[Rails] Having trouble with Validatable

[Bob Smith]

I need to use the level option for my app, so I did 'gem install
validatable'

Next I got an error when it tried to run, so after some searching,
'require 'validatable' in environment.rb

Now it says 'Unknown key(s): level' when a view tries to render a
partial from that model..

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Validatable
belongs_to :household

[Rails] Scriptaculous, snap draggable to droppable or revert

[Anthony Mompoint]

Hello community,

I am a fairly new RoR programmer and I need some help with Scriptaculous
Drag and Drop:

So I have

<%= draggable_element(@div_id, :revert => "failure", :snap => 5) -%>

and a droppable:

<%= drop_receiving_element(@team_div_id,  :with => "'player=' +
(element.id)+ '&position=' + #{draft_position}" ,:complete =>
visual_effect(:highlight), :update=>"status" , :url => { :action =>
"receive_drop"}, :hoverclass => 'hover' ) %>
<% end %>

I would like to allow the draggable to "snap" to a droppable position if
close or revert back to its original position if it isnt near a
droppable.

I have searched over the net but I have been unsuccessful with this
issue. I understand there's the Snap option but I want it to snap INTO a
droppable when close or go back to its original position.

I have found some example code such as:


//


But how do I translate that using drop_receiving_element?

Can anyone help me with this, or point me in the right position?
Essentially its just "Snap to a grid" but I have been unable to find a
simple example. I appreciate the help!

You have to make sure your database is created to utf8 as the default 
character set.

[Rails] Re: rails ROUTING map.root

[Ritchie]

Hi David,

Your conditional routing won't work because routes.rb is evaluated on
startup not per request.

I don't understand the rest of the question. You can't redirect
multiple times per action but you can have multiple possible redirects
in an action as long as only one is executed - does that help?

[Rails] Rail's App structure in Gem?

[elliottg]

I have been looking at the source of some Gems... Within some, I see
an App structure that emulates part of Rail's App structure, i.e,
Controller, Helpers, Models, Views etc

How do Gem centric paths work when a Rails style App dir is part of a
Gem's design? Do paths to contollers and views created in the Gem
defer to it's App dir instead of the rails_root/app?

Any thoughts or links to useful resources are appreciated.

Thanks, Elliott

[Rails] struggling with accepts_nested_attributes_for

[Kevin Tambascio]

Hi,

I've been struggling with getting accepts_nested_attributes_for to work
perfectly with a nested model form.  This is a project that was started
before Rails 2.0, and I'm trying to use new techniques in the new
functionality.  I'm presently using Rails 2.3.4.  I'm down to one last
issue, and I'm not finding an answer so far.

The system I'm building deals with Items that have ResponseItem's as
children (think questions with multiple choices). Creating a new item
works fine.  By default, the item has 12 potential responses.  A form is
rendered that allows the user to enter up to 12 responses.  The saving
of the new item works fine.

The issue is with editing.  Say the item was created with 4 responses.
When the edit form is rendered, 4 of the responses are shown, and the
other 8 are blank (only the first 4 are representing objects in the
databases, the blank ones have no database records).  When the form is
submitted, I'm receiving an HTTP 500 error, with this output in the log:

Completed in 176ms (View: 95, DB: 22) | 200 OK
[http://localhost/items/edit/648?assessment_id=1]

`parse_nested_query'

/opt/jruby-1.4.0/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rack-1.0.1/lib/rack/request.rb:140:in
`POST'


The call stack does not even show my code, it's all framework so far.

The models look like this:

class Item < ActiveRecord::base
  ...
  attr_accessor :response_item_ids
  has_many :response_items
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :response_items, :allow_destroy => true,
:reject_if => proc { |attributes| attributes['Response'].blank? }
  ...
end

class ResponseItem < ActiveRecord::base
  ...
  belongs_to :item
  ...
end

The only real clue so far, is the names of the fields on the edit form
are different whether it's a pre-filled response, or a blank one.

This is for a response that has an item in the database:


  

This is for a blank response item, with no object in the database:


  

My hunch is that mixing a form with some items that have an ID, and some
that are blank for an ID, is potentially causing trouble in the
normalize_params function?

One possible solution could be that for blank responses, I create a
temporary database item, so that they have an ID field filled out.  When
I try to edit an item with all 12 responses, it does work because
there's an ID field for each response.

Clear as mud?  :)  Tough to explain this in a forum.  If anyone has any
thoughts, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Kevin

I'd suggest TextMate if you had a Mac, but then I guess you wouldn't
be asking :)
So I suppose you are on Windows or Linux. In which case I recommend
vim :).

This is what I'm using and I do have a Mac (actually 3 of them :)

I used TextMate for a couple of years but eventually got drown back to
vim.
I just can't give up the power it has.

My .vimrc setup with a lot of rails related goodies can be found at

[Rails] Re: Finding the next item, in a group of items.

[Joe]

Ok, So it seems that this whole tutorial ordering thing seems to be
the best way to go (thanks to philip anyway for giving me the code to
do it with ids if I wanted to);
The problem is I'm really a complete noob in RoR. I know how to create
migrations, however creating a "position" variable i which they were
independent to the category the tutorials were in; I have absolutely
no idea how to do that. And you talk about writing methods, I also do
not know where these methods would be created (inside a controller
perhaps?).

