[Rails] Scriptaculous effect not working..
Hey so here is my code:
<% if @error == true %>
<%= javascript_tag "New Effect.Shake('form_holder'); return false;" %>
<% end %>
I know that the scriptaculous library is being included in the head of
my view, but for some reason the effect never works. Im using the effect
to notify the user that their login was incorrect, hence the @error
variable. That variable is set in my session creating action and upon an
incorrect login the new action is rendered (there is nothing inside this
action). However, when i make an incorrect login and the new action is
rendered, the source code contains the javascript, just nothing happens!
Many thanks,

Re: [Rails] Re: Storing a hash or array in the db
Thank you for your help! I'm still learning how to use MVC, and I'm still having difficulty with some of the concepts. Can I ask a follow-up quesiton on how to set this up? I will have a product that can belong to one or many sub-catagories which in turn belong to one or many catagories. The same subcatagory name can belong to two different catagories (although its referring to a different group of products). For example: Fishingline (catagory) -> Long (subcatagory) and Knives (catagory) -> Long (subcatagory), where the products in both are different. Additional requirements: - in the store, display just products in a subcatagory (under a catagory), or display all products in the catagory (products belonging to all subcatagories). - in the admin portal, be able to set the catagories and subcatagories in the product view So there needs to be a class to represent the catagories. Should there be a class for each subcatagory that has the catagory as a property? Can the products view update the catagory that the product belongs to? For displaying in the store, I currently have a store controller + views that display all of hte items. Can the store controller show the different views based on the catagory? Or should the store controller own the catagory buttons that direct to the catagory views that show the specific subset of products? Do I need view and controller for the catagory class? Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!

Maybe you know what you're doing and really just want to update the model (assuming the non-bang version).

What happens when two people hit the URL that triggers that action at the same time? Change the action to this... def show @poem = Poem.find(params[:id]) sleep(rand(10)) # to simulate something that takes awhile @poem.increment!(:view_count) ... ... end Let's say that view_count is 1 for the given poem. Hit that page with two browsers at the same time and when they both finish view_count will be 2. It should be 3. > The @poem instance would be garbage collected at the end of the > request-response cycle. True, but even quick Rails processes take a little bit of time. As soon as there is *any* time between when you retrieve the record and when it gets incremented, you have a chance for a race condition because the increment (via increment!()) isn't incrementing.

Besides this. According the the Rails docs, increment_counter is typically used for caching aggregate values. That's not the case here since the field to be incremented is not related to an associated model. The increment_counter would make sense for things like caching the count of comments on a post model to prevent the SQL query that would be required to count the associated comments.

Reading your post again, I can see what you mean now. The annoying thing is that if your site doesn't get much traffic increment() will appear to work. It's only when there's concurrent access that it will start to break down. This next part is for the archives... As a general rule, if you are incrementing or decrementing fields that are counters, do not use any Rails method that *set* the value and save it. Make sure the method results in a "UPDATE table SET c = c + 1" type of query. If you write your own implementation, be sure to consider the situation in which your database column is NULL. And if you're doing a lot of this, you might find this useful http://github.com/phallstrom/set_counters as well.

Let's say we have User u with id 123. u.foo = 1.
u.increment(:foo) will execute this: update users set foo = 2 where id = 123
If I have multiple copies of User 123 lying around (different mongrels perhaps)
there is a race condition. The longer I hold onto a copy of User 123 the
better chance I have of losing the true value of foo since increment() will
*overwrite* the value in the database, not add to it.
If however I do this...
User.increment_counter(:foo, 123) that will execute this: update users set foo
= foo + 1 where id = 123
It doesn't matter how many times or where I call it, the *database* will
contain the correct value of foo.
It's very possible that my local copy "u" won't until I reload it however.

