I am working with will_paginate to create a sortable and searchable table. I have got everything to work correctly with the exception of the search box (filter). Right now when I select a different query (other than "title") and search for something, it only searches for title querys. Can anyone help point out where I am going wrong? Th...
Hi I am investigating potential Rails plugins or Gems to help develop a SAAS type app. Specifically I am looking for help in two areas: Restricting access to certain areas of the app based on the account's plan. For example, a bronze account allows access to some functionality, upgrading to silver unlocks access to new features and fu...

I've found an old plugin called acts_as_habtm_list - but it's for Rails 1.0.0. Is this functionality built in acts_as_list now? I can't seem to find any information on it. Basically, I have an artists_events table - no model. The relationship is handled through those two models specifying :has_and_belongs_to_many How can I specify ord...
I apologize if this is a trivial question or my understanding of rails is weak. I have 2 actions in my controller, index and refine_data. index fetches and displays all the data from a database table. refine_data weeds out unwanted data using regex and returns a subset of the data. Controller looks like: def index Result.paginat...
Hi, for a forum-like application I need the ability to show each user the unread (new) messages. Is there any Rails plugin/gem for that purpose? Or: Are there any hints to do this job in a efficent way? I'm thinking about an additional database-table storing the unread-status (or read-status?) of every message for every user. But this ...
Hello, I'm working on a Ruby on Rails app which has a REST API. I manage two formats JSON and XML. Very often to simplify the use if the API, I'm making includes. But when you add params to to_json and to_xml like :only, :except, it's not only applied on the root object but on all the objects included. Do you know libs or methods to an...
Before I roll my own (again, I already did this once in Java), is there a date picker that allows predefined named ranges in addition to the standard user-chosen dates. For example, I want the user to be able to choose 'Today' or 'This Week' or 'Last Month' and store it in such a way that it's relative to the time I access it, not based ...
I've been attempting to implement a robust voting system in rails for some time but have been struggling. Initially I built my own voting system, but it was simplistic. In a nutshell it just incremented a votes_count column in the "Answer" model using the counter cache...this worked fine for me for a while until I discovered vote_fu......
I am upgrading my app from Rails 2.2 to 2.3.5 and I am seeing the following error while using '<<' for saving a has_many relationship. Eg: Breaks test ev = UserEvent.new # model specific code here self.user_events << ev Eg: Works ev = UserEvent.new # model specific code here ev.user_id = self.id ev.save!

Hi, I've been looking for a Ruby implementation of Fedex and UPS. I've been through their documentation, and think it's really overcomplicated (I'm a bit of a ruby "newbie" myself), so was looking for something simpler. I would only like to use the tracking function. I found a library called shipping (http://shipping.rubyforge.org/), b...

I Googled this question and came up with answers (and CMSes) from pre-2009, so I was wondering if the state of RoR CMSes had changed much since then? I don't need a full-fledged CMS...I have a custom app in mind that I would like to attach blog/article/editor tools functionality to, without having to re-write those parts myself. So any ...
Hey, I'm using prawn for pdf generation and everything works quite well, but now I'm having a bit of a problem. When I put multiple tables on one page, they just get put over each other and not under each other. Is this normal behaviour and what can I do about it? I add the tables on the most normal behaviour btw :) Thanks! ...
