Is there a standard way to make sure a client''s web browser pulls the latest version of your style sheet or javascript file instead of using a cached one? We are currently using a tedious way where we add a version number to the file (e.g. screen-v12.css) and when Rails boots up it finds the latest version in the style sheet folder. On the other hand, I have seen Basecamp append

Hello, I''m trying to implement something like the following scenario. I''ve got "Alloys" (blends of metals), "Metals" and "Percentages" I want to implement this using a join model, not using a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship. (If i''m wrong about that, let me know). Basically, i have the following tables: Metals id name Alloys

We''re still hard at work on Rails 1.2, which features all the new dandy REST stuff and more, but a serious security concern has come to our attention that needed to be addressed sooner than the release of 1.2 would allow. So here''s Rails 1.1.5! This is a MANDATORY upgrade for anyone not running on a very recent edge (which isn''t affected by this). If you have a public

Hi- I''m technical lead at Lingr (http://www.lingr.com), a chatroom-based social networking site. We''ve currently got several million user utterances stored in MySQL, and we''re looking to build a local search functionality. I''ve played around with aaf and I really like it, but I have some questions. 1. Is anyone out there using aaf to index a corpus of this

Hi- Danny Burkes here from Lingr (http://www.lingr.com). We''re evaluating bdrb and so far, so good. It''s deployed in staging now and seems to be working fine. I have a couple of questions that I couldn''t find references to in the archive, so here it goes- 1. Is there any way to do a "graceful" stop of bdrb? What I mean is, I want to stop bdrb,

What are people doing about rotating backgroundrb.log and backgroundrb_server.log? It looks like the Logger creation is hardcoded in worker.rb and backgroundrb_server.rb, so there''s no opportunity to pass my own rotation arguments to Logger.new. Best Regards, Danny

Hello everyone- We recently added full archives search to Lingr (http://www.lingr.com), and we used Ferret/AAF to do it. I''ve written a blog post with some details of that integration, and I thought some of you might be interested. See http://blog.lingr.com/2007/05/we_heart_ferret.html. I''m grateful to the authors of Ferret and AAF, as well as to all the people in this forum

Hello everyone- I am considering using Mongrel and I have read this list pretty extensively. I know that the Apache/mod_proxy_balancer/mongrel approach is the preferred one right now, with Apache serving the static content via mod_rewrite and such. However, in my hardware arsenal, I already have an old and trusty LocalDirector, which I would be inclined to at least try first as a

I have seen several threads here and elsewhere about ferret and/or aaf causing seemingly random segfaults in mongrel. However, I didn''t see in any of these threads if a resolution was ever offered. I am currently experiencing this problem and I am keen to get a solution. I appreciate any update that anyone can give me. Best Regards, Danny -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi- I was previously using 0.11.4, and I wrote my own analyzer. Everything worked fine. When I took the system to production, 0.11.4 starting failing updating the index, complaining that files were missing. The failure always happened on the same model document, and was completely reproducible. This failure looked a lot like the one described at http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/104145. I

Hello all- Forgive me if this has been discussed before- I searched the archives and didn''t see anything. Anyway, here it goes- There is a lot of talk lately about Comet-based applications- that is, web apps that hold connections to the server open for a very long time, to effectively achieve realtime data push from the server to the browser. Currently, there are a few web
