While I was trying to port one application from Rail 2 to Rails 3 I''ve noticed that helper methods used for rewriting URL paths are not called. Methods are defined in app/helpers/url_helper.rb: module UrlHelper def story_pah(story) "/story/#{story.title}" end end This method, when called inside of view instead of: story/1 creates path story/story_title. I order to

Hi All: I''m writing my 1st Rails app and I can''t seem to find the answer on the web or in the book. I''m making a table, and I want to be able to expand a filename.

Hi all, I''ve set up RailsCron to send email reminders on a daily basis. My dev environment is Rails trunk on Debian Sarge, lighttpd running as a regular user. I''m having two issues: 1) When I run "rake cron_start", I get rake aborted! undefined method `blank?'' for "":String The "blank?" method is provided by Rails, so I''m

Here''s a question for those well-versed in rforum or engines -- or both, ideally :) I''ve spent some time today turning RForum into an engine, using rails 1.0, engines trunk, and rforum 0.1 (as rforum trunk didn''t appear to work out of the box). My rforum engine works, but only when I do two things that I found by trial and error: 1) All rforum controllers subclass

I wasn''t sure where to email this request, so I am hoping the author of file_column actually sees this. I was wondering if there were any plans to allow some configurability in the file_column plugin. By configurability I mean allowing the developer to define which table column is used as the unique identifier when creating image folders. Right now it seems like it uses the ID of the

Hi Tom, I noticed this message from you saying that you can use ActionMailer to efficiently do high volume mailing systems. I need to create something that mails out once a day to all my users status updates. But I must admit I don''t see how you can make ActionMailer do all these efficiences you state since it''s API is so limited. Specifically I don''t see how to NOT

I have controller that processes data in one table and puts results in another. Now that its'' working, I would like to be able to run it from the command line ( read: windows batch file).

I''m using bundled_resource, login_engine, and a few other plugins. It appears Rails considers plugins in alphabetic order. Turns out that there is a particular order that will work and alphabetic ain''t it. The login engine must be loaded first. Bundled resource then includes ''application_helper'' and the application helper includes LoginEngine. If

Howdy RailsWarriors, Its probably dead easy but I don''t see it. Got this in my controller. def new_computer User.find(params[:id]).computers.create(:comp => ''New Comp:'') end Which with an .rjs template creates a div at the bottom of my list. This all works like a charm. But in the partial I load in my rjs I also have a button for ''delete'' in the

Hi, I''m looking for a way to extend one of my models to allow some level of abstraction between what goes into it and how it is stored. For example, say I have a Product and I want to set it''s price. A person using the website will type the price in euros. Internally, I''d like to store the price as an integer value of cents. I can currently do this with some ugly code

After an ajax insertion in the dom, it seems the browser don''t refresh its knowledge of the page. The source of the page is identical after the insertion, whereas the display is correct.
