Hey, I have been progressively learning more and more rails each day (from both a current project, reading the agile book, and this list). Does anybody think it would be beneficial to have kind of like a rails "Best Practices" page that lists some of the better ways of handling certain functions of rails (that are common in most apps) that are both more elegant, and efficient. For

I have several TIME columns in a PostgreSQL table that I am trying to store times of day in. These columns allow NULL values since there may some records where there is no time to store. My problem is that Rails is inserting a default value into these fields (the result of calling Time.new) regardless of the value that is passed from a form. I am generating select tags with possible time

I have a crude hack to allow auto_complete to work with indexed text fields. I needed it for a timecard entry form with an arbtirary number of records which can be added/changed/delete willy-nilly by users. One of the fields is a perfect candidate for autocomplete since it references a database object with a large number of choices and long descriptions. Using a select list is extremely ugly in

I am using the standard login controller that ships with RoR to authenticate users in my application. In my app, Users belong to Clients, Clients have Projects that users are assigned to (stored in a stakeholder table with user_id and project_id columns) , then each project has a bunch of folders and assets (file uploads). So currently I have urls that look like /project/show/12 etc. I want

In web applications that have user generated content, it is clearly necessary to provide some ability to ''escape'' user generated text to avoid SQL injection, XSS, and other nasty attacks. The existing dogma on this point seems to favor escaping text as it comes out of the database, rather than doing it on the way in. I''m not sure that I understand the logic behind

I just put this up on the wiki, and thought I''d share in case it''s useful to anyone else. This is handy if you don?t want to wrap your input elements inside a div when an error occurs, but instead want to add some sort of CSS style to fields with errors: ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| msg = instance.error_message error_style =

Hello- I have a database with entries that are segmented by customers. I would like to be able to store / delete / restore a particular customer''s information. I will need to rebuild the rows on restore and also rebuild the associations for the different tables. For example, customer { id name } companies { id customer_id (belongs_to) name } contacts { id

Guys, I searched this forum and found plenty of people having this problem, but I didn''t see any definitive solution. Usings Rails 1.0. When I edit an existing record, I can''t get the basic "select" helper to display the current value contained in the field of the record. All of my other (text) fields populate correctly with current field values. There appears

Guys, I''m using select_tag to display a non-model dropdown, which works fine. However, I''ve tried every which way to use the :include_blank => true option, but it simply won''t display a blank value. Using :include_blank => true with select on model fields works fine. Can someone please show me a working example? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am just getting started with Rails, don''t know any Ruby, and don''t quite even get object oriented programming yet. I have tweaked my schema to The Rails Way and have generated a bit of scaffolding. I am trying to create a new Part, which references a PartName and a PartNumber. I can create a PartNumber on the fly, but the PartName has to exist. I have an inelegant solution

I''m trying to get some answers as to why I (my company actually) would go with RoR over TurboGears. The developer staff is fluent in both Ruby and Python so that is not an issue. Rails is well into its release cycle whereas Turbogears won''t be at 1.0 until later this week. They both do essentially the same thing and they both have cool features unique to themselves

I'd like to fit a GLM to each of a number of subsets of some data. The `family' argument to `lmList' (in lme4) has given me cause for optimism, but so far I've only been able to achieve linear model fits. For example > df <- data.frame(gp = gp.temp <- factor(rep(1:3, each = 100)), x = x.temp <- rnorm(300), y = rpois(300, exp((-1:1)[gp.temp] + x.temp))) Then a call to
