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

Hi all, I am using rails v.2.3.2 and if I put following line to my ApplicationController: include LoginSystem and I moved my login_system.rb to lib folder: module LoginSystem protected def is_logged_in? @logged_in_user = User.find(session[:user]) if session[:user] end def logged_in_user return @logged_in_user if is_logged_in? end def logged_in_user=(user) if

Is there a place where I can put a method that can be accessed in both views and controllers? Here''s the situation, maybe someone can suggest a better way to go about this: I created my own custom login system with email verification and user roles (basically, I tinkered around with SaltedHashLoginGenerator until I finally gave up and wrote my own). One role, of course, is an admin

My application needs to know if a user is an administrator, for security and aesthetic reasons. At the moment, I store true/false in the session by doing the following at login: session[:user_is_admin] = authenticated_user.is_admin? Is this OK to do? Or should I really be doing the following every time: User.find(session[:user_id]).is_admin? (user_id is always in the session too) Is there

I just updated to rails (via gem) and now all my .find..... methods give me "wrong number of arguments(3 for 0)" with the exception of find_by_sql which works fine but I want to avoid for obvious reasons. I''ve tried simplifying everything down to the bare minimum Priorities.find(1) and I printed out Priority.table_name to confirm it was still correct. What gives? Did I

Hi all I have a model Member that has a habtm relationship to buddies (also members). Now I wanted to sort them using sort, but this ends in an error "undefined method <=>"!

Hi, I''ve got this method : def is_admin? @current_user && @current_user.admin == 1 end I want to be able to call this method from all my controllers and all my views. If I put this method in application_controller I can call it from all my controllers but none of my views. If I put this method in application_helper I can call it from all my views but none of my controllers.

First let me say that Rails caching is very very cool. The traffic (and responsiveness) I''ve saved by added 10 lines of ruby code would be enourmous, if I actually had traffic... ;) Sweepers as observers are great, btw. Since every page of my side is dynamic, once I did some DB optimization I''m caching the content of the index page which was taking the bulk of the time to load

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

It's exactly the same. Except that I use tdbsam instead of ldap and the error message therefore also is different in the log file. But the example and result is the same. Do you have any idea of workaround or fix?

I''m making a simple questionnaire app using RoR. I''ve got a model for Questions, a model for Answers, and a third model, Qa, for matching each question to five possible answers through foreign keys. So, each qa has a question and five answers , a1-a5, through belongs_to and a :foreign_key, and then a selected_answer field for specifying which answer was selected by the user. The
