So I tried this in the console: c = Category.find(2) chunks = Chunk.find_by_category(c) chunks is always returned as an empty array. When I know have some chunks with a category_id of 2.

I''m returning my photos to my site, but I''m want to limit the result to like 5 photos or something. Right now, it''s returning all of my public photos. What I''m attempting is to do some sort of counter loop in the view to limit this, but it seems like the API would have a count or a limit option.

Hello all, I am developing an online store and would like to keep track of how many times each product was viewed.

Hi, Has anyone gotten the "roughcuts" of the Ruby and Rails cookbooks? If you have the Pragmattic Rails Cookbook is the O''Reilly worth it? Also can you download PDF''s of their "roughcuts". The website is kind of vague, it just mentions online access (whatever that means). Thanks in advance.

Hello, I''m trying to figure out how I could implement fragment caching that expires every x amount of time. I thought of writing a runner script that would expire the cache and set it as a cron job, but that doesn''t really work because runner scripts act on models and not controllers. Does anybody have any ideas? Regards, -carl
