[Rails] Saving parent record before child
I am on Rails 2.2 and want to save an artist object with a child attribute called artist_mood_concepts. I can update fine but when I do an @artist.save, it gives me an error about saving the parent before the child (which makes perfect sense). What is the easiest way to solve the problem? after_update?

[Rails] Unknown Action error while updating record
I understand other people have had trouble using :action => 'update'
with form_tag... but I haven't figured it out yet... here is my
declaration of the form:
<% form_tag :action => 'update', :html => {:method => "put"} do %>
I tried just using <% form_tag :action => 'update' % do>, along with
other structures... It just says UNKNOWN ACTION since it is trying to
use the id as the action...
Can anyone help??
I would like to keep it as a form_tag though. Thanks in advance for
the help

[Rails] Re: rails + validations -- place them in application.rb?
One more thing... I think I made the mistake of making the "set of
validations" sound like validate_xxx_of type functions... if I am
needing the following functions to be global (this is some old code,
but just for example) could i just add them to application_helper?
def validate_duplicate_artist(artist)
# Query DB for the given artist
@result = Artist.find(:first, :conditions => [ "name = ?",
artist])
# If no matches, then go ahead and add
if @result.nil?
# calls parser function to clean up the artist to a general
format
artist_parsed = validate_artist_parser(artist)
# pp artist_parsed
Artist.all.each do |artist|
# calls parser function to clean up the artist from db to the
general format
artist_db = validate_artist_parser(artist.name)
if artist_parsed == artist_db
# if the db artist and crawled artist find a match,
then return
the id and status of that artist
return {:id => artist.id, :status => artist.status}
end
end
return {:id => 0, :status => "dup"}
else
return {:id => @result.id, :status => @result.status}
end
end
def validate_artist_parser(artist)
a = artist.downcase
a.gsub!(/ & /, " ")
a.gsub!(/ and /, " ")
a.gsub!(/ an /, " ")
a.gsub!(/ the /, " ")
a.gsub!(/ a /, " ")
a.gsub!(/\./, "")
a.gsub!(/,/, "")
a.gsub!(/'/, "")
a.gsub!(/-/, "")
a.gsub!(/!/, "")
a.gsub!(/’/, "")
a.gsub!(/ /, "")
return a.downcase
end
These are validations that need to be accessed from an admin tool and
a crawler_controller... It just looks like adding to the active record
validation.rb file might not be the right place. Maybe I'm wrong?

[Rails] datetime_select issues
I tried using this to build a datetime text box area: select_datetime (date = Time.now, :order => [:year, :month, :day]) This just returns a hash will the year, month, day, hour, minute. I also tried using datetime_select to do the same thing, but cant figure out how to capture the value of the input. Is there an easier way to do this??
