Re: Custom Validations Altering Variable

Alright I wrote a test and figured out what was wrong turned out that
I had the form submitting the data to the edit section of the
controller instead of the update section. I fixed it and it all works
out, when you use update_attributes it does use the override of the
set method.

Now then my only question now is where can I put the universal methods

This would be a single DB connection, so it seems like a good candidate
for a transaction. What's the problem with doing that?

But in this case, you probably don't need a server request -- I think
JavaScript has an equivalent to Time.now.
In any case, I would advise against using ERb in JavaScript...

What would be the best way to build the GET request url with the
specified plan ids (for instance with form where you can use checkboxes
to set the desired plans)? Would you do it with JS?

That's completely normal - At the point that the template is rendered
all of your <%= are evaluated - if you look at the source in the
browser you won't see any of your ruby code (and even if you could,
what's your browser supposed to do with ruby). If you need some ruby
code evaluated you need to make a request to the server

I would do it with nested routes and map.resource. You would end up
with a rout that looked like this:

/plans/:plan_id/compare/:id

If you are comparing more than one at a time then I would do what was
suggested before and pass an array of IDs as a GET request.

Time.now "stuck" in Javascript Function.

nds...@iinet.net.au (Nick S) — Sun, 11 Nov 2009 15:36:29 UT

Novice RoR programmer here, I've run into a bit of a stumbling block,
concerning Time.now seemingly not updating in between JS function
calls.

My code is as follows:

function test()
{
document.getElementById("chatb ox").value += "<%= Time.now %>" + "\n";

...

<textarea id="chatbox" rows="10" cols="80" class="chatbox"

Whichever makes more sense for you is the way to go. I think I would
probably put it in a compare action in the Plans controller.

thumbnail_file=StringIO.new(th umbnail)

binary file.
thumbnail_file=StringIO.new(th umbnail.to_s)
