Hi All, I am making a DAM (seems to be the hip thing to do these days). It is for the company that I work for. We have some really weird domain rules that have prevented me from just using a simple directory structure file permission system. I have come up with a solution but I wanted to run it by you gurus to ensure that I am not recompiling the wheel here. Basically the domain rule is: A user

Hey everyone. I''ve got a best practices question. How are you guys rendering newsfeeds? We have a couple of apps where we send newsfeed items from a backend process. As such, we aren''t in the context of a controller and can''t use the rails template rendering. We''ve tried about 3 different ways to make that bearable, but aren''t having much

Hi is there a better way to accomplish this task? class PortfolioController < ProjectController layout ''portfolio'' def boing redirect_to :action=>:index end alias_method :new , :boing alias_method :destroy , :boing alias_method :edit , :boing alias_method :update , :boing end My portfolio controller implements view only

Hey guys, Anyone using facebooker on a rails 2.0 site? I noticed at least one deprecated call in facebooker, which i am working on a patch for but didn''t know if anyone else has tried it out on the new build of rails yet. Later, Mark

I just pushed my facebook app up to 2.0.1 and noticed that I am now getting these errors: ActionView::TemplateError (Session key invalid or no longer valid) on line #3 of users/index.fbml.erb: It appears that I get the facebook_session object back but when i introspect and try and get the user''s name or something i get the session error. Has anyone else had these problems?

Am i a total idiot to try and parse out a rails object for javascript in this way? <% for i in interface_items[0].attributes %> var <%= i[0] %> = "<%=h( i[1] )%>" <% end %> Am I missing something really obvious?

I have a mysql database that I am trying to use migrations on. The problem that I am having is that when I create a blob field in my migration file like so: t.column "data", :binary, :limit => 15.megabytes, :null => false rails changes it to this in the schema: t.column "data", :binary, :default => "", :null => false not only is this not what I wanted

I am having a problem with two models that each have a HABTM relationship to the other. For example: CREATE TABLE people (id INT, name TEXT); CREATE TABLE teams (id INT, name TEXT); CREATE TABLE people_teams (person_id INT, team_id INT); The person model has: has_and_belongs_to_many :teams And the team model has: has_and_belongs_to_many :people The trouble comes when trying to destroy

With the new fb_sig_request_method provided by Facebook, I''ve patched shanev''s pseudo-resource routes to generate restful routes, minus some exceptions. The announcement: http://www.facebook.com/developers/message.php#msg_126 Patch is submitted here: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=16105&group_id=4187&atid=16132 Blog entry about it:

For a project that I am working on I need to have a family tree. This means that instead of having one parent each item has at most two. As far as I know acts_as_tree only allows one parent_id. Any suggestions on how to make a "acts_as_family_tree" ? Thanks, Mark -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- I am Mark Daggett and I approve this message.

Hi I know there is no real requirements tag but I was unsure what to label this message, please don''t flame me :-). I am using the Javascript Integration Kit with Macromedia Flash to make a local connection to the rendered Rails view. I am then using Flash to render my page components (sort of like you do with Lazlo or Flex etc.) though Javascript acts as a proxy for me. Ideally I would

I am working on a very large Digital Asset Manager for a Los Angeles Based Fashion Company. The application is about 60% done. I need help finishing the project and advice on deployment scalability etc. I expect the project to need roughly a month''s help for an intermediate to expert Rails programmer. If you are a competent programmer and can work "ON-SITE" in the Southbay of

Hi all, I am trying to use migrate on my application and works great except for the blob elements in my schema. MYSQL wants me to declare LARGEBLOB for images the size I need to store but unfortunatly migrate seems to just declare :binary as plain ol'' blobs. I like the idea of a database agnostic database description but I''d like to find away to specify the size of the blob

Ok, this statement may prove that i am designing my app incorrectly but I have several HABTM relationships in my application that I add to using the <<. However, this undermines my ability to validate uniqueness of my rows. As an example. a = Article.find(1) c = Comment.find(1) a.comments << c a.comments << c a.comments.size "2" Obviously, I''d like to

I am building a flash-based uploader for rails that allows multiple files to be selected from a user''s hard drive and then put into a queue for upload. This works great except that macromedia uploads everything as "application/octet-stream". This means that displaying the newly uploaded content inline is a pain because the browser asks to download it first. To get around this I

Hi converted two of my models to HABTM today but I am having a real hard time getting my unit tests to pass now. Specifically, when I destroy a record I get this error: ...many many lines of this above... (eval):4:in `destroy_without_habtm_shim_for_categories'' (eval):4:in `destroy_without_habtm_shim_for_categories'' (eval):4:in

I am trying to create a model that allows only unique assets to be added to a category. However, they could be added again to a different category. Finally, an asset can be shared across many categories. So my question is how do you check the uniqueness across a join table? This does not compile.... has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, :foreign_key => ''asset_id''

Hey list, I started a #facebooker channel on freenode.net for those wanting to work on the plugin or help each other out in a more real-time fashion. Later, Mark

Hi All, I am working on a rails app that has facebook and non-facebook portions and since facebooker seems to want to resolve to the default route of "/" i''ve written a little before filter that seems to make these two exist OK. def is_facebook_request? redirect_to(params.merge({ :controller => ''facebook_accounts'' })) and return false if

Hey guys, Is there anyway to get a notification when the trunk of the project has been updated? Is this something that rubyforge does or is there a way to add a message to the post commit hook on svn? It''d be great to keep up to date on "what''s new" on the app. Later, Mark
