Oh man.

When URI was suggested, while researching it I found the Addressable gem. While reading about Addressable, I found ruby-oembed. While reading about ruby-oembed I found embedly. Pretty much every single time I came back to the thread, the next thing was suggested.

Embedly is unbelievably awesome. It's still a bit quirky, often links to news websites don't work. But for now, it's exactly what I need.

Here is what I've worked out.

code:

class Embedly
  def self.get_attrs(url)
    embedly_url = "http://api.embed.ly/1/oembed?url=#{url}"
    response = RestClient.get embedly_url
    attrs = JSON.parse response.body
  rescue
    {}
  end
end

code:

class Link
  [..blah blah blah]

  before_validation :set_attrs_via_embedly, :on => :create
  
  protected

  def set_attrs_via_embedly
    attrs = Embedly.get_attrs(url)
    if ["photo", "video", "rich", "link"].include? attrs[:type]
      self.type = attrs[:type]
      self.provider_name = attrs[:provider_name]
      self.title = attrs[:title]
      self.thumbnail_url = attrs[:thumbnail_url]
      self.thumbnail_width = attrs[:thumbnail_width]
      self.thumbnail_height = attrs[:thumbnail_height]
      self.description = attrs[:description]
    end
  end
end

It's like magic. Thanks everybody!

I guess this is more of a ruby question, but I'm using it in a rails app so I guess it still works here...

I'm tying to compare to times, and the way I'm doing seems to work, I'm just sure there has to be a better way.

Basically, I'm querying an API that returns a time in "20101229 22:28" format, and I want to take the difference and return a string of that, but just in minutes.

code:

now = Time.parse(e.elements['tmstmp'].text)
arrival = Time.parse(e.elements['prdtm'].text)
...
ret << ((arrival - now)/60).to_s

Thanks in advance for any help!

You're only figuring out the difference in the *minutes*, not the actual times. Thusly:

code:

>> a = Time.now
=> Thu Dec 30 23:12:09 +0000 2010
>> b = 3.weeks.ago
=> Thu Dec 09 23:12:13 +0000 2010
>> (a.min - b.min)
=> 0

A Time minus a Time returns a distance in seconds, I believe.

Edit for succinctness.

Ive made a blog and in the model I have a column for categories. Whats the easiest way to I guess, filter those categories like a wordpress blog?

I was hoping I could make a link_to that was something like

code:

<%= link_to "category name", blogs_path(params[:category => category_name])  %>

Or something like that. What I have no doesnt actually do anything. It just reloads the blog page :/.
Basically, I want to pass in the category name so that the blog index will ONLY load the blogs of a certain category

# ? Jan 5, 2011 21:58

NotShadowStar: Sep 20, 2000

Easiest
1) Make a category method on your blog controller

code:

def category
  @posts = Post.where(:category => params[:category])
end

2) Create a route

code:

#the :as parameter creates a named route like blog_category_path()
match "blog/category/:category", :controller => "blog", :action => "category", :as => :blog_category

3) Create the erb or haml view for categories

coool. Im using rails3 tho, so that match would be

code:

match "/blog/category/:category" => "blog#category", :path => "/blog/ something or other

right? and then I could use the same link_to?

# ? Jan 5, 2011 22:20

NotShadowStar: Sep 20, 2000

Er, I got the route syntax a bit wrong. You're right as in it needs to be a hash, and I generally use the more verbose, older :controller :action syntax but the new way it would look like

code:

match "/blog/category/:category" => "blog#category", :as => :blog_category

Doing :path => :blog will do wacky things because you're likely already mapping /blog to "blog#index". It sounds like you want the URL to be /blog?category=something but you don't actually want to do that. It'll make the index action in your blog controller too complicated, and the URLs aren't as nice. By making a separate method the URLs are nicer as it'll be /blog/category/something and you don't pollute the index method with logic.

ok so I have this in my routes

code:

  match "/blog/category/:category" => "blogs#category", :as => "blog_category"

and here is my link_to

code:

 blog_category_path(params[:category => category_name])

but it's breaking, giving me:

code:

No route matches {:action=>"category", :controller=>"blogs"}

also - I have a resource for the rest of the blog mapped as

code:

  resources :blogs, :only => [:index, :show], :path => "/blog"

dont know if that fucks things up

code:

Why do you have it like this?

You should probably rename the controller to 'posts' or 'articles' or some such to be less confusing when you're naming things.

