Hey, so - I''ve been fiddling about and fell in to use Joe''s simple-yet- painful SHLG (I shouldn''t complain... not at least I have time to produce one :)). I just recently plugged in memcache, and- it''s not preserving my login. I traced the execution and it sets the output of User.authenticate (a user AR object) into @session[''user'']

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update? I know that I can do this by writing my own validation checks using errors.add_[blah], but I''d like to leverage the existing validation code. What I have is two sets of fields in a record, set A and set B. Both sets must be validated on record create. However, the trouble is that after

What if we use a "conditional" parameter in the validates_* methods? Here''s h...

Hello all, I''ve just installed and begun to integrate the salted login generator. So far I''m very impressed, though I''ve hit a few snags along the way. Unfortunately, I''ve met the first one that I haven''t been able to resolve on my own. When I hit the login action, I get errors in my log files. The specific error with trace is included below.

I''m fairly new to Ruby & Rails and I come from a stricly M$ background. I''m trying to move into the world of open source, but I don''t have a good roadmap. I''m starting to develop a Rails-based product and I want to have the option to distribute it to non-hosted customers. So I''ve said all that to say this... I want to learn how to setup linux and

Does anyone have an example of the horizontal slide effects, contributed on the "effects treasure chest" page of the script.aculo.us wiki, working in an available site? I''m having some difficulty getting it to work properly. Also, I''m curious if anyone has built something like the horizontal scroll view as seen in iTunes or zazzle.com, where buttons on the
