I have some files stored in db. When I try to download these I only get 65535 bytes from the database even if the file is a lot bigger. Is it a Rails setting I''ve missed or a database setting? Anything else? Using Rails 1.0, WinXP and MySQL4.1 /Marcus

I''m building a new index from scratch based on a number of documents stored in a database loaded using my Rails env (using Ruby Ferret 0.9x (installed today with Gem) on Windows). At first everything goes nice but after a number of documents it starts to go slower and slower until it grinds to a halt (at least feels like it). Am I doing something wrong? Is there some way to work

I have a STI class tree. I want to set some default values (calculated values so I can''t set it in the database as defaults) on every created instance regardless of what subclass is actually instantiated. So I figured adding a after_create callback in the top class in the hierarchy should do the trick. It seems it doesn''t get called :( Code: class SuperClass <

What would be the best way to publish a number of pages to static html pages? Just loop through them and create URL:s and fetch them with http or is there a better way? tia /Marcus

I need to include another helper module apart from the normal two (ApplicationHelper and [controllername]Helper). The inclusion needs to be dynamic and based on external parameters (ie what helper that get included differ from request to request). Is it possible? How? /Marcus

We have a scenario where we have a core engine with module add-ons. What modules that will be used differ from deployment to deployment. Each of these modules might need different things in the db (both structure and data) and I want each module to be in charge of its own db structure. Each module is contained in its own source directory and what modules to use is determined in the build

I have some strange behaviour on Windows XP boxes (the same code on Linux doesn''t have the same behaviour). Ruby 1.8.2 and Rails 0.14.2. I have a single inheritance table nodes with a base class Node (acts_as_tree) and some subclasses such as PageNode and FolderNode. If I render the tree in an iframe in a set of iframes it doesn''t work, if I render it stand alone it works

Hi all, Has anyone ever thought about or implemented a way to use Rails to pull content from a database and actually *generate* static html pages from view templates? I want to throw a bunch of content into a db using rails and then put all my website templates into the views dir and write the files out with the content inside. The funny thing is that the html pages Rails normally outputs to

Hello everyone, A new project I''m starting on has a "database" consisting of many 10s of thousands of XML documents. They all conform to a common schema. The project consists pretty much exclusively of searching and presenting existing data - there''s no need (for the forseeable future) to be able to input or update XML documents in the database. Unlike (say) blog

Hi I have this "old" database mainly modeled for Hibernate. The java model has something called Asset. Asset is inherited by SomeAsset and AnotherAsset and the similar stuff is in the asset table and the specific data for SomeAsset is in table some_asset and for AnotherAsset in another_asset. This is then reflected in hibernate using a <joined-subclass/> element. What would

I need to put some data into the database using migrations. The data needs to be in UTF-8 format (since the database and the rest of the Rails application is UTF-8). It doesn''t work. I have set up the UTF-8 support in environment.rb (which works perfectly in the rest of the application). I have also tested to save the migration file as a UTF-8 file (variable char length), as a

What is the best way to handle lengthy operations with Rails (lengthy in this case could be a minute or even more)? I want to give response to the user about what is happening so I guess polling the server with ajax is one way to get data to the browser. But what do I do with the lengthy operation? I mean, the best as I see it would be to make the first request (the one that triggers the

I have a long running operation (more than a minute) that is running in a request. The operation completes according to the log and the log says that it returns http status 200. Sometimes an error message is written after the 200 log message (included at the end of this message). But the browser get a status 500 from the Apache server. We''re using Apache with SCGI on Windows doing

I need to "publish" pages to static files (in order to transfer to a server where Rails isn''t available, this is not for caching). When I do: require "open-uri" def publish File.open(publish_path, "w") do |file| open(base_view_path) { |res| file.write(res.read) } end end where publish() is a method on a model running in Rails

I need to invoke render() multiple times. This is not to render a response to the browser but to get the result of render() and put it in files. Is there another way to do it if it''s not possible to do it directly with render()? Btw, what''s the reasoning behind only allowing render() to be called once a request? /Marcus

I have a model where I have a tree of nodes in one table (acts_as_tree) where I also use a type column to get inheritance. In this table I also have a data_id column that refers to another row in another table (the subclass knows what table). I also have another class that have this line class Page < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :node, :foreign_key =>

I need the UTF-8 support and I guess I therefore need to compile the C extension. I''m living on Windows right now and haven''t done any serious compilation of C stuff ever in Windows. What is recommended setup? I have tried Visual Studio C++ Express 2005 (I think) and added all header-files from the Platform SDK (the first one was missing a number of header files). It starts

I have a Rails application where I need to search. Every time an update happens to something I need to update the index for the changed and related document. As I currently have to run on Windows (and therefore can''t use the native extension) it is quite slow to index sometimes and the user have to wait a couple of seconds for the save operation to return. A thought is to put this
