Hello, I'm currently working on an authentication system derived of OpenID. I work in Ruby and I use the ruby-openid library. Currently, for my tests, I use fakeweb to fake an openid consumer and server and check everything works well. But I don't like the way I do it. And I'm sure there'd be a much better way to do so. So my question...
This may be really obvious, but in rails how can I get the contents of a page without making an HTTP request? i.e. I want to grab the contents of any page that my rails app generates, in a script on the same server. This is of course trivial with an HTTP request, but how can I get the contents of a page otherwise? This is what I am doi...

Hi, I currently have two Ruby selects: one for categories and the other one for subcategories. As you may anticipate, the second one has to update itself every time the first one changes. For example, if I select from the first one the category "Sports", the second select should load all the sports. How can I handle that "index change...
Can I add custom model attribute titles, so forms could automatically render them instead of "prettied" column name? For example I apply some method in my model, which defines attribute title: imaginary_method_which_defines_attribute_title :description, "Aprašymas" So I do not need to write title in every form label helper: <%= f.la...
Is there a generally accepted way of overriding error (validation) messages from a gem/plugin in rails? For example, I'm using the ActiveMerchant gem, and if someone puts in an American Express credit card number, but selects 'MasterCard', I get a not-very-descriptive "Type is not the correct card type" error. I can easily get around t...

I've got a database table that is shared with another application. It has many columns that I will never use in my application. Is it possible to specify columns to be ignored in the ActiveRecord model? Usually it's not too big of a deal, but in this case I've got a table with two blobs that I'll never need joined with another table ...

I was using mysql just fine until I recently switched one of my rails apps to heroku and had to change over. Almost everything works as expected except I have one query which does something totally funky. This is the postgres, but under mysql it is mostly identical except for the EXTRACT DOW and some group by additions, but that isn't ...

Hi I have an issue. I have a show view that acts as a dashboard and brings in records from other models and then models associated to that. I have a simple search form that is working fine to search through one model, but I don't know how to have it look through its associated models as well. I don't think a full text search is necessary...
