[Rails] Re: Would ROR be a good choice to build my site?
Utilizing Wordpress & VBulletin together with Rails isn't the best idea. It's do-able but it's the way Rails was intended to be used... so whoever does it will need to jump through hoops. I'd recommend looking at Rails based alternatives. Beast & Rboard are open source projects for forums. On the blogging side, there isn't anything as nice as Wordpress on Rails but you might look at Typo, Mephisto & BrowserCMS. On the video uploading side, you've got Panda (http://pandastream.com) you could utilize to upload & process videos. For the rest of the project, Rails would be a good fit, particularly since it sounds like you'll mostly be doing CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update & Delete on records.) Overall, my answer to your question is Yes. Rails is well suited for your app. On May 28, 8:45 pm, Jack Jackson wrote: > Would ROR be a good choice to build my site? > > Hi Gang, > > I'm in the process of developing a social media-ish site built around > WordPress and VBulletin forum.

Jeff Schwab wrote: > That's how I was taught MVC, long before I'd heard of Ruby: Models do > some basic checking, but business logic belongs in the controller. That > was the point of the controller; it gave a central place to put business > logic. Could you cite? It's flat-out wrong, and a friend of mine seems to have flubbed an interview by stating the correct answer. The Model should store things your boss says, like "client X can handle Visas and Mastercards, but client Y can handle only Visas". Business rules. Because controllers are busy controlling, you can't refactor the crap out of them, to leverage tricks like inheritance. X could inherit Y, and add Mastercard handling. (Please note that's a contrived example that would not withstand even cursory domain-driven analysis!;) Models have only one predefined role - persistence into a database - so they are free to otherwise refactor their logic around until it's DRY. If you wrote a non-trivial Rails app without this refactoring and designing, your controllers are going to rapidly devolve into unmanageable brambles of tangled thorny logic... In a system where the controllers are not so constrained (CGI, Ajax, HTTP, etc.) they are free to refactor into more subtle designs. Some projects, using other platforms, could conceivably store lots of business rules in objects that also control. That still does not mean it's a good idea. >> The Model should be as fat as possible. Anything a user can do to the biz >> rules, >> thru the View, unit test can do to the Model directly. > > That's not necessarily true. That is extremely necessarily true. Defining designs in terms of how to test-drive their creation is a simple but powerful way to explain generic design guidelines. Think, for example, of the tests required to generate one of the designs in the book /Design Patterns/. When you are writing an application, you should respond to the business rules in your requirements by TDDing them into your models first, then wiring them up to your Views. There's simply no counter-example for this practice. >> So the question is: Where did this disinformation come from?

Fat controllers may have been advocated by MS back then. MFC exploits "vendor lock-in" by tempting you with a wizard.

Regardless of the direction data travels, a controller should dispatch to the view or model as soon as possible. For example... Model.create! params[:model] That common idiom passes parameters directly into the createe, in the model. This might look like a violation of the rule "no view data leaking into the model", where the params[] are indeed CGI Query details wrapped up in a convenient package, but note that params[:model] should only contain data primitives - strings and strung integers. In real life coding, actions can get thick. They might need to use lots of if statements to triage input, for example. The rule "all biz logic in the model" is not a rule, it is a goal. The closer you get to it, and the more often you refactor a design towards that goal, the better. -- Phlip --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Well, some ideas: * Get the whole dataset (or each batch of 3000) into memory with one query before operating. No sense in making the database bottleneck any worse than it has to be. * Find a way to do the calculations on the DB side, using aggregate functions and/or (gasp!) stored procedures. This will probably be easier if you're using PostgreSQL or Oracle, since mySQL's procedural language is so weak as to be unusable for non-trivial work. * Provide more detail and we might be able to help more.

I wasn't exactly talking about problems. I never really had any *problems* as such with Rails and Eclipse. It just got to feel like trying to run wearing ski boots after a while, and I didn't like that. I'll turn around the question: why NetBeans?

Heh? you are disagreeing rather strongly based on a program that you have never used? We use netbeans as our Rails dev environment, and have had no problems at all.

[Rails] Asking for help with operating on data
I have a few thousand rows of stock market data - one row for each day. I'm using ActiveRecord to perform database operations. I'm interested in performing a calculation on each row while incorporating the result of the calculation on the previous row, and then once the calculation has been performed for all rows, perform a new calculation that uses the individual calculations of each row. I figure that I'll start with an array of size 3,000. Then I would probably want to iterate over it, possibly saving the result of the operation of each row to a new array but this area is a little foggy.

