I''m using a cache sweeper class [1] to take care of some pretty complex sweeping. However, there is a problem with the current implementation. Namely, the sweeper gets called only when an action named in cache_sweeper is called using GET. As many methods where sweeper would be useful are using postback to send the form to the same action, this causes the cache to get swept when

Sorry I can''t access IRC from work so I hope you don''t mind me asking my newbie questions here: 1) I have the following code: @post = Post.find(@params[''id'']) @comments = Comment.find_all "post_id = #@params[''id'']", "created_on ASC" And I am have problems with the second line. I want to pass the id from my post to the

Thanks to everyone who responded to my first set of questions. Not only did I get my questions answered but I improved my code and learned a couple new things. I think I prefer the mailing list over IRC... easier to follow :-) I have some more questions if you don''t mind. Some are Rails related and some are Ruby related. 1) This is concerning displaying error messages. I am assuming

I am new Ruby on Rails, so excuse me if my question seems pretty obvious. I am trying to validate uniqueness of a filed: class EventType < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :sport validates_uniqueness_of :event_type end When I run it, I get this error message: Showing /event_type/new.rhtml where line #27 raised undefined method `each'' for nil:NilClass <select

I have added roles and roles_users table and updated the model so that my users can have multiple roles. ("Admin" role does always have id = 1). I have added these methods to my application controller. <code> helper_method :is_admin? helper_method :is_user? def is_admin? if @session[''user''] @session[''user''].roles.find(1)

I have a simple program that read all HTML files from a directory and returns parts of the content and the file names which are HREFs to those file. I build the HREF string dynamicaly as PATH_TO_DOC_ROOT + "file_name". My PATH_TO_DOC_ROOT = http://127.0.0.1:3000/docman/public/docs. So, the final link that I am interested in might look like this:

Hi, I''ve looked on api.rubyonrails.org but I''ve not found how to add to a date_select(object, method, options = {}) a class option to set the class of all the select tags. I''ve tried using "class" => "myclass" in thoose ways: <%= date_select("costo", "data", "class" => "testo" ) %> <%=

Hi there, What are you using for text search engine in your rails applications ? I have been using simple search for simple applications, but then I need to search text in model instances inside collections such as user.documents and the like. I believe that simple search does not support any sort of ranged queries, and sql like might be overkill for tables with lots of records. Bests, Sergi

I''m having some problems with ActionMailer and I''m hoping that someone can help. I''ve followed the tutorial on "How To Send Emails With Action Mailer" <URL: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/HowToSendEmailsWithActionMailer >, I''ve generated a mailer -- "notifier.rb" -- and I''ve added the following method to the

Hello, I''m confused why the spec described below is failing. Other simple comparison specs are passing fine for the same model. The code is working accordingly when I test it through the console, I''m just having difficulty getting this spec to work. Any pointers would be appreciated. Failure message: ''Address fetch and geocode should extract department and write to

Hi, The documentation doesn''t make it clear why both file_field and file_field_tag are both useful. What is the reason for having two instead of just one of these? Thanks, Peter

Hi, Maybe I ask again for something what is wasn''t able to find anything. Is there simple way how to process authorizations? My imagine is that some action for controllers are allowed only to few users. E. g. Everybody can look category list, but only registred user can edit or add. In best way, when user is signup, rails will remember his rights like: adding_category = false

Hi, all, I''m trying to write a spec for a controller method that starts out: def download @orders = Order.find( params[:ids] ) ... and started writing a spec that set params[:ids] to a mock. I was surprised to discover that controller specs (at least in RSpec 1.0.8) don''t offer the use of the params object (per

I think I must be missing something obvious... I have... class OrderController < ApplicationController model :order scaffold :order def list @orders = Order.find_all_by_status(@params[:status], :order => "date" ) end end class Order < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :customer end and i''m getting... /Unknown column ''orderdate'' in

Hi I''d like to know how to add default text text area using the function text_area. I ''ve tried using value = "....." to do this but with no luck. Could some one please answer my simple question? Thanks. Dan. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve come across rather strange behaviour when trying to raise an exception in a stubbed method. I''m speccing the behaviour of a Rails create action, where I''m using save! to catch failed saves. In the case of working save, I''m using the following stub: @client.stub!(:save!).and_return(true) which works fine. However, in the negative case,

I have a mysql database that I am trying to use migrations on. The problem that I am having is that when I create a blob field in my migration file like so: t.column "data", :binary, :limit => 15.megabytes, :null => false rails changes it to this in the schema: t.column "data", :binary, :default => "", :null => false not only is this not what I wanted

I haven''t been spec''ing lately, but been hopping back on and adding autotest. However I get an error: http://pastie.caboo.se/177538/wrap I also noticed a post by Scott and there was mention of rspec_autotest. Is this is what everyone is using? http://svn.caldersphere.net/svn/main/plugins/rspec_autotest/

Simple question. Is it possible to generate a link like <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" >google</a> with the link_to function ? Thanks

Hey, I''m new, so apologies if I''ve overlooked obvious resources or violated any etiquette rules for this list. Since rails does not support the MySQL enum data type, I''m following David''s advice of using a varchar and storing the valid values in the application: http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/rails/2005-January/001536.html So here''s my
