Hello, I have table called ''listings.'' There are a certain combination of properties which make a listing viewable (e.g., it is confirmed, has been authorized, hasn''t expired, etc.). Each listing has one and only one category. I want to be able to do things like Listing.find_viewable(...) and Category.find(...).viewable_listings, but I see no way to do this

Hi Folks! I''m new in the forum and i have a doubt. The button back function with the Ajax on Rails? tks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to use a partial from within Markaby. I haven''t been able to figure out how to access a parameter passed into the partial. Here''s the code I''m using: h1 "Create a new note" if @note render :partial => ''form/errors'', :record => @note end ... (that snippet, as well as the partial is stolen shamelessly from Restolog

I am designing an application to run a fishing tournament I am hosting. Each fish entered will be given a point total based on the length of the fish and the species of fish. Each species has a point multiplier. For Example Trout have a multiplier of 10 so a 20 inch Trout would have a score of 200. My conundrum is in where and when do I calculate the points. The options I have come up

Hi, An absolute newbie to RoR, I''m currently going through a few of the excellent tutorials that are available on the subject. One of these includes running a script for creating a mySQL table. In the command prompt (XP), I try mysql depot_development <db/create.sql but get the following error: ''mysql'' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Hi All, I wonder how I can get rails to update just one field when I do Myfile.save. Right now this happens when I do a Myfile.save: UPDATE myfiles SET `folder_id` = 0, `filesize` = 1, `data` = ''2f7573722f6c6f63616c2f6d ... f7061636b65743d33324d'', `user_id` = 0, `date_modified` = ''2006-01-11T23:33:57+0100'', `filename` = ''mysqlscripts.sql''

Question for you all is it possible to use an action in an if statement? I am using the same form for edit and new and I have a cancel button on the page. This cancel button is built with an if statement that looks right now to see if a parameter exists to define where to go back to if the user cancel. The problem occurs when the user submits the form and there are missing fields by

Hi all, I have deployed my Ruby On Rails application on TextDrive. At first everything seamed to be fine. However, lately, response time of my application is incredible slow. Worse, lately there is also a lot of downtime. I have contacted their support desk, however, they do not respond (at all, or very, very late). Has anyone else these experiences with TextDrive? And if so, what did you do

I''m having a problem getting the text area the size I want it to be. In my view at the top I have this init calls <script type="text/javascript" > tinyMCE.init({ mode: "textareas", theme: ''advanced'', theme_advanced_toolbar_location: ''top'' }); </script> Then in my form: <%= text_area

A client of mine has a ton of data stored in Excel spreadsheets. I''m building a web application for her (backed by a real db of course) and want to import all that data. Is there a library available to read data from Excel? Is there an easy way to upload the spreadsheets and then read the data? Thanks, Ken Kousen -- Kenneth A. Kousen, Ph.D. President Kousen IT, Inc.

Hello All, I''m trying to capture the exception message that my server application is providing in response to my Ajax.Request. However, I''m confused as to when onFailure is fired vs. onException. The onException handler has access to the javascript exception object and I''d understood that it was only called when the dispatch fails. Not sure what exactly that means

I''m playing around with Markaby and I decided to write a little blog app. I''m running into issues with forms however. If I use form_for the output of the form gets swallowed. For example: form_for :article, @article do |f| f.text_field :title f.check_box :published f.text_area :description f.text_field :pub_date f.text_area :content end gets rendered as an empty form

I realise that this is kind of a basic question but I''m new to rspec and still trying to work out how to do things. I''m working on a rails project that requires basecamp integration via the api, which is fairly trivial to use via the basecamp.rb wrapper: Connection: basecamp = Basecamp.new(APP_CONFIG[''api_host''], APP_CONFIG[''api_username''],

I want to combine a selection of data from two tables and display it as list. Note that this isn''t a join. i''m looking for something like this: Table 1: Sheep Name, Age, Farmer, etc. (sheep specific columns) Table 2: Cows: Name, Age, Farmer, etc. (cow specific columns) For my display I nneed something like this: Farmer Jone''s Livestock: TYPE NAME AGE Cow

I created a form with two collection_select, country and state and would like to bring up to date the state list when to select a new country. How I can make this in Rails? Thanks Eleudson Brazil <p><label for="person_country_id">Country</label><br/> <%= collection_select(:person, :country_id, @countries, :id, :name) %></p> <p><label

It would appear that using :include on a model that has_many with an :order on another model makes it so that the order is ignored. Is this supposed to happen? Strikes me as odd behavior. For example class Farmer < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :cows, :order => ''position'' end class Cow < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_list :scope => :farmer end If I do

I''m looking for a good web-based to do list app. Essentially, I''d like to use Basecamp''s todo management system, but that''s not an option since I can''t install Basecamp on a server I own. The information being tracked in the list cannot be sent out of my intranet. I would imagine that there are a couple of open source rails apps that would meet my

Hello guys, I have these models class Farmer < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :cows end class Cow < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name :cows belongs_to :farmer end ... graph = Farmer.find(x) # Retrieves four cows of x graph.cows[1].name = "Trottolina" graph.save while adding a new cow to collection works perfectly fine, ActiveRecord doesn''t
