Following the guide at http://github.com/fortuity/rails3-mongoid-devise I've managed to setup Rails3 with Haml, Devise, and Mongoid. (As a side-note, the guide is really detailed; recommended reading for new Rails users!) Only problem is I can't get Rails to render my Haml views: Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-07-01 14:40:23 +02...
I have a problem where an :if clause within an ActiveRecord validation is not being honoured. My model has an ip_port attribute which I am validating as being present, numeric and within a certain range. I am trying to ensure that each condition only generates one error. I do not want the situation where an empty attribute results in th...
Now, I've used Rails enough to know what the rails command does, but how it does it interests me. The bin/rails file (from github) is as follows: #!/usr/bin/env ruby begin require "rails/cli" rescue LoadError railties_path = File.expand_path('../../railties/lib', __FILE__) $:.unshift(railties_path) require "rails/cli" end As...
I am developing a rails app and I have 2 different user's role: advanced and basic. Instead of to hide links in the basic user's views (a.i. using CanCan ) I want to manage 2 different set of views: one for the advanced user and one for basic user. Currently I am working in this way: case current_operator.op_type when 'basic' ...
I have stumbled on an interesting challenge regarding active record associations: I have an Account model which can have multiple and different organisations attached to it (like for example a Company, a Contractor, a Person) and it also has a different role with each association (accountant, owner, viewer, etc.). So I am not sure what...
I am working on a simple Rails/jQuery HTML templater app which stores a series of pre-designed templates in a database (at the moment I've just saved these as partials to get the basic concept working) and on clicking 'Show code' alongside any one of these template records, a js.erb script should place the corresponding partial within 'p...
I have installed a copy of Gitorious on my own server. Everything so far seems to be okay except the fact I can't login. Any attempt to login(with correct credentials), from multiple browsers, just throws me back to the main page. Logging in with wrong password will just clear password box. What could be causing this? ...
I only want to find the records that aren't null or empty/blank, currently I have; named_scope :in_gallery, :conditions => ["gallery IS NOT NULL"] (gallery is a string) but if the user inputs then deletes a title then this empty string is included in the results. to clarify I want to be able to select only the entries where the field...
Hi, I'm having a hellava time with Rails these past two days.

We have a requirement to have comments on an application auto-moderated for obscenities etc. There will still be a real world moderating looking at comments, but they want to filter out the really bad stuff automatically. What would be the best way to do this? ...
Exploring around S3's UI, it seems they only enjoy file uploads from my local box. Is there a way to push the files directly from my production server to an s3 account? ...
I'm completely new to Mongo and RoR, coming from a PHP background. I was just going through this tutorial about data modelling http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MongoDB+Data+Modeling+and+Rails and was struck with the question of why the tutorial would recommend storing the votes in a field and updating that field as db.stories.upda...
I'm currently working in a service that has an API access through Oauth. I recently noted than Twitter will add support to xOauth, a lighter protocol intented for mobile and desktop access. It's possible to add xAuth support for my site or is only a Twitter technology? Thanks, Toño ...
Well, everything's in the title but I'll explain a little more :-) My rails app contain many forms (Ajaxified or not). To prevent users to submit twice or more some forms, I use Javascript. There's my scenario for a Ajaxified form : the user submit the form (clic or enter) the javascript disable the submit button the rails controlle...
I have two models A and B where updating B in some cases causes updates to A as well (done in model code). Now, in my UI, I want to display A and B in same page and can have their own operations (e.g. update some field in them). I don't want to reload the whole page on any update. My question is: I would like to put UI code for A and B...

Is there any way to access this duplicate item? For example, say I first enter a record called Expired with code EXP. Then I enter Experie...