No. increment_counter doesn't operate on an instance of the class
>> u = User.find(2)
>> u.login_count

>> User.increment_counter(:login_count, 2)
User Update (3.0ms) UPDATE "users" SET "login_count" =
COALESCE("login_count", 0) + 1 WHERE ("id" = 2)
=> 1
>> u.login_count

[Rails] Rails - Devise - Warden and InvalidAuthenticityToken
Hi
I've just uploaded my new website to my server and, after a couple of
teething problems, seem to be hitting problems when I am using devise
and warden to authenticate users etc.
The following is the error message with sensitive information removed:
Processing RegistrationsController#create (for 81.111.90.194 at
2010-08-19 21:35:43) [POST]
Parameters: {"commit"=>"Sign up", "action"=>"create",
"authenticity_token"=>"XXXREMOVEDXXX",
"controller"=>"registrations", "user"=>{"dob"=>"XXX",
"password_confirmation"=>"[FILTERED]", "firstname"=>"XXX",
"password"=>"[FILTERED]", "surname"=>"XXX", "email"=>"XX"}}
ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken

warden (0.10.7) [v] lib/warden/manager.rb:34:in `call'
Rendering /home/enigmaho/rails_apps/newwt/public/422.html (422
Unprocessable Entity)
I have no real idea what is going wrong. It works OK on my development
server at home, and everything else seems to work barring this.
My environment.rb file has the following lines:
config.gem 'warden'
config.gem 'devise'
And they have been installed in my plugins/gems directory using "rake
gems:unpack"
I'm using Rails 2.3.8 if that's any help.
Any help would be excellent!

[Rails] Re: Re: Postgres, concurrency, and rails
It must be the ancient version of Rails we are using then. The postgresql_adapter requires a gem (whatever version, postgres-pr, ruby-postgres, etc) that calls itself 'postgres', and I imagine pg only responds to 'pg'. Perhaps Rails 3.0 requires either postgres OR pg. It might be possible I could modify the adapter but that is probably asking for trouble. Either way though, ruby-postgres seems to work fine so far. It no longer deadlocks. However, calling allow_concurrency = true on ActiveRecord seems to cause the server to hang. After I commented it out, however, things went fine and there was no deadlock. I do get messages from postgres such as "warning: transaction in progress", which I'm guessing is the result of my threads hitting the same table at the same time (I did this on purpose to test). I'm guessing that allow_concurrency is supposed to prevent this by making ActiveRecord queue up these transactions, but like I said it seems to make the server hang. So the question really is, can postgres handle these overlapping transactions? It seems to do a good job queueing them up so far, but I guess we'll have to see. Again, any insight is appreciated. -- 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: Postgres, concurrency, and rails
After some more epic Googling (literally like 10+ hours of just slogging through crap) I've gotten a little further in my search, for anyone who is having similar problems. It seems that the supposedly 'latest' Postgres adapter, pg, doesn't work with Rails at all, or at least version 1.2.3. You need to use ruby-postgres. You will have some issues with some DLL files because Postgres 8.4 uses a newer version of SSL or some sort. It is all explained here: http://rubyonrailswin.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/getting-postgresql-to-install-on-windows/ If anyone has any more insight into the concurrency thing, I would still love feedback.

Have you looked at Single Table Inheritance, which would allow multiple types of event all in one table (rather than have subevents of different types)? Otherwise I think you could have Event has_one :sub_event_type_one has_one :sub_event_type_two and so on.

[Rails] Re: form_for
This is a method generated for you by rails as a result of the
associtions declared in the Post and Comment models - in this case
belongs_to and has_many. Comments belongs to a post, and a post can
have many comments.
Rails creates quite a number of theses methods in response to the
association, and different associations (has_one,
has_and_belongs_to_many etc.) create different sets of methods - more
details in the API docs:
http://edgeapi.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ClassMethods.html
collection.build is one of these methods, and the API docs explain it
pretty well:
"collection.build(attributes = {}, …)Returns one or more new
objects of the collection type that have been instantiated with
attributes and linked to this object through a foreign key, but have
not yet been saved."
"collection" in this case is @post.comments
(None of of which has anything to do with namespaced resources...)

