I'm using Prototype in my Rails project to do in-place editing (via Ajax.InPlaceEditor) of a form. However, I don't want it to immediately post back and do the update - the form itself is pretty complicated and the user may decide to abandon their changes. Only now they can't, because the form has invisibly (to them) updated the database...

Hi, So I have two rails models - user and role - each specified with a habtm and a join table of users_roles. When I save from my user form, which has checkboxes for which roles to choose, rails is trying to manually insert a value into the id column of the join table. This doesn't make sense to me, as the id column should be set to au...

Rails has a has_one :through association that helps set up a one-to-one association with a third model by going through a second model. What is the real use of that besides making a shortcut association, that would otherwise be an extra step away. Taking this example from the Rails guide: class Supplier < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :...

Although I only added .gitignore recently. Any s...

I have an application that uses HTTPS for some of its routes in conjunction with the ssl_requirement plugin. It's deployed and is working fine in production. The question is how best to handle this in development, because at the moment I'm simply hacking my routes.rb to remove the :requirements key and obviously that's not very convenie...
