[Rails] Newbie Model Question

2009-04-15 Thread Nicktabs

I'm building a shop in rails as a learning excercise. I've got to the
last part when I'm sending out e-mail order confirmations. The e-mails
contain a list of each line item the customer ordered, I also want to
display the catgory name the customer ordered from.

The database is setup: Category > Product > Line_item.
So I want to navigate back from line_item > product > category so i
can display the category name in the email however im not sure how I
tell it to find the category name from the item.

Be greatful for anyhelp.

[Rails] Simple Routes Question

2008-10-28 Thread Nicktabs

I currently have list of different articles (in this case health
articles) at the moment their show URL format is:

http://localhost:3000/conditions/1

but I would like a more descriptive URL than this, so I would like it
to read:

http://localhost:3000/conditions/cancer

This is the title of the article which is currnetly stored in a row in
the database. I'm new to all this so thought i'd ask for some
pointers :)

Thanks.

[Rails] European Date Format (newbie!)

2008-10-21 Thread Nicktabs

Rails 2.0

Hi there,

There are a few topics on here that relate to my problem but none are
helping as i'm new to this and there are lots of confusing posts on
google.

I need to chage the way dates are input and displayed in my app. This
is for a european app so the dates need to work as DD/MM/ not the
America way.

Now I don't mind keeping the datbase in the orginal Date format as I
won't be accessing it directly however I guess I need to wrtite
something in my model to change the way the dates are done?

Anybody able to help?

Many thanks.

Nick