[Rails] Adding new variables to a model
Hello --
Thanks in advance for putting up with a newbie question:)
I added two columns to my Products model. The db migration completed without
error, I added the items to the views, and I tested the expected behavior on
the site itself. The properties can be set, stored, and is displayed later.
I also put some validation in the model, and the errors display perfectly.
So everything is working just as I would expect.
Where I ran into trouble is when I ran the unit tests I have for the
products model. I'm getting errors that say the properties are an "undefined
method". Even for test cases that don't refer to these properties, they are
returning the same error. I assume this is from referencing the model. Why
does everything work correctly on the site, but the test cases don't seem to
recognize the new properties I've added to the model?
Thanks!
Madison

(note: two new columns are has_case and case_quantity)

Is there a better way > to implement that on a shared hosting server? I think at the very least, you'll need to use a Xen-based VPS where you get root access, such as a Rackspace Cloud server. I'd look at messaging/queuing options, such as Jabber/XMPP or AMQP implementations. That'd work for both managing a turn-based combat as well as chat. You'd write it like the old MUDs. If you're willing to sacrifice HTML4 support, you can try the Websocket stuff in HTML5 and require all players to install browsers that support it (such as Chrome and Safari). I wouldn't try using a browser-refresh scheme written using Rails; a background process at the very least or a separate server using http://www.mikeperham.com/2010/04/03/introducing-phat-an-asynchronous-rails-app/ , or even using Node.js for the server-side. The Rails side would work well if you take advantage of REST to describe resources (such as, descriptions of game objects and user avatars), but not specifically to manage the combat (ephemeral, state-ful, evented system vs. the shared-nothing, stateless system that Rails and the Web is based on). So I think Redis works better than a SQL db for handling the combat states itself. The downside is that this starts getting pretty intricate. The beauty of the auto-combat system in current web-browser games is that they give the *llusion* of control, which is enough for most players (see http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/07/creating-the-illusion-of-accomplishment/). If you implement AIs as part of the gameplay, I suggest looking at making its perceived user control of the new system match the perceived user control of the old system. Good luck.

So I created the postgres account blog and gave that account the
ability to create databases and users. Now that same command
""rake db:create"" yields these messages:
undefined method `quote_ident' for PGconn:Class
...
Couldn't create database for {"encoding"=>"unicode",
"username"=>"blog",
"adapter"=>"postgresql", "database"=>"blog_development",
"pool"=>5, "password"=>"yyy"}
So what is the issue here? Should I have created the three
user accounts before hand?
Could I just create the "blog" database before hand at the
postgres prompt? If so, are there any tables that the
"rails blog -d postgresql" creates?
Thank you for your help.
P.S. my config/database.yml looks like this:
development:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: blog_development
pool: 5
username: blog
password: yyy
test:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: blog_test
pool: 5
username: blog
password: yyy
production:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: blog_production
pool: 5
username: blog
password: yyy

[Rails] Postgres, concurrency, and rails
I work on a fairly large website that uses Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 1.2.3. We cannot upgrade as it will hopelessly break our code. We are working on a new version in Java but for the next year at least we are stuck with the legacy system. We use the latest version of Postgresql for the database using the postgres-pr gem. I am attempting to implement cron tasks within the system using Rufus Scheduler, which is sort of a lighter-weight version of BackgrounDRb. I found very quickly that if I have 2 tasks (threads) running and they both attempt to use ActiveRecord, they deadlock. Supposedly ActiveRecord has a means of enabling concurrency, however the postgres-pr adapter does not support this. I've been trying without luck to install one of the alternative postgres adapters that supposedly support concurrency. The 'pg' one appears to be the latest and official gem, and it installs fine. However, when I attempt to access a page, I get: "no such file to load -- postgres". I have scoured Google for this error string, but the results have not been helpful. So my first question is: what's the deal with this? Also: How do you guys use threads in your Rails apps? By the way, I am developing on a Windows box, though our production systems are FreeBSD. Thanks If you want to continue reading, I have more random notes: I did attempt to install some of the deprecated gems, with no success. The old postgres gem and ruby-pg fail when trying to build native extensions, even when I point them to the postgres install dir (I probably don't have the necessary dev tools on my workstation). Ruby-postgres (the older version of pg) installs find but doesn't play nicely with the latest version of postgresql, throwing operating system errors. Really all of this should matter though as the pg gem is the one I should be using. Is there a way to get concurrency working with postgres-pr, or does using that adapter mean you just can't use threads? Seems pretty piss poor, but typical I guess. Even if I do get the adapter working, do I have to worry about deadlock in other parts of Rails besides ActiveRecord? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Earlier this year, I started going for HTML 5. I don't know why, but I have to specify the first @post from the json content I'm parsing even though my query only returns one result.

