I haven''t delved into the wonderful world of PDF::Writer yet, nor have I run across a need.. but I just had an idea I wanted to throw out there how hard would it be to create a .rpdf template plugin for rails? could be neat ;]

I''m not a JavaScript guy, so please help me out. It''s my understanding that Rails 1.0 includes scriptaculous-js-1.5.0 But it seems to contain portions of, but not the complete library. Rails 1.0 includes 4 .js files, scriptaculous-js-1.5.0 includes 8. What am I missing? > tmornini$ rails --version > Rails 1.0.0 > > tmornini$ rails test | grep

I''m new to Rails and am modifying the ToDo tutorial app into something else. I have successfully installed authentication via login_generator and now I working toward restricting access to certain database records based on the login name. I realize that eventually, I''ll want to use the "id" field, but for now, I just want to use the user name itself. I have

Hi, Let''s say I have the following hierarchy of tables: Group <- parent Location <- child of Group School <- child of Location Phone <- child of School Then, if I want to do this: Location.find(...someparms..., :include => [:schools, :group, :phones]) I get an association error (Association was not found). I guess it happens because AR is looking in the Location model

In the Agile RoR book, page 219 (softcover version) they talk about the fact you can use the methods: find_by_ and find_all_by_ and fill in the last piece with a valid column name. So I have a database table called "parts" and the following columns: id partname partnumber vendor I do the following: (connection to DB already established) class Part < ActiveRecord::Base end

Hi, What''s the best way to render nothing ? I am making an ajax call to an action on my controller that does not need to make any changes to the view. Not sure how do that yet as I get an exception in the logs saying xxx.rhtml not found.... Thank you all !! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am using EdgeRails, and have some of the plugin''s using gems such as Rmagick which are included through a command similar to "require_gems ''rmagick''". Curious how to handle such attempts at inclusion when I am no longer bound to the system gems and am using the code strictly within vendor/rails and such. Is there a way to point require_gems to another

Hi all, I have defined the following method in both application.rb and application_helper.rb: def still_logged_in? !session[:user_id].nil? end This method is called in a before_filter in my application.rb, as well as in my layout/application.rhtml and view/user/login.rhtml (for showing a login / logout button, etc.) I had to put it both places, otherwise I would get an

Hi, I''d like to upcase a variable before it is saved, but I''m not sure how to access the incoming param or where this work should be performed: In my update method, I have: @device = Device.find(params[:id]) params[:device[macaddress]].upcase <-- problem code if @device.update_attributes(params[:device]) ....usual stuff here ''macaddress'' is the

Hi (again!) I have a function which gets passed the name of an instance variable, and spits its out all nicely formatted. Just wondering, how do i access the variable, when all i have is its name stored as a string? So far i''ve got this code, but it looks horrible. Is there a better way? eval("@" << inst_var_name << "." << field_name <<

I''m having a heck of a time trying to debug issues in my migrations. First, is there a good way to do this? Second, is there a way to get any output to test it? _______________________ Brad Eck _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

On a rails app that I''m developing I converted a regular old .sql file into a rails migration. Since I generated the migration in my development environment, it created the schema_info table for me. However, when I updated my production environment and tried running rake migrate it complained that schema_info doesn''t exist. Is there a rake task for getting around this yet, or

Watching the test results scroll by, it occurred to me that there must be an easier way than either letting it go or capturing it to a log file to mess with in TextMate. Here''s my first stab at an HTMLifier for test output. Just download, unzip, chmod +x, and you can: rake | ./prake.rb Which, if you are on a Mac, should bring up a Safari window with a summary of the problems at the

I''m a newbie. My first app is using a table called cases. With just "scaffold :case" I get the basic list to show up. I just did a "generate scaffold case case" (I think that is correct). Now when I try to list my cases, I''m getting a syntax error on all of the view source code that references "case". ie. <% for case in @cases %> Thanks

I can find the API documentation, but where is the documentation for the standard generators. The wiki has 3rd party generators- but I want to know specifically what generate controller does, and how it differs from generate scaffold, and what other generators there are. Where is this succinctly documented? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there such a thing that I could use to store sessions in the DB instead of in a cookie so that I can ensure users will be able to access their session data even across several load balancers? We use totally stateless machines here at work and I am worried about deploying a rails app in production that uses a volitile session stored on the machine. Any help is great! Happy Holidays, Mark --

I''m hoping someone can help me (a Rails newbie) with this. Basically, I need to verify that a date created with "date_select" is valid *before* it''s sent off to the database for acceptance (as a valid date) or rejection (as an invalid date). Given how easy the majority of validation are in Rails, I''ve got to believe there''s a fairly simple way

I have added roles and roles_users table and updated the model so that my users can have multiple roles. ("Admin" role does always have id = 1). I have added these methods to my application controller. <code> helper_method :is_admin? helper_method :is_user? def is_admin? if @session[''user''] @session[''user''].roles.find(1)
