When I am using my rails models in my worker class, it appears the background worker class is always using development no matter what I do. I set background.yml to production. I even have ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||= ''production uncommented in environment.rb. I don''t have the development db even created on my production box, so not sure where it is getting development

I am having an issue of deciding where I should put the business code for example the more complex code coming off the controller. Right now, I am just thinking to put it in the ''lib'' directory and the do something along these lines: require_dependency "system_process" class SystemMessageController < ApplicationController include SystemProcess ... ... Where

I''m working on a small project with a friend, and one of the things we needed to do was send off an email whenever someone signs up an account. His implementation was pretty simple - throw a deliver_welcome call inside the controller after the signup. I''m sure that this is a pretty common thing to do. The problem, in my mind, was that the app now became tied to two places -

Just wondering how to best integrate with pagination and still stick to MVC... Say I have a Post model that has a published attribute. I want to show all the recent published posts on a page. My first instinct is to create a method in the Post model called recent that does the find with proper conditions and order, but the problem I have is how do I use that with pagination (which definitely

I''m using the following RJS template to spit out a div containing a list of projects: page.replace_html ''results'', ''<div>'' @projects.each do |p| page.insert_html :bottom, ''results'', p.name + "<br/>" end page.insert_html :bottom, ''searchresults'', ''</div>'' page.show

Hi All, Has anyone implemented a credit card processing / merchant account system using Rails? I know that there is a ''payment'' gem that is supposed to integrate with the Authorize.net gateway, but I''m wondering if that is the best (and only) solution out there. Are there any other recommended solutions from Rails programmers out there? Thanks in advance for the

Can anyone help me with the following error while trying to start webrick on edge rails? Was working last week, but recent updates are causing the following error. Is there something in my existing rails dir that I might need to update? Thanks in advance for any help. ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/core _ext/kernel/agnostics.rb:7:in ``'': Exec

Is it possible to have controllers named the following? /admin /admin/user If not, is there some way to get it to work with routes? I want to have some actions at the url /admin/<action> and some at /admin/user/<action> (obviously in admin/user controller). Thanks!!!

I really like the idea of using Mongrel. But reading the FAQ, I noticed something that might be an issue. It stated: "Ruby on Rails is not thread safe so there is a synchronized block around the calls to Dispatcher.dispatch. This means that everything is threaded right before and right after Rails runs. While Rails is running there is only one controller in operation at a time." So

I am trying to integrate a rails application with Zope. My goal is to slowly replace parts of the Zope site with Rails while trying to maintain the original urls (where possible). I am using Apache 1.3 with FCGI.

I was thinking it would be nice to have an extra script to monitor the process and restart it if it wasn''t running. Basically a watchdog script that you can run as a cron job if you want. I can put one together if someone hasn''t already? Chris

Is it possible to create a custom callback for my active record model? For example, if I have a model with an approve method, I would like a callback for that method so that I can have my observer send out email notifications when the model is approved. Any ideas on the best way to do this? Should I be trying to use a custom callback? Thanks in advance!

Lindsay, Wouldn''t you want to use a component for this? I know components seem to be out of favor, but they seem like a perfect fit for this very thing. You could then go like: <%= render_component :controller => ''sidebar'', :action => ''home_menu'' %> The :action parameter could even be more dynamic based on your own needs. Maybe someone

If I have a model called Newsletter with: has_many :subscribers, :through => :subscriptions and wanted to list all the subscribers, but show what level their subscriptions was (level is in subscriptions table), how would I best do that? Do I have to use my own select to get what I want or are the attributes from subscriptions available to me through the join somehow (I am suspecting not)?

What is the proper "Rails Way" to handle arrays of objects on a form using checkboxes to select one or more? For example, I would like to assign one or more persons to task. In my view, I loop through each person, spitting out a checkbox. When the form is submitted back to the controller, I would like to iterate through the checked persons. I know rails has some ways of dealing with
