I want to allow users to enter a set of data that will be represented
by a number of rows in a single table.

Should I use an ActiveRecord descendant that does not actually connect
to a table (overriding all the methods that would complain about that
and creating mutators and accessors for all the virtual fields) ?

Or should I use lots of facade columns in the real table's Active
Record and create more instances inside the overriden Save method ?

Cheers

I'm starting with InstantRails with a background in OOP (Object Pascal,
Java, etc.).

I am creating an application that allows the user to enter multiple
values that will each become a tuple in the database table. Where do I
put the code that examines and manipulates the values entered on the
HTML page ?

I prefer not to put them on the controller action of the "next" page
because I want to use AJAX to support a single-page application.

Perhaps I am thinking of this in the wrong way (e.g. old-style,
event-driven, get the data from the user, process the data to the
database). I don't think I can map even simple
one-screen-of-data-is-more-than-one-tuple, but perhaps I am wrong.

TIA

I installed InstantRails. I guess this installs mySql db along with it.
I am using SQL navigator as the IDE to connect to DB.

Now, how do i find the name of the mySQL DB installed in my machine?
and how do i connect to the same?

Early response would be highly appreciate as i am stuck at a stage
wherein i want to connect to the DB and am unable to proceed with My First
R0R Application . :D

OK. So if you can configure it, then what issue are you having?

hi there,

question with selecting in ruby on rails..
how do i get the
select..from.. not in (select table)

this is what i got for now..

@exist_persona_types = Persona.find(:all,
:select => "persona_type_id", #is a foreign of PersonaType
:conditions => [ "member_account_id = ?", session[:loggedin_user_id] ]
)

@remain_persona_types = PersonaType.find(:all,
:conditions => [ "id NOT IN (?)", [1] ] #hard coded
)


@exist_persona_types would get all the persona_type_id that a current
user already has then it should exclude it in the
@remain_persona_types. the problem is i cant get the array of the
@exist_persona_types.persona_type_id. so as of now, i just hard coded
the array of [1]..

can someone help

thanks thanks so much

Hi there,

Chad Fowler, developer of RubyGems, contributing author to Programming
Ruby and author of the upcoming Pragmatic Rails Recipes,will present a
1 day workshop on Ruby and a 3-day workshop on Rails in London, UK on
April 10th.

The Ruby on Rails training will start with a full day overview of the
Ruby language, with content specifically geared toward understanding
what makes Rails work.
More information or to register:
http://skillsmatter.com/ruby-training-course

The Rails Workshop covers all of the major features of Rails.
Delegates will develop their own Ajax-powered applications in Rails by
the end of this course.
More information or to register:

Since July of 2004, Rails has been turning the world of Web
development on its head. In its first year of existence, it has gone
from niche language newcomer to the default choice for Web 2.0
application development.

With a whole new language and new application framework to learn,
these training courses will give you a much needed head start.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you AJAX pros don't mind me asking such a simple question, but
it's been baffling me all weekend. I'm trying to learn the AJAX side
of rails and struggling with what I though would be fairly simple
operations. I'd like to add rows to a table, and use an effect, like
Slide Down or Highlight. However, when I tried to add them in the way
recommended by the book I'm going off of, it didn't work. Here's some
snippits of what I have:

My view:
-------------------------------
<% content_for("page_scripts") do -%>
function item_added()
{
	 var item = $('mytable').lastChild.lastChild;
	 new Effect.Highlight(item);
}
<% end -%>

<h1>Listing</h1>

<%= link_to 'New', :action => 'new' %>

<div id="mytable_div">
<table id="mytable">
<%= render(:partial => 'mytable') -%>
</table>
</div>

<br />
-------------------------------
_mytable.rhtml:
-------------------------------
    <tr bgcolor="#999999">
      <th><font color="#ffffff">Col1</font></th>
      <th><font color="#ffffff">Col2</font></th>
      <th><font color="#ffffff">Col3</font></th>
      <th><font color="#ffffff">...</font></th>
      <th><font color="#ffffff">Col9</font></th>
    </tr>
    <%= render(:partial => 'row', :collection => @items) -%>
-------------------------------
_row.rhtml:
-------------------------------
    <tr bgcolor="#dddddd" id="timecard_<%= timecard.id %>">
      <td><%=h item.val1 %></td>
      <td><%=h item.val2 %></td>
      <td><%=h item.val3 %></td>
      <td>...</td>
      <td><%=h item.val9 %></td>
    </tr>
-------------------------------
Controller's new action:
-------------------------------
    def new
      item = MyClass.new()
      render(:partial => 'row', :object => item, :layout => false)
    end

The row is added by AJAX but no effect is called... any idea what I'm
doing wrong?

