[Rails] Creating/Updating Models from text/xml Requests
I'm curious how others would deal with this situation. In my case, I have: class Package has_many :deliveries end class Delivery belongs_to :package belongs_to :region end class Region has_many :deliveries end And accept XML requests in the following manner: Good Shipment Failure US Unknown FR Now, my controller would look something like this ugly beast: class PackagesController def create if package = params[:package] package = Package.find_or_initialize_by_name(package) if deliveries = package.delete(:deliveries) deliveries.each do |d| region = d.delete(:region) region = Region.find_or_create_by_name(region[:name]) break if region.nil? package.deliveries.create(region) package.deliveries[-1].region = region end end end #save and more... end end As one can see, this is horrible for several reasons. One of the big ones being request validation and error handling. Overriding package.from_xml is an option, but I find myself thinking that I should be validating against request.body with say a DTD, as opposed to picking apart the params hash. (Though I'll have to pick it apart anyways to create the models...) Then I find my self thinking that creating a course grained validation method like a DTD is stupid since I have my fine grain validation logic within the given models. Yes, I've heard of ROXML.

[Rails] Date Validation for date_select
I am new to Rails and I am building this website based on the tutorials
from a book called Railspace. My problem is I have a form page which
accepts the date for
a birthdate field
Birthdate
<%= date_select :spec, :birthdate,
:start_year=>Spec::START_YEAR,
:end_year=>Time.now.year,
:include_blank=>true,
:order =>[:month, :day, :year]
%>
It works fine when I enter correct dates but when I try entering
something like Feb 31 2009 it gives me the following error.
1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes
My parameter variable shows that its being passed as 3 seperate values
(that is my understanding please correct me if I am wrong)
{"commit"=>"Update", "spec"=>{"city"=>"Atlanta", "occupation"=>"Software
programmer", "zip_code"=>"21312", "birthdate(1i)"=>"1907",
"gender"=>"Male", "birthdate(2i)"=>"2", "birthdate(3i)"=>"31",
"first_name"=>"Dilbert", "last_name"=>"Dilbert", "state"=>"Georgia"}}
I cannot seem to validate this using the validate method on the
controller as I am unable to fetch the values of the parameters.
Ive tried using something like
def validate
if (birthdate.month==2 && birthdate.day > 29)
errors.add(:birthdate, "Invalida date")
end
but its seems to completely bypass this. It works correctly when i
simply type
if(birthdate.month==2 )
errors.add(..)
but I dont seem to understand why I cannot validate it.
Could someone explain this to me.
Thanks in advance.

As you point out, there's JRuby, which I've heard some larger "enterprise" type stuff is running on. I've even talked to a few folks who are sneaking Rails apps into their otherwise Java-only infrastructure that way. However, you'll also find that a lot of folks have come to Rails (from Java/.Net) specifically to get away from the enterprise crowd.

Maybe use something like NewsItem or simply News, which rails will properly pluralize as "News." In this case the table name will be news.

[Rails] Observers and outside methods
I'm thinking about using observers for my situation. Basically whenever an object is created, I want a message to be sent to a user via a PM system I made. At the moment this is happening within the create method of the controller. I tried putting this in a callback in the model, but it seems methods such as the URLs (users_path) and current_user don't work in models. Since observers are also a type of model, I was wondering if these methods don't work in them either? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Right, but that approach also means that I will be using all reviews for

The only reason I'm going through the hassle of trying to make it

[Rails] Non-ActiveRecord observers
Hi, I'm integrating DataMapper in a Rails project, and I'm stumbling on some problems, which I knew would happen. One of them is that Rails just loads ActiveRecord's observers, and that, of course, doesn't work with DataMapper's. Does anyone knows if there's a plan to make this works well in the future? Is that in the roadmap (assuming there's one) to Rails 3? Should I open a ticket on Lighthouse?

