What admin panel? If you're looking for content management, there are a
few CMS solutions implemented in Rails. Radiant is one and you can find
a number more if you search the archives for this group/ mailing list.

yeah i have looked Radiant.... but not able to work it properly coz the
link that i am following does not give the exact description of how to
use it. I have also tried admin_pages_engine but again not able to
implement it properly. Can you tell me some other option???
Mohit Sindhwani
What do you mean that Radiant is not able to work properly? It seems to
work absolutely fine for a couple of sites that I'm managing. The
documentation site on the Radiant site includes links to a few tutorials
that should help you get started.
Of course, a lot depends on what you want to do and what is required of
the site that you're designing. I don't think anyone can give you an
option if you're not clear (and don't tell us) what needs to be implemented.

Hi...
I am using this link "http://www.radiantcms.org/download/" U can check
that in this link when we click on install instructions it gives an
error. So I am not able to do the exact implementation.
Mohit Sindhwani
The documentation is being migrated to another wiki. You can find all
the documentation for Radiant on the documentation site:
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Documentation
Installation: http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Installation
Also, there are how-to articles and also tutorials. Just start at the
documentation page.
Cheers,
Mohit.

Good Morning,
Let me try these links.... wud let u know. Yes we have holidays on
friday,sat and sunday.
Ruchita Sharma
Hi Abhimanyu,
I have implemented it with fckeditor by saving saving in the database.
Tell me one thing how can we create a activate or deactivate button in
rails.
Abhi Manyu
this is a code that I got . this is to hide a text box.try this for
button
<input type=text id=text1>
<input type=button value=hide onclick=hide()>
<input type=button value=show onclick=show()>
<script type=text/javascript>
function hide(){
document.getElementById('text1').style.visibility='hidden';
}
function show(){
document.getElementById('text1').style.visibility='visible';
}
</script>
Ruchita Sharma
Thanks for that Abhimanyu.
But I mean to say that.... how can we implement the functionality that
on clicking of a button admin can activate or deactivate the status of a
user.
I have to implement the functionality where the list of users is coming
and the admin can activate or deactivate the status of a user.
Abhi Manyu
following code
User.update(params[id].to_i, :status => "inactive")
User ->table containing list of users

Why don't you use something like file_column or attachment_fu?
There's plenty of stuff on the internet on how to use file_column for
uploading images, creating thumbnails (you don't need to upload a
separate thumbnail) and displaying it all.
Take a look at the main home page for file_column - the code is there:
http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/
This shows how to display thumbnails:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToUseFileColumn

take the image from there

So images are saved in temp folder.

I must agree with Peter. First, half of this thread is personal
conversation between Abhi and Ruchita and should be taken off this
list. Second, the Rails-related talk is beginning to look more like
chat. You guys should try using IRC and join #rubyonrails on freenode.

Hi,
I need to select the last row from the database. For that am writing the
code:
@sorter = SortingHelper::Sorter.new self, %w(id), params[:id], 'id',
'DESC'
sort_by = params[:sort]
@content = Content.find :all, :order => sort_by, :limit => 1
but this coding is returning the value (#).
Can anyone tell me where i am wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ruchita
Abhi Manyu
@content = Content.find (:all,:order => 'nameof the column DESC')
eg
if name of column is "name"
@content = Content.find (:all,:order => 'name DESC')

Hi Abhimanyu,
I am implementing the functionality where i have to display the products
details as per user id. I have three tables users table, orders table
and line_items table. The fields are:
users table: id,first_name and so on.
orders table: id, user_id, first_name and so on.
line_items table: id, order_id, product_id, quantity and so on.
Now from these tables i have to display the product_id, quantity..... as
per user id. Please tell me how to implement this.
Abhi Manyu
@order = Order.find_by_user_id("userid")->fill the "userid"
@product = Line_items.find_by_order_id("orderid")-fill the "orderid"
if there are more than one orders then
@product=Array.new
@orders = Order.find_by_user_id("userid")->fill the "userid"
@orders.each do |order|
@var = Line_items.find_by_order_id(order)
@product << @var
end
@product will have all the products that the user have ordered
Ruchita Sharma
it is throwing an error:
NoMethodError in UserController#search
undefined method `each' for #<Order:0x4723338>
Abhi Manyu
Ruchita Sharma
> please send me the code
Let me clear my reqt once again. I have three tables users, orders and
line_items. Orders table have user_id and line_items have order_id.
Now the following code is giving error:
uninitialized constant UserController::Line_items

