similar to: Dynamic form? Not really!

Hi all, For a dropdownlist (showing "Company - FirstName Lastname'') I want to fill an object @project_contacts with "Name" from table Companies and "Firstname" and "Lastname" from table contacts. Any idea? Regards, Gerard. -- "Who cares if it doesn''t do anything? It was made with our new Triple-Iso-Bifurcated-Krypton-Gate-MOS

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, I''m going nuts on a very simple issue. I know what I want but don''t know what to tell rails to do so. I have a very common setup for managing contacts. A companies table and a contacts table. As you''ve guessed it''s a one to many relationship. The database is setup with the appropriate foreign keys, the models have been generated and I added the

I can''t see how to use variables so I am using console to test things out... clients table - a column named first_name My very brief console session... >> clients = Client.find_by_sql("select * from clients where first_name = FN") ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: RuntimeError: ERROR C42703 Mcolumn "fn" does not exist Fparse_expr.c L1034

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

Hi all, I''m trying to build a routine that generates table rows with the appropriate field types (text_area and text_field for now), and filters out the ''created_at'' and ''deleted_at''. <% for column in Project.content_columns %> <tr class="ListLine<%= cycle("0","1") %>"> <td><%=

Hi all, I''m searching for a method to dynamically build a form. ( false/true field in the DB should automatically be a droplist) If you use "_form.rhtml" it works easy, with only this code in your partial, but uses the extra file, and doesn''t feel profi and flexible. <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create_product'' %> <%= render

My code executes fully: <% for column in ModelName.content_columns %> <th><%= column.human_name %></th> <% end %> but it does not pick up any columns in my model''s table that end in "_id". Is this by design? Is there a helper method that will reference the related tables? Or will I need to code the column titles and detail records by

I''m using render to display a collection of partials, where each partial is a table row. Is it possible to zebra-stripe the table using this method i.e. alternate table rows get a different CSS class? I can''t work out how each row partial would know whether it was odd or even. In the normal scheme of things I could do: <% odd_or_even = 0 for asset in @assets

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. But it feels like I''m doing Rails'' work. # just for test purposes <div id="debug"> <% for col in Product.columns.map %> <%= col.name %> - <%= col.type %><br/> <%

Hi all, Im slowly moving forward, but there''s something a miss. I can save some relational records to tables, but only once. For an unknown reason, the primary key (id) of the child table is not automatically increased. (I can only perform one save, (the first records id field holds the value ''0'') and during the next save it says: Mysql::Error: Duplicate entry

Hi all, Not completely sure what I''m doing, but I need to get data from another table based on and id. Below is some breakpointer output: irb> @params => {"project"=>{"project_description"=>"point2", "project_name"=>"break2"}, "action"=>"create_project",

Hi I am running Mac OX tiger with the installed ruby 1.8.2, and mysql5 (I checked that it was running in preference). I tried to run the various fixes recommended in agileweb.

is there any way to Form.reset (clear all fields of the form ) in form_remote_tag generated form? I want to reset fields after ''submit'' in .rjs. -- Hiroshi Takagi <gollum-u1eKKkw+WM0gE89CWYshPg@public.gmane.org>

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. So a linked .rhtml file gets picked up from within a layout file. All my layout files (4 at the moment) have a <div class="navright"> tag, so one change in the

Hi all, I''ve got this code which is alway the same. In a list it displays a show, edit and destroy icon behind each record. <% for todo in @todos %> <tr valign="top" class="ListLine<%= cycle("0","1") %>"> <td><%=h todo.prio %></td> <td><%=h todo.title %></td> <td><%=

I''m a newbie to rails, and really to the whole DRY and MVC thing as well, except where I accidentally fell into things doing it my own way in the past. I''ve got a fairly complex DB structure I want to create an interface for using Rails. Getting simple tables to display, edit, save, not too much problem there. But where I''m having trouble is figuring out where to

Hi all, Im working on a copy contact info into project method. Nosing aroundwith IRB I see a hex value. Named Contact:0x40ca01cc #<Contact:0x40ca01cc @attributes={"name"=>"GP-net", "id"=>"7", "lastname"=>"Petersen", "firstname"=>"Gerard"}> Why is it there like that and not in a human readable

Can I map 2 tables into one class? Is there any pattern, e.g. using ActiveRecord aggregation? Thanks Szczepan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060103/fa2aed7c/attachment.html

Greetings! I''m trying to update a set of records from the same model on one form. The AWD book gives an example on p.356 but I guess I''m not understanding it. I can see from the error message I''m getting that the controller is receiving a hash of hashes back from the view, and that it''s got the stuff I expected (two values per record that was sent to the
