I''ve been playing with the new RJS stuff in RoR1.1, and I have to say that I''m am extremely impressed, NICE! work guys. However, I seem to be having a bit of a problem. I promise, I''ve googled the hell out of it and haven''t found an answer. Set up: Putting together a little proof of concept app. Display a form (index.rhtml) that just has a button to

First off, congrats to everyone for getting Rails 2 released. A lot of work went into the release, and it''s good to see us reach this milestone. And now that the release dust has settled, I think it might be useful for us to have a retrospective and evaluate how the release went. I think the Ruby on Rails project has improved a lot this year, and this is another opportunity

when is the next release of rails expected to drop? i''m looking forward to the multiple habtm associations working correctly, among a bunch of other fixes... just curious! -A -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is it will known and accepted that before_save triggers should return true? I didn''t notice this before but now I see it in the documentation. Here is what I''m doing in my model: def before_save if self.has_album? self.visible = self.album.visible? end end That results in the expected result when album.visible? is true - but not when it is false. To make it

Which is more appropriate? @session[] or session[]? Both seem to work. Is there a difference between which should be used in the controller vs. the view?

Hello, http://dev.rubyonrails.org/wiki suggests to: Create a patch with your changes: svn diff > my_properly_named_patch.diff but how this proper name looks like? olegf

What is the most elegant way to save new one-many associations? order = Order.new(:name => "My Order") order.line_items << LineItem.new(:product_id => 1, :quantity => 2) order.line_items << LineItem.new(:product_id => 2, :quantity => 5) order.save The above - which is by far the most elegant way of putting it - doesn''t work for me - the line_items

The revised patch submitted on #4748 broke the build, I''m looking to sort out why. Also note that this auto-test email didn''t make it to rails-core because it was too big (every test failed, so the resulting email was huge). I''ll patch my auto-testing script to truncate the email to no larger than a few kb. Michael Schoen wrote: > "marcel" made

I tried the current Typo trunk with Edge Rails (1.1.0 RC1) and ran into the following problems: 1) /public/../config/environment.rb:107: undefined method `enable_upload_progress'' for ActionController::Base:Class (NoMethodError). I commented this line out and installed the Upload Progress plugin and this problem _appears_ to have gone away. 2) The second problem I

I''ve been attempting to add a simple rjs ''delete'' method to my project. However, no matter what I try, it simply doesn''t work. Even the easy, easy stuff seems broken. (Yes, <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> is being included in the template.) For example, from: http://www.codyfauser.com/articles/2005/11/20/rails-rjs-templates VIEW: <h1

I am building an invoicing system but cannot use the auto_increment field to determine the invoice number (because they are running 3 different companies off the one system. I need to find the last invoice number from any given company and then add 1 to it to get the next invoice number. BUT, there is a unique case on the very first invoice produced because there is no earlier invoice

I didn''t get the memo on this :P members_controller.rb:12: warning: Object#id will be deprecated; use Object#object_id Line 12 is: @member = Member.find(@current_member.id) How _should_ I be writing that line? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I started with Ruby on Rails in the 0.13.x period, so I''m sure I missed out on a lot of history. There''s probably some good explanation for something I''ve been wondering about, but I haven''t seen it written down anywhere. Maybe someone can clue me in. I''ve always felt that one of the uglier APIs was the ActiveRecord::find() method. I call

I just saw Marcel''s change to assert_difference that changes the method API to take a string param that is evaled in a lambda. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/6693 I much preferred the old API, since it''s simple enough to pass a lambda. Passing a string means the lambda is in the wrong scope and doesn''t have access to objects in the test case scope. For an

Hi all, I was wondering about the class used when rails receives file uploads. Sometimes it appears to be a File, and other times it is a StringIO. Also it has methods such as original_filename that don''t appear to belong to either of these classes. I ask because I''m trying to work out how to test my fil upload related models and controllers. Is there some standardised way of

There was some discussion on this list recently about doing .rcss templates in Rails using a custom template handler. I''ve come up with a very simple way to support rcss without a handler. Turns out all it takes is a route and an action that calls render(:file...). I put a full write-up on my blog earlier today:

This is probably more of a Ruby question than a Rails question. I''ve always wondered exactly how controller instance variables are being made accessible to the ERb code in the views. In the Agile Rails book on pages 38, there''s a sidebar at the top that hints at what''s going on: "Rails does some Ruby magic so that the instance variables of the controller

I''m trying to work with a many-to-many relationship, but the join table needs to have a is_primary field. What is the best way to work with this (adding / changing primary / deleting)? I understand that the :through option in Edge Rails can handle this better, but I was just wondering if there was a good way to handle this with Rails 1.0. Thanks, Kyle

I''ve got the following setup: category (hm) <-> (bt) activity An activity has an amount, date, location, note, and category. I''m sorting my activities table by category_id (foreign key in activity), but how do I sort it by category_name instead? Basically I just need category_name in the result set. Here''s what I have now: @all = Activity.find(:all, :order
