Just a tip for those of you using RadRails. If you install the new rubygems 0.9.0, you can type "gem rdoc --all --ri" at the command line. Then, open up RadRails, go to Window->Preferences->Ruby->Ri/rdoc and change your ri path to the path to gemri (which gemri). Finally, open up your RI Eclipse view and voila...indexed, searchable rails api docs at your finger tips! This

Probably asked and answered, but... Why are controller private methods inaccessible inside the block passed to render :update ?

My intention was pretty simple...use the following line in a form: <p><label for="country_region">Country</label> <%= f.country_select :country_region, "United States" %></p> However, for the life of me, I couldn''t get it to work. I kept getting

I have a lot of controllers with virtually identical functionality for most actions. I''ve been using shared behaviours to DRY things up a bit, but I still have to create separate behaviours for each context before I can use the shared behaviours what I have now is a generic file which contains all the behaviours and examples common to all the controllers, and that file gets loaded from

Is there a way to call or invoke a controller method from script/console or script/runner? The reason is that I''d like to pre-cache some of the actions on my controller. The pseudo code below is what I''d like to be able to do: class MyController < ApplicationController caches_action :test def test puts ''Hi there'' end end script/console:

When I do periodically_call_remote with e.g. :frequency => 30 after initial page load I have to wait 30 seconds until this partial renders first time. Does anybody know how to make ROR to render partial on web page load, and then start periodic calls every 30 seconds? I tried to put <div id=''mydiv''><%= render(:partial, :action=>''myaction'')

So I am using rufus-scheduler to call a controller which in turn calls an email receiver to check emails... In my controller, I have an instance method called checkEmail In my rufus config file, I have to call MyController.new.checkEmail. Now I set it to run every 5 minutes. So the system creates a new MyController instance every 5 minutes. That''s very inefficient right? I guess

We have a few tables that do not change, unless something big happens which will only happen when it is time to deploy. Is there a way to get Rails to cache the contents of these tables?
