similar to: created_on & updated_on - helper to display date only

Hello all, I''m creating a many-many join table between ''homes'' and ''users''. Can it contain created_on? will AR update created_on, updated_on on this table? CREATE homes_users ( home_id int not null, user_id int not null, created_on datetime null, updated_on datetime null ) Thanks for your advice! -- ------------------------------ Apple MacBook.

Hi you all, I have a model simulating an ActiveRecord model, according to the tips stated in [1]. It is simulated because even though I am gonna save the attributes in a file, not in a DB, I still want the validations made by ActiveRecord::Base (see code below). Well, the thing is that I also want the behaviour of the created_on and updated_on columns, that get modified automatically before

I''ve finally gotten lighttpd working for my production instance (SUSE 10.0 with SSL). (Had to install the fcgi dev toolkit, the SUSE 10 ruby-fcgi rpm, and the fcgi gem. I''m not positive all 3 were required, but that is what I did.) Now the devel instance of my app is broken. I''m not sure how to fix it. Previously I was using WEBrick for both devel and production.

I''ve just install Eclipse with RadRails for the first time. I''m trying to follow the very simple DemoAppPart1 at http://wiki.awebfactory.com.ar/awebfactory/published/DemoAppPart1 When I click on the DepotServer and try to start it WEBbrick is not starting. I can cd to the base directory and run script/server and it works. Any idea what I''m doing wrong? Thanks Greg

I''m really lost on this issue. Do I need to reinstall rails / gems? The rest of my rails setup seems to be working. I just can''t run dispatch.fcgi. (Details in original message below). I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I''m not even positive it is supposed to be runnable from the command line. I found a troubleshooting guide that implied it was supposed to

All, I have a small Intranet app I''m trying to get ready for remote access. (I only have 15 or so users for now and I don''t plan to be adding very many more.). I have installed the login engine and it seems to be working as advertized. (Great job!) For my needs I don''t want random people to be able to register and get access to my app, but I will need to register

I have a small intranet app with only 20 or so users. I''m currently using lighttpd w/ssl for production and mongrel for dev. I don''t think Mongrel supports ssl, but what is the easiest front-end to put in front of it? Pound? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

All, I know there are 3 or 4 search plugins out there. I''m trying to find one that will allow me to search associated fields. My database content is pretty small, so efficiently is not so critical. On the other hand I have ton of :belongs_to type fields, so I need something that works well with the Rails models. Any recommendations? == Example of what I need to work Assume I have a

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

Hello all, Rails 1.0.0 created_on is being set to 2000/01/01 00:00:00 Any ideas on this ? Thanks! Schema is create table user_login_history ( id int identity(1,1) not null, user_id int not null, created_on datetime default(getdate()) not null, created_at datetime default(getdate()) not null, updated_on datetime default(getdate()) not null, constraint pk_user_login_history primary key clustered

All, I want to know in the Application.rb controller if I''m on the login screen. When I''m on the page I care about the controller variable is "#<ActiveRbac::UserController:0x408b3d6c>" So I want something like: if controller contains ActiveRbac::UserController What is the right syntax for the above? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics

I assume that this is some newbie stupidity, but I haven''t found my way around this problem. I have an ActiveRecord object fetched from the database, and I need to evaluate the contents of the updated_on field. However, *any* attempt to access that data in the program results in a TypeError with the message ''no implicit conversion from nil to integer''. cust =

I''m trying to work out how to use the functionality from a plugin in an engine. It sounds weird, but it''s actually not so strange. I assume I can''t just add a vendor directory to an Engine, so some strategy for getting the plugin in the lib folder is probably necessary (and then requiring the plugin, perhaps?). -- Yehuda Katz -- Posted via

I''m trying to write a test like the one at the bottom of page 148 in Agile Rails. I''m using rails 1.0 I''ve created the fixture correctly I''m pretty sure because the test database table is being populated per the fixture. I have what I think is a simple unit test: ========= require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class CaseTest

Hi, Just wondering how I get both the current date and time to display here (so far I can only get the date OR the time): @tblregisteredphone.txtregisterdatetime = Date.today Also, how can I change the format of the date and time from: Tue Apr 04 00:00:00 GMT Daylight Time 2006 to 2006-04-04 12:04:00 ?? I''m sure it''s very simple, I just don''t know how

All, I just installed ruby 1.8.4 on my SUSE 10.0 box. It was slightly convoluted so I thought I would post the solution here. Once this runs for a day or so I will try upgrading my rails to 1.1 === Ruby 1.8.4 on SUSE 10.0 Howto I downloaded the src.rpm from http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/src/ruby-1.8.4-9.src.rpm Then I installed it with

I have a simple Intranet app I want to make accessible via the Internet for remote access by our employees. I want to use ssl (https) connections and I''ve found enough messages to imply Webrick as included in rails can do the job. The message at http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/2005-January/001993.html even appears to tell me exactly how to do it by modifying

I''ve seen that Rails 1.1 is not reliable with Ruby 1.8.2 so you should upgrade to 1.8.4 I''m running ruby 1.8.3. What''s the story with it? Do I need to upgrade before I try Rails 1.1? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

I''m a newbie, but it seems like edit and show should somehow share a partial form. In particular I''ve customized the layout of my edit form by using a table and multiple rows/columns and I want my show form to look the same. Currently I''ve modified my show view to use _form, but now all the fields are read/write and obviously they need to be read only on the show form.

I see from http://rubyonrails.org/api/classes/ActionController/Components.html that is possible to pass paramaters to a component. I don''t understand the exact syntax. I''m trying: @master_id = @params[''master_id''] in the components controller but it is not working. ==== Details: In my calling view I have: <%= h(@opportunity.id) %> <div
