similar to: How do you detect if ActiveRecord ''update'' fails?

So I''m updating multiple model objects in one go with something like this in my controller: => Photo.update(params[:photo].keys, params[:photo].values) When the update fails due to validation errors, how do I detect it? The Rails API says: "If the save fails under validations, the unsaved object is still returned." So I can''t simply do this: => if

I want to have a form to change a users password. I can''t figure out what the method in the controller should look like. I tried @user.save and @user.update_attributes, but can''t get it to work. My Form: ############################## <%= start_form_tag :action => "update_password", :id => @user.id %> <%= password_field ("user",

hi, i''ve got a page where i''m trying to save the user''s profile information and an image of the user, but i''m having trouble with using attachment_fu and the form_tag method. now i know attachment_fu isn''t designed for form_tag but am really hoping someone has a solution for this as frankly i''m stumped. here''s the form_tag part in

howdy! I had the problem that attachment_fu didn''t make a thumbnail, but everything else worked. I read this post http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/104213 and added a parent_id column. now I get the following error when I trie to add a photo: undefined method `find_or_initialize_by_thumbnail_and_parent_id'' for Photo:Class my code is: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base

Search doesn''t seem to be working, so forgive me if I''m covering old ground here, but I''m having a difficult time figuring out how to implement a "SUM()" function using Active record. Obviously, I could just create a query, but I''d rather make it part of my active record object. Basically I have an object called "Report <

Does anyone know of a way to update individual attributes with validation? update_attribute disables the validation checks in the record model, so I''m wondering if there''s a workaround for this. In my application, I want to allow the user to update some or all the attributes without having to enter :password and :password_confirmation, both of which are subject to

Just in case it saves someone else the several hours of insanity I just went through, update_attributes will not save unless the model validations are satisfied, but update_attribute (the singular form) will save the attribute to the database even if the model validations would fail! This appears to be a feature, not a bug (http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html) although

Hi, I have a product that has many photos, so when creating a new product the user can upload as many photos as they want. This all works fine using nested attributes for. I want the user to be able to set one of the photos as the default/primary photo, so i have played around with using a radio button to decide which photo to select as the default but i cant seem to figure out how to save this

Either I''m not understanding how things are used, or this might be a bug in ActiveRecord. I''m using version 1.13.2. In my version of activerecord/lib/active_record/validations.rb (the svn trunk version is browsable at http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/activerecord/lib/active_record/validations.rb ), I have: def update_attribute_with_validation_skipping(name,

In DHH''s keynote, he alluded to doing logins with REST. Has anyone implemented this, and if so, would you mind elaborating on how you did it please? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi! I have a rails action controller method which takes long time to complete. After about 4-5 minutes running, I get a "execution expired" error which stops this method''s execution. I looked and looked, searched and searched, but could not find how to configure my ActionController''s timeout to be greater than the default. Could anyone help? -- Posted via

Hi. I get a RecordNotSaved exception when trying to create a user record. The error: User Columns (0.005930) SHOW FIELDS FROM users SQL (0.000465) BEGIN SQL (0.000466) COMMIT ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved (ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved): ... As you can see, there''s no INSERT SQL generated, which is the root cause of the problem. In my user model, I have the following

I have a STI class tree. I want to set some default values (calculated values so I can''t set it in the database as defaults) on every created instance regardless of what subclass is actually instantiated. So I figured adding a after_create callback in the top class in the hierarchy should do the trick. It seems it doesn''t get called :( Code: class SuperClass <

Hello, my name is Magnus and I am a RoR-newbie. I am trying to get the grip of ActiveRecord but I am having trouble to find good examples. I have been looking at this: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/AccessControlListExample Where you can find this Model code: require ''active_record'' class Permission < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :roles end

Guys, I am trying to figure out what exactly does this line do at the end of "acts_as_paranoid" plugin? ActiveRecord::Base.send :include, Caboose::Acts::Paranoid::ActiveRecord My problem: I have some classes that I use acts_as_paranoid, and others with tagging support. Classes declared as taggable, throw error, which appears to be in the acts_as_paranoid version of the

It seems that attachment_fu is a pretty popular plugin (it''s great), but I''ve been having a terrible time trying to figure out an issue when using "update_attributes". I''m storing files on the file system rather than in a database. It seems that when "update_attributes" is called with a new file, upload_data= tries to copy a file that

After drawing many virtual blank stares in the IRC channel and finding zero results on the wiki for ''sweeper'' I''m left to wonder whether these are actually officially supported, or are on their way toward being deprecated. Is there a better way of expiring caches on model saves and deletions? Sincerely, Tom Lieber tom@alltom.com http://AllTom.com/
