Thanks, Fred!

1 question back - if you say...

> ...and your instances can handle 10
> requests/s then...

...is the "10 requests/s" per instance the average capacity of a Ruby 
instance? If not, do such figures exist or make any sense? Or would I 
have to calculate my own instance capacity, simply based on what my 
server's hardware actually swallows during usage?

[Rails] What is the number of Ruby instances needed on a server?

2011-01-31 Thread Tom Ha
Hi there,

what does the number of Ruby instances a server keeps running really
depend on?

Can I model/calculate that somehow as a function of the number of users
on the website or do I just have to wait and see how the situation
evolves?

I really do hope it's not 1 ruby instance per user that's necessary,
because the instances I saw on my server were all using between 120MB
and 140MB of memory, which seems huge to me (I'm a novice to all that,
though).

Thank you very much for any explanations!
Tom

2010-12-15 Thread Tom Ha
> It may work for the default "keys" (for "validates_presence_of :name"

To sum it up: The solution is NOT to include any *custom* message keys 
in the models, like...

:message => 
I18n.t('activerecord.errors.models.my_model.attributes.whatever.please_select_whatever')

The model will then apply the default message keys, for example 
":inclusion" in the case of "validates_inclusion_of"

...and in config/locales/en.yml you need to have:

en:
  activerecord:
errors:
  models:
my_model:
  attributes:
whatever:
  inclusion: "Please select whatever." # see key: 
"inclusion"

Nope, this doesn't work. I suspect it's still the same problem: it seems 
not possible to have translations in models (since they only get loaded 
once).

It may work for the default "keys" (for "validates_presence_of :name" 
the key would be "blank"), but not the custom ones.

[Rails] I18n in model validations: Possible or not?

2010-12-15 Thread Tom Ha
Hi there,

I have the following validation in a model:

  validates_inclusion_of :whatever, :in => [true, false], :message =>
I18n.t('please_select_whatever')

It seems that the translation does not work in production mode: in all
languages it's always the english translation that gets diplayed
(probably because I set english as the default locale in my app...?).

So I am assuming that we can't translate validations in models, because
models get loaded only once - when the server is booted (and then, the
default locale would be applied).

Am I right? If yes, how would you solve this problem?

Thanks for your help!

[Rails] How to use a partial in multipart/alternative emails (HTML and plain text)

2010-12-06 Thread Tom Ha
Hi there,

I use a partial in various multipart emails (HTML and plain text) in
Rails and have the following problem with it:

- All email "views" exist normally: both in .text.plain.erb and
.text.html.erb versions

- The partial (which is located in the "shared" views folder), also
exists in both versions using the required endings (as mentioned above).

The problem: In the "plain text" version of the received emails, it is
the HTML partial that is rendered, not the "plain text" one. (Everything
else is rendered correctly in both versions.)

What am I probably doing wrong?

Thanks a bunch for any help with this!

[Rails] MySQL - How to “SUM” in a :has_many case

2010-07-07 Thread Tom Ha
Hi there,

I have the following tables...

  User :has_many Purchases
  Item :has_many Purchases


...where Item has a column "amount" (can be + or -) and I need to find
all Users that have a positive SUM of "amounts" (over all Purchases each
one has made).

How does this query look like? (I'm not sure how to handle "SUM"
correctly, in this case.)

I started out with the following, but obviously, it's wrong... (it
wouldn't "include" Purchases that have an Item with a negative
"amount"...)

  @users = User.find(:all,
 :include => {:purchases => :item},
 :select => "SUM(item.amount)",
 :order => "...",
 :conditions => "...",
 :group => "users.id",
 :having => "SUM(item.amount) > 0" )

Thanks for your help with this!

[Rails] Re: Helper in Initializer: Is it possible ?

2010-07-06 Thread Tom Ha
> What are you trying to achieve?

Basically, I put some Rufus scheduler code in the Initializer folder so 
the scheduler runs fine, even when the hoster needs to reboot the 
machine for whatever reason and without my knowledge.

The Rufus scheduler includes some .pdf-generating code (amongst other 
features). The .pdf must display numbers in a special format. And until 
now, I used helper code to get the numbers into this format, so it would 
have been convenient to use the same helper within this Rufus scheduler 
initializer..

[Rails] Re: Time-dependent values/constants in Models: An issue or not?

2010-06-28 Thread Tom Ha
Thanks a lot for your explanation (I believe a lot of folks are not 
necessarily aware of this "detail"...).

One question back, though:

Is the issue rather...

a) with Rails' "Time.now" VS MySQL's "UTC_TIMESTAMP()" (where the former 
would *never* return the "true now" when used *anywhere within a Class* 
and the latter would always be returned as the "true now"), or is the 
issue...

b) with the *context* of the "time constant" (equally in both cases), 
where the constant would always return the "true now" if it is used:
- *within a method* of a Class, or
- within a named_scope, together with a lambda,
- but NOT *outside of a method* within a Class?