You can certainly subclass a model. Then the subclass could have a :has_one relationship to another model with the extra columns which the superclass doesn't have. If you want to make it transparent, you can delegate the calls for the extra tables in the associated model, so instead of: foo.bar.extra_value you can call: foo.extra_value -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If the key is the translatable string, how do you handle the case
where in english (or whatever your source language is) two things
have the same text but they don't in one of the languages you're

[Rails] Re: no route matches ..... for form_remote_tag
Thanks Greg. I've added the following to my routes.rb:
map.add_groups '/users/add_groups/:id', :controller => 'users', :action
=> 'add_groups'
And changed url in form_remote_tag to:
<% form_remote_tag :update => 'divgrouptable', :url =>
add_groups_path(@user) do %>
...
and got it to work.
However, I cannot say I understand why I'd have to do this. I don't
really want to map the add_groups method to any url. In my original
example I was specifying the method name and the controller name in the
url:
<% form_remote_tag :url => { :controller => :users, :action =>
:add_groups } do %>
which should tell rails everything it needs to know to invoke the right
method in the right controller, routing should not have anything to do
with that. I understand that it obviously does but I don't understand
why.

I think you've tried to DRY up your helpers past the point of
sensibility, and wound up with something so generic that it doesn't make
sense.
Also: @post.first ? @post is an array of multiple posts? If so, then
its name should be @posts.

That looks OK -- if you need a helper for this. I'm not sure why you
would.
Note also that the /> is only valid if you're using XHTML (which you
shouldn't be) or HTML 5. If you're using HTML 4, get rid of the slash

[Rails] Help with Web Game
Hello. I worked with Ruby on Rails professionally for a little under a year, but then got a new job and have been a flash developer for the last 2.5 years. So I'm extremely rusty with Rails. [b]What I'm doing:[/b] I want to make a small browser text based RPG with the option to use flash. (So people can play at work). [b]The Focus:[/b] Ideally I'd like people to be able to control their actions in the fight instead of just reading through the log of their auto attacks after. I'm thinking you can have 8 slots to remember spells/abilities to be able to use while in combat. Kind of like old school EverQuest. [b]The Problem:[/b] I want to include PVP as an option. So if you're in a zone and you see in your /who list another player from the opposed faction, you can choose to attack them. But how do I implement this so they can join in turn based combat? I was looking at Smartfox Server lite, but this is just a project for friends and friends of friends. I'm with HostGator and I really don't think I can install something like Smartfox on the shared hosting server. Also for Chat, I was thinking of just having a database that stored the last 30 or so entries and updated them on refresh. Is there a better way to implement that on a shared hosting server? Any ideas or theories would be really appreciated. If I can't find a solution I may have to change up how combat works so that you just manage the AI of your character and when to use their spells.

Bla ... wrote:

Can you paste the content that it renders? Also, does anything scroll by
in your server window when you try this?
Additionally, wanted to mention that error_messages_for was removed from
Rails 3, though available as a plugin. So maybe consider just going with
a custom solution now. Here is an snippet that I've used, though note it
is in HAML, not ERB.
# views/shared/_error_messages.html.haml
- if target.errors.any?
#errorExplanation
%h2= "#{pluralize(target.errors.count, 'error')} prohibited this
record from being saved:"
%ul
- target.errors.full_messages.each do |message|
%li= message
Then used with
# views/thingy/_form.html.haml
#errors= render 'shared/error_messages', :target => @company
You get a bit more control over what is going on here and are protected
against the imminent removal of the helper.

