I have a wizard which consists of two pages. To keep it simple let''s say that the first page asks the user to select a state from the drop down menu. In case the user doesn''t select any state, an error message needs to be displayed. Ideally I would like to do something like this. def new selected_value = params[:addevent][:state_id] if selected_value == "-1"

Hi, I have a model (let''s say User) and I would like to add any number of user-defined-settings to this Model. I created a UserSetting Model with user_id, key and value. I connected them with has_many. I know how to access these properties from a user but I would like some methods like user.hasProperty? / user.getProperty ... I think I know how to write these methods/finders myself but

Family Connection is an easy-to-setup online hub for your family that includes a Family News section, and an Address Book. Currently, there is no documentation on installing the Rails application itself (hence the 0.9 version number).

I''m writing a ''Mailman'' model that catches emails sent to my application (kind of like backpack, I think). The trouble is that I''d like to save image attachments in the same was that file_column saves them--in fact, I''d really like to use a simple assignment like photo.image = attachment to save the image in its proper place. However,

Hello At the start of October, Duane Johnson announced the Query mixin plugin on this list. The code was attached to the announcement email. Unfortunately, I''ve not been able to locate the attached code. Goggle has not helped me this time. Could somebody forward it to me? Thanks in advance Harvey This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by MessageLabs.

Here?s a small plugin that may be useful for documenting your database. Based on Dave Thomas?s AnnotateModels plugin, this plugin goes one step further and allows you to store comments on each column in the database (MySQL only).

I''ve recently made a first release of what I''m calling "bundled_resource" which is a plugin that makes our lives *much* easier when we need to use javascripts, stylesheets and images in conjunction with one another to deliver a special effect or tool on the client (browser) side. If you missed the release, read about it on my blog at

i have a Project model, which belongs_to :user when i add a project, the users_id is based on the session[:users_id]. to get the users_id into the projects table, i''m doing this: @project = Project.new(params[:project]) @project.users_id = session[:users_id] this is working, i''m just verifying this is the best way to do it.

Just thought I''d announce this on the Rails list since I know several of you use Textmate: there''s a new feature I''m calling "Multiple Arbitrary Simultaneous Carets" or MASC for short, which is available in my personal TM bundle. It''s been handy enough for me that I thought others might enjoy it.

I was talking to a friend of mine who''s developing PHP on trax and we came up with a solution to the ruby session file problem. I''m not sure if this idea has come up before, so I wanted to run it by everyone before making any code contributations and/or talking to the Rails core about it. It seems to me that the current situation we''re in with regard to

Hi all. I am trying to populate a dropdown based on two values. def self.clientref( reference ) @bugclientrefs = self.find_all(["bug_id = ?", reference]).collect {|b| [ b.client_id.strip << " - " << b.client_ref.strip ]} end This works fine. However this returns the reference to the client. I want the full name using this function. class Bugclient <

Original announcement at http://blog.inquirylabs.com/ [1] == What is bundled_resource? == If your development is in any way similar to mine, there are a number of useful resources out there that make web applications shine beautifully.

Random question: I''ve written a method for the String class that turns an arbitrary line of text in to an identifier, e.g.: "My, what a beautiful day!" => "my_what_a_beautiful_day" "(anb*#NF(AMNV" => "anb_NF_AMNV" We''ve got all these great names already like underscore, classify, titleize and things like that.

I am being barraged with Ruby, Rails and Rich Internet application work right now. Almost enough that I could quit the day job and make a go of it, forgetting about Java altogether. Places in the greater Miami area are turning on to Rails and Ruby -- much of it fueled by the stronger voices in the local Java community. Am I alone in this, or do many of you see absolutely explosive growth in Ruby,
