I absolutely loves Rails 2.0 and the command line conveniences it provides for the RESTful scaffolding and models. Here’s a couple of tricks to generate a migration to quickly to add/remove columns from an existing table. Assume you already have a table called ‘Users’.
Checkboxes are one of those things that look easy and should be easy, but they aren't always easy. I needed a solution that could create a checkbox list of languages that a user speaks. So I don't forget here's how to do it: The migrations are important. You have to be sure to exclude the id parameter when you create languages_users or you will get ' Mysql::Error: #23000Duplicate entry' due to the fact that ActiveRecord will try to store a value in the id field that indicates which model created the entry (User.languages << vs Langauges.users).

Rails::Sublayouts
I was playing around with layouts in Rails the other day… I know, clearly I have too much time on my hands. But anyway, I found that you can fake a nested layout scheme in Rails by delegating view rendering to partials. As an added bonus, you don’t need to hack around with any of Rails’ internals to make it work. For example, let’s say I’m working on an application that has both a public layout and an admin layout. The public layout consists of tabs and a sidebar.

Pagination is extremely important in any web application. Let’s say a client has a database with 10,000 cars for sale. You, the intrepid web developer, are hired to build a web front end to the database.rails::Full text search in Ruby on Rails 2 - MySQL
My previous post compared MySQL and ferret full text search engines. For our project, the ferret was the winner. Nevertheless, I will try to show the beauty and simplicity of using MySQL indexes. Create table and indices First of all it is necessary to create table and the corresponding index. CREATE TABLE articles ( id integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT , title varchar ( 20 ) , body varchar ( 100 ) , fulltext ( title, body ) ) engine = MyISAM;<BR>

ActionView is the module in the ActionPack library that deals with rendering a response to the client. The controller decides which template and/or partial and layout to use in the response Templates use helper methods to format text, generate links, forms, and JavaScript. Templates that belong to a certain controller typically live under app/view/controller_name, i.e. templates for Admin::UsersController live under app/views/admin/users Templates shared across controllers are put under app/views/shared. You can render them with render :template => ‘shared/my_template’ You can have templates shared across Rails applications and render them with render :file => ‘path/to/template’ Templates have access to the controller objects flash, headers, logger, params, request, response, and session.
While working on a CRM system in Ruby on Rails 2.2 I needed to find a way to email one of the users a weekly report. The report would be generated from the PDF templates already integrated with the front-end using the RTex plug-in for Rails . The solution was to include the following in an ActionMailer model to render the view away from the controller and attach the result to an email.

A Guide to Active Record Associations
1 Why Associations? Why do we need associations between models? Because they make common operations simpler and easier in your code. For example, consider a simple Rails application that includes a model for customers and a model for orders.Sample Use Download the sample OFC2 project. rails testing_ofc_2 cd testing_ofc_2 script/plugin install git://github.com/pullmonkey/open_flash_chart.git If the above line did not work for you, you can also use http - script/plugin install http://github.com/pullmonkey/open_flash_chart.git script/generate controller test_it Add the following to the test_it_controller.rb in RAILS_ROOT/app/controllers: Add the following to index.html.erb in RAILS_ROOT/app/views/test_it/: Copy swfobject.js from the plugin's assets/ directory (will make this happen at install time later) to your RAILS_ROOT/public/javascripts directory Copy open-flash-chart.swf from the plugin's assets/ director to your RAILS_ROOT/public/ directory script/server Browse to http://localhost:3000/test_it Let me know how it goes, thanks.
