...9;m trying to do. Does anyone know what the best way to do it is? I have three controllers, each one has a hidden tag, and I want each one to salt its respective tag with the name of the action in effect, at the time that action runs, for every action in the controller. -- Giles Bowkett http://www.gilesgoatboy.org

..." using Rails, I think it''d have been better had I asked "coolest software." Besides the obvious (37Signals, Typo, Yakima Herald, Odeo, Measure Map, etc.), I''m just curious about other developments where people are using it to make nifty stuff. -- Giles Bowkett www.gilesgoatboy.org

...pages = Paginator.new(self, @orders.length, 10, (params[:page] ||= 1).to_i) It doesn''t work. @orders is sorted when I hand it to Paginator. Am I skipping a step? Does Paginator only work on run-of-the-mill SQL calls? I can''t seem to figure this out. -- Giles Bowkett http://www.gilesgoatboy.org

...implement this feature? my JavaScript''s a bit rusty but I think you can probably just put it in a function, and then reference the function from the form tag in the HTML. if there''s anybody out there with fluent JavaScript -- does that sound right? -- Giles Bowkett http://www.gilesgoatboy.org

...m/742590 This disturbs me immensely. If anyone can explain it, that would be cool. I think it''s an illusion brought about by how RSpec wraps the code it executes, and by the sheer weirdness of continuations. -- Giles Bowkett Blog: http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com Portfolio: http://www.gilesgoatboy.org Tumblelog: http://giles.tumblr.com Podcast: http://hollywoodgrit.blogspot.com

...iency. Does anyone have any good advice/URLs/books on how to do cost estimates on a project? I''ve really always kind of avoided the issue as one of those boring "business" details, but it''s looking as if I should really sort of figure it out. -- Giles Bowkett http://www.gilesgoatboy.org

Below I''ve pasted a ./script/story command I''ve been using for about a week. It has three modes of operation: 1. ./script/story with no arguments will run all *.story files in the story path 2. ./script/story with a path or glob will run the specified stories 3. If input is passed in via STDIN, it runs that text as a story. This opens up story running via a simple interface

Hi to everybody, I''m writing an article about Ruby on Rails and I need to gather some information about the project and the community of core developers. In particular I''d like to know something about the organization of the project (how are decisions taken, who decides what goes into the project, conflict resolution, contributions acceptance...) and something more technical

Hi all, Is there any integration with testing tools such as RSpec or Test::Unit planned? I see that the cruise task is run correctly, but the tests show up underneath the build log. Ideally I''d like them to show up the same way that they do in ''java'' CruiseControl, in their own section of tests. Will.

Is there anyway to make Rails NOT cache? I''m getting caching in the browser and the server. I have to restart Lighttpd after every view change to see the results. Thanks, phill

Greetings, I am curious, I see quite a few references to using TextMate for rails development. I downloaded TextMate and used it for 30 days. I do not see what everyone is raving about. Snipplets are nice, but other editors do the same thing, some with much more power. Can anyone tell me what makes people draw to TextMate? Maybe I am missing the whole reason, I''d really like to

Hi all, I am starting out learning Ruby on Rails (coming from a PHP background) and I have a question about proper database design. Let me give you a quick example of what I want to do: Database: CREATE TABLE `users` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `login` varchar(40) default NULL, `email` varchar(100) default NULL, `crypted_password` varchar(40) default NULL, `salt`

I''ve been working with rails for a while now. Rails is the second web framework I''ve tried. It blows the doors off catalyst (perl''s best framework). I even just wrote my first plugin (broomstick). Ruby''s ability to meta-program blew me away with it''s ease of use. I''ve been so impressed with the helpers that rails uses to make a lot of

Remember James McGovern and his articles about Rails and enterprise? Well... Check this one out where he "puts his money where his mouth is" http://duckdown.blogspot.com/2006/04/ruby-community-proved-mcgovern-wrong.html -- -------------- Jon Gretar Borgthorsson http://www.jongretar.net/

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Raleigh area Ruby users Meetup. It was very interesting and very informative. I did feel a bit out of place when we noticed that of the 11-12 people there, I was the only one with a PC laptop. The rest were shiny macs. Ah well, I need to replace this thing soon, and now that BootCamp is out, I really have no more excuses. This way I can test
