I'm developing several apps at the moment which will require a global accounts system across all of the apps and I'm unsure of what's the best way of going about doing this.

How do I reuse the same action mailer template for multiple mailer "actions"? In ActionController, you can do ... render :action => 'another_action' I'd imagine the same thing can be done in ActionMailer, but I couldn't seem to find the right method.

For example, say in a p...

The "association?" query method that the Rails docs say should exist when I create a belongs_to association doesn't actually get created: class Author < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :posts end class Post < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :author end >> p = Post.create(:author => Author.create) >> p.author?

I've seen some plugins and custom rake tasks to dump the active db to fixtures, but I'm not sure what the prevailing technique is. Basically, I want the opposite of rake:db:fixtures:load so that I can put basic db information (the admin user account, for one) into svn for when we deploy. I don't want to have to create fixtures manually ...
[see later answer for more] I think this is just a simple rails question, and mostly on how i've named my models and reference them in my view.

I want to be able to build a UL/LI based indexbar off of the nested set but also want it to take advantage of the low database intensiveness of nested set. When I was using acts_as_tree I had a recursive function that built the indexbar. It just called itself if it encountere...

I'm running into problems implementing statuses for a model. This is probably due to wrong design. There is a model which has a status. There can be multiple instances of the model and only a few predefined statuses (like: created, renewed, retrieved etc.). For each individual status there is some calculation logic for the model. E.g. m...