[Rails] Re: I need a lot of advice here - let's start from the beginning
The other thing to consider (I had a quick look at VirtualBox the other day) is that the VMWare vms are portable across OSs, while VirtualBox's aren't So, if you are using vmware, your dev vm on vista will run on vmware player on Linux, but this doesn't apply for VirtualBox. However, they have some sound reasons for this, including making the vm files smaller. On Fri, 29 May 2009 09:36:15 +0800, Jim wrote: > > Yup, you are correct.

Yup, you are correct. It's possible to download a VMware appliance that has Ubuntu. I actually haven't tried any premade appliances yet. I used to use VMware server until they changed it so I couldn't really use it as standalone. I'm using VMware player now but using my own empty template so I can set up any OS I want.

We are using VMWare on Vista, and having no problems. I have had a bit of a look at VirtualBox, but the tools for vmware seem a bit more complete. On the 'harder to set up' issue, there are appliances that you can download that are pretty much a complete ubuntu vm. Just download and away you go.

[Rails] Re: I need a lot of advice here - let's start from the beginning
I use Vista Business edition. You shouldn't have any problems with VirtualBox. I use Vmware player, but it's a bit harder to setup initially so I can't recommend that for now. Just download the Ubuntu iso file from ubuntu.com and use that as a cd image in virtualbox. The instructions for installing Ubuntu as straight forward. I recommend 8GB disk space on virtualbox for this. Here's a great link for installing RoR on Ubuntu 8.04. http://www.rubyhead.com/2008/04/25/installing-ruby-rails-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron/ I don't know what your background in programming is, but Programming Ruby would be good to read after ~100pages of the Rails book. If you need more background in programming, maybe the Learn to Program book might be useful. You'll only need basic linux commands for most of what you'll do. Quick google searches will help you. I haven't read any linux books, so I can't suggest anything. I think you'll be surprised at how easy Ubuntu will be to use.

Sometimes a savvy user can send HTTP requests to a Rails > application without going through any view, but that's not the intent. No, I really understand how Rails, HTTP browsers work, and I maintain that controllers handle input and decide how to change what the user sees in response. This is partially in response to a later response you made to Brian. if we step back and see how the user interacts with a web application through a browser, the first step is to make the initial request by getting the browser to send an http request to the app. This happens when he does something like typing a url into the address bar, or following a link. The http request, typically a get here is the input I'm talking about. That input in the form of a request is routed to a controller, which typically interacts with one or more models, then renders something. That something is typically an html page from a rendered view, but could also be json, javascript, or a partial dom replacement for an ajax call, often view are involved in the rendering of this response. The only thing that views have to do with input is to provide affordances by which the user may cause additional input requests to happen, whether they be links, buttons which generate ajax requests, etc. but the input is processed by the controller in the web application. > One piece of "heavy lifting" still done by the controllers is access > control; Models know how to answer questions, and don't intrinsically > care who's asking.

[Rails] Re: I need a lot of advice here - let's start from the beginning
1,2. I would highly recommend doing it on Linux. You can easily do this while still using Windows by using virtual machine software such as VirtualBox(virtualbox.org) or Vmware(vmware.com). Go with Virtualbox. It's pretty good and easy to use and FREE. You won't have to worry about rebooting or dual-booting. It will let you run Linux under Windows. So, just install Ubuntu into it. I recommend Ubuntu 8.04 desktop. Afterwards, just google how to install RoR onto Ubuntu 8.04 and you'll get a couple of good pages with great step by step instructions. It won't as hard as you think. 3. I found the Agile Web Dev with Rails book to be very good for getting started over a year ago. It takes you through a simple project and get your familiar with the basic stuff. Afterward it runs through more detailed information you'll probably want to also use. 4. If your deployment environment is Linux, then go development in Linux. It'll make your life easier when you encounter and solve problems on linux during development instead of running into them when you deploy. Good luck. On May 28, 4:48 pm, "J.

If I work with the MySQL client (mysql), I can create records with primary keys identical, except for an accent. Doing the same thing in the Rails console throws an DuplicateKey exception. Using mysqldump to dump the contents of a table, changing the table so the primary key is a integer-string composite and trying to repopulate the table from the mysqldump output also barfs on a duplicate key exception. It is non-optimal, but I can live for the moment with a table with two non-unique indexes.

That connotation may not be expressed by your dictionary, but I assure you, "perverse" is a very nasty way of referring to something, and implies strong disapproval. The most common use of the word is probably in relation to sex crimes. It's just not a nice thing to say.

