I'm trying to use Formtastic to create a payment form, since I'd like to use the inline errors. I'm using ActiveMerchant to handle the billing.  I have the following form:

            hi,
i am using nested_attributes for an association of products back to a transaction.
I need to add a date to the products model. I would like to add a link to set the date_select to today.
here is the view:
        <% f.fields_for :trans_products do |builder| %>
            <%= render 'trans_product_fields', :f => builder %>
        ...

    :secret_access_key => S3_SECRET
  )

            Before I read this article, I thought access control in Ruby worked like this:
public - can be accessed by any object (e.g. Obj.new.public_method)
protected - can only be accessed from within the object itself, as well as any subclasses
private - same as protected, but the method doesn't exist in subclasses
However, it appears that p...

To make this more efficient, is something like this possible in YAML ?

One approach is to grab the users from the database, then iterate them all quering for favorites and building a unique array, but this se...
