In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first. Within an actual functional or unit test case, you could simply load them in the proper order, but

I''m thinking about signing up with DreamHost for the base Level 1 $9.95 plan. Does anyone think that''s a bad idea? I''d like to know others thoughts, and who they recommend for RoR hosting? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m just looking into how to connect to Oracle using Rails. I''ve got everything connecting and working as it should. I have a Users table in Oracle: create_table "users", :force => true do |t| t.column "username", :string t.column "created_on", :datetime t.column "email", :string t.column "note", :text

Can someone explain why form helpers appear to bypass any model methods I override for fields that are bound to database fields? It would be great if someone could tell me how to force the form field, etc to call the method instead of looking at the database / attributes collection. Let''s say I have a column called ''price'' in my database table "books"

Sorry if this is a complete newbish question, but I''m trying to wrap my head around creating custom classes in my rails webapp. I''m normally a Java developer, but I figured I''d give RoR a try and see how I like it, and whether it would be useful for production use with a new client. Anyways, what are the best practices for custom classes? Where and/or how do I create

Erwin: We found it''s not worth the time to do this. It won''t work reliably. You''re in for a world of hurt. We''ve given up on the idea after several months of trying (and some great feedback from this list). There are some on this list who claim to have gotten it to work, but that might just be luck. We''re now using Apache on a higher port, and using

Hi fellow railers! We are discussing the possibility of writing a very large application in Rails. By "very large" I mean a framework that would contain a few hundred smaller applications that would need to talk to one big database and have to share some common session data I''d like to get some feedback on some possible ways of doing the following: The application would

it''s been a nightmare trying to set it up. I keep getting a an Application Error message when I try to navigate to a url which should be taken care of by my newly created controllers. For instance, I wanted to test RoR out so I created a MyTest controller which should allow me to navigate something like: http://localhost/rubytest/MyTest but it does not. I have no problem getting

Is there a place I can get a list of "enterprise" Rails applications? Apparently, even though I''ve looked at the wiki and cited the examples there, there are some at my organization who still can''t find proof that Rails is usable in an enterprise setting. Would you fine folks be able to tell me about some large-scale projects that could be classified as

I''m preety new at RoR (and programming), I tried a few tutorials, and really like the RoR simplicity, but my knowledge of the framework still isn''t very good (to be true, i understand the basics, but not everything that''s in the tutorials). But still I''d like to create a website which has: - front end interface (with no edit functions) - admin interface

Hey Has anyone got a graphics server running alongside ruby on rails? Kind of new to graphics rendering on a web server, so some general tips on a successful direction to go in would be great.

I''m trying to decide which IDE to go with for RoR development. I put a high premium on integrated test automated tools and debugging capabilities. I''d appreciate any sharing of experience. I''m currently running Instant Rails on a Windows 2000 box (using IR due to problems I encountered trying to get all the components set up individually). Also, I''m using

I''m working on a photo gallery and I''m using File_column to handle the uploads of the files and create my thumbnails, but does anyone here have any idea how to have a watermark (opaque text maybe) placed over one of the versions? Any ideas on how to go about this would be great. Even if it''s just straight RMagick code, that would be fine too. Thanks in advance for the

I don''t think there''s a way to do that other than using a proxy (ISAPI_REWRITE) or just a server-side redirect.

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

What does everyone on this list think about enhancing scaffolding somehow so that a "has_many" relationship will automatically drop the <select> box into the view to reference the "belongs_to" part of the view? I think scaffolding is great but I am always adding the <select> boxes to reference the parent association. Do you think this would be useful? just a
