I can’t believe I’m back again with another rest question. I did go through the peepcode podcast. I thought though you can have multiple nested resources, is that not true ? I have this set up map.resources :candidates do |candidate| candidate.resources :canbackgrounds candidate.resources :canpositions end I just coded up teh canpositions and now all of a sudden I’m getting a no method error on canbackgrounds. Wondering if I’m wrong about multiple nests.

However I’m getting this error: Mysql::Error: #42S22Unknown column ‘canpositions.candidate\_id’ in ‘where clause’: SELECT count(\*) AS count\_all FROM canpositions WHERE ( canpositions.candidate\_id = 12) Which comes from my show code: \<% unless @candidate.canpositions.empty? %\> \<%= render :partial =\> “/canpositions/canposition”, :collection =\> @ candidate.canpositions %\> \<% end %\> \<% if @candidate.canpositions.empty? %\> \<%= link\_to “Add background”, new\_canposition\_url(@candidate) %\> \<% end %\> Not sure what’s going on.

John L. is one talented individual and a great voice of the ruby community especially to the .NET and microsoft world. This is a good thing for us. ---

What else can you expect from M$ ? ---

Agree… Imagine Ruby running much, much faster and closer to the iron. It would run on IIS and possibly also on mono. This is not about competing with Sun. ---

This is a good > thing for us. I agree. Ruby on win32 sucks horribly. Mongrel runs incredibly slow. Sockets throw weird errno exceptions. IO is painfully lacking. If anyone can get a compatible Ruby 1.8 running on .NET it’d be a major advantage for a huge number of people. Also, I don’t think MS is all that interested in the J++ strategy anymore. They only did that because they didn’t own the platform. With .NET, they own the platform, and they can sell it better when more languages run on it. Why else did they make it so easy to put other languages on their gear? – Zed A.

I’m an idiot ! I admit it. I had left the candidate\_id column out of the table! Doh! Forgive me Stuart On 10/25/06, Dark A.
