Hi all, Does anybody know how to include a partial (next to @content_for_layout) in a layout file? I''m looking for a something like @partial_for_include => ''filename'' in my layout files.

Hi all, After working on my first rails app and having handed over some very sophisticated coding from a lot of you guys. My app does what I want it to do, but I''m no where near the end yet, and it seems that the KISS and DRY objectives already went down the drain. It could be lack of knowledge, only doing Ruby on (and) Rails for a month, but I''m stuck on the following:

Hi all, Is there no way to easily resolve this. It can''t be that I''m the first that wants this, and it wouldn''t be RoR if it''s not possible.

Hi all, Are there any helpers or so for listview routines that suppres the three above mentioned columns? I''m currently exploring something like the code below.

Hello out there! Nooby question: What''s the "Rails" way to work with tables of relatively static lookup data? Objectively (I''m thinking); I don''t want to hit the DB each time, so for each lookup table, initialize a globally available hash with lable/value pairs... Am I on the right track? How would you do this kind of thing in Rails? Thanks! --

Hi guru''s out there, Im happilly coding my first rails app, and all goes well. I find myself manually coding in a particular field all the time (company_id), that relates the contact to a company. The total coding of this form seems somewhat much. Could somebody tell me what Rails power I''m possibly missing and stuborn as I am trying to do myself? I was wondering if the

Hi all, happily coding along, but it seems a belongs_to record is not saved. # Create some stuff def create_project @contact = Contact.new @project = Project.new(@params[''project'']) @project_contact = ProjectContact.new(@params[''collect'']) @project.project_contact = @project_contact contact =

Hello all! I have a list of people on a page, and some of this people have pictures of them stored on the web server. So I have an image tag like this on my page: <%= image_tag "/images/people/" + person.pers_id.to_s + ".jpg" %> But not all have a picture, so if the file for pers_id=1899 does not exist, i would like to display a custom image for that guy. How can I do

Hi all, I''ve got these company (has) contacts relational tables. I want to make sure a company can''t be deleted when it still has contacts. (because I can now, which results in nil like errors when listing the contacts ... obviously) Are there any helpers to do so, is Rails aware of this? Or do I need to put in a condition before destroying the company record in question

Making tables in templates is pretty easy, except for one minor problem. They tend to be fairly ugly. If you have a model with three attributes, it''s very easy to create an html table that looks like this.. Col1 Col2 Col3 A B D A B E A C F A C G Which becomes difficult to read when you have a lot of repeated data. What I would really like to generate

Hello, What''s the best way to handle formating of a text_area?

I''m currently doing the following in my comments controller to insert line breaks when the user

Hi all, Im slowly moving forward, but there''s something a miss. I can save some relational records to tables, but only once.

Hi Working through the tut material in teh PP book (agile dev with rails) on a laptop running winxp. Creating the "admin" application, things generally work great.

Hi all, Installed the login_engine which is working. But I''m confused as to how I tell Rails to use the "/app/views/layout" rhtml files, when partials from the login_engine are used from "/vendor/plugins/login_engine/app/views/user". Do I copy login.rhtml to /app/view/mgmt? (mgmt is a controller name in my app) Along the same line: I also have a nil error on the