Thats just how my boss (who wants me to to learn more RoR) taught me. That route just maps out the only the index of the blog and the individual posts.

Are you saying I should make a separate controller for the filtered posts?

# ? Jan 6, 2011 17:14

NotShadowStar: Sep 20, 2000

Okay, Rails is very heavy on English language semantics, in part because it very much wants you to do REST, and a large part of the idea of REST matching the idea of English verbs and nouns to application actions.

So in what you provided you have a resource named 'blogs'. If you think about this in English, what you are saying is that resource accesses many different blogs. When you're writing your application in Ruby, you write constructions like blogs_path. This doesn't make sense, because that resource isn't accessing different blogs. What is is accessing is different posts or articles.

Now if you rename your controller to posts or articles, it makes much much more sense in the English language, and a lot of the confusion goes away just because you're dealing with something you know.

If you're following you're likely thinking "okay, but the controller and model are named the same". And typically, when you're doing REST and the models are simple, you're exactly correct. There's nothing wrong with that. It actually makes things logically simpler in your mind if you don't think about it. An article controller controls... articles!

So, first thing, rename your controller to something that it actually represents, like posts or articles. Then get rid of the weird :as. You just want to do

code:

resources :posts

Now if you want the root url of the application to be the posts, you just say that

code:

root :to => 'posts#index'

Lastly, why :only? I'm going to guess you have a separate admin controller. Don't do that, what you want to do is protect actions on the posts controller; but we'll get to that later.

# ? Jan 6, 2011 19:05

Nolgthorn: Jan 30, 2001; The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense

In general you are going to want to think about it with regard to what types of objects you are working. Each object if left to its devices will be listed, shown, created, updated, and destroyed. So, for instance in my application to log a user in, I have a users controller, sessions controller, confirmations controller, and a passwords controller.

Why?

Because I want to be able to list, show, create, update, destroy+ (many) different users. I want to create, destroy sessions (login and out). I want to create confirmations (in case a user has to manually request their welcome email because it wasn't received or whatever). I want to create forgotten password retrievals (in case a user has to request a password reset to get back into their account).

Each of those is a object, which is what we are trying to sort of steer our users to interact with. It makes everything very easy when you think about it like this. It's like shaving huge amounts of weight worth of memory work you would have to do, off of yourself. Because the functionality is so explicit, it's all just named pretty much exactly what it's for.

Then later on, if you know Rail's "way" and the way it likes to do things you'll begin to find more and more that it does those things without you telling it to. As long as you use REST. In fact you might have to tell Rails not to do quite a lot of the things it does. Come to think of it this is a good time to bring up how annoying I am finding it is that I declare all the fields I want the user to have accessible in the model, instead of the controller.

Sometimes I want only certain fields only accessible depending on who the user is, where they are accessing methods from. Or whether the fields are being accessed through a relation.

Is it possible to move attr_accessible functionality to the controller?

Nolgthorn posted:

Think about this for a second. You're trying to make a case where the a model association is accessible through another model in a controller.

I don't think you quite understand what attr_accessible does. It does not expose model fields as being accessible. It makes the fields you specify fields updatable through mass assignment through another model. Ex:

code:

class Attachment < ActiveRecord::Base
 belongs_to :comment
end

class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
 has_many :attachments
 belongs_to :post
end

Say you wanted to create comments and attachments in one fell step instead of iterating over arrays. This is really important with complex forms, because that would be a lot of iteration and very very slow and error-prone. It would be something like

code:

@post = Post.where(params[:id].first
params[:comments].each do |field, value|
 if k == :attachment
  value.each do |attachment_name, attachment_value|
   #handle attachment data
  end
 else
  #handle comment fields
  end
end
[code]

That just sucks.  Instead Rails came up with a way to do it all in one fell swoop.  If you use fields_for in your forms, Rails will parse the entire form as a nested hash in the parameters[] that you can use

[code]
@post = Post.where(params[:id].first
@post.update_attributes params[:post]
@post.save

However it's easy to see this can be a very dangerous operation. Simple form manipulation and poking around and someone can use mass-assignment to save fields that form wasn't supposed to. So you have to be explicit in what fields can be saved through mass assignment, and that's exactly what attr_accessible does.

# ? Jan 7, 2011 17:12

Nolgthorn: Jan 30, 2001; The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense

That's not what I am talking about.

I know, all of that.

