I have an Event model with a finish_time field and a form checkbox called whenever. When whenever is checked I want to set finish_time to nil regardless of its value in parameters, when whenever is not checked I want to make sure that finish_time is a valid date before I save it in the database. Currently I am achieving this using a w...

I have a Button (HTML or ASP.NET) called LoadData. When I click the button, I need to load some data in the same view called Home. How do I do th...
Hi, I have tried finding the answer to this and come across several things which have not yielded the desired result. So I wrote a HTML Helper that loads in an (fancybox) iFrame: <%= Html.ActionFrame("Projects", "Edit") %> The resulting page has a save button which currently saves the data and redirects to the Index page within the iFr...

Hello, I have an action-method in a controller that takes requests coming from a variety of different views. It is somewhat of a utility method and I simply want it to accept the parameters it is given - do something - and then refresh the view that sent the request. Right now, the only way I see to do this is by having the method fig...
Re: Kohana v2.3.4. Do I have to create a new controller for every URL which uses segment 2? In other words, if I want my URLs to be: www.example.com/foo www.example.com/bar ... do I need to create a unique controller for foo and a unique controller for bar? I'd like to create just one controller, if possible. EDIT: I'd like to avo...
Hello All, I am learning the PHP MVC pattern for my backend implementation. Looking at this excellent example: Implementing MVC in PHP: The Controller http://onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2005/11/03/mvc%5Fcontroller.html I feel comfortable with the execution flow in a GET. But there is no mentioning of what happens in a POST. What would the t...
EDIT: Kohana 2.3.4 Is the proper way to make a few variables available to all my controllers to add a MY_Controller.php file in my /application/libraries/ folder (shown in the docs here)? Are there any better ways to do it, or is this the only recommended method? Being new to OOP, can you link me to any examples? EDIT 2: I've heard ...

I recently followed Stephen Walther through creating a generic repository for your data models using the Entity Framework with the following link, http://bit.ly/7BoMjT In this blog he briefly talks about creating a generic repository and why it's suggested to do so (to be clear of friction). The blog itself doesn't go into great detail...
How can I cache my REST controller with Rails where my actions have query string parameters? Example: GET /products/all.xml?max_price=200 Thx! ...
The same question has been asked many times, but I am unable to find a solution that works for me. I have three models, posts, users, and picture (paperclip). I use restful_authentication and set it up so that each user sees only his/her post in posts/index. I've also given him the ability to upload a profile picture. My question is h...

I'm experiencing a rather frustrating problem. My MVC site runs fine for the most part, but randomly throws an error (which shows a friendly error to the user). When I check the logs, this is what I get: System.InvalidOperationException: The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HandleErrorInfo' but this dicti...
I know similar questions have been posed before, but I could not find a duplicate that handles ASP.NET MVC (and the controller aspect) specifically. My question is as follows: In a MVC model, my understanding is that the controller should handle the use of HttpContext to determine who is logged on, if any. This is so the controller can...
