RoR VS Rails ???
I didn''t get a chance to go to this meeting debating WebObjects Vs Rails, but here''s a report about it: http://desperatepundit.com/blog/cremes/technology/2006/02/15/WebObjects-versus-Ruby-On-Rails.html I don''t get what he''s saying, hand coding the model? yeah, you COULD ... but what about script/generate ???

I need more bling!
Hello everyone, I just showed a friend a prototype of a site offering a service I''m trying to sell (sorry, not on the Internet yet - he saw it at my house). His comment: "Looks like it does everything, but also looks pretty ugly. You''re not going to wow anybody with that". Sitting back and thinking about it, he''s dead right - it needs some bling to make it

Handling a relationship between users and newsletter subcriptions.

why there is no automatic relationship discovery
When I explain RoR to someone I don''t have a convincing argument that explains why everything is so automatic and transparent, but relationships have to be encoded by hand in models. That shows I don''t understand well that part of AR. There''s the argument that says that not all databases offer metadata about foreign keys, but the natural question then is that,

render_component vs. render_component_as_string?
I''m calling render_component in a helper. render_component :controller => target_controller, :action => "show", :id => target_id This works fine, except that passing the id in :params didn''t work and I had to pass in an explicit :id parameter to get the target controller to override the id - is that documented anywhere? That''s not my question. My

Retaining multiple select values from action to action?
Suppose I have a multiple select form on an initial page called things[], and two target actions. The initial page submits to target action 1, and target view 1 submits to target action 2. When I submit the form on the initial page, I can access that set of values in target action 1 and turn it into an array of objects by doing something like this (assuming that the option values are object ids,

Developing reusable components?
Is there a development guide for best practices when making reusable components? For example, none of the login generators fit my requirements, and I want to write my own. But after I''m done, I''ll want to share it with multiple applications. Is there documentation for the right way to go about doing this? -- - Adam ** Expert Technical Project and Business Management ****

pagination_links help
I want append custom query parameters to my pagination links, like ?page=1&foo=bar. I can''t quite figure out how to do this with the pagination_links helper, although I believe the API says you should be able to: pagination_links(paginator, options={}, html_options={}) options are: :params: any additional routing parameters for page URLs Has anyone tried this? thanks, jeff --

SQL "editor"
Hello all, I am curious about what tools you guys use to make your databases. I know David uses CocoaMySQL. Are there other tools for other platforms and for other databases? I''m not very good with the SQL language, so I would like being able to do all my database setup with an easy-to-use tool (defining tables, fields, primary keys, foreign keys, indexes, etc.) Big kisses, Vincent.

Ajax Scaffold Generator for Rails Released
I just released a whole new version of the Ajax Scaffold Generator (for Ruby on Rails). The generator creates a scaffold page like the typical rails one, except adding, editing and deleting are all done inline. The generated scaffold is valid XHTML strict and fully styled right out of the box. Check out the demo: http://ajaxscaffold.height1percent.com/ And the how-to:

Sentry Plugin - Easy Question I don''t doubt
I am looking at adding the Sentry plugin to one of the applications that we are working on. I have a need to store some info that will have to be encrypted and decrypted. I have been going through the docs for the plugin and the AsymetricSentry class looks like the best for what we need to do but I am not sure how to generate the key.

Agile Web Development with Rails 1.1
Dave, on another topic, might I recommend that you and DHH publish an updated version of the Agile guide right away when 1.1 comes out? You could reuse much of your material and it would do a lot of good to help make sure there is still a good centralized source of reference for Rails. Without that book, there really is not a good one-stop source of information for people to learn how to use