I mean what I want to do is restrict the fields that are accessible, further than in the model, from the controller when performing mass assignment from certain actions or controllers which may access the same model.

# ? Jan 7, 2011 17:23

rugbert: Mar 26, 2003; yea, fuck you

Ah, Ok! Yea that makes perfect sense.

So what Ive done is namespaced my blog to /blog and changed the model to blog_posts. I havent tested the show view yet but categories work now. Thanks! Ill keep these naming conventions in mind.

Another question -

Im learning RoR by making a new site for my tattoo artist. Its a really simple site, has a blog, a page for his tattoos, one for his art, a store (has_many products) and a contact page. Well, someone in the gallery he works at asked me to make a site for the entire gallery now. I want to keep the format exactly the same, but how easy would it be so that each user who is created has access to their own tattoo/artwork galleries,blog, store,products. So that when they log in they only see these things that belong to them.

God that made no sense. Sorry, no sleep last night.

But yea, would I do something in each model like authenticating a user? Or would I created a new field in each model for user and have the controller find blogs/tattoos/whatever by user? RoR is pretty smart so Im assuming theres a way to do this in the models.

# ? Jan 7, 2011 18:50

NotShadowStar: Sep 20, 2000

Model-level authentication is very rare and almost unheard of. In general you protect resources on the controller. Always think of controllers as the gateway to models, and the models just do their business, so you want to protect the gateway.

Think of it this way. If you're in a larger site and you put a bunch of protection on the models, and you start working with the models directly (say in the console) it'll be a world of hurt.

As for authentication, don't roll your own. You'll get it wrong and screw it up and be insecure. There are tons and tons of very nice authentication systems for Rails. The hottest and latest is Devise. Railscasts has something on it, though it's slightly out of date.

# ? Jan 7, 2011 19:05

rugbert: Mar 26, 2003; yea, fuck you

Yea, Im using devise to login right now. Super easy. I was just looking for a really easy way to to use the existing site but give each user their own blog/tattoo gallery/store.

edit - DUH, I can just do user > has_one > gallery and each gallery belongs to one user right?

I have an idea for an app I'd like to build, and from what I understand, Rails would be a good framework for it and I've been wanting to learn what all this Rails excitement is about, so I'm going to give it a shot. I have some crappy hosting with MySQL and Rails, but all I see in this thread is stuff about Heroku. So I went to look at pricing... but I don't know jack about what a "dyno" or a "worker" is, how much I might use, or whatever.

This is a simple little app (dinky CRM type thing) for me to gently caress around with and learn rails and possibly get something accomplished. It will just be me using it, low traffic and stuff. The lowest settings on the Heroku pricing page give me $36/month which I don't really want to shell out considering this is just for fun. Should I just install the Rails package on my crappy hosting I've already paid for and go that way, or is that Heroku estimate high for what I'd actually be using? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Edit: after re-reading with my comprehension hat on, it looks like I don't need any Workers and it will be pretty much free for me, since Dyno #1 is free. And I don't really care about performance right now. Sorry for the dumb question.

So I have a controller that sets a string variable, like @cocks. When in the view erb, I want to output that variable. It's always nil. I thought I'd add in resources :cocks into the route.rb file, but that didn't seem to help. Any other suggestions?

Additionally, if I'm implementing a form, should I just write it in HTML or is there a Rails way of making a form and POST/GETing it to an action?

Ruby on Windows is still a hellaciously painful ordeal. Last time I did it I resorted to rvm under Cygwin and it was P A I N F U L L Y slow. So much I went 'gently caress it I'm going Ubuntu'.

Most of the problem comes from the lack of a decent GCC on Windows, lots of the Ruby C-based extensions, like mysql and sqlite use GCC.

Virtual PC is oddly unstable for the virtualized OS when running Ubuntu. It really annoys me because it feels like something Microsoft would do on purpose. I had to start using VMWare because of this.

This reminds me of back in the Windows 3.1 days, I installed WordPerfect and it would give me these kinds of errors constantly. I thought for years that it was an MS conspiracy to get you to buy Word.

I am not a Microsoft hater or anything at all. It is my primary OS and I use Visual Studio for development(thank god for viemu), I really could not be more of a Windows guy these days. Whenever I would try to use Ubuntu under Virtual PC, it would get random kernel panics and memory errors.

Currently working on a FreeBSD machine for migrating the company's website over to Rails. :woop:
