similar to: Scaffold shows all attributes altough I use attr_accessible!

Hi, first of all I will apologize in advance for my presumably noobish question, but I''m only starting to learn Rails and am a little confused with all the changes in 2.0.1. There are as good as no tutorials out yet and the 2 or 3 screencasts I''ve seen deal with the creation of both the app and the database. Now my problem is that I already have a database with a fair amount of

Hi All, I''m having some trouble deciding when and how to implement optimistic locking. Let''s say I have a multiuser Rails app, and let''s say it stores, among other things "vital" customer information. The standard methods created by the Rails generate scaffold script look like this: def edit @customer = Customer.find(params[:id]) end

(I posted this as a bug in GitHub (https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/7018), but then someone there told me I should post it here, so here it is.) If you set attr_accessible on some properties in an ActiveRecord-descended class, and then attr_protected on others - the class becomes ''default-open'' - if any properties are missed or added later, they will be accessible by

I understand that ActiveRecord supports the "optimistic offline lock"-pattern through magic fields (created_at, updated_at). However, a scaffolded CRUD-Controller doesn''t generate the necessary code to support this feature (the model state gets lost between two action calls). What is the best practice to prevent users from overwriting objects with outdated data ? --

hi , i used the folllwing command to scaffold, G:\my\webblog>ruby script/generate scaffold webblog id:integer title:string body :text created_at:datetime after when i migrate with the follwing command rake db:migrate i got the error as (in G:/my/webblog) == 1 CreateWebblogs: migrating ================================================ -- create_table(:webblogs) rake aborted!

I didn''t get a chance to go to this meeting debating WebObjects Vs Rails, but here''s a report about it: http://desperatepundit.com/blog/cremes/technology/2006/02/15/WebObjects-versus-Ruby-On-Rails.html I don''t get what he''s saying, hand coding the model? yeah, you COULD ... but what about script/generate ??? And is that so what he said about security? --

Hi all I''m quite unsure what''s the point to have a create and update action in the Rails scaffolds... I guess the developers had good reason to implement them, but I don''t really see the reason for them... Why no just checking for get/post within the same new/edit method? def new unless request.post? # do the normal "new" stuff else # do the

Rails 2.3.5 I am working on a nested form that assigns roles to users through a table called clearances. I have attr_acessable turned off globally in an initializer: ActiveRecord::Base.send(:attr_accessible, nil) I have this set in clearance.rb attr_accessible(:description, :effective_from, :role_id, :superceded_after, :user_id) And this is what params looks like after the

I''ve got a database with several tables. I''d like to create scaffolding for separate CRUD interfaces for several of these tables. I''m hoping that the scaffold generator can create the CRUD code for all these tables in ONE controller, but I don''t know how to tell it to do that, if it can. Can anyone verify if this is possible? Thanks, David -- Posted via

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

I''m following along with the depot example in ''Agile Web Development'' and ran into a problem with Scaffold. I changed the MySQL table structure to add a few columns directly and also tried the migrate script to change the database after I got the initial scaffolding to work. However, I can''t seem to get the new columns to show up and am stumped as to how I can

When you do a scaffold, is there a fast way to force it to let you enter in data for any foreign/primary key fields? Thanks, Ben Lisbakken -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there any reason that foreign key fields do not show in any of the scaffold views ? project table: id serial primary key, category_id integer, user_id integer, name varchar, morestuff varchar foreign key (category_id) references categories(id), foreign key (user_id) references users(id) scaffold generated views only show name, morestuff fields

Hi everyone, I''m a rails & ruby nuby, and this is my first post to the list.

I have two tables: ------------------------------ drop table if exists users; create table users ( id int not null auto_increment, username varchar(100) not null, password varchar(20) not null, firstname varchar(20) not null, lastname varchar(20) not null, primary key (id) ) TYPE = InnoDB; ------------------------------ drop table

I know the scaffold generator is really only useful for beginners and/or very the preliminary state of a project, but I find that I use it a lot (especially, since I am still a beginner). There are a couple of things I find myself tweaking (or wanting to tweak, but never getting around to tweaking) each time I generate a new scaffold: 1) Change the layout from blah.html.erb to

Please guide me how to use those two methods. I can''t differentiate them. I was doing something on my model and I have put one field in the attr_accessible method. After that when I try to run the app the app always says my other fields are blank, but they''re all filled up. What''s wrong with it?

I''m going though the paper back edition of agile development with Rails. On page #128 I encountered following lines of code: attr_accessor :password attr_accessible :name,:password What''s the difference between attr_accessor and attr_accessible? -=- Neeraj _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list

Hi, What''s the difference between attr_accessor and attr_accessible? Is attr_accessor to create a virtual variable/object and attr_accessible makes it accessible? Do you need attr_accessible if you already have attr_accessor?
