Is there some way to have these two sets of URLs use totally different controllers and templates? categories/list categories/show/1 admin/categories/list admin/categories/edit/1 admin/categories/destroy/1 admin/categories/update/1 Besides, of course, using different controller names ;). The first URL is publicly accessible, while the second contains admin functions. Also, with the second,

I''ve looked through the docs and the wiki and can''t figure out how to go about generating select options and the update function for an item that has a HABTM relationship. I have a ''parks'' table and the park model has a HABTM to the ''states'' table. On the park edit page, I''d like a multiple select box to appear with all states show,

Is there an easy way to deal with nil properties in templates? All I''m aware of are these methods, and it''s quite tedious and surely violates DRY. <%= @member.name unless @member.name.nil? %> <%= @member.name.to_is %> <%= "#{@member.name}" %> csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Is there a way to do this in a view? <% redirect_to ''http://url.com'' %> All I can think of is outputting a link and using Javascript to click it, or probably do something like ''doc.location(url)''. csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

With a hash such as: stuff = {''1''=>''desc 1'', ''2''=>''desc 2'', ''3''=>''desc 3''} options_for_select(stuff) will output: <option id="desc 1">1</option> <option id="desc 2">2</option> <option id="desc 3">3</option>

I have a feeds controller which generates RSS and Atom pages. I put ''caches_page :show'' in it. The problem is that the pages are saved with an html extension. As a result, browsers display the cached feeds as HTML rather than XML, and feed validators complain. There''s an option to set ''Base.page_cache_extension'' globally, but I don''t want

I currently have a dedicated server at ev1servers, but it''s getting rather antiquated (Redhat 9) and am looking to upgrade. I''m thinking about serverbeach.com - one of their CentOS servers. Anybody have any recommendations for dedicated servers on which to run Rails? Hopefully less than $200/month. Thanks! CSN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

With this route: map.connect ''items/:subject/:id'', :controller=>''items'', :action=>''show_redirect'', :requirements => {:subject => /.+/, :id => /\d+/} Is it possible to have it match these URLs: items/biology/123 items/chemistry/234 items/math/456 But not these: items/new items/list ... The problem is that :requirements only

In my item upload view I have: <%= file_field ''item'', ''file'' %> and in my Item model: def file @file #@file.original_filename # <- also tried this end def file=(file) @file=file end And if the upload bails because of errors (and renders the same page), all other fields (text_field, text_area, etc.) retain their inputted values, but the file

I''m getting this error in Rails: undefined method `include'' for #<MenusController:0x408efd1c> The offending code is: require "rexml/document" include REXML I see there may be a problem with GCC 4 on OSX, but I''m using Redhat with GCC 3.2. http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/articles/2005/12/22/is-gcc-4-0-incompatible-with-ruby-on-os-x-and-elsewhere

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

Anybody else experiencing problems accessing ruby-forum.com ? For the past week or so I''ve mostly not been able to access it. It either never loads, or displays a 500 error message.

Is there a quick and easy way to paginate something like @member.items (Member with has_many :items)? Right now I do in the controller: @item_pages, @member_items = paginate :item, :conditions=>["member_id=?", @member.id], :per_page=>25, :order=>''datetime desc'' It''d be more DRY if this was possible: @item_pages, @member_items = paginate

Hi All, Just about to set up RoR on our server and was wondering what the ideal setup for RoR is these days? Apache 1? Apache 2? fCgi? Any guidance would be helpful! Thanks, -Adam

With observers, you have to do (according to AWDWR): ItemObserver.Instance What is ''.Instance''? I''ve looked in both the Rails and Ruby docs and don''t see any mention. I presume it''s like ''new''? thanks csn -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I want to be able to find items according to various params - category_id, member_id, type_id, rating, etc. What I have now is something like: if(@params[''category_id'']) @items=Item.find(:all, :conditions=>["category_id=?", @params[''category_id'']) elsif(@params[''category_id''] and @params[''member_id''])

This is probably more a Ruby question, but somebody here probably knows ;). Is there some handy Ruby or Rails library that can get data from other sites (like Amazon and Flickr) via REST, then return it in nice arrays, hashes, objects, etc.? I''ve searched quite a bit and haven''t been able to really find anything. There is a ruby-amazon library, but it''s for an older

>From the docs: "Note that any fields in the join table will override matching field names in the two joined tables. As a consequence, having an "id" field in the join table usually has the undesirable result of clobbering the "id" fields in either of the other two tables." I do have an ID field in the join table, and as a result it''s clobbering the ID