[Rails] Help with sorting / ordering
Hi! I hope someone can offer some insight or direction into a problem I'm having. In my application, I have two tables: products and reviews. - Products stores information on things that are sold - Reviews store comments from users that purchased the product, as well as boolean field about if they would purchase again. The models are setup so that products has_many reviews and reviews belong_to their respective products. So my question is this: How can I structure a query so that I can order products based on the number of people who would purchase it again? It'd be alot easier for me, and probably my server, if I just kept a running count of those in the actual product record, but I'm trying to keep it dynamic so that I can create custom reviewer sets elsewhere. Thanks in advance for any direction. -- 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] Interesting arrangement
Hi all, I have been asked to develop an app which basically displays 100 images on a homepage arranged in a 10 x 10 grid. I have been using attachment_fu to upload images although I hear great things about paperclip. Anyway, that is the easy part. Does anyone have any advice about how best to arrange the images on the page in a clever database way so I can just call all of the pictures in my controller and they will each be allocated to a space on the grid automatically? I know this isn't a pure rails problem, but whilst I can think of lots of long-winded manual ways of arranging images, I am sure there must be better way.

[Rails] Re: rails, passenger, and images
Check your app's source. Look for anything dealing with asset_host. My guess is something is prepending this to your image helper, and asset_host will do that if you tell it to. If you create a new Rails app, you'll be able to test this out by making a controller and a view. On the view, just link to the rails.png image in the /images folder that ships with a defalt app. <%=image_tag "rails.png" %> If that gives you trouble, then it's not your code.

[Rails] date_select and HTML options?
I have the following code, but can't seem to get the class attribute
to show up in the generated select elements. I saw something about a
bug/patch. However, as am still learning RoR I didn't want to jump to
conclusions. Anyone see anything wrong:
<%= f.date_select :expiration_date, :order =>
[:month, :year], :discard_day => true, :class => "dtfld" %>
I've also tried:
<%= f.date_select :expiration_date, {:order =>
[:month, :year], :discard_day => true}, :class => "dtfld" %>

[Rails] Re: rails, passenger, and images
There are not any requests for my images showing up in my apache access_log where I use an image_tag. If I handroll the image ref like: then it shows up fine. But if I use the image_tag helper like: <%= image_tag "icons/add.gif" %> ..it gets rendered like: http://localhost:3000/images/icons/add.gif? 1221425550" /> ..and is broken as a result. My stylesheet and js requests show up because I'm not using the rails helpers (stylesheet_tag_link). I used preference pane to set it up. I was under the impression I did not have to add an entry in my /etc/hosts file. This is a new macbook where I havent used webrick, mongrel, or thin. Any ideas?

[Rails] Re: Proble wuth form
Umm i have a problem.
my routes.rb :
map.resources :encuestas do |encuesta|
encuesta.resources :preguntas do |pregunta|
pregunta.resources :solucions
end
end
I can see perfecly the index of preguntas
Now I want to create a new pregunta.
My url->http://localhost:3000/encuestas/1/preguntas/new
In the preguntas's controller:
def index
@encuesta = Encuesta.find(params[:encuesta_id])
@preguntas = Pregunta.find(:all)
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @preguntas }
end
In the view of new pregunta:
form_for [...@encuesta, @preguntas] do |f|
<%= f.error_messages %>
<%= f.label :texto %>
<%= f.text_field :texto %>
...
end
Encuesta has 2 fields, titulo and descripcion. Both are strings
Pregunta has 3 fields, encusta_id and orden are integer and text is
string.
This is the error message:
NoMethodError in Preguntas#new
Showing app/views/preguntas/new.html.erb where line #8 raised:
undefined method `texto' for #
Extracted source (around line #8):
5:
6:
7: <%= f.label :texto %>
8: <%= f.text_field :texto %>
9:
10:
11: <%= f.label :encuesta_id %>
Encuesta doesn't has texto, texto is a field of preguntas. This form is
for preguntas not for encuesta. Why is supossing that texto is a field
of encuesta??