A user typically deals with a web page, entering information in (e.g.) a styled form. The controller only deals with "input" in the sense of HTTP requests, and it doesn't know whether they come directly from some hacker, or from an XMLHttpRequest object in some Ajax application. In such a case, btw, the Controller sends back XML directly, without going through the view; so, if we're going to take the stance that Controllers deal with input directly, then we also have to see them as providing output directly. It makes more sense, IMO, to see the View as defining the UI, and the Controller as an implementation detail. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[Rails] ActiveScaffold - undefined method `link' for #
Has anyone encountered this error message with the ActiveScaffold
plugin?
I'm working on Windows XP (yes) with Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.3.2. I
just created a new, fresh Rails application with a single model
("users"), installed the ActiveScaffold plugin, and followed the other
two steps in the ActiveScaffold Getting Started tutorial.
When I run the app, and browse to the resource (e.g.
http://localhost:3000/users)
I immediately see the following:
NoMethodError in UsersController#index
undefined method `link' for #
Look familiar? What am I missing? I haven't done anything to the
application except what was required by the tutorial.
Am I the *only* developer trying this plugin under Windows?
Many thanks for any pointers.

You have hit the nail on the head here, that is exactly what migrations will
do for you (ie "add the new table and leave the existing tables alone") in
addition to other things of course.

[Rails] I need a lot of advice here - let's start from the beginning
Hi Everyone, I'll try to make my opening summary as short as possible. I work as a hobbyist in web development (using Dreamweaver CS4, Photoshop CS4, PHP, Swishmax2(flash)). My dominant sites are all on "linux/unix" boxes but I program on a Windows Vista machine. I program for fun with C++, Autoit, Actionscript, and PHP for the most part. My background is that I've been in the IT industry for more than 16 years and I'm an extreme troubleshooter but I'm also a Windows System Administrator. That basically means I'm a jack of all trades where windows is concerned because I've seen a lot of things over the years as I dabble a lot. I have a photographic memory with a logical foundation set within. Therefore, I learn a lot faster than most people because I can retain information like a sponge to water. I have a lot of time available (in-between job searches right now) so I decided to spend my time wisely. About one week ago, I decided to push into Ruby with the idea that I'll eventually get into Ruby on Rails. I've researched it and it's the route I want to go. Anyhoo, I do not use linux and am not very familiar with linux. Some folks say it's not hard to use Ruby on windows and it's come a long way so I started pulling in some research materials. Here's what I've accomplished in one week so far: I read my first ruby book (Beginning Ruby - From Novice to Professional) by Peter Cooper. I installed Ruby using the one-click-installer I learned how to install and use gems. I learned the difficulty with installing gems that needed --platform=mswin32 I created my first program from scratch (an html parser I called scraper.rb) which pulls statistics off a website and stores it in yaml. I was instantly thrilled with the concept of classes, methods, even happy with how interpolation worked with variables. I thought to myself this is going to be great! I can design a class based app that can become modular as I build it and not suffer through past programming experiences. I was just about to get into RoR when I thought to myself it might be better to go with the latest ruby. So, I managed to upgrade my ruby to 1.9.1. I ordered another book from O'Reilly which is supposed to help with transitions from 1.8 - 1.9. I found out there were a lot of issues upgrading, namely with how a lot of the gems I used to be able to use no longer worked. The biggest issues I face now are using mysql on windows and also that my DBs online are 5.1. Keep in mind the online DBs are in fact on a linux/unix box and not on a windows but I do my programming on a windows box. Make sense? I hope so. It's just a convenience for me because I'm more fluent with windows. However, now I cannot get mysql to work. I did work through a lot of websearches and found the best install fix for me was something like: gem install kwatch-mysql-ruby --platform=mswin32 --source=http://gems.github.com/ However, when I tried to install it, I get the following error: *** ERROR: can't find mysql client library. *** extconf.rb failed *** I use mysql 5.1 on my windows machine and use Wampserver as my original development server/platform. So, I'm a little frustrated but I know I can get through this. And, I don't want to give up on Ruby at all. So, my questions are as follows: 1. What would you recommend I do concerning developing on a windows box when my websites are located on linux/unix. Is it doable? Do I have to make a lot of adjustments? 2. If I had to go to linux to use RoR effectively, how steep is the learning curve going to be and what would I need to do to ensure that I can dual-boot on both vista and linux where appropriate? 3. What other suggestions can you give me to help improve my transition to ruby on rails (things that you might have encountered and learned from) 4. Is it worth it to stick with RoR as a native windows user or should I be thinking about something else. I apologize for the very long post but I needed to start with a wide audience to retrieve the best answers. Many thanks to any who read and respond accordingly.