You also say:
> The reason the above fails is that Time.now is evaluated *once* when the 
> class is loaded.

-> Are a Class' methods not also evaluated only *once*?

[Rails] Time-dependent values/constants in Models: An issue or not?

2010-06-26 Thread Tom Ha
Hi there,

I remember reading in the comments of a Rails blog something along these
lines:

"Since a Model is loaded only once in production development (at server
start), certain time-dependent 'constants' that you have placed in a
method of a Model will always return the same value for those
'constants', i.e. the value the 'constant' had at server start."

Hypothetic example for the MySQL 'constant' "UTC_TIMESTAMP()" in a Model
'User':

  =
  def books_created_right_now
self.books.find(:all, :conditions => "books.updated_at =
UTC_TIMESTAMP()")
  end
  =

Is the above statement utter BS or is there actually some issue similar
to the example or statement?

Thanks a lot!

[Rails] Scheduled tasks in Rails: Cron + wget = Best solution?

2010-06-03 Thread Tom Ha
Hi there,

do you agree that for having scheduled tasks in Rails, the leanest
solution is the following?

- Create a controller with an action for each task
- Implement the logic of the task as controller code
- Set up a cron job at the OS level that uses wget to invoke the URL of
this controller/action at the appropriate time intervals

Advantages:
1) full access to all your Rails objects just as in a normal controller
2) you can develop and test just as you do normal actions
3) you can also invoke your tasks adhoc from a simple web page
4) You don't consume any more memory by firing up additional ruby/rails
processes

My additional question is: How would the cron job entry have to look
like in order to let cron "log in" (as admin for example) before calling
the action (for obvious security reasons)? This is what I have until
now:

20 * * * *  /usr/bin/wget --quiet -O -
'http://www.mydomain.com/my_controller/my_action'


Thank you for opinion and/or hints!

[Rails] :joins VS :include => different results?

2010-06-02 Thread Tom Ha
Hi there,

assume that:

1 we have the following situation:

  Book :has_many Pages :has_many Illustrations
     =   =

2 certain pages have NO illustrations

3 the following 2 cases:

  A) Book.find(:all,
   :joins => [:pages => [:illustrations]])

  B) Book.find(:all,
   :include => [:pages => [:illustrations]])

Question: Is it correct that:
- in case A), the books containing pages WITHOUT any illustrations will
NOT show up in the results
- whereas in case B), these books WILL show up?

(Personally, I thought that the main difference between :joins and
:include was the "eager loading" part.)

Thanks for any explanation for this!

It's just that based on the API, I couldn't figure out if/where/how to 
place the "count" part in the find statement...

2010-06-01 Thread Tom Ha
Yep, I would have liked to be able to use Rails without needing to dig 
deeper into SQL - at least as long as I'm not a professional coder...

Anyways, from what I understand, the answer to my question is:

With Rails, I need to use the :select parameter to have the "count part" 
(as described above), like so (and in combination with the :having 
parameter):

  :select => "people.*, count(people.id)"
  :having => "count(people.id) > 1"

Thanks for your participation and patience!

[Rails] Re: Re: Model.find statements: SQL condition format -> How?

2010-06-01 Thread Tom Ha
Thanks for getting back!

Well, to put it bluntly:

I cannot figure out what parameter(s) (like :limit, :group, etc.) of the 
find method I have to use to create the count "condition" in the find 
statement.

By "count condition" I mean the part:

  number-of-authors-must-be-greater-than-5

Assume that we're in a simply Model_A :has_many Model_B case like...

  Book :has_many Authors

...and that I'd like to avoid the find_by_sql method (raw SQL), if 
possible.

Yep, it's really the "number of authors" part that I have not understood

If I try as you say (using authors.count > 5 in the "conditions") an 
error message tells me that there is no column called "count"...

Thanks - and no worries re the model, it's just an example...

Actually, I asked this question since I'd like to stick as much as 
possible to the "Rails way" of doing things (and therefor I'd like to 
try to avoid things like "original" SQL statements).

So, any idea how the part...

   :conditions => "books.published = TRUE AND
   number-of-authors-must-be-greater-than-5"

...would have to be? (In the Rails kind of way?)

(I tried using the API, but don't seem to get it.)

Hi there,

What's the correct end part of "conditions" if:

- you assume that "Book :has_many Authors"
- I'd like to have the find statement in the below format

@books = Book.find(:all,
  :joins => [:authors => [...]],
:include => :whatever_stuff,
  :conditions => "books.published = TRUE AND
  number-of-authors-must-be-greater-than-5")

[Rails] Smooth scrolling with RJS -> error

2010-05-12 Thread Tom Ha
Hi there,

can anybody tell me what's wrong with this controller part...?

  render :update do |page|
page.call "jQuery('html,body').animate({
  scrollTop:jQuery('#top').offset().top}, 2000)"
  end


The error I get is...

