...one know if it''s possible to set constraints to the size & type of file that file_column will accept? I''d like to limit to image files of less than 2MB.

...an ActiveRecord subclass causes the whole thing to block. At least I think it''s blocked. Right now I''m just using debug log output. Is there a decent way to debug/test workers I can try? Is there any insight as to why this might be happening (thread safety issues, etc)? Cheers Dorian

We have a Linux file server for a set of computer science and engineering labs where each lab contains machines running Mac OS X, Ubuntu Linux, or some incarnation of Windows. At times the these machines become almost unusable and I think I have narrowed the problem to smbd processes soaking up all the CPU on the server. Running 'top' on the server reveals a dozen or so entries like

...'m in a bit of a bind because whenever I use '':include_blank => true'' in a date_select form, the result is always applied to the date field in the db as eg. Jan 01, which means that as far as I can see blank values aren''t possible.

...n reveals that the file is in fact invalid because something somewhere is truncating the file path: Magick::ImageMagickError in Images#create unable to open image `rian/www/dev.domain.dom/public/images/example.jpg'': No such file or directory: (''image'' should be `/home/dorian/www/dev.domain.dom/public/images/example.jpg'') This all happens in the file magick_file_column.rb in the method transform_with_magick. The line raising the error is: img = ::Magick::Image::read(absolute_path).first and if I replace absolute_path with a string I get the same truncation...

Hello all, I have a question regarding the security of my new web zine. The idea is that I have editors that can log into the site, and then upload comics in the form of a jpg. The way that I have this set up right now is that the jpg is submitted through a form and then placed into the authors sub directory in public/comics/. The record of the jpg is stored in a pendingcomics table

...offending smbd process: Culprit #1 I took three sample snapshots, each lasted for several seconds, and I took them minutes apart from each other.

...but if I debug(@film.live_action_personnel) earlier within the same template, all is well! It seems that ActiveRecord isn''t generating the right query when I only need to count the number of records.

Hi, I''m trying generate a URL from a named route like: namedroute_url(params...) but the generated route is always coming out as the first match from the routes table.

...0, "class" => "input" } do I need to wrap them in a module? I figured not, as they are constants, and should be globally scoped, but I might be very wrong about that...

To add a hint to normal link is very easy: link_to ''design'', {:action => ''design'', :id => survey}, :title => ''Design the survey'' but, after trying several times, I still can''t figure out how to do the same to link_to_remote. I''ve tried put :html => {:title => ''blah''}. It doesn''t
