Hello, I''m trying to use rmagick in a helper script (for auto-generating image sizes) and I''m not sure where I should be calling ''require''. currently I have: require ''RMagick'' at the top of my controller: class FilmsController < ApplicationController require ''RMagick'' but that''s giving me an error:

Hi, I just signed up so ''hello everybody''. As the title suggests, I was wondering if there was an easy way to specify that I want all actions/controls to be based upon a particular parameter rather than :id (in this case :unique_name). I don''t :id to appear in URLs or elsewhere, I want it all to work from :unique_name. It seems like something that I should be able to

Hi there, in one of my templates I have the following code: <% for film in @artist.films %> <h3>films</h3> <p><%= link_to film.title, :controller => ''films'', :action => ''showfilm'', :animate_title => film.animate_title, :page => ''synopsis'' %></p> <% end %> however if I do: <%=

Hi there, I''m having some trouble working out where/when I can define template variables. I have a standard.rhtml layout template which is used across the application as the main xhtml wrapper. Inside there is some code like this: <div id="<%= @layout_style %>"> <%= @content_for_layout %> </div> Now content_for_layout always works fine, but

does anyone know of a way to make the date_helper deal with mysql dates with 00 values in them? I have lots of dates that are like the following: 2005-04-00 2005-00-00 and I need to set null values in a date_select for elements that are 00. These are valid dates in mysql. In the absence of an immediate solution to the above, I''ve been trying to find out how InstanceTag.new works so I can

Hi, I''ve been prying my way around form helpers and I need to do something very similar to date_select. I was thinking I might be able tailor it to suit my purposes and then came upon InstanceTag.new with a call to_date_select_tag at the end. I can''t find any mention of these anywhere else - can anyone give me any pointers as to what these two things do? thanks dorian -- I do

Hi there, I have a model for a Film, which: has_and_belongs_to_many :artists has_many :stills has_one :preview_image, :class_name => "Still", :conditions => "priority=''main''" the has_one:preview_image and has_many:stills obviously draw from the same table. I was

Folks, I think I should start a new thread for this, because a similar one I saw is a bit old and the resolution there doesn''t seem to apply to what I''m running into now. Anyway, my date_select calls are bombing on me with the exception: ---- ActionView::TemplateError (wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)) on line #8 of entries/_dates_form.haml: 8: = date_select(

Hi, I''m trying generate a URL from a named route like: namedroute_url(params...) but the generated route is always coming out as the first match from the routes table.

Hi there, I just started writing tests today after some months of using rails (slap wrists). I seem to be getting the hang of things, but I''m hitting a wall when it comes to functional_testing pages protected by login_engine/user_engine. all my assertions come back with: Expected response to be a <:success>, but was <302> Is there a way I can login from within a test?

Hi there, I''m now getting to the point in my rails app where I can use all of the nice basic features like AJAX and engines etc... but, I want to get my hands a bit dirtier, whilst learning to DRY up my code a bit. I''m using AJAX quite a bit to dynamically populate/edit/sort has_many relationships in forms, and consequently on a model with many has_many''s I end up

Hi, I''m having trouble getting a date helper working. I was pointed to this by Sean Allen, and it resides at http://theredheadedstepchild.net/articles/2005/08/04/datehelper-fixes It''s meant to fix the bug in Rails which doesn''t allow datetime_select to properly discard the year. So, I''m trying to use the helper''s time_select function. date_helper.rb

Imagine a crud app that tracks people applying for a loan, here is the layout I have: Mysql database: create table apps ( id int auto_increment primary key, primary_id int not null, secondary_id int null, constraint fk_primary_id foreign key(primary_id) references (contacts.id), constraint fk_secondary_id foreign key(secondary_id) references (contacts.id)) create table contacts ( Id int

I am trying to push some view logic into a helper. The thought is that this is a step towards having the business logic in the helper rather than the view. However, I''m essentially wrapping the checks around an eventual call to date_select(). The problem I''m having is that the application complains that it doesn''t know about date_select(). I''m sure (or

hello, I'm working with a 4 dimensional NetCDF file, trying to calculate some summary statistics on a parameter. The dimensions are number of rows and columns, time and days. The attribute in question in this case happens to be a probability of woodstork foraging success.

Hello, I am trying to come up with a routine to calculate a rolling mean and standard deviation for three parameters stored in a NetCDF file. The NetCDF file contains 10 years of daily records for each of the three parameters, and I need the statistics for each of the three parameters. Below I include some code illustrating what I've done so far. Obviously this approach does not get at the