@orders = Order.find :all
session[:query] = params[:query].strip if params[:query]
if session[:query] and request.xhr?
@users = User.find(:all, :conditions => ["first_name LIKE ?",

@product=Array.new
@users.each do |user|
@orders.each do |order|
if user.id == order.user_id
@id = order.id
@var = Line_items.find_by_order_id(@id)
@product << @var
render_text "a"

find_by_x is like a find :first. You probably want find_all_by_x
The class name is LineItem (if you're adhering to the usual
conventions).
If you've defined your relationships properly, you could do something
along the lines of
@product = @users.collect {|u| u.orders.collect(&:line_items)}.flatten
(eager loading those associations might be a good idea)
You seem to be stumbling over some really basic rails stuff. Find a
good book on rails and read and understand it. AWDWR is a popular
favourite, and there's a book you can get for free at http://www.sitepoint.com/books/rails1/freebook.php

Giving the same error.... it is giving this error coz there is no
association between users table and lineitems table. Is there any
solution for that?

can you plese check whether the values are coming correct. Also try
running by deleting one by one
eg firt delete @var = Line_items.find_by_order_id(@id)
@product << @var
and run check if there is error

The code is:
@orders = Order.find :all
@lineitems = Lineitem.find :all
session[:query] = params[:query].strip if params[:query]
if session[:query] and request.xhr?
@users = User.find(:all, :conditions => ["first_name LIKE ?",
"%#{session[:query]}%"], :order => "first_name ASC")
@product=Array.new
@users.each do |user|
@orders.each do |order|
if user.id == order.user_id
@id = order.id
@var = @lineitems.find_by_order_id(@id)
@product << @var
render_text "a"
else
render_text "abc"
Now the error is:
undefined method `find_by_order_id' for #<Array:0x470c9a8>
Abhi Manyu
@var = LineItem.find_by_order_id(@id)
Abhi Manyu
@lineitems = Lineitem.find :all
session[:query] = params[:query].strip if params[:query]

@users = User.find(:all, :conditions => ["first_name LIKE ?",
"%#{session[:query]}%"], :order => "first_name ASC")
@product=Array.new
@users.each do |user|
@orders.each do |order|
if user.id == order.user_id
@id = order.id
@var = @lineitems.find_by_order_id(@id)
@product << @var
render_text "a"
else
render_text "abc"
Give breakpoint like this and check bvalue of @var also before that
replace
@product=Array.new with @product=Array.new()
Ruchita Sharma
> you have to give like

Yeah i have given it. But now the value of product is coming #.
Ruchita Sharma
Hi,
I have checked the values. Value of @id=order.id.... here the value of
id is coming right. I have checked the log file as well. @var =
@lineitems.find_by_order_id(@id).... the query is also coming right in
log file. . i.e.SELECT * FROM lineitems WHERE (lineitems.`order_id` =
1),but again the value of @var is coming #
Abhi Manyu

yes i did check the entries.
Abhi Manyu
1)you changed @var = @lineitems.find_by_order_id(@id) to
@var = LineItem.find_by_order_id(@id)
2)there is a field in LineItem called order_id
3)the association between LineItem and Order is clearly defined
rt?
if yes
Give
breakpoint LineItem.find_by_order_id(@id)
and tell

I have implemented the textbox to search the user by user name and then
displaying the products as per user id. So this code is to search the
user.

you can check values from console
let ur project folder's name be product let its location be c:
then in console
give like
c:\product\ruby script breakpointer
