I have two models: A "Posting" has_many "Categories", and a "Category" belongs_to one "Posting". With that said, in the posting model I have "has_many :categories" and within the

A posting habtm categories, and a category habtm postings. class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :postings end class Posting < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :categories end In my blog_controller, where the actual posting is saved, is where I think I''m

I''m trying to create a simple authentication system but am failing miserably. I''m (sort of) following the "Logging In" chapter of the Agile book.

Hi, Does anyone else have any problems with Safari and in place editor fields? I''m specifically talking about trying to save a null value in a text box. In Firefox/IE/Camino/etc... saving a null value from an in place editor works how it''s supposed to. If the value is null, then ''click to edit'' is displayed. However with Safari when a null value is saved,

Hi there, I just bought the Rails Recipes and PDF preview of the book. So far it''s excellent. I decided to try Chapter 8 of the book regarding tagging.

Hi there, I''ve been digging around trying to find some information (mostly examples) on how one would handle a progress bar upload using BackgrounDRb and File Column. I did read http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/ and Ezra''s blog of course, but I still have a few questions. I made a simple upload form (as a test) that is submitted to the "upload_song" action. def

Hello there, I have something odd happening to my image tags when displaying an image. Here''s what my ''<img src>'' tags are looking like: <img alt="2-thumb" src="/images/public/uploaded_images/2-thumb.jpg?" /> Notice the question mark at the end of the string. I have no idea where this coming from. Here are the important parts of my

Hi there, I''m having a bit of an issue with my before_filter. I know that the filters put in the application.rb controller are global for all the controllers. In my application filter I''d like to allow access to the RSS feed method in a ''member'' controller and skip the login checks that the before_filters are currently performing. In my application my filters

Hi, In my user_controller.rb, I have the following method, which is supposed to send the user to their profile, dependng on what "role" they are (the roles correspond to the other controllers: venue, band, fan): def login if request.post? if session[:user_id] = User.authenticate(params[:user][:login], params[:user][:password]) flash[:message] =

Hi, I have a user model that has a couple of other models(like street address, tasks). suppose User has a name field Address has a state field. so I want to provide a detailed search form each field in the user and its related models can be specified.

Hi all, I''ve been trying to install GraphicsMagick with RMagic. I''ve tried ImageMagick with RMagic as well. I''ve tried the installations using Darwin Ports, Gems and from source.

Hi, I''m trying to test my ad_controller. In order to create an ad, the user has to be logged in, so I have written a login() that logs in a valid user and generates a session[:user_id], like: def login (login="bob", password="atest") post "user/login", :user => { :login => login, :password => password } assert_response 302 # redirect

I have a question about regarding the use of ''has_one'' in this scenario: Schema: User ---- id first_name last_name UserMessage ---- user_id message_id Message ---- id Assuming business rules dictate that a Message can have at most ONE User (let''s assume a message can be created without a user associated to it), these are my questions: 1) How would I use has_one

Hi there, I''ve been trying to paginate over a list of members that all share a tag in common using the acts_as_taggable plugin. The regular way of paginating over a collection doesn''t seem to work with acts_as_taggable. Here''s what my method looks like that takes in a tag name, finds all the members that share the tag and then displays all the members. Nothing too fancy

Hello all, I''m very new to Rails and I love it so far. However, there are some things that aren''t so clear to me. Let''s say a blog post can have many comments, and a comment can only belong to one post. A user can have many posts and many comments as well. (this part makes perfect sense): class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :posting belongs_to :user

2 quick questions regarding authentication ... 1) the flash[:notice] on successful login looks completely wrong to me. How should it be done? def index if request.post? @user = User.new(params[:user]) authentic_user = @user.attempt_login if authentic_user session[:user_id] = authentic_user.id flash[:notice] = ''Login successful!
