In various resources i''ve seen plenty of examples of how to do something along the lines of: map.connect "foo/bar/:a/:b/:c", :controller => "foo", :action => "bar", (and :a,:b and :c get mapped to params[]) what i''d like to do is make a mapping of the form

Running a functional test on FooController that does ''follow_redirect'', I get ''Can''t follow redirects outside current controller (from "foo" to "foo"). On further investigation, it turns out that :foo != ''foo'' around line 401 of actionpack/lib/ action_controller/test_process.rb. Changing the line: if redirected_controller

(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- I''m new to the ruby-based schemas and migrations. As I''m looking over examples and such online, I see that many of them don''t make use of schema-enforced attributes. For example, instead of: t.column "post_id", :integer, :default => 0, :null => false They do: t.column "post_id", :integer So I''m wondering -- is this

I have a situation where I want to edit an arbitrary number of instances of one model on one page. I can and have accomplished this by manually managing the object <-> text field relationship, but in a way I consider at best hackish. I''d like to know a clean way to do this. If you want to edit the name attribute on a person class, you write code like this

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.