-Josh

Hello Everyone. I recently decided to learn Ruby on Rains and love it so far.
Like another
member on this list, RE, I am a PHP developer, however unlike RE I immediately
saw the
benefits of Ruby on Rails. RE, I can't speak to the bloatedness of Ruby yet
because I haven't
done any performance tests, but so far, I am blown away at how quickly I can get
code up
and running. I rebuilt an application that I had built in PHP, and in under an
hour had the
entire backend done, and that was the first thing I did in Ruby, so I was
learning at the same
time. That same admin took well over an hour in PHP...

So far I'm sold. :-)

Just as a reference, what are other list members' levels of experience with RoR?

  Hello Frenz,

  I am Deepak Kalhan. I am new to Madeliene, Ruby and Rails. I am working on Ruby and Rails since Oct.2005. However, I am totally  new to Madeliene. My query is for you people are that, "Can we implement Madeliene on Rails ?"

Please tell me the idea or complete source of it. If you have any URL's then please send me.

Waiting for your reply.

Main site is pumping out so much hype,  what do people really think of it?

Higher ups have been snared by the hype so I have to look at it.

Skeptical for the following reasons(maybe they will be knocked off
one-by-one):
1) extreme amounts of hype are being applied to RoR
2) it's a MVC-like framework therefore by definition a bloated,
contrived approach to doing a dynamic page or two,  or three or four.
3) it hypes the benefits of OO,  it sickens me to hear developers try
to explain the silver bullet of OO to mgmt.
4) it's predictably another sledge hammer being used to push in tacks,
and those tacks being characterized as nails by developers to mgmt.
5) it's developed by web programmers who can't stand what web
programming really entails--HTML,  CSS,  images--pages,  PAGES.
6) eXtreme Programmers are hyping it in their sleep
7) I love PHP,  and thought that is finally the technology to kill the
hopelessly bloated j2ee and dotNET.  But no...we have to look at RoR.

Best Regs,

My todo_controller.rb should have read

------------------------------------------------
class TodoController < ApplicationController
model :todo
         def index
         end
end
------------------------------------------------

Steph

I'm just starting out with RoR (and object-oriented scripting in
general). Following various
write-ups (noteably David Arnold's post & helpful installer at
http://www.tonyarnold.com/
articles/2005/08/10/rolling-with-ruby-on-rails-on-
mac-os-x-tiger-for-beginners ), I've
gotten everything installed on my desktop. Yay!

Next step: Vincent Foley's "Todo List" tutorial: h
ttp://darkhost.mine.nu:8080/~vince/rails/
tutorial.html

* I created a new project
* configured my database
* generated a model and controller
* linked my controller to my model
* started up WEBrick (configuring apache is another question for
another day =P)
* received the expected "Unknown action" error when loading the site
* added an empty method definition to my controller

and the..... recieved a syntax error from it. I've copied and pasted
everything directly from
the tutorial, so I'm guessing that perhaps this is a versioning issue
(the tutorial is for Rails
version 0.9.1, ActionPack 1.0.1, ActiveRecord 1.2.0 and ActionMailer
0.5; I'm uncertain
how to verify which versions I'm using, but everything was updated
via gem last night, so I
would presume its latest stable. rails -v returns "rails: version
unknown").

My todo_controller.rb looks like this:

--------------------------------------------

class TodoController < ApplicationController
model :todo
def index
end

--------------------------------------------

And according to the tutorial, it should return a "Template is
Missing" error.

The syntax error doesn't appear to be terribly detailed (unless
there's something in here
that I'm missing):

------------------------------------------------

SyntaxError in <controller not set>#<action not set>

/app/controllers/todo_controller.rb:5: syntax error
routing.rb:219:in `traverse_to_controller'
generated/routing/recognition.rb:3:in `eval'
generated/routing/recognition.rb:3:in `recognize_path'
script/server:49
Show framework trace
  This error occured while loading the following files:
    ./script/../config/../app/controllers/todo_controller.rb

--------------------------------------------------

pretty much tells me I've done it wrong, but doesn't indicate what
the right way may be....

I've tried googling the error message that I am getting, but so far
I'll I've been able to find
is confirmation that yes indeed, that is a syntax error.  I did find
an IRC log where other
folks doing the tutorial came across the same problem, but nobody
indicated what the
corrected syntax should be.

So, I'm wondering if anybody could either help point out what's wrong
with my .rb file, or
direct me to a resource which spells it out. Its probably the
stupidest of things, but at this
point I just don't know enough about rails to see it :(


Thanks in advance!

Anybody here?

I'm completely new to Ruby on Rails.

I do have an account at TextDrive, and look forward to getting some
sample applications up as soon as I can find to play with RoR. It looks
like the right tool, and I like that they have integrated Ajax into the
newest release.

I'm experienced with every other web-building technology out there, so I
really look forward to trying this.
