I''ve got a fairly basic problem here that I''m hoping there is an easy solution for. I have a chunk of html code that I want to truncate to a given length... say 20 characters or so. If I use the ''truncate'' helper function I end up with unbalanced tags. For example. <a href=www.someplace.com>A really long string of words</a> becomes <a

I saw many registrations forms which asks you for a country and it lists all the countries of the world, and when you select a country the form is actualized with all the states or provinces, and when you select a state/province then the form is actualized with all the cities.

Hey there, I got a new workstation going on here an Intel iMac, and I''ve compiled and installed everything with intel binaries. Everything works fine, I even got that cool clever lighttpd script running (http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/303). But the one thing that doesn''t work is breakpoints and the breakpointer script. When I run script/breakpointer, I get the following error: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:837:in `getaddrinfo'': getnameinfo: Non-recoverable failure in name resoluti...

I''ve been searching for a way to implement a search feature across articles posted in a table. All the google results I get refer to "live" search and I''m not interested an automcomplete function, but because of the prevalence of tutorials on the subject, I can''t seem to find what I want.

I''m trying to get data in rows instead of columns by default. The default scaffold behavior is to create an initial table layout with column headers along the top. In some cases this creates really wide tables which require horizontal scrolling. Is there a parameter I can use with scaffolding or a hack to get the header cells along the left side of the table instead? I''m

...yout was used? How can I make it use a custom layout on a per method basis? Q3. I am displaying paginated results for the list action of tags controller. This page already has a layout defined. Everything works fine. Now, I am interested in implementing the ajax_pagination_links (http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/386). However since the layout has already been defined, every time I click on the page number, the entire page including the header is loaded again within my div. I cannot find how I can turn off the layout conditionally or alltogether only for subsequent calls. Since...

Hi, I was trying to use the :select parameter to select a calculated row, but it appears that the parameter is not picked up by the paginate method.

Hi, Every once in while I have to run SQL by hand, in my models mostly. But I''m wondering if there is a better way of doing it than I do. And, I have a question concerning types of the fields in the result the query produces. First, about the types. In a certain model, to get and return the value of a boolean function, I have to do: result =

...<%= submit_tag "Simple Save" %> <%= end_form_tag %> This is the code in the controller: def create ... @logfile.file= @params[''logfile_fileName''] ... end And the Model is nearly identical to the code in here: http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/1805 Is it because I don''t have a file field in my database? The database keeps the name of the file and some information related to it. I want to save the file locally only, not to the database. Please help! I''ve been stuck for DAYS. Thank you in a...
