It looks rails automatically creates a "finder" method on models that have a "belongs_to". 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. Should the find_by_category do what I think it should be doing or am I completely off base?

Hi all, a little off topic, but was wondering what the best way is to re-write incoming requests so that they all end up at the same domain. For example, if I had: my_domain.net my_domain.com my_domain.org Whats the best way to map/redirect all of these to www.my_domain.com ?

This is a little off topic but someone here knows, I''m sure... Does anyone have a good site to find freely available standard icons for things like add/edit/delete/save? I''m looking for a set of clean and simple matching icons that capture that Railsy-Web 2.0 feel... Maybe icons aren''t Railsy... Steven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''ve been learning about building Rails apps for about 8 months but I don''t really know how servers work or how to build a server. I have an old 450 GHz Pentium computer I can play with.

Hello all, An interesting problem, I am developing on Windows, another developer is using Unix, and our app and svn repository are running on a Linux box. We need an easy way to not keep breaking our app and each others development environs when we check in the code. The piece in question is the dispatch.fcgi. The path to ruby is (obviously) different in Windows and Unix. Has anyone run into

Hello all, Thank you in advance for your help with this. I am trying to implement the user authentication method from Ruby Recipes which calls for the use of SHA 2.

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 all, I''m looking to setup a simple network "pasteboard" for files within my organization, to circumvent people trying to email 50 meg files and me being unwilling to open up our mail server for massive email transfers. I''ve seen the pasteboard idea elsewhere where you can go and paste code or log files or whatever, and then they just fall off an hour or a day

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

I am trying to use caches_action and the agile book says that it is keyed off the URL, however it does not seem to pick up the URL parameters. http://localhost:3000/controller/action/id?foo=bar and http://localhost:3000/controller/action/id?foo=foobar Returns the same page. Anyone looked into how to add URL parameters to the cached key? Also, where do those file get stored? Thanks Dave

Hello all, This is an interesting problem I have been working on. What I have is a little multiuser project request tracking application. What happens is that I log in and create projects and assign people to the projects. Each project has steps associated with it, and the steps need to be done in a certain order. Now, I have to request that the assigned person perform each of the steps, and