You almost have it.
@accountsfrompseudo = Enpseudo.find(userpseudo.enpseudo_id,
:include => :accounts)
Or if your "third table" (assuming Userpseudo model)
class Userpseudo
belongs_to :enpseudo
end
Then you get the same result with:
@accounts_from_pseudo = userpseudo.user.accounts

[Rails] Re: Using LIKE
> Thanks, that makes things clearer. But how big is big? I don't plan on > my app being hugely popular, but would thousands of entries be ok? Is > there an area where LIKE starts to be really slow? If it's a blog, I wouldn't think twice about using LIKE. That is, I can't see a blog being big enough for it to become a problem. However, as other folks have said it definitely can be the source of problems down the road. At that point you should look at one of the full text search engines like ferret, sphinx, solr, etc. Also, just so you're aware LIKE in mysql is case-INSENSITIVE. LIKE in PostgreSQL is case-SENSITIVE. So when you're searching for names and are happy doing a LIKE '%ill%' to find those names below, keep in mind that won't work in PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL has an ILIKE for that, but then that's not supported by MySQL. PostgreSQL also has some regex pattern matching functions that are faster, but again I believe are postgres only. Anyway, just something to keep in mind if you think your app might be run with different backends. -philip > On Mar 13, 11:06 am, Charles Johnson wrote: >> On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 12:42 PM, Mike C wrote: >> >>> I've heard that using LIKE is very slow, but I see it being used a >>> lot >>> in examples, blogs etc. Is it really that bad?

Just drop the code into your views...
If you want to make it a bit more configurable, setup a simple admin
tool where your ad guy can paste the adsense code into a text_area and
then include that. Add some keys so in your view you'd do something
like:
<%= AdsenseCode.find_by_key("homepage_bottom_right") %>
Or similar.

I have a postgres database here with an accounts table with 1810 rows. A LIKE search for names like '%ce% returned no rows in 25 ms.

Of course, if your database caches searches and you do the same search repetitively they will get faster and faster. I guess I would not worry about a few thousand rows.

[Rails] Re: Using LIKE
Likes are always slow if you must do a suffix match ( "%something" ), as no index can handle that. But if you're doing a prefix match ( "something%" ) it won't be that bad. And there's no "how big is big". You can have a slow app with a thousand rows and a hundred queries per second, and you can have a fast one with a million rows and a query per second. It all depends on what you're doing. Get a book on database optimization, all big databases have one, then you'll undertand what's fast and what's slow about your database. - Maurício Linhares http://alinhavado.wordpress.com/ (pt-br) | http://blog.codevader.com/ (en) On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 3:11 PM, Mike C wrote: > > Thanks, that makes things clearer.

[Rails] Re: Understanding how methods are made available within controller tests
Makes sense. My only confusion is I thought that in ruby methods and attributes can be imported to a class either through inheritance or importing a module. In this case, these extra attributes such as "session" or "cookies" do not exist within the parent class nor the imported module. Is rails including extra modules within my classes at runtime?

[Rails] Re: Model belongs_to
short answer is no. for several reasons: 1) Rails find methods select all columns by default, and by taking the belongs_to out of the class (which is how i assume u want to "diasble" it) it will still include the attribute customer_id it in the results. 2) Rails doesnt load associated objects by default unless you explicitely tell it to with the :include switch so: order = Order.first => will give you a new Order(customer_id, ...) but the customer it is assocuiated with will not be there! just the reference (id:integer). if i then go order.customer, you will see another select in the logs Order.first(:include => :customer) will load the customer as well. so if i then go order.customer, the db is not touched again because i already loaded it. If you want to speed thing up (a very tiny little bit) check out what methods you are calling in order and only select the attributes you will use. so for example, if you are only marking it complete you can do something like: order = Order.first(:select => :completed) order.update_attributes :completed => true order.save beware that if you (by mistake) need a attribute you have not loaded rails will raise an AttributeNotFound (i think is the name) exception as a sidenote, it is wise not to perform optimisations untill you profile your program as a whole. so as a rule of thumb, od it the simple stupid way first, then gather stats of how your software is ebing used and then optimise on the most comonly used functions. If not, you might end up spending hours optimising a function that is only called once or twice a month.

Association named 'account' was not found; perhaps you misspelled it?
I imagine this means that I have the associations in my models sut-up
wrong.
In my Account model I have: belongs_to :enpseudo
In my Enpseudo model I have: has_many :accounts
Here is the code to my find:
@accountsfrompseudo = Enpseudo.find( :all, :joins => :account,
:conditions => { :accounts => { :enpseudo_id => userpseudo.enpseudo_id
}})
userpseudo.enpseudo_id is a varible that I am getting from yet a third
table that is just containing an enpseudo id.
My question is do I have my models set-up correctly? If someone could
point me to some references on rails and table set-up and associations,
that would be great too. Thanks,
-S

[Rails] Re: Which is the best way to do this? (about save time data
Thanks for your help, Charles. I appreciate it. What I want is the duration needed to complete a specific task. So when I have a lot of tasks, I will be able to search tasks width its durations is bigger that 2 hours and 10 minutes, for example. I don't care about days, monts of yearsM I only need the duration. So, should I use a Datetime in order to make search easy? Again, thanks a lot.

