I have a User model with the usual information (login, email, name, location, etc). However, when users decide to edit their information, I'd like to separate the fields to be edited according to the appropriate concerns. For example, I'd like to have Name, Bio and Location to be edited on a Profile page or tab, and login, email and pa...
I'm looking for a way to convert an XML Schema definition file into an ActiveRecord modeled database. Does anyone know of a tool that happens to do this? So far the best way I've found is to first load the XSD into an RDBMS like postgres or mysql and then have rails connect to do a rake db:schema:dump. This however, only leaves me wit...
So my issue is that Ajax.Updater doesn't update the divs I want to update in IE8 when using link_to_remote. Things work correctly in every other browser. The call completes server side, but the html div isn't updated. My code is as follows: link_to_remote( d.strftime("%d"), :url => {:action => 'show', :date => d}, :update => {:succ...
I'm developing an open-source web application on top of Rails. I'd like to make my code as easy to understand and modify as possible. I'm test-driving my development with unit tests, so much of the code is "documented" through test cases (what each controller action expects as input, what instance variables are set for output, how help...

Hi All, I posted this very same item on SERVERFAULT, but got no reply. So here goes: I'm currently in the process of finishing up a Rails application. I am using Warbler to package it up as a ".war" file and am using GlassFish to deploy it. I do this because the application is to be distributed to companies for in-house use. Arguably ...
I'm coming from a .NET background, where it is a practice to not bind domain/entity models directly to the view in not-so-basic CRUD-ish applications where the view does not directly project entity fields as-is. I'm wondering what's the practice in RoR, where the default persistence mechanism is ActiveRecord. I would assert that present...
I guess I just got used to saying things like: x++ in PHP and Java land. But when I tried this in my Rails code it had a fit: compile error /users/gshankar/projects/naplan/app/views/answers/new.html.haml:19: syntax error, unexpected ';' /users/gshankar/projects/naplan/app/views/answers/new.html.haml:23: syntax error, unexpected kENSU...
I have just completed the introduction guide to RoR: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html. It's a great guide and everything works. I am trying to extend it a little bit by SHOWING tags in the Post view. (The guide sets it up so that you can add tags while adding a post even though Tag and Post are different models). This...
Hi, Background - I have a web application for which a request takes several seconds. Question - How could I display a "waiting" type indicator (e.g. spinner) to the user after they initiate the request, until the actual HTTP request response comes back from the server? Notes - I'm assuming this to be a generic web development questio...
I have a model that represents a registration process, which needs to track the progression of several processes (background checks, interviews, information collection...). Each one can be represented by a state machine, and then the overall state of the registration might depend on the state of the others. Can aasm handle this? Any ...

I have two models, BusinessHour and StaffHour that both inherit from Hour. In the BusinessHour and StaffHour models I do a 'find' to retrieve requested hours. After that I need to format each time to a specific format, which I have a method for. I'm trying to figure out where to put that method. It sort of seems like it would go in a H...
I am using RackDAV, and it's GREAT! http://github.com/georgi/rack_dav However, the only way I can get it integrated into my Rails app is to modify my server startup file, which I copied from /vendor/rails/railties/rails/commands/server file! Obviously not great. I have this working: app = Rack::Builder.new { use Rails::Rack::LogT...

Hi there, I hope this question hasn't been asked before: I'm using the ancestry gem to manage my tree structure. I'm using a function which returns the descendants of a node to a certain number of levels. Here's a simplistic example of what it's returning: [{:name => 'node 1', :depth => 1}, {:name => 'node 2', :depth => 2} {:name => '...

I'm creating a simple quiz application where a question can have multiple answers. To improve the usability of my app, I want users to be able to edit ALL the answers for a given question in the same form: I found this great Railscast/Asciicast episode which does almost EXACTLY what I want to do http://asciicasts.com/episodes/198-edit-...
