Let's say I created a mountable engine called 'Soho' that has a controller for 'Users'. I can go to /users/1 to see my user with ID 1. Inside 'Soho', I have a application.html.erb for layout. Now let's assume I want to "blend" my engine 'Soho' in an application called 'Soho_test', and I mount my engine at "/". So, in my host application 'Soho_test', I can also go at /users/1 to see my user with ID 1. This is working. My question is : how can I do in my host application 'Soho_test' to apply the 'Soho_test' application.html.erb to the /users/1 (user profile page) instead of the one in the 'Soho'

I have to add Wufoo-like WYSIWYG form-builder functionality to a Rails webapp. Does anyone know of good resources (gems/engines/plugins/example code) that would help? this is not really an answer to your question, but I still can't add comments unfortunately, due to my reputation level, sorry :) There is exact equivalent of such functionality in Drupal(php) http://drupal.org/project/webform especially useful for contact forms, i.e. clients happy and don't bug me every time they want to adjust or even to add new inquiry form :) Would be nice to have such gem/plugin if any? :P Thanks. I don't

Having finished Hartl's great Rails Tutorial I'm now working my way through the very good jQuery - Novice to Ninja by Castledine and Sharkie. While I've able to include jquery.js and jquery-ui.js in my rails projects, I'm getting stuck when it comes to adding other jQuery plugins. I've figured out that when the plugins are hosted on github, I can import them into my project using the command line and: [my rails app]$ rails install [github URL] The plugin gets successfully imported into the /vendor/plugin/ directory where javascript_include_tag can't find them. This situation prompts 3

I'm thinking about writing an automatic spam protection system (maybe I will write a public gem) for rails. My concept is to include a helper method in application_controller f.e.: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base automatic_captcha_redirect(:min_time => 30.seconds :limit => 50) ... end Then I want to include automatical a before_filter in every controller, which checks, if the current request is via post, put or delete-method. If the user's last post-request is smaller than :min_time, then the request should be redirected to an captcha-input-page (the posted user-data

I'm working on a Rails plugin that includes a way to modify the order of associated records in a has_many :through association. Say we have the following models: class Playlist < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :playlists_songs, :dependent => :destroy has_many :songs, :through => :playlists_songs end class Song < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :playlists_songs, :dependent => :destroy has_many :playlists, :through => :playlists_songs end class PlaylistsSong < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :playlist belongs_to :song end If we change the order of a Playlist's Songs (e.g. @playlist.songs.rotate! ), Rails

I found an example here showing how to install a Rails plugin. Their example shows this: ./script/plugin install calendar_helper This won't work for me because, confusingly, I don't have anything called plugin in my script directory. All I have is rails : $ ls script/ rails So Rails doesn't come with the script you need to install plugins? You need a plugin to install plugins? That doesn't seem very likely. Is something wrong with my Rails project? You're probably on Rails 3. Replace ./script/plugin with rails plugin. rails plugin install calendar_helper But the other problem is plugins,

I've found an old plugin called acts_as_habtm_list - but it's for Rails 1.0.0. Is this functionality built in acts_as_list now? I can't seem to find any information on it. Basically, I have an artists_events table - no model. The relationship is handled through those two models specifying :has_and_belongs_to_many How can I specify order in this situation? I'm assuming that you have two models - Artist and Event. You want to have an habtm relationship between them and you want to be able to define an order of events for each artist. Here's my solution. I'm writing this code from my head, but