Dealing with languages is a view specific tasks. Models should not be concerned with language specific issues, In my view the pain this is giving you should be viewed like a "toothache." Your code is trying to tell you something is fundamentally wrong. Using pain relievers, might get you by for a time, but eventually the problem will need to be addresses at the source. However, if you have code that needs to be shared between the MVC layers it's common practice to put that code in modules inside the lib directory, which is provided for just this sort of sharing. That doesn't mean, however, that lib is intended to be a "free zone" where rules of MVC don't matter and you're free to break it at will. -- 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: Coding standards
Hi, I 'm rather new to Ruby, but most of what it mentions seems similar to what I've seen so far. The only thing I question is that it says always to include the parentheses around parameter lists. I tend to do the very opposite, only including parentheses when absolutely necessary. I think Phlip said something similar? Unless I totally misunderstood.

[Rails] Helpers in Models
I have an app that relies on a series of helpers to generate language specific text strings for all output. In one of my models I have to save one of these language specific strings to the table. Therefore I've started investigating how I can accesss my helpers in my model - I know this is not best practise, but its the only way I can see to make this work. I know of the solution with including the helper in the model like this: class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base include LanguageHelper end But this is not that good performance wise? How do I reach my helpers in the model in a more efficient way? Or can I construct my code in a more correct way?

[Rails] Select forms
Perhaps I'm thinking a bit 'php' about this. What I'm trying to do doesn't seem to be very 'rails' so I could use some guidance. I'd like to provide filters on data before rendering a table, and I'm thinking that select drop-downs on a form would be one way to achieve this. The user could drop-down select the data to see (in this case for example, selecting English assessment results, or Reading, or Maths; then another select drop-down to select the group of pupils (by cohort), then another for selecting gender, etc. This could all be selected on one form, then submitted and I'd like the page to reload and render the relevant data.

For me, if I were interested in something like "On this date I worked on task-1 for 3 hours and 37 minutes, and task-2 for 2 hours and 7 minutes" I would be recording a date, and then I would convert "hours" and "minutes" to just minutes (3 hours and 37 minutes = 217 minutes) and save the date and the total minutes. All of the Date, DateTime, and Time objects in ruby are related to a calendar, i.e., the want a date and a specific time, not a date and a duration, which seems to me what you are after. Make sense?

Ruby is supported by a real community, not a corporate oligarchy. We have no
motive to pay some flunky to write up a document full of our leaders' whims and
proclivities. Yet our coding standard really does exist - it is the amalgam of
our best literature. For example:
- 2 spaces for indentation
- under_bar not CamelCase
- omit unused keywords, such as return
- omit top-level parens
- the closer to correct English grammar the better
- do-end on multi-line blocks
- {} on blocks followed by .methods
- cram everything onto one line (then wrap it funkily)
You will notice that not all of our standards make sense. Making them official
would only exacerbate this problem.
Ruby's incredibly rich syntax powers our style. For example, the operators 'or'
and 'and' associate more loosely than '=', so we can write:
match.xpath('*').each do |child|
issue = match_nodes(child, node) and
return issue
end
That notation looks unfamiliar, and it saves a couple of lines - without
cramming. It also obeys the perfectly universal coding standard, "Always
promote
the positive path thru a method, and demote the negative or failing path. Make
the failing path low or to the right, and run the positive path down along the
left."
The Official Java Standard doubtless enforced that too...

[Rails] Re: storing and retrieving arrays in mysql using rails
Interesting,
nothing extra tweaks are required to achieve this.
<%= select_tag "days[]", options_for_select([ "Mon", "Tue", "Wed",
"Thu","Fri","Sat","Sun",], "Monday"),:multiple => true %>
This would ensure that your selection is stored into array "days[]".
You can store this as string into db with a delimiter of your choice
[preferably days.join(",")].
hope it was useful, else post me more details :)