Rails I18N seems needlessly complex to me, and uses symbolic keys
("application.welcome") so that your view files are not easily readable.
It also stores the translated strings in YAML files. I don't think it
handles pluralization as well as gettext, though I could be wrong.
By contrast, fast_gettext (which works with the Rails I18N
infrastructure) works like GNU Gettext: it uses the translatable strings
themselves as keys ("Welcome to my site!"), so that your view files are
still readable and all hell doesn't break loose if you miss a key. It
stores the translated strings in industry-standard PO files, which
professional translators can be assumed to know how to deal with.

Gettext is easier to work with.

I don't know. I was using gettext before Rails I18N existed, so when
Rails I18N came out, I looked at the default I18N mechanism, concluded
it was clumsier than gettext, and went on using gettext (but this time
as a Rails I18N plugin).
Gettext is so simple, however, that I can't imagine that t would be
difficult to learn. What *might* be time-consuming is switching your
views to use gettext-style string keys.
But really, do your own research. Install gettext and try converting a
view or two. See http://github.com/marnen/quorum2 if you want to see
what views done with gettext look like.

[Rails] How to reduce number of queries
Hi ,
presently i have one problem,
Ex:
i have 6 services
SERVICES = {
:project_title => 'Tilte',
:project_description => 'Description',
:created_at => 'Created At',
}
In these way i have 8 services
For each service i would like to give 4 permissions
1)create 2)read 3)write 4) update
all services are having same permissions
But know when i am writing the code
Site::SERVICES.keys.each do |service_key|
@site= User.new(:service_name =>
Userr::SERVICES[service_key.to_sym],:user_id => partner_id, :user_type
=> "Partner")
@site.read_access = true
@site.create_access = true
@site.update_access = true
end
It is raising 8 Queiries for 8 Services and if services number increases
then Number of queries are also increases
So It is not good
I want to find the solution with a single Query !!!
Is it Possible??

[Rails] need some opinions
I have some helper code that I let get out of hand. I have a number of
show actions that are routed by 'controller/:permalink' and three show
actions that are not. The blog controller's show action gets its page
title, meta description, and meta keywords by parsing some json
content from another site over which I have limited control. The
messages and site_images models have no permalink column. This is what
I've written to get all this to work right, but it looks really ugly
(and potentially brittle) to me. I'm open to suggestions on how to DRY
this up and make it solid. (I'm sticking with 2.3.8 for a while before
I tackle 3, so if you could limit your suggestions to Rails 2)
def page
if controller_name == 'blog' and action_name == 'show'
page = StaticPage.find(:first, :conditions => { :url =>
'rescue' })
elsif controller_name == 'messages' and action_name == 'show'
page = StaticPage.find(:first, :conditions => { :url =>
'rescue' })
elsif controller_name == 'site_images' and action_name == 'show'
page = StaticPage.find(:first, :conditions => { :url =>
'rescue' })
elsif action_name == 'show'
page = @model_name.find_by_permalink(params[:permalink])
else
page = StaticPage.find(:first, :conditions => { :url =>
"#{controller_name}/#{action_name}" }) ||
StaticPage.find(:first, :conditions => { :url => 'rescue' })
end
end
def page_title
if controller_name == 'blog' and action_name == 'show'
title = @post.first['title']
else
title = page.title || 'domain.com'
end
%(#{title})
end
def meta(name, content)
%( )
end
def meta_description
if controller_name == 'blog' and action_name == 'show'
parse_meta_description(@post.first['content'])
else
page.meta_description
end
end
def meta_keywords
if controller_name == 'blog' and action_name == 'show'
parse_meta_keywords(@post.first['content'])
else
page.meta_keywords
end
end
Thanks in advance

[Rails] Developer wanted for Rails-Mongo Knowledge Exchange improvements
We are searching for a developer to fork a Rails-based open source Knowledge Exchange (see shapado.com) and add some innovative features and extensions to this excellent codebase. The work will first involve installing and maintaining the codebase and some customizations to presentation layer. If the KE fork works well ( it's stable code, so it should be fine) , the project will lead to substantial custom coding, biz app integration work and single sign-on, web services, etc. with possible contributions back to the Shapado community. Note that this is not a MySQL database data layer , so some knowledge or interest in NOSQL would be helpful.