[Rails] Why won't my ActionMailer work inside the controller?
I've got a basic mailer setup and am simply trying to get a Hello
message through. If I go into script/console and execute
Emailer.deliver_message("mys...@mydomain.com","My subject", "My
message")
it works fine.
However, if I fire up a controller with a test method that invokes the
same thing
def test
Emailer.deliver_message("mys...@mydomain.com","My subject", "My
message")
end
I never see the message. Something obvious I'm missing in the context
of running it in the controller?

Time.parse("01.12.2008") => 2008-12-01 whould be correct. I found
already the function _parse in lib/ruby/1.8/date/format.rb. But before I
change in this file, must be really sure, there is no other solution.

[Rails] Rails collection_select syntax issue
I'm trying to display unique counties listed in my database in select
box for a property database. I've figured out how to do this, but now
I can't figure out how to access the selected value of the select.
This mainly has do with the way the HTML select name is outputted.
My form code, county is an attribute for my property model:
<%= collection_select(:property, :county,
@Counties, :county, :county, {:prompt => true}) %>
This outputs the HTML
Please select
Pearl River
Marion
Stone
Lamar
Forrest
Jones
Washington
It is the []'s in the select name "property[county] that is giving me
fits. The other items in the search form use select_tag so the output
is simply "min_price" rather than "property[min_price]". This is
causing a syntax error when I'm trying to put together my search
results array in my Property model:
def self.find_by_lcc(params)
where = []
unless params[:mls].blank?
where << "mls = :mls"
end
unless params[:county].blank?
where << "county = :county"
end
unless params[:min_acreage].blank?
where << "acreage >= :min_acreage"
end
unless params[:max_acreage].blank?
where << "acreage <= :max_acreage"
end
unless params[:min_price].blank?
where << "price >= :min_price"
end
unless params[:max_price].blank?
where << "price <= :max_price"
end
if where.empty?
[]
else
find(:all,
:conditions => [where.join(" AND "), params],
:order => "city, price desc")
end
Due to the county problem all the records are being listed rather than
just the properties within that county. The browser URL string I'm
getting is:
public/land?mls=&property[county]
=Stone&min_acreage=0&max_acreage=1600&min_price=0&max_price=160&commit=Search
I have searched for answers on this for a couple of days and I'm sure
it's a simple syntax method I need to use in compiling my search
array.
Thanks for any help!

[Rails] Time.parse seems to fail
Hi,
it's seems to me the function Time.parse has an error:
ok- Time.parse("12/01/2008") => 2008-12-01
Error - Time.parse("01.12.2008") => 2008-01-12
Or is there an option/timezone I have to chnage, so it will work
correctly?

But it seems that controllers DO handle user input for the typical web application. A view helps a user format that input, but it can't receive anything. In fact, I could just send an http request to a rails application before ever interacting with UI. The controller is what processes this request, consulting models if necessary. The view isn't involved until the application tries to send information back to me. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

That helped. But I only get the first value. Even if I use "items[]".

[Rails] Altering text field value on form load
Suppose I have a model, 'Associate', and it has a string member,
'branch'. Sometimes branch can end with a percent sign (%) and
sometimes not.
I have a form to display the Associate data. In the branch field, I am
simply putting whatever text is in branch, before (to the left of) the
input box. In the input box itself, I either want to show the % sign
if branch ends in %, or, nothing.
How can I specify this? Below is my stab at it -- SUppose the branch
is '34%' , Of course, the way I have it, what shows in the text box is
the full branch of 34%, wherein, in this case, it should just be %.
<% form_for @associate do |f| %>
<%= f.label @associate.branch.split("%") %><%=
f.text_field :branch %>
<% end %>
(In my model, I have a before_save. which will set branch to that
original portion of branch left of the %, plus whatever is in the text
box. In so doing, no one can ever bring themselves up the branch-
coding tree, see?) -JannaB

