similar to: Putting it all in one place with Schemas

THE SCHEMA IN THE MODEL a small write up on ''putting the schema in the model'' This is a write up on an issue best covered in a mailing list thread of Januari 2006 (see the links in the text), I repost it because I think it deserves a place on the agenda. == Why? == I was switching back and forward between the model files and the schema.rb -- off course I have

Hi, I just wrote an article on how to easily create a REST API for Ruby on Rails applications: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/04/19/rest-on-rails.html It describes how to create everything from the ground up and includes information on testing your API too. -- Thanks, Dan Kubb

I''ve noticed in the source code that Mongrel handles the IF_UNMODIFIED_SINCE header. I thought this rather odd, since IF_UNMODIFIED_SINCE is generally only useful with PUT. Even more odd is that there is no mention of IF_MODIFIED_SINCE in Mongrel which is useful with GET (although not as useful as IF_NONE_MATCH of course). Is this a bug in Mongrel? -Tim

Does anyone have an example of using REST and submitting data through a POST operation and then possibly loading that data with activerecord. Also, if you have client code written in another language (java,.net, C), would you have that code as well? Berlin Brown

I''ve run into an issue with my rails application being unable to properly set cookies on Mongrel 0.3.18. If I run the simplified code below in Mongrel 3.14.4, both cookies are properly sent to and saved by the browser. With the same code in 0.3.18, only the auth_token cookie is created (if I switch them, only the userid as it will only properly create the first cookie in the list.)

So, I''m working on adding iCal support to my app. Since I want to restrict users to their own calendars, form-based authentication isn''t going to work, so I''m using the Basic HTTP Authorization from this page - http://blogs.23.nu/c0re/stories/7409/ Everything works fine in my dev machine, but on the server (Site5), I get the login prompt ad infinitum. Has anyone run

Folks: I''ve posted a really basic e-mail address verifier to http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/VerifyEmailAddress I''d appreciate folks who understand DNS and SMTP having a look at it to see if it looks reasonable. You could comment here or, possibly more usefully, comment on the wiki page itself. Thanks Dave

Greetings all, This is the first release of the SuperImage plugin. The idea is you upload images to the database, and then pull them out at any size you want. Combine this with caching and it will stay light and fast. More info and instructions are here: http://beautifulpixel.textdriven.com/articles/2006/04/27/superimage-plugin-making-resizeable-uploaded-images-easy svn:

Hello all After being told of a funky date validator I will ask again for another validator :) Does anyone know of a plugin that validates that a field is the correct syntax for an IP Address? Thanks Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi. I''m using Apache2.2 built from source + mod-proxy + ssl + svn. Everything works fine but I''m sure you I could disable a ton of modules during the build process and in httpd.conf to speed things up and run a tighter memory footprint. Has anyone bothered building Apache2.2 from source disabling all the unneeded modules. I am planning on going through the Apache docs but I

Reading the Agile book, I can''t find a single command to save a collection. The save command seems to operate on only individual objects. Lets say I have a collection that I have received from a find_all command. I want to go through and change some attributes in various objects in the collection. Then I want to resave the whole collection back to the database. I don''t think

I am trying to understand why Mongrel so forcefully disables http pipelining. The docs say because the spec is unclear, and it hurts performance. These reasons smell... wrong. The HTTP spec is pretty clear, and, er, I cannot find anywhere else that claims there is a performance drawback, and lots of studies (and personal benchmarks across years of writing webapps) showing how much it

If a view file cannot be compiled (eg it has a block with a missing ''end'' statement), I''m experiencing WSODs - the browser reports a lost network connection, rather than the helpful compilation error that we used to have. When the compilation fails, ActionView#compile_template raises this error : TemplateError.new(find_base_path_for(file_name || template), file_name ||

Hello all, I am curious about what tools you guys use to make your databases. I know David uses CocoaMySQL. Are there other tools for other platforms and for other databases? I''m not very good with the SQL language, so I would like being able to do all my database setup with an easy-to-use tool (defining tables, fields, primary keys, foreign keys, indexes, etc.) Big kisses, Vincent.

Hello, I''m learning A.R Associations by creating a simple forum that consists of 3 tables: ahuthors, topics and posts. This is the schema: class AddAuthorAndTopicAndPostTables < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :authors do |t| t.column :username, :string t.column :email, :string t.column :created_on, :datetime end create_table

Hi, Everything is in the title. With Rails 2.3.4 and MySQL 5.0.41: If have a table like this: +----------------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL |

Running ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin is a wonderful way to set up well, exactly what it says, a scaffold. My problem is that I have several other tables that are linked, through foreign keys, to the Product table. Say an "authors" table. Now when I go enter a new product, a book, I want the application to provide a drop down list of authors generated from the records in

303 (See Other) is the status code a resource returns to tell the client about the new resource it just created (typically after a POST). 301/302 is the status code some servers return to tell the browser where to go next. It works because browsers ignore the distinction and treat all three status codes the same way, and few people understand the difference. But when developing an application

Hi, I''m setting up a site that will bill on a monthly basis. I would rather not have to worry about storing customer credit card information. Does anyone have recommendations on payment processors that offer monthly billing services? I don''t want to go the paypal route as I want the user to stay on the site. I''m hoping to find an API to integrate with. I have

Hello, Hope this isn''t a newbie question - but I don''t seem to be able to find relevent information elsewhere. I am having trouble getting the following to work: Schema ====== ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 1) do create_table "authors", :force => true do |t| t.column "name", :string end create_table "books", :force =>
