Hi Everyone, I have been working on a Rails template recently called BaseApp2. You can see it on GitHub here: http://github.com/dannyweb/BaseApp2 There is an administrators section setup which allows the management of Users and I am working on the ability to add announcements to the public site via the admin section. What I would rea...
I have a settings model with a column options, and set it to serialize with serialize :options. In my view, I have a multiple selection box, using select("settings", "options", ['option1','option2','option3'], {}, :multiple => true) which works fine so long as the user selects at least one option. However, if they don't select any opti...
I am trying to run some custom SQL during the setup of my Rails integration tests to prepare a legacy database (e.g., to create its tables, create any required views, etc.), which is not part of my schema.rb (nor do any migrations for it exist). Are there any best practices for doing so? Googling has not been very enlightening so far ;-...

I'm working on Ruby on rails 2.3.8, and I'd like to build a functionality to follow users.

I'm working on a rails project for an Australian website. As a result, they want to be able to enter date formats in the more european-standard of 'dd/mm/yyyy' rather than the US-centric 'mm/dd/yyyy'. I have an ActiveRecord model with a Date field. I'm using jQuery's datepicker to provide the date select on a text field, and have it s...
I'm trying to move past the beginner stage of Rails and into the intermediate but I'm finding it hard to find more advanced examples to learn from. For example, I've read that you need to be careful about "Nested Routes" and shouldn't go more than 2 deep. What happens in a situation like this? Customer can place many Orders Orders c...
With actions such as :show and :edit, I can just http GET them. But since the :update action has no template, I can't issue a GET without it complaining about the missing template. That makes sense, so I tried to directly call @controller.update in my test, but I get an error on the respond_to block: NoMethodError: undefined method `p...
We are using has_many_polymorphs along with acts_as_list. Everything works fine locally, but on heroku, we get an error everytime a couple of acts_as_list methods are called. Namely those that update a number of records with new positions because of an addition or a deletion of an item in the list. Example of acts_as_list method: def ...

What's the pros and cons with these (preferably from a asp.net (mostly version 2.0) perspective). Anyone who has any insights? ...