[Rails] Re: how to create dependent record automatically
> Perhaps if you give us a little more information on A and B, their
> attributes etc., I can offer a little more advice?
>
Well, what I am trying to achieve here is that no way two records are
created in B such that they belong to same record in A. For clear
explanation let me try to map the problem in more realistic way. Let's
say
A => Student {roll_no}
B => Marksheet ( maths, science, sst, student_id )
Now every student has only one marksheet. I want to make sure that for
every student only one mark sheet is created. For this I have
maintained a relationship of 1:1 between STudent:Marksheet. Marksheet
blongs_to Student and Student has_one marksheet.
Marksheet also has a field student_id. And
<<<>.>>will ensure that no two
records are created in a normal situation.
But I am concerned of a rare possibility when through two different
sessions same user is trying to create two marksheets.
Based on my understanding in such cases, this validation might allow
to create two records with the same "stident_id" if in both the
sessions database is fetched when no record was saved.
My approach was to not even to let the user create the record in
Marksheet/ As soon as a Student record is created, I add the
Marksheet record as well. Now I can create and save marksheet record
in normal case but if Marksheet record has validations for NIL fields
( to be left NIL initially for subject fields ) will fail the
validation.
Is it the situation where "locks" are used ??

I didn't read it as an insult...according to the dictionary: 'perversions: a perverted form of something' 'perverted: turned from what is right; misguided; distorted.' Then every MVC implementation that differs from the original is indeed 'distorted' and therefore 'perverted' Do we really need to try and interpret everything as flamebait?

[Rails] Re: How to test that a specific error message is thrown
I'd also recommend checking out rspec. It's a BDD framework that helps you write tests that feel a lot more intuitive than the default rails testing suite. simply install the rspec gem and the rspec-rails gem Specs are written like: describe User do it "should not be valid without a name" do user = User.new user.valid? user.errors.on(:name).should == "can't be blank" end end Hope you find that useful :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[Rails] Re: Know what was updated
That's a great point Philip. I'm actually trying to solve that very problem in a project I'm working on. I want to be able to do exactly what lighthouseapp does when it logs ticket updates. In that case, you have comments that people can make on a ticket. But when someone updates the ticket, I want to create a comment and log who changed what. I've now learned you can't do that with a simple model observer (because I need to know who is updating the ticket, which is part of the session). I searched around on this list and the only thing I've found with any substance is people recommending the cache sweeping recipe from the book rails recipes. I'm digging into that now In your case though, you're creating a separate model (AuditLog) in the controller...I want to keep this out of the controller. Do you have any experience with cache sweeping for this purpose? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[Rails] i18n and count question
Hi.
What is the proper way to handle situations where you need
pluralization with and without adding the count?
The best I could think of is to write it twice:
item:
one: 'item'
other: 'items'
c_item:
one: 'one item'
other: '{{count}} items'
It's not very DRY.
I guess there should be a better way of doing. How do you handle this
situation?

[Rails] Re: how to show dropdown list with selected value?
im fairly new to Ruby On Rails, but I had to do this and here how I
did it.
in my subscriber controller:
def edit
@subscriber = Subscriber.find(params[:id])
@offer = Offer.find(@subscriber.offer)
@offers = Offer.find(:all)
end
In my edit view:
Offer:
<% @offers.each do |offer| %>
<% if @offer==offer %>
<%= offer.name %>
<% else %>
<%= offer.name %>
<%end%>
<% end %>
It may be not the most efficient way since Im fairly new to RoR or to
web programming in general. I just did a if.else checking when in the
list of offers I get the subscriber.offer and added a "selected" a
little bit like your were trying to do

[Rails] Re: shorten a link
Yeah, URI is the library to work with. You could tighten it up and
just do:
homepage = URI.parse("http://www.nyt.com/sports/lakers/123/";).host
On the model, you could put "require 'uri' " but I think its loaded
with Rails by default.

[Rails] Re: Resource routes with further options
map.resources :queries, :member => {:myfunction => :get}
should do just fine, additional parameters don't affect the routing
In my app I have:
map.resources :cdocs, :member => {:linkable => :get}
for one resource, and the linkable invocations take additional
parameters. Remember parameters come after the ? and don't affect the
routing.

[Rails] Re: How to test that a specific error message is thrown
You're welcome. Just a little advice - It's generally better practice to be more specific with the names of your tests. I find it helps define exactly what it is you're testing for.

[Rails] Re: confused on how rails 2.3.2 renders templates
I think I figured out what was going on. When I had a file named "something.html.erb.save" in the view directory, rails 2.3.2 for some strange reason decided to render that template instead of "something.html.erb". When I deleted "something.html.erb.save" then rails 2.3.2 looked for "something.erb" which did not exist, though something.html.erb" did exist. When I restarted web brick however after deleting "something.html.erb.save", then it did find "something.html.erb" ok.
