvents) works. Here are the event details: http://www.zvents.com/events/show/211380 If you''re

I am looking at using acts_as_versioned to manage revisions of data in several tables in my application. However, the default behavior of acts_as_versioned appears to apply to individual rows within a table. The tables I want to version are complicated lookup tables and what I really want is to version the entire contents of each table as a single set. Adding a row, deleting a row, or updating

I read in various places that although migrations aren''t transactional, all you need to do is wrap you migration method in "ActiveRecord:: Base.connection.transaction do" to make the self.up or self.down transactional. In my experience (Rails + PostgreSQL), this doesn''t work very well. If my migration hits an exception, any tables that were touched remain modified.

Is there any way to tell Rails to send the .html file it renders somewhere other than the web server? I need to save a page to the server''s file system instead of sending it to the user''s browser.

I have a controller method called update_all that grabs parameters for about 30 form fields and saves them to the database. My current code looks to see if there is a string in params[] for each form field (two fields for each SelfEvaluationItem) and saves the updated self_evaluation_answer if a string is available. Since this is iterated code, I am almost certain that this generates 30 or so

Wednesday''s Beer & Pizza SIG was attended by about a dozen Rubyists, plus one extremely well-dressed gentleman (no hacker he!) who was on the prowl for Rubyists to hire. Beer and Pizza (among other things) were consumed, Ruby (among other things) was discussed, and everyone appeared to have a good time. The upcoming SIG will, as announced previously, be held just up the street at

Hello Everyone, I have been reading this mailing list for a while and am impressed with the generous help that many here are eager to provide. Perhaps someone will be able to shed some light on a configuration issue I am having. Thank you in advance for any assistance. First, system setup details: #System Setup# * OS: Fedora Core 4 running in a VMWare box on Windows XP * Database: MS SQL

I have a model (Query) which I use to, of all things, query the database. This is to enable raw SQL access. I want to ensure that db access using this model is read-only. Short of checking the sql query for ''insert'' and ''drop'' and ''update'', is there a more rails-like way of doing this in my app/models/query.rb itself? Thanks in advance,
