[Rails] Re: Share code between unit and functional tests?
You can add it to the test_helper.rb file and it will be included in
all your default tests. Alternatively you could simply put it in a
module (in a separate file in RAILS_ROOT/test and then "include" it in
test_helper.rb or the individual test classes as you need.

[Rails] Re: Calling a self controller path on method from view
You can use that technique to do something like this in your helper:
link_to("Link!", { :action => "blah", :controller =>
controller.controller_name })
You don't have to use named routes all the time. There are definitely
times where the path hash is advantageous.

[Rails] Re: Architectual question: Engine with all common models
One issue with splitting the application into 3 will be consistency of deployment. If the models in the engine change you need to at a minimum run all the tests in all 3 systems, and possibly make updates, then find the time to deploy all 3. I know these situations are solvable, but I don't think it's worth introducing them if you strive to keep all your interfaces (web, import, export) well separated. You could add something like app/importers and app/exporters and treat them like "controllers" for the alternate interfaces. Also, the use of modules and namespaces can be useful for situations likes this.

[Rails] Re: Sub controllers?
You can use some inheritance and before_filters to handle this. class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base def load_panel_data @data = Data.all end end class OtherController < ActionController::Base before_filter :load_panel_data ... your normal actions ... end In your layout you can now render a partial that is expecting the @data variable. before_filters are inheritable and configurable. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Filters/ClassMethods.html On Apr 1, 7:38 pm, Neil Middleton wrote: > it does partly - although I'm thinking more generically.

[Rails] Re: Simple search form with restful routes?
ticket_path is expecting you to pass the ID of the ticket you are
looking for. Something like this:
ticket_path(123)
Run 'rake routes' to get a good idea of what each named route is
doing.
What you need is something like this:
# tickets_controller
def search
show
end
# routes.rb
map.resources :tickets, :collection => { :search => :post }
You can now GET or POST to /tickets/search or tickets_search_path.

[Rails] Re: Joining three objects uniquely using :has_many
I'm not sure I'm 100% clear, but it sounds like you are saying that a Repair may only have one combination of Part/Product, and it just so happens that this combination implies a Level. To me the validation would be: class Repair < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :level belongs_to :product belongs_to :part validates_presence_of :level_id, :product_id, :part_id validates_uniqueness_of :part_id, :scope => [:product_id] end Assuming I understand the problem, I think your confusion stems from the fact that the level isn't part of what defines a Repair, its simply an attribute of the Repair. It is really the Part and the Product that you should be concerned with.

[Rails] Re: How do booleans work?
What Mike is hinting at is the way ActiveRecord abstracts database differences. MySQL and SQLite3 probably use different column types but this will appear transparent to the developer as ActiveRecord handles serializing and de-serializing the column data into Ruby objects. I am not a DBA, and I'm sure it varies from DB vendor to vendor, but I would have to assume that the ActiveRecord Developers chose the most appropriate column format (int(1) vs boolean) for each supported database.

The collection and other options are just a hash being passed as

map.resources :cities, :collection => {:manage => :get} do |cities|
cities.resources :venues, :collection => {:transfer => :any}

map.resources :images, :member => [:500, :1000] will map to 2 methods in your controller, but I think you might have problems giving ruby method names that start with numbers. you probably just have to make a specially entry in your routes file, something like this: map.cached_image '/images/:id/:size', :controller => "images", :action => "show" in your show method just check for the presence of :show in the params and respond appropriately.

[Rails] Re: Does passing the params collection to a model break mvc?
Not necessarily. The params object is just a hash. There is no reason
why you can't or shouldnt pass a configuration hash to a method. I do
something similar quite often. One instance I find myself working with
is XML API's that I must generate. Many options are available on the
query string. To handle this I use a pattern similar to the example
below:
#Controller
@models = Model.collection_for_api(params[:model])
render :xml => @models
#Model
def self.collection_for_api(opts = {})
# assemble a bunch of named scopes based on opts
end

[Rails] Re: Using a model in a library
Sounds like you just need a line like this in the top of the lib file: require 'app/models/aircraft' If its already loaded (ie: running script/server) nothing will change, but if its not already loaded (I don't use RSpec, but it sounds like its not autoloading classes) this should fix it.

[Rails] Re: setting session id for first visit
At work we do something similar, although we dont have issues with the session_id using ActiveRecordStore. One approach you could take would be to create a new object (Visitor), and store the visitor.id in the session. Then use the before filter to load that Visitor on each request. Then, create an Event associated with that visitor for each request (this allows you to have multiple event_types). Then when doing your queries you can do visitor.events to see what each person did. This approach allows us to clean the session table out every few days so it doesnt get to slow. The visitor table only gets written to once for each person and then is read only going forward.

[Rails] Re: Configuring custom library
What I forgot to mention is that if you do: module AccountSystem class << self attr_accessor :account_system_type end end You are actually putting the attr_accessor on the class Module, not on the class that AccountSystem will be included in. You need to use the included method, or use the extend method and refactor your module a bit.

[Rails] Re: Web administration interface for Rails?!
Have you seen: http://activescaffold.com/ ? It's not quite as automatic as Typus, but it seems easier to customize. Guess it depends on your needs.

[Rails] Re: Configuring custom library
if you are checking AccountSystem.account_system_type in your controller what is the point of including it in ApplicationController? If you plan to use it as such, maybe you are better off making it a Singleton Class. If you actually want account_system_type to be a class accessor on ApplicationController you must do something like this: Module AccountSystem SINGLE = 1 MULTIPLE = 2 self.included(klass) klass.send(:cattr_accessor, :account_system_id) end end class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base include AccountSystem # this is how you would use it def random_method self.class.account_system_id == AccountSystem::SINGLE end end That should do what you seem to want, but if your goal was something different let me know and I can try to help. Of note, if you do use the above solution you could do: Module AccountSystem ... def single? self.class.account_system_id == SINGLE end def multiple? self.class.account_system_id == MULTIPLE end ... end class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base include AccountSystem # this is how you would use it def random_method if single? puts "single" elsif multiple? puts "multiple" else raise "please set the AccountSystem.acoun_type_id" end end end On Sep 6, 12:08 pm, javinto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've added a custom library called lib\AccountSystem like so: > > "module AccountSystem > SINGLE = 1 > MULTIPLE = 2 > > class << self > attr_accessor :account_system_type > end > end" > > Now I wanna configure > AccountSystem.account_system_type=AccountSystem::SINGLE in one app. I > used an initializer: config/initializers/account_initialization.rb > where I put this line in. > > I included my AccountSystem in the ApplicationController. > > So now I'd like to check within my controllers the value of > AccountSystem.account_system_type > > But there it is empty! > However if I run "Ruby script\console" and type > AccountSystem.account_system_type I get the value of 1 as I would > expect. > > How can I achieve the same result within my controllers? > > I'm on rails 2.1.0/2.1.1 > > Thanks --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
