[Rails] Re: Getting started with ROR when you come from the desktop world with no experience in developing web application
Tarek - I went through what you're about to go through and actually enjoyed the process :) I hadn't programmed anything for 12 years Buy the Ruby Pickaxe book. Buy Agile Web Development with Rails (wait for next edition) Find a hosting company that supports RoR if you need hosting. Use mod_rails to deploy. It took me a few iterations to understand the whole Model-View- Controller idea. I know zero about HTTP, DHTML, XML, DOM I know a very, very little about Javascript You need to start understanding CSS at some point but it comes later and as you need it, I found. Work hard to understand Ruby. And just abandon the for loop as quickly as you can. The learning curve was steep for me but it's fun to learn new stuff.

[Rails] Do I require a polymorphic link??
Hi there. I'm very new to RoR, and I'm writing my first 'web app' and already I think I need a one-to-many polymorphic join. The reason I'm writing this is because it is causing me a real headache. After sitting at my pc for what seems like 4 four solid days, I'm not getting anywhere. Here's the scenario; A user profile photo will be displayed based on which profile he/she has selected. There are three different types. a) Monthly photo b) Daily photo c) Specific date in year. Each of these are all different tables because they hold slightly different types of data. So 'Monthly' would have at most 12 rows per user, whereas 'daily photos' and 'specific date' tables would have an unlimited amount of rows of data assigned to a user. Does anyone know how best to go about to achieve this? I've tried using the example of the polymorphic join in AWDR V2, but it seems to be a one 2 one relationship. I can't seem to get the One 2 many to work at all. I suppose my question is this; Can anyone help with One to Many polymorpphic joins before the last of my hair falls out! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ruby on Rails: Talk group.

Updating @registration and @customer with the .attributes method did the trick perfectly. I am off to experiment with the validates_associated :customer. Could you explain a little more what you changed and why. I will do my best; it certainly helps to re-enforce what I've learned. In your example you provided, what was to me, a novel idea in terms of updating the @snowplow_registration and @customer objects. When these objects were first created in the update method, they had the properties of a newly fetched record from the database. It wasn't until I called on each of these: @snowplow_registration.update_attributes!(params[:snowplow_registration]) @customer.update_attributes!(params[:customer]) respectively, did the newly created objects, instantiated at the beginning, take on the properties of my submitted form. My problem was that when the transaction failed during the first update, I would never see the newly created @customer object updated with my form information. By calling the .attributes = params[] method on each of these BEFORE I started my transaction I now had in memory the new form data I entered to pass to my rescue catch. In your code, you check the Customer object before submitting it to be written. I was about to write about how important it was for me to do this update in a transaction because of the possibility of the database failing in between writes and how your code didn't account for that. I glanced over your code when I saw: if @snowplow_registration.valid? customer_valid and simply assumed you were doing a standard non-transactional save to the database. Now that I'm inspecting this more closely, I see that you did-in-fact keep this a transactional operation. Here is the code I am using now: def update @snowplow_registration = SnowplowRegistration.find(params[:id]) @customer = @snowplow_registration.customer @snowplow_registration.attributes = params[:snowplow_registration] @customer.attributes = params[:customer] SnowplowRegistration.transaction do @snowplow_registration.update_attributes!(params[:snowplow_registration]) @customer.update_attributes!(params[:customer]) flash[:notice] = 'Snow Plow Registration was successfully updated.' redirect_to(@snowplow_registration) end rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid = e @customer.valid? render :action = edit end As you can see the only changes I've made from my first post are: 1) I originally had in my 3rd line: @customer = Customer.find(@snowplow_registration.customer) and changed it to what you had: @customer = @snowplow_registration.customer I thought your way looked cleaner. 2) I then added: @snowplow_registration.attributes = params[:snowplow_registration] @customer.attributes = params[:customer] as I explained above, this did the trick to update BEFORE my transaction occurred, the @customer and @registration classes. I had to change nothing else from my original example as the checks are already in place. One little improvement: Use save_without_validation! to prevent the validations from being run twice. Another good thought, however what I am using now doesn't have the same duplication as your suggested code does. Unless of course when I call the attributes method it runs a check then as well. I'm not sure that is the case. I'll have to think about that. Thank you so much for this discussion and all the wonderful new tidbits you've showed me.

[Rails] Hosting Email
How do folks handle email for their web startup? I have my rails app handling all of its email chores beautifully using sendmail and ActionMailer. New Account Confirmation, Forgotten Password Email, Monthly Newsletter, etc. DNS points to our server using MX records and we're good to go. My issue is how do I handle my corporate email -- employee email, etc? I would really like to use google's private label hosing capability (i'm talking about google hosting [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOT [EMAIL PROTECTED]) as the Mail User Agent (MUA). However, I can't figure out how to get employee mail to bypass our web app and go to the Mail User Agent while still maintaining the MX record link to our web app for the web apps business(again, preferably google's corporate email handling). It's as if I need two sets of MX records -- one for the web app traffic and one for our corporate/employee email. What have other folks done? Am I missing something fundamental? For example, is there a way to have sendmail accept all email but then bounce the employee email over to an outside MUA (again, maybe google)? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ruby on Rails: Talk group.