Any help with this task would be kindly appriciated,

Thanks In Advance,

Joe

I usually store locale in the table for the content without splitting
out to a languages (or locales) table and storing a locale_id.  Rails
only stores i18n.locale as a symbol.  I haven't had a need for tighter
constraints on the data for locale than that.

Yep, that's in the works.  In the meantime, check out
http://github.com/kete/mongo_translatable/tree/master/test/full_2_3_5_app_with_tests
which is a full (but simple) Rail 2.3.5 app for testing purposes.  You
can dig around there, including the tests, to see the basics about how
to mongo_translatable works.  I'll get to the README before too long.

Walter

Re: [Rails] Re: Finding the next item, in a group of items.

[Philip Hallstrom]

The tutorials are then displayed in order of there id (auto-
incrementing) in their categories show method.
The thing is, I want to create a link that goes from one tutorial
(with an id of 10 for example) to the next tutorial in that category
(which might not have an id of 11, as I create different tutorials at
different times, therefore creating different ids for two tutorials
seemingly next to eachother in order).

Obviously I know I will need something like this:
<%= link_to 'Next lesson',   %>

but I just don't know how I can manage it..

By the way, every tutorial has a: category_id  to determain which
category they are in (this is an integer).



If I were you, i'd create a position column on tutorials, which
determines the ordering of tutorials for a category (ordering by id
might seem the simplest but stops you from ever reordering tutorials.
Given a tutorial, the next one is the first one in the same category
whose position is greater than the current ones (you could write a
next_tutorial method on tutorial). There's a plugin called
acts_as_list that you might find helpful maintaining the position
column. If you're hell bent on ordering by id then it's as if id is
your position column

Fred


I agree with Fred as it allows you to easily re-order the tutorials if  
you want to, but if you don't... then...


next_tutorial = Tutorial.find(:conditions => ["id > ? AND category_id  
= ?", current_tutorial_id, current_category_id], :order =>  
'id', :limit => 1)


prev_tutorial = Tutorial.find(:conditions => ["id < ? AND category_id  
= ?", current_tutorial_id, current_category_id], :order => 'id  
DESC', :limit => 1)

If I were you, i'd create a position column on tutorials, which
determines the ordering of tutorials for a category (ordering by id
might seem the simplest but stops you from ever reordering tutorials.
Given a tutorial, the next one is the first one in the same category
whose position is greater than the current ones (you could write a
next_tutorial method on tutorial). There's a plugin called
acts_as_list that you might find helpful maintaining the position
column. If you're hell bent on ordering by id then it's as if id is
your position column

[Rails] Re: DB structure of a translation Web service

[oren]

Thanks Walter.
Kete looks like an awesome project.

It looks like the simplest solution for me would be to add language_id
field to my content table and maybe later on
I'll refactor it to other solution. mongo db sounds awesome, but I am
not sure where to start - the github page doesn't explain about
installing/using it.

I'm using declarative_authorization and I like it a lot.
Also, +1 to authlogic instead of restful_authentication.

I had the same candidates recently and decided to use CanCan. I think 
that they are very similar in spirit, declarative_authorization is far 
more elaborate and consequently more complex. CanCan is much simpler. As 
I don't need more than CanCan provides, I went with it.

If you need model-based security over and above resource/controller-
based checks, than declarative_authorization is the way to go.

Have you had a look at authlogic for comparison?

[Rails] Rails Authorization plugins

[jmamma]

We are evaluating authorization plugins for rails and I wanted to
address the group for some feedback.

The two we are looking at are: cancan by Ryan Bates  and
declarative_authorization.

If anyone has used either of these and can give me some feedback on
how they have worked out for you that would be great!  We would be
using one of these in conjunction with the restul_auth plugin btw.

One monkey wrench our project throws in to the mix is that we have a
multiple database
per customer model so I'm aware we'll need to make some changes to the
plugin in order
to make it fit.  So if you have customized either of the plugins I
would like how easy / difficult that was.

[Rails] Finding the next item, in a group of items.

[Joe]

Hi,

Basically I currently have this system where there are categories, and
tutorials; obviously categories have many tutorials, and every
tutorial must belong_to a category.

The tutorials are then displayed in order of there id (auto-
incrementing) in their categories show method.
The thing is, I want to create a link that goes from one tutorial
(with an id of 10 for example) to the next tutorial in that category
(which might not have an id of 11, as I create different tutorials at
different times, therefore creating different ids for two tutorials
seemingly next to eachother in order).

Obviously I know I will need something like this:
<%= link_to 'Next lesson',   %>

but I just don't know how I can manage it..

By the way, every tutorial has a: category_id  to determain which
category they are in (this is an integer).


Please Help,

Thanks In Advance,

Joe

I'm not sure I understand what you mean 'used link_to_remote...'.  I'm
imagining that you've coded the menu items themselves with the link.  If so,
that's an interesting approach, but one that I've never tried.  I'm guessing
it might be why your menu is misbehaving.  I use observe_field on the
select, passing the selected value to render the new content.  You might try
that to see if yields better results.

Best regards,
Bill

[Rails] Problems with _path and _url helpers using namespaced controller

[re5et]

I am using a namespaced controller as described here
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#controller-namespaces-and-routing

When using:

map.with_options(:namespace => "admin")  do |admin|
admin.resources :photos, :videos end

and then attempting to use the path/url helper new_photo_path it links
to photos/new instead of admin/photos/new as expected.

How can I acheive the expected behavior?
