I've added a select box to a form partial, but unsure about how to pull the currently selected value in the database back into the select box. Here's what I have in my partial: <%= f.select 'status', options_for_select([['Publish', 1], ['Draft', 2]], 1) %> I know that the last "1" is currently setting the value when the page is loaded...
I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.4 and have installed RVM. Its been great so far, I really love the way it lets me manage having multiple versions of rails and ruby on the same machine without headaches! However, I don't want to have to install certain gems (such as passenger) for each setup. Is there a way to share gems between gemsets? I ha...

I wanted add a hook on before_save. Validation happens before "before_save" is called, so I moved it to before_validation :on =>:save. Now the problem is, when I do @object.save_without_validation (sometimes I had to use this). my before_validation hook doesn't get called. Am I missing something or is there a more robust way of adding...

HTTP PUT isn't entirely cross browser so Rails (I'm using Rails 3) supports using POST and passing the _method query param. This is great, but it doesn't seem to work when sending JSON. Example: $.ajax({ url: window.location.pathname, type: 'POST', contentType: 'application/json', data: JSON.stringify({_method:'PUT', p...
Hi, Is that possible to establish a relationship between Tree and Branch such as: class Tree < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :branches end class Branch < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :tree end But with an array of foreign keys branch_ids stored in Tree? I know it's the opposite of the default process, but I want to do so (just fo...

So what I'd like to do is to override the default date_select method (I'd like to make an 'optional / unspecified' date input). What I've tried so far is this: lib/overrides.rb ActionView::Helpers::DateHelper::DateTimeSelector.class_eval do def build_selects_from_types(order) select = '' order.reverse.each do |type| sep...
Hi, I recogn that I can use an options_from_collection_for_select inside a select box to display a list of options inside it. If I add (first.id), it will select the first option as default preselection. Example : options_from_collection_for_select(@hauses, 'id', 'timebuild', @hauses.first.id) However, if in the index.rhtml, I put th...
My Rails application is currently using JSON as the respond_to format for AJAX forms on the site. I'm planning to create a public API for the application, and I'd like to use JSON for it also. How might I distinguish between an AJAX form and an API call in my controllers if the requested format for both is JSON? ...

As I remember, on Windows, all the gems get installed relative to c:\ruby192, so can we actually have different paths such as c:\ruby187_rails238 c:\ruby187_rails301 c:\ruby192_rails301 c:\ruby192_try and therefore have 2 Ruby installations and 2 gemsets for each of them, and create more gemsets as needed this way.