[Rails] Re: Getting started with ROR when you come from the desktop world with no experience in developing web application
If you already have experience with software development and you have a comfortable work environment (i.e. OS, editor, web browser,...) then I say go for it. There are so many related protocols et.al. dumped into the interweb (HTML, XHTML, XML, blah blah blah) that if you try to bone up on all of them before you start you 1) won't start or 2) will start so far from RoR that you'll likely forget why you wanted to in the first place. There is definitely a Unix bias here (read MacOSx and Linux in it's many flavors) that will give you a slight penalty if you're working in the MS world (there are those of us who think that's only fair...;-) I think there are two ways to approach the learning curve. The first is to go the study method: 1) Pickaxe == AgileWeb == AdvancedRailsRecipes = DeployingRailsApps I would include Obie Fernandez' TheRailsWay in this list. This is a very good path for the patient and, even if you don't follow it (the one true way) religiously, the books should be always at hand in some form for reference. 2) For the impatient, take a look at RailsSpace by Hartl and Prochazka. You can follow along the development of a fairly simple project and get a good feel for the way the big ideas (REST, MVC, DRY, buzz buzz buzz) look in code. My guess is that some combination of the two is good for just about anyone. You'll also want to get very familiar with various chat groups - this is a good one. Just monitoring the conversations will give you a good idea of what the current active issues are. One added thing is some kind of IDE or just a smart editor. I've always found that emacs is a fine tool to have around, NetBeans (by Sun) provides a fairly full IDE that runs on different platforms. NetBeans is an active area of development itself with real work being done to support RoR. Most important is have fun.

[Rails] Re: Getting started with ROR when you come from the desktop world with no experience in developing web application
It depends on what you have interest in doing. For my applications, there database focused. So here is the getting something going in the shortest possible time. 1. Get the Ruby Cookbook fro Oreilly. (Keep on your desk) 2. ProActive Record is another one I would keep handy. 3. Choose a project. 4. Use the following plugins: a. ActiveScaffold b. Tabnav/Widgets 5. Use sqlite to start. (I used oracle to start, but I work in a enterprise) 6. Start your app. The lovely part of using activescaffold, is its highly customizable. So you can go far not writing any dhtml/xml/dom/css. Yes your have a enterprisey looking app, but your have it in short order. I've done apps with 20-30 tables, write a conversion script to import the data, write a generator script to generate controllers and models, and had it up and running and usable in 4 days. It all depends on the type of applications you want to do. You might want to look at mentalpagingspace.blogspot.com lots of experience I've gained in using ruby and rails for large scale corp applications. At this point I feel I can do anything from a Stock trading applications to a MRP/ERP system using ruby on rails. (And can do it in windows or linux).

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the tip. I've been busy so I haven't tried to do this just
yet but I'm sure it would remove the images. The idea is to move the

deploy:symlink task.
Thanks again for the tip, I'm sure a lot of people will be grateful for

[Rails] Re: Unable to install sqlite3
This is a known problem. Hope the link below helps: http://domhackers.blogspot.com/2008/09/sqlite3-ruby-gem-on-windows.html Cheers, Mohit. 11/3/2008 | 2:04 PM. Hammer Ting wrote: I am new to Ruby. Try out a web application, but when I tried to access the page, it has the following error (see ERROR 1 below). So I thought I may have not installed sqlite3 and tried downloading sqlite_3-6-4.zip and sqlitedll_3-6-4.zip, unzipped it and place it in ruby's bin directory. Then I run the command: gem install sqlite3-ruby But found myself encounter the another error shown below (see ERROR 2).

[Rails] Re: Reading value from .yml file in controller

I was going to take a different tack. Assuming this isn't a test
fixture
but just a file that is being used from somewhere to set default
values
for new objects, then you could do:
default_values=YAML.load_file('path/to/get_value.yml')
There are probably other ways to set defaults rather than loading up a
file like this though.
You could embed them in a class method in the model and just pull them
out when you
need them. Or maybe apply them in a callback (http://
api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Callbacks.html) like
before_create. Or use :default in your migration when defining the
table - might not be appropriate doing this with id's though.
Callback example:
class Foo ActiveRecord::Base
before_create :apply_defaults
private
def apply_defaults
self.field1='val1' if self.field1.blank?
end
end

[Rails] Re: Reading value from .yml file in controller
Hi Thanks for the reply.May I ask one more question? As Daniel Bush said this isn't a test fixture but just a file that is being used to set default values..So my question normally in which directory I can store this yml file whether inside models or view or anywhere?
