I think I''m missing a step here, but they don''t seem to cover this in the AWDWR book... does anybody know the various steps required to switch from development to production mode in Rails? I''ve scoured the application and changed everything that stands out, but the damn thing is still running off the development database and won''t connect to the production

Does anybody know how to turn a floating-point number (i.e. 60.345) into an integer by cutting off or rounding the decimal portion? Either method, or both, would be quite welcome. Thanks! This forum rocks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Quick question - if i want to separate a long string of text, separated by single carriage returns, into an array of paragraphs, I can use the following code: paragraphs = article.content.split("\n") The "\n" means a carriage return, as far as I can tell. If I wanted to take text, that had been written using the more common double carriage returns, into an array of

Hi guys. Total newbie here. I''ve been doing web stuff since 1996 but only began the foray into scripting last year. I haven''t got my skull completely 360 degrees around OOP yet. It''s just me here (in Japan) and there are no Ruby groups in my area (never mind any in English). I''ve got a database table - real simple: question, answer, and id fields - and I

I''ve got a bunch of dynamically generated link paths that I want to use to link some dynamically-generated image paths. Specifically, I want to link thumbnails in a gallery to the larger images. But I''m stymied by Rails'' syntax. I can''t figure out how to do this. I tried this: <%= link_to(image_tag("../../images/photos/photo.photogroup/TN_

Has anybody had Rails just refuse to cooperate with anything? I had an application working great in development mode, then switched it over to production, tried to host it, but couldn''t. Some error that I can''t figure out. So I decided to create a simpler application, host THAT in little baby steps until something went wrong so I could tell maybe where I was losing it.

I''m using this: <% words = article.content.split(/ /) %> <%= words[0..20] %> to (ostensibly) split a paragraph into component words, with spaces in between, then print to html only the first 20 items, words and spaces. I got this (split(/ /)) from the online pickaxe book at http://rubycentral.com/book/ref_c_string.html#String.split . The problem is, the resulting array

Hey everybody! I was just wondering if Rails'' javascript library includes something as simple as making a dropdown that jumps to the link when selected without needing a "submit" button. I see a bunch of AJAX effects and draggable-element stuff, but all i need is a simple dropdown... should I code it myself? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''d like to find all records that have a certain integer as their "level" field in the database. I know how to find all the records: allquestions = Question.find(:all) ...and I know how to find the one record that has a certain id: allquestions = Question.find(params[:id]) ...but how do you find all the records that share a certain value in one of their fields? I tried

Hi all, I''ve got a preliminary JRuby version of win32-api checked into CVS at the moment under win32-api/lib/win32/api.rb. I''ve also pasted it below. It doesn''t quite work right in that I can''t get it to modify the arguments in place in the API#call method. Take a look at the sample code at the very bottom to see what I mean. I haven''t even tried

I have some properties that I want setable externally, but readable only internally. I''ve played around with attr_writer (and attr_reader separately) but can''t figure out how to get either to work. I can do what I want using attr_accessor, or just straight out defining the prop setter method. Anybody know how to use attr_writer or attr_reader with a model? You da man, Joe

Hello, I''m still dtarting with ruby on rails. And I''m trying to have a menu depending on the current controller/method.

Hi all, Since I didn''t get any takers on the win32-ole rewrite I thought I''d take a stab at starting it. Here''s what I''ve got so far (along with some extra constants in Windows::COM only in CVS), but the call to CoCreateInstance() isn''t working. I''m not sure if I''m dealing with the IDispatch interface properly: # win32/ole.rb require
