similar to: Modifying script generated scaffold output Books/Authors

People, I have gone through the cookbook example: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 and everything worked fine an a FC4/Postgres setup. I then tried to reproduce this success with something that would be useful to me - a library db using books & authors tables. The author list works but NOT the book list (unless I take line #17 out). I get this message:

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",

For a table "clients" there are city, state, and zip fields. However, for some clients we only have a state with no actual address. The following code throws a "You have a nil object" error when outputting my client list. Is there a way around this, short of writing a specific case for each possibility? <%= client.city + '', '' + client.state +

There''s got to be a simple answer: how do you get the IP address of a visitor in Ruby? Any help would be appreciated! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I can''t seem to find my error. I think it''s fairly basic.

Hello All, If I run my unit tests individually using Ruby, they all work correctly. However, if I try to run them using "rake test_units", I get a bunch of error messages. The error messages appear to be caused by rake not loading any of the fixtures into the test database. I am using PostgreSQL on Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks, Bruce. -- Posted via

Gang- 1. Is there anything in Ruby that handles the .properites files similar to the J2EE application servers. Or do I need to define all of the properties as constants? 2. Is there anyway I can load some of my classes (such as singletons) during the startup? I am looking for the startup classes that J2EE containers provide.

Hi all! I have just found something very strange. Let''s imagine that I have posts that belong to an author. If I do the following (the order doesn''t matter): apost.author = Author.find(3) apost.author_id = 2 I get a post that has both an :author_id => 2 attribute, and an associated Author with id 3. Then, post.save, and the author_id in the DB is 3. I think that this

People, In the cookbook eg, categories has_many recipes but in a book eg, book has_one description - doesn''t that mean that the id of the description should be the same as the id of the book (instead of having it''s own "description_id" in the book table?

People, I am using: before_filter :login_required in my Controllers and this works fine. For some tables I am happy to use the output of eg: ruby script/generate scaffold Author but is there some way that I can disable Create, Edit, Destroy for some user logins in the corresponding view?

Hello, This is a semi-complicated question about comparing two datasets, probably using merge, but I am open to other ideas. I have a large frame of information about companies.? It's over 30,000 rows and looks something like... df1 <- identifier1???? identifier2 name other_name year H34 C56 ACME ACME_LTD 2001 H34

People, This is probably simple but I couldn''t find where to change the default 10 records per page for scaffolding . .

Under Rails 2.3.2 using a completely brand new project, I have 2 models: class Author < ActiveRecord::Base # name:string end class Book < ActiveRecord::Base # title:string belongs_to :author # author_id end And a simple test where i create a Book with an Author using the belongs_to and then update the foreign key directly: require ''test_helper'' class BookTest

Regarding validates_associated... Let''s say I have: article belongs_to author But for whatever reason, I want an article to also be written anonymously and therefore not require an author. Then I have: Article: belongs_to :author validates_associated :author But I DON''T have validates_presence_of. What I want to do is validate that an author is valid --if it is
