Hey,
where would I place additions to stdlib classes in a rails project? Let's say something like:
class Date
def foo
'foo'
end
end
I thought about the initializer folder but it somehow felt wrong. Ideas?
Hello,
I am looking for ways to protect my product images and I don't know if there's anything out there better than what I've already found: disable right click, use a transparent image in front of your picture and watermarking. Obviously none of them is perfect but I was curious if someone came up with a better solution to this problem.
Also is there any rails plugin to aid with that ?
Thanks
Is it possible to configure rails to show logger.debug messages (from logger.debug statements inside controllers) to display inside test.log (or to the console) when running unit and functional tests?
I added the following to test_helper.rb. I see messages from logger.debug statements directly inside tests but no messages from logger statements inside controller methods?
def logger
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
end
Hi,
I have a list of rows in an excel sheet which I need to load as historical transactions into a table in my rails applications. I saved the excel file as a csv file. I tried using csv from the standard library but keep getting the following exception CSV::IllegalFormatError.
Not sure how to even figure out where the problem lies. Any suggestions on how to do this.
thanks,
ash
My original question and accepted solution was posted here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2483640/rails-association-question. Check that out first.
My follow-up question is this:
I want to return an object that has both the user attributes and the race attributes. That way I can access, for example, the user's name and the fastest_time. How can this be accomplished? I've tried several approaches, but none I've been satisfied with.
can't seem to get my seeds.rb file to run through the command "rake db:seed". I'm using netbeans and I'm a beginner to rails, so I could be doing something really simple and stupid =/. I know you're meant to put your seeds.rb file in the db directory but netbeans doesn't seem to have one or might have renamed it... any help out there?
Thanks in advance!
I'm attempting to track my dependencies with git-submodules in my rails app. So far I've added submodules for things like, haml, shoulda, authlogic, etc to 'vendor/plugins'. I've seen indications that I should be using 'vendor/gems' instead though.
Question, which directory is the appropriate place to put dependencies being tracked as submodules? Is the choice arbitrary?
Thanks
Is it possible to do a redirect in the routes file of a Rails app?
Specifically, I'd like to forward /j/e to /javascripts/embed.js
Right now the only way I can think to do it is to create a j controller with an e method that redirects to that.
Hi folks, i have a function that converts an array to a hash which i would like to use across all the model, controller and view files in the rails app.
Does this violate some core design principle, or am i missing something really obvious?
Does anyone know how to make rspec follow a redirect (in a controller spec)? (e.g test/unit has follow_redirect!)
I have tried "follow_redirect!" and "follow_redirect" but only get
undefined method `follow_redirect!' for #<Spec::Rails::Example::ControllerExampleGroup::Subclass_1:0xb6df5294>
I've installed just about every library/gem that I could find for memcached/memcache, but everytime I attempt to run my application I get this error:
Error message:
uninitialized constant Rails::Initializer::MemCache
Exception class:
NameError
I have tried $ telnet localhost 11211 and memcached is definitely running. Any ideas?
(I'm running Apache2/Passenger)
I'm creating a rails 3 application that will be decentralized and I need to use UUID as primary key for my tables, what would be the best gem, plugin for the Job. I also would like to know if it is possible to make in ActiveRecord polymorphic relationships without using the polymorphicable_type column for it, given the case that I'm using UUID.
Hey everyone,
I am working on a simple blogging type ruby on rails application and I have everything working through tinyMCE for a nice WYSIWYG editor so the user can add some simple things like images/youtube videos and lists. What I am looking for is a nice solution for blacklisting certain elements to be filtered out of the data when it is displayed.
So is there a solution for this available as a gem or available to download anywhere?
Thanks!
hi guys,
i am wondering is there a convenient function in rails to convert string with negative signs into a number. e.g. -1005.32
when i use to_f method, the number will simply become 1005 with the negative sign and decimal part being ignored.
thanks in advance!
Great ruby on rails examples of almost real world applications:
Can somebody give some links of sites that have such codes using the best practices in structure, implementing it, models, controllers, security, views, caching, modularizing and so on? thanks
My database has a datetime field, and I want to be able to create new entries. Obviously the Rails datetime_select helper isn't the most user friendly thing to have in your form.
I'd rather have a text field for the datetime (or one for the date, and one for the time) and interpret the inputs like PHP strtotime can.
I might just be searching the wrong keywords. Surely this has been discussed in great depth somewhere.
Thanks

My rails app produces XML when I load /reports/generate_report.xml.
On a separate page, I want to read this XML into a variable and save it to the database.
How can I do this? Can I somehow stream the response from the /reports/generate_report.xml URI into a variable? Or is there a better way to do it since the XML is produced by the same web app?
[Rails] Where to put this code?
I have a user1 and when another registered user2 sees the profile of user1, has some buttons on it: ['add as friend', 'give me your number', 'give me your email', 'ask her out', 'view photos']. The 1,2,3,4 are POST, with AJAX. Now, i have to make a new controller named 'ProfileActionsController' or i should put this code in the 'UsersController'?
or maybe a another posiibility? thanks ;)
In my rails app I have defined the routes so users can access records like http://mydomain.com/qwe2
But if they type a wrong "qwe2" they get a 500 page. I think a 404 would be more appropriate.
How can I change the error page that is shown? Thanks
How do I configure Ruby on Rails to output standard HTML code instead of XHTML when using helpers (form, javascript, css, etc.)?
I don't want to have the slash at the end:
<input name="email" type="text" />
I have both a text_field and a text_area in Rails, and I want to disable the browser's auto-complete. Setting the attribute in either the text_field, text_area, or in the form itself, doesn't seem to make the browser stop trying to auto-complete. This is for Firefox 3.6.3 on OS X. Maybe it's more a browser issue than a RoR issue.
Thanks!
The authlogic rails gem is doing a LOWER in the sql query.
SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE (LOWER(`users`.email) = '[email protected]') LIMIT 1
I want to get rid of the LOWER part since it seems to be slowing down the query by quite a bit.
I'd prefer to just lower the case in the code since this query seems to be expensive.
I'm not sure where to change this behavior in authlogic.
Thanks!
What's the best way to add foreign keys to my existing tables in Rails with an underlying MySQL database? clearly the solution should be done in a migration, as I want this versioned. Otherwise I'd create the constraints myself.
I can't seem to find one, conducive response to they above. Again, the tables have already been created with previous migrations. I'm just going back now and adding referential integrity wherever it's applicable.
