[Thu Jul 21 22:31:00 +0930 2005]Howdy! Does anyone know if HtmlEngine is a gem or not?
[Thu Jul 21 22:39:00 +0930 2005]aqua: yes I searched, but login_generator installs [in an app] as "login_system" so I wasn't sure if it just had another name or was custom code in Typo.
[Thu Jul 21 22:40:00 +0930 2005]I'm going to assume it's not a gem.
[Thu Jul 21 22:43:00 +0930 2005]Thanks!

[Mon Aug 08 11:28:00 +0930 2005]Morning, everybody!
[Mon Aug 08 11:29:00 +0930 2005]Does anyone know how to save information to a text file using RoR?
[Mon Aug 08 11:30:00 +0930 2005]I had a feeling it was in Ruby itself rather than rails. Which would be why all my googling added up to nada.
[Mon Aug 08 11:31:00 +0930 2005]I'll only have one user [ever] writing to that file, so hopefully the multithreading shouldn't be an issue. [Though I'm not sure about multithreading to begin with.]

[Mon Aug 08 13:56:00 +0930 2005]It's not actually [go figger that RoR makes it easy-ish] but I'm looking for an actual example. I'm getting an error.
[Mon Aug 08 14:01:00 +0930 2005]Failing anyone having gotten all down and dirty with the ActiveRecord::Base, can anyone tell me how to make sure a database exists?

[Mon Aug 08 18:24:00 +0930 2005]How do you pass a title attribute via the link_to method?
[Mon Aug 08 18:27:00 +0930 2005]Thanks technoweenie... I had my brackets a little confused there [my :controller was outside the bracket].
[Mon Aug 08 18:28:00 +0930 2005]I was close, just putting the :controller where it was made four things to pass not three.

[Wed Sep 14 17:37:00 +0930 2005]Yes, Dreamer3.

[Thu Sep 15 16:47:00 +0930 2005]If you've got a table that doesn't require its own controller do you still need to create a model for it via 'ruby script/generate'? Or is there somewhere generic to add the necessary validations and relations?

[Fri Sep 16 12:39:00 +0930 2005]morning!
[Fri Sep 16 12:49:00 +0930 2005]Is there a way to call link_to from a model?
[Fri Sep 16 12:51:00 +0930 2005]Hybrid: I need/want a "smart" link a la client.name but like client.link which returns a link.
[Fri Sep 16 12:55:00 +0930 2005]Hybrid: I guess [in order to keep MVC] I'm really looking for a cleaner way to pass the client.id than: some_function client_id
[Fri Sep 16 13:08:00 +0930 2005]Hybrid: Another question... If I added a method (status) to the model Client which translates the client.state from a 0/1 term into human terms, is that breaking MVC?
[Fri Sep 16 13:08:00 +0930 2005]Thanks, Hybrid.

[Fri Sep 30 12:52:00 +0930 2005]Besides validations, what else would cause @some_db_object.save to fail?
[Fri Sep 30 12:58:00 +0930 2005]Um... lemme try the question this way... If there are no validations on an object, will @some_db_object.save EVER fail?
[Fri Sep 30 13:00:00 +0930 2005]SkizW, I've had to manual error-check on what got saved, so I know that the one thing [a file's content-type] is legitimate. Short of that, might I be safe to just assume it gets saved?
[Fri Sep 30 13:01:00 +0930 2005]manual = manually
[Fri Sep 30 13:02:00 +0930 2005]That's what I've got right now, but I can't come up with user-friendly explanation of what went wrong and why the user's not where he thinks he should be.
[Fri Sep 30 13:05:00 +0930 2005]Huh?
[Fri Sep 30 13:06:00 +0930 2005]Oh, that'd be why I didn't recognize it. I've got to be one of the few geektypes that don't care for the Simpsons.
[Fri Sep 30 13:08:00 +0930 2005]So what exactly happens in here all day? Just people coming in and out asking questions or do people hang out and such?
[Fri Sep 30 13:10:00 +0930 2005]How do you get actual work done? [I usually ask my questions and vanish, for which rudeness I apologize for]
[Fri Sep 30 13:11:00 +0930 2005]I'm gonna give sitting/lurking in here a spin today.
[Fri Sep 30 13:13:00 +0930 2005]SkizW, so it's a stress reliever, eh? That's kind of why I'd like to leave the window open myself. Something to rest the brain or at least think about problems other than my own.
[Fri Sep 30 13:14:00 +0930 2005]How many of you kittens are making money working with the Rails?

[Fri Sep 30 13:14:00 +0930 2005]Kittens are just like smotchkisses. ;) Only meaner.
[Fri Sep 30 13:17:00 +0930 2005]chiptmatt, I understand. I'm using Rails to power a backend CMS-y thing for some sites I'm working on [and planning for future sites].
[Fri Sep 30 13:18:00 +0930 2005]I'm beginning to think I might just understand Rails a little now though.
[Fri Sep 30 13:19:00 +0930 2005]chiptmatt, so you've been working with file uploads a lot as well. :/
[Fri Sep 30 13:19:00 +0930 2005]Not even admin-side?
[Fri Sep 30 13:20:00 +0930 2005]Oh...
[Fri Sep 30 13:22:00 +0930 2005]chiptmatt, my project enables artists [visual types, not musicians--yet] to update their site without the designer's involvement for every little thing. Kind of like if you crammed blogging and image gallery apps together, but not so much.
[Fri Sep 30 13:22:00 +0930 2005]So uploading images is part and parcel of the app.
[Fri Sep 30 13:22:00 +0930 2005]Not so much.
[Fri Sep 30 13:23:00 +0930 2005]No offense taken.
[Fri Sep 30 13:25:00 +0930 2005]nzoschke, when I try that in irb I get "undefined method 'each' for nil:NilClass"
[Fri Sep 30 13:25:00 +0930 2005]It never makes it inside, does it?
[Fri Sep 30 13:29:00 +0930 2005]chiptmatt, don't you mean "for ticket in type ... end if type?

