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 ;]

Issue: I am trying to get a good quality search capability across our site. I ran across ActiveSearch (http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/rails_plugins/simple_search/) which seems to be a better solution for us than SimpleSearch (and SearchGenerator) as it is more than just word based. However, I am unable to get the project built and being fairly new to Ruby / Rails I''m a little

I''m struggling understanding the model view of a combined model. Take the following: class P4 < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :p4_priorities end I figured out the naming and referencing of the sub models (i.e. P4.p4_priorities - seems simple enough but I had weird issues related to it). I''m all ok except that I am having issues with how to reference a

hi, what''s the way to reset the form generated by the form_remote_tag after the successful submission of the form? thanks

Hello everyone, I''m trying to migrate a working app from Postgres to MySQL, and I''m trying to use a migration to get it done rather than alter all my database table creation scripts to MySQL syntax. I''ve done loads of work with Postgres, but am a real newbie with MySQL... I did a ''rake db_schema_dump'' from my Postgres app, and got a nice looking

I''ve got a bunch of table creations in the schema.rb file and all is well. However, I have to manually go and create the db first. Is there a way (something like a create_database method) to get this to work? (execute "create database ..." didn''t seem to cut it either.) _______________________ Brad Eck Sr. Software Engineer Pelco 3500 Pelco Way Clovis, CA 93612

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

We have a situation where one app on the server seems to be affecting another. So, we start the first app on port 3000 and run it and all is well. We start the second app on port 3006 and it fails (blank screen). We then have to blow away the temp files and try again. If we start the 3006 one it will work and then start 3000 and it fails. So, in essence the first one wins. Any thoughts? We are in

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! It seems that migration doesn''t use single transcation to execute the needed migrations for the database upgrade, so if I have database at version 5, and I wrote some migrations 6..10, and error occurs while executing migration 7, the database stays in state 6? I also think that migration taks could use some more verbosity, for example if migration fails, there''s no

I have some simple dhtml code in my rails app that hides fields I do not need displayed. This worked great as soon as I click on the item that initiates the hide, but within one second it pops back up. My assumption is WEBrick is refreshing to a previous state and I wondered what y''all thought was the appropriate way to handle. I thought maybe the default environment in production would

Well, I know there''s a better way (not using frames) but bear with me while we get rev 1 out the door and then switch. In the meantime I need to redirect from one frame into another and cannot for the life of me figure out a reference to get to another frame: redirect_to :controller => testController'', :action => testProc'' I cannot seem to add :target or

Hi, I''m looking for past efforts to integrate Rails and Needle. I am thinking of doing it myself but would be interested in seeing what others have done before. If there are examples of other IoC frameworks being used with Ruby I''d be interested in hearing about them too. I find IoC to be a helpful concept in general and, having glanced at a few existing Rails app.s, I

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

I''m tyring to write a unit test that uses a get() method to simulate a get request in my functional test. However, get wants an action, and I have a URL. I''m trying to redirect to a URL the user tried to hit before logging in. After they login I want to go back to the URL they originally tried. I can''t find the get() method code in the help or otherwise. I

Dear list: I'm using bwplot to compare concentrations by location and treatment as in: # using built in data bwplot( conc ~ Type : Treatment, data = CO2 ) I would like the order of the plots to be: 3,4,1,2. I can't seem to figure this out with index.cond or permc.cond. Any help is appreciated! Brad Eck [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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