  "RJS error:

  TypeError: jQuery("html,body").animate({
  scrollTop:jQuery("#top").offset().top}, 2000) is not a
function"

The idea is to have the controller "smooth scroll" to the DIV with the
ID 'top' (which would contain the error message).

(Nothing else besides the jQuery core is needed with this code.)

Thanks for any help!

[Rails] Re: How to: Set a datetime params-value to nil in the controller

2010-04-22 Thread Tom Ha
Thanks for your inputs.

Unfortunately, I can add that:

1. Yes, the code definitely GETS executed
2. No, params[:task] is definitely NOT nil
2. Other values of the Task object in params CAN be set to nil, for 
example...

   params[:task][:name] = nil

...works correctly.

Could it be that "...[:enddate]" is not sufficient in...

  params[:task][:enddate]

...because the date gets submitted by a date_select? When I check what 
values get passed to params, I see...

  task[enddate(1i)]  ->  2011
  task[enddate(2i)]  ->  3
  task[enddate(3i)]  ->  1

Could it be that the problem stems from the "(1i), (2i), (3i)" part?

Any ideas?

[Rails] How to: Set a datetime params-value to nil in the controller

Hi there,

Suppose I submit an object called "task" from a form with...

  task[enddate(1i)]  ->  2011
  task[enddate(2i)]  ->  3
  task[enddate(3i)]  ->  1

...how do I set the value 'params[:task][:enddate]' to 'nil' in the
controller?

I tried...

  params[:task][:enddate] = nil

...but that doesn't seem to "empty" the attribute 'enddate'. What am I
getting wrong?

I have my first Rails app running and I regularly get the following

I'm posting because I didn't find the answer using search engines:

How do I get the name of the action and/or controller that have sent the
user to the current page?

(I know one can access the *current* action/controller using
controller.controller_name and controller.action_name, but I need to
retrieve the the *referring* action/controller, meaning "the one
before"...)

Thanks a lot for any help!
Tom

[Rails] How to: Check if Javascript is enabled

2009-11-11 Thread Tom Ha

Hi there,

Rails has fantastic Javascript helpers, which I have immediately used
for my website.

Since some features of my website now rely 100% on Javascript being
enabled in the user's browser, I now need a way to either:
a) block the usage of the site when Javascript is disabled, or
b) display a very visible message that tells the user to enable
Javascript.

Has anybody good ideas for a plugin (or some other solution) to check if
Javascript is enabled and to then let the user know?

(I know, a good programmer would let the site work without JS as well,
but currently, I'm not there yet...)

Thanks a bunch for any help with this!
Tom

[Rails] How to: redirect_to through a folder hierarchy (upwards)

2009-09-19 Thread Tom Ha

Hi there,

how do I tell the current controller correctly to redirect_to an action
of another controller that is 1 level higher in the folder hierarchy
than the current controller?

How I have tried: Within the current controller (called 'incidents'), I
have put:

  redirect_to :controller => 'members', :action => 'show', :id =>
@user.id

(Where 'members' is 1 level higher. And this doesn't work.)

Thank you for any help with this!

[Rails] How to: Reduce nbr of processes (Ruby, Apache, BackgroundRB)

2009-08-31 Thread Tom Ha

Hi there,

I'm currently trying to cut back on memory usage on my production
server.

I have noticed that I have 2 ruby processes running on my server: "ruby"
and "ruby1.8". Is this normal? If not, how do I get rid of the 2nd one?

For Apache, I have 6 processes running - what is that good for? How can
I reduce them or should I not?

Thridly, I have 3 "packet_worker_runner" (from backgroundRB) processes
running. Is it possible and OK to have only 1? If yes, how?

Thanks a lot for any hints!

[Rails] How to: Handle javascript_include_tag in production mode

2009-08-14 Thread Tom Ha

Hi there,

I have the following javascript_include_tags in my application.html.erb
file:

<%= javascript_include_tag 'jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min', :cache => 'jquery'
%>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'jrails' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'jquery/jquery.autocomplete.min', :cache =>
'jquery' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'mootools/mootools-1.2.1-core-yc', :cache =>
'mootools' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'mootools/mootools-1.2-more', :cache =>
'mootools' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'mootools/formcheck/formcheck', :cache =>
'mootools' %>

My question:

How come, when I run the *production* environment on the (virtual
private) server, the javascript files don't seem to load?
("XYZ-is-not-a-fuction" errors)

Hints:

- When I delete the :cache options, the scripts DO load correctly.
- When I'm in *development* mode, the whole problem doesn't occur at all
(I can have the :cache options).

