Regarding validates_associated... Let''s say I have: article belongs_to author But for whatever reason, I want an article to also be written anonymously and therefore not require an author. Then I have: Article: belongs_to :author validates_associated :author But I DON''T have validates_presence_of. What I want to do is validate that an author is valid --if it is

Hi, I have the following problem that I can''t seem to figure out. I want to able to fetch some text from my database record in my controller, and then add two links within the text and then send that back to the view to get rendered so that the two links appear as links and when clicked on, they''d basically call the corresponding action for the link. Would anybody know how to

Hi, I wonder why scaffolding uses a link_to tag for the destroy links. Seems like these should be POST requests with button_to. The Rails book dedicates pages 335-337 to this very issue. Peter

Caveat: this is not a discussion about *hosting* a rails app on windows. Anyway...Macs are everywhere you look when researching rails (demo vids, tutorials, and pictures from rails training classes). I''m interested in what the pros to using a Mac for rails development are (besides textmate). Is it more of a cultural thing, a what would 37 signals do thing, is it a unix thing, or

Hello -- I would like to setup a system where a user can generate a "ticket". This ticket will be stored indefinitely. The ticket will be sent to someone who does not have an account on the system and therefore, I would like to ensure some level of security in that ticket number. Basically, the other user would receive an email like: --- Please click on the link below to view this

Hi there- What''s the easiest/most efficient way to perform a zerofill in Ruby? i.e. Given the value ''val'', I would like to do something like: val = 43 puts val.zerofill(8) ---> "00000043" gsub? sprintf of some sort? Jake -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

With form_tag submit buttons I use the " :disable_with => ''button label while processing'' " option so that visitors with slow connections aren''t able to submit forms twice. How do I do the same thing with button_to? I''ve got several pages where there are multiple forms on the page being updated with Ajax so I can''t wrap the whole

Hi, Anyone got some slick ideas on how to sweep an AR session store? I have a few ideas how I can do it, just want to see if there is an elegant solution that someone is already using. Bob Silva http://www.railtie.net/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I''m trying to use button_to and have it use an image in place of the submit button. I had figured it would work the same as link_to like so: button_to(image_tag("editicon", :size => "16x16", :border => 0), :action => ''edit'', :id => person.id) but this instead displays the image code as the button name. Surely there is a simple way to

In asp you have an Application built-in object, which works just like the Session hash, but it lets you share information among all users of a given application. which is the rails equivalent??? and if there isn''t, how would you implement such a thing ? (there would be concurrency issues to take into account, in fact asp''s application object has some lock and unlock methods

I''ve been joyfully using RJS in a lot of our work lately, with no issues whatsoever. However, I am porting an application to RJS templates that we''ve had for a while, and having some issues. When I use Firebug to see what is going on, the response comes back like this: try { new Effect.Highlight("gi_error_row",{duration:20}); } catch (e) { alert(''RJS

Hey folks- If I wanted to distribute my code to users that would run the code on their own machine, how could I go about encrypting the source to run on a user''s machine? PHP has the Zend Encoder among others, I believe. Is there anything similar for Ruby? Jake -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

(Donning flameproof suit) Am I the only person who thinks that the Ruby forum software sucks? E.g. search only for a word. Can''t search for new posts, can''t search by date, topic list doesn''t indicate when I''ve already read a post, there can be several independent replies to a topic, just to name a few. There are lots (admittedly not Ruby based) of good

Hello- With a database filled with several customers'' datasets, I thought it would be a nice feature of my app''s backend interface to be able to extract (and optionally delete) the data from a single customer. It would then also be nice to rebuild that data from the stored info. What''s a good way to do this efficiently? If all the ":dependent => true"

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Raleigh area Ruby users Meetup. It was very interesting and very informative. I did feel a bit out of place when we noticed that of the 11-12 people there, I was the only one with a PC laptop. The rest were shiny macs. Ah well, I need to replace this thing soon, and now that BootCamp is out, I really have no more excuses. This way I can test

Hello Rails Community, I put this request out to the community a few weeks ago and got one reply and he ended up being too busy to do it. So, let me try again.