[Fri Sep 30 13:35:00 +0930 2005]Kinsbane, why Postgresql?
[Fri Sep 30 13:37:00 +0930 2005]Kinsbane, just wondering.
[Fri Sep 30 13:39:00 +0930 2005]x_or, it sounds like you actually have tabular data, right?
[Fri Sep 30 13:40:00 +0930 2005]You can use tables for that and not feel shame.
[Fri Sep 30 13:40:00 +0930 2005]Tables are only bad for layout not displaying data.
[Fri Sep 30 13:40:00 +0930 2005]x_or, you can still style the td/tr/whatever.
[Fri Sep 30 13:41:00 +0930 2005][opie], I was one of those people who were averse to tables until working with Rails and dbs so much lately.
[Fri Sep 30 13:44:00 +0930 2005]Jesus, those nested divs make me remember the old days of tables within tables [recurse].
[Fri Sep 30 13:50:00 +0930 2005]When did 1.8.3 come out? And why do I [luckily] have 1.8.2?
[Fri Sep 30 13:51:00 +0930 2005][opie], Windoze. Checking the URL now.
[Fri Sep 30 13:52:00 +0930 2005]Thank god I've been in my own little world lately instead of updating things like I normally do.

[Fri Sep 30 14:07:00 +0930 2005]Howdy
[Fri Sep 30 14:16:00 +0930 2005]I have a super-dumb question: Does it matter if require_dependency 'whatever' is on the inside or outside of a class declaration?
[Fri Sep 30 14:31:00 +0930 2005]giant_sloar, what's this about MySQL commercial licensing?
[Fri Sep 30 14:35:00 +0930 2005]srbaker, mysql doesn't require an adapter though, right?
[Fri Sep 30 14:36:00 +0930 2005]true.
[Fri Sep 30 14:36:00 +0930 2005]How many people here use MySQL?
[Fri Sep 30 14:38:00 +0930 2005]Does this licensing thingie apply to using a MySQL server or just running one?
[Fri Sep 30 14:40:00 +0930 2005]giant_sloar, aren't Rails apps by nature open source? [since you really can't hide the code from a client]
[Fri Sep 30 14:43:00 +0930 2005]Okay... So if I use a MySQL db in developping a website for a client and get paid for it... I've got to get a license? That doesn't sound right.
[Fri Sep 30 14:46:00 +0930 2005]giant_sloar, so I'm "safe" because I'm not packaging the db as part of the CMS, but it's something you have to bring to the table yourself?
[Fri Sep 30 14:50:00 +0930 2005]@object.id or @object.id.to_s ??
[Fri Sep 30 14:52:00 +0930 2005]flzz, isn't the table row the same as the object?
[Fri Sep 30 14:53:00 +0930 2005]Ah, I actually remember that now.
[Fri Sep 30 14:54:00 +0930 2005]peter_123, assuming you've already done "for individual_thing in @list_of_things", individual_thing.id should work. individual_thing.id.to_s, if not.
[Fri Sep 30 14:55:00 +0930 2005]column.id, yup.
[Fri Sep 30 14:56:00 +0930 2005]ActiveView doesn't care about datatypes, right? No need to column.id.to_s, right?
[Fri Sep 30 14:57:00 +0930 2005]peter_123, what kind of object does Applicant.content_columns return?
[Fri Sep 30 14:59:00 +0930 2005]I don't deal with numbers enough to know off the top of my head how to format them.
[Fri Sep 30 15:02:00 +0930 2005]giant_sloar, but doesn't the web hosting that "comes with" MySQL already have a license?
[Fri Sep 30 15:04:00 +0930 2005]flzz, that's what we were discussing too.
[Fri Sep 30 15:05:00 +0930 2005]I wonder if Six Apart pays for licenses. That'd answer the question. Maybe.
[Fri Sep 30 15:06:00 +0930 2005][Since MoveableType uses MySQL]
[Fri Sep 30 15:06:00 +0930 2005]peter_123, I don't think that Applicants.whatever returns a list of applicant objects, I bet.
[Fri Sep 30 15:08:00 +0930 2005]Your Applicant.content_columns.
[Fri Sep 30 15:08:00 +0930 2005]What's that contain?
[Fri Sep 30 15:09:00 +0930 2005]So Applicant.content_columns is a collection of Applicant objects?
[Fri Sep 30 15:10:00 +0930 2005]Or, at least, a collection of bits of Applicant objects?

[Sat Feb 11 22:47:00 +1030 2006]I guess, but the standard pagination uses constants and I couldn't figure out how to hack it.

[Wed Feb 15 14:52:00 +1030 2006]Goynang... This would be a prime example of single vs double quotes. No variable interpolation there. [Even though ':controller/:id' seems to be an interpolation].