Thank you for your input!

[Rails] Different gem locations: reasons?

2009-08-11 Thread Tom Ha

Hi there,

as far as I know, gems can be stored in 2 folders:

1. /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems
2. app/vendor/gems

When I install a gem, it automatically goes into the 1st folder.

My questions are:
- What are the reasons one should store the gems in the 2nd folder
(app/...)?
- Does it have anything to do with deployment/"portability"? If yes,
how?
- How should gems be put in there? Any special command or is copy/paste
OK?
- Do apps automatically find the correct location of the gems? Any
config to do?
- How are gems in app/vendor/gems updated? Using the normal gem update
command?

Background info:
- I'm pretty much a n00b
- I plan to deploy my app to slicehost.com (unless you guys know better
solutions)
- At slicehost, I will have access to the entire OS (Ubuntu)

Thanks for any help with this!

Suppose: 'action A' was launched by an Ajax request

Question: Is it possible to

or
- redirect (within 'action A') to an 'action B' (which then could render
a whole HTML page)

is it correct that one should always use both...

  1.
sanitize(params[:whatever_external_or_user_input_to_save_to_database]),
AND
  2. h(@whatever_database_record_to_display_on_page)

...in order to have the highest security level? (Besides all the other
security stuff to do, of course)

[Rails] How to pass a variable from a model method to a controller

2009-04-25 Thread Tom Ha

Hi there,

how can I pass a variable from a model method to the controller that
calls this method?

In the below code, I tried by placing "return @errormessage" in the
model method and then trying to retrieve it in the controller, but it's
wrong. What's the correct way to do that?

Here's what it looks like until now (simplified)...

In my controller:
=

  def whatever
if @user.does_my_check_pass?   # <= calls the model method
below...
  [...]
else
  flash.now[:error] = @errormessage# <= the variable from the
method
  render :update do |page|
page.replace_html 'flash_messages', flash_messages
  end
end
  end


In my model:


  def does_my_check_pass?
if [...some conditions...]
  return true
else
  return @errormessage = "There was an error." # <= the variable
  return false
end
  end

Thanks a lot for your help!

@ Sijo:
The problem was resolved by adding "include PhonenumberHelper" in the

@ bushfreakz:
Any helpers in app/helpers are only available to views, by default. If 
you have "helper :all" in ApplicationController, all helpers in

[Rails] Re: redirect_to results in "syntax error" for

2009-04-20 Thread Tom Ha

Thanks for your (actually super-quick) reply, Fred!

To paraphrase it (correct me if I'm wrong):

Whenever an Ajax request is sent (i.e. using submit_to_remote) the 
"rendering part" in the controller can NOT use "redirect_to :action => 
..." or "render :action => ...".

Rendering the response can in this case only be done using:

render :update do |page|
  page.replace_html 'whatever', :partial => 'whatever'
end

"redirect_to" and "render" can only be used after "regular" requests.

[Rails] redirect_to results in "syntax error" for

2009-04-19 Thread Tom Ha

Hi there,

I have a strange error:

In a controller, I have a...

   redirect_to :action => 'show'

...at the end. But upon code execution, Firebug tells me:

  syntax error
  http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>

(It says that for Line 0)

Does anyone have a clue what this means and where the problem lies?

Just in case:
- I have also tried to use the "loose" version in the HTML code:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd";>
But it didn't change anything.
- redirect_to a different :action works.

Thank you for any help with this!
Tom

[Rails] Injecting Ruby code into a javascript file?

2009-04-15 Thread Tom Ha

Hi,

as far as I know it's possible to inject Ruby code into javascript code
if the javascript code is included in a view/page.

But is this also possible when the javascript code is in a separate .js
file that is located in the folder "public/javascripts"?

Thanks for your help!
Tom

[Rails] Can Rails I18n translate plugins ?

2009-04-15 Thread Tom Ha

Hi there,

can anyone tell me if it is possible for Rails' (2.3.2) I18n component
to translate files *outside* of the 'app' folder (i.e. plugins in the
'vendor' folder)?

Would it need any kind of "hack" or would files be translated following
simply the standard procedure?

Thanks!
Tom

Whant does it stand for, what does it mean, what does it do?

Thanks!

[Rails] Re: Does ARMailer work in Rails 2.3 ?!

2009-04-01 Thread Tom Ha

Here's the solution for those of you who will encounter the same issue 
("the class reloading issue"):

Drop the file attached (ar_mailer_patch.rb) into you initializers 
folder.

The file uses the explicit Email class name instead of the class 
variable, to create the email record.

Kudos to Adam Meehan (adzap-ar_mailer) for providing the solution!
