Ruby on Rails

I have done my first MVP in rails, an invoicing application,https://github.com/pietrop/simpleinvoice

So at the moment when I create an invoice, (I use the active record find or create method for defining the client on creation of the invoice) it pulls up the client details, the bank details of the user, and the user details as pre-populated editable fields, the user only needs to add the services and the invoice is done.

Where is the problem?

if the user creates a second invoice and edits any of those pre-populated details(client, bank, and user details) it changes on all of the invoices. and in this context it creates inaccurate unreliable historic records.

What would you recommend is the best way to sort this out in Rails?

The justification for this change seems preposterous. Why would anyone
think that, in the former example, the database has changed? The method
called there is named "select!".

Now I see my own confusion - I was convinced that these two snippets are
identical in Rails 3 (Well, they are - JUST in MY case)

You could make a helper that would extract this value from the user and translate the display string. If you set up a hash like {'USD' => :en-US, 'GBP' => :en-BG, ...} then there would be one place to ...more

Hang on do you mean to convert USD 1000 into AUD 1000? Surely you would
need to do a currency conversion because USD 1000 is AUD 1064. This would
seem to have nothing to do with locales at all.

I just saw a gem on RubyFlow last week that handles currency conversions using Google as a data source. If that's what you're after, forget what I said and use that.

I think you have to add script for datepicker
Just like below
 
$(function() {
$(".date_picker").datepicker({
dateFormat : 'd M, yy',
minDate : 0,
maxDate : +90
}); ...more
