Hiall, Call me stupid if you like .,) but it seems i can''t figure out how to get a named link using a combination of link_to and image_tag. What I need is basically a link displaying a name along with some image to indicate status (open,working,finished).

Hi all, I''ve got a slight problem with using Ferret in unit tests. In order to create as little cross-contamination between test suites as possible, some of my tests are creating a fresh index per test case, and then calling Index#close and deleting the containing dir during the teardown. The problem comes when GC.start kicks in after the deleting the directory: IOError: IO Error

Hello, I would like to know is there is a way to avoid poluting the views with tons of <% %> ?

Hey folks, Some good news. I''ve finished cFerret and it''s ruby bindings to the point where I can run all of the unit tests. I still have to work out how I''m going to package and release it but it shouldn''t be long now. If you can''t wait you might like to try it from the subversion repository. It''ll probably only work on linux at the moment and

G''day everyone, I''ve got Rails up and running, but am having trouble finding a stable MySQL client for OSX. I was looking at the ''Creating a weblog in 15 minutes'' screencast from rubyonrails.org - what MySQL client is David using?

Hi everyone I''m building an app in which quite a bit of data is dependant on dates (and times), and I have logic that depends on when ''today'' is. I''m trying to get some better functional tests written, and am unsure of the best way to approach it. The problem is that I want the tests to run against the same data every time, whether I run it on Tuesday or

Any suggestions on how to make a "acts_as_family_tree" ? Thanks, Mark -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- I am Mark Daggett and I approve this message.
