Hi I''d like to know how to have ActiveResource generate a URL for the /teams/1/edit type of resource. I''ve got custom_methods.rb and have used Team.find(1).get(:edit) This generates http://localhost:xxxx/teams/1/edit.xml But all I get returned is a hash of the attributes (in this case of team 1), rather than an object of team 1. In other words the

Howdy. I''m working on a RoR CMS and need cached pages to all be in public/cache rather than public [in order to set svn:ignore on all the files properly]. I can get page_cache_directory set correctly and the pages are cached in the right place but Mongrel isn''t serving them because it''s only looking for them in public. During development I know I can set -r public/cache

I have a problem displaying images when using attachment_fu. When I try to display the image, only about 40k appears in the browser, and with some images even that much is not visible (just garbage when I view source). I can display images smaller than 40k correctly. I''m storing the images in the database (mysql) and haven''t tried storing in the file system to see if that works

Let me apologize in advance as this is a topic that I feel passionate and opinionated about. If I''m coming on too strong, please forgive me. === Be opinionated=== My first piece of advice is simple: be opinionated. Change the method name to simply <feed_for>. Have it default to doing the right thing. Perhaps give an option to change the default feed format, but default to

I have: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments do def published find( :all, :conditions => {:published => true} ) end end end When in my controller I do Post.find(:first).comments.published.paginate :page => params[:page] I get an error undefined method `paginate'' for []:Array Is will_paginate supposed to

Z-Man, DHH recently said: "And [_why''s] latest work on sandbox looks stellar. Making it drop-dead easy to run multiple Rails applications in the same Mongrel process without conflicts. Thumbs up to both him and Matz for getting Sandbox on track for inclusion with the next Ruby release." Does that mean what I think it means - that one or more Mongrel processes may one day be

if I have the following in my routes.rb: map.resources :product_categories it provides urls such as: /product_categories /product_categories/1 /product_categories/1;edit etc. and uses the ProductCategories controller. how can I keep the same controller (and model) but set up the resources so that I can have any abitrary url point to the existing controller, much like specifying the controller

Has anyone hacked Builder::XmlMarkup to dasherize underscore tags by default? I know I can use tag!, but I''d like to find a way for it to translate underscores to dashes automatically. In other words: xml.department_manager do "fred end #=> <department-manager>fred</department-manager> I tried hacking Builder::XmlBase.method_missing but got myself all twisted up!

Edge has a change in default behaviour where sessions are stored as cookies instead of in the file system. This was a pleasant surprise when I synced up, fired up my app, and nothing worked. Ah, life on the edge. I''m sure I''m just missing something, but I can''t get sessions to survive the first redirect. I added the following code to environment.rb, based on

Hi, I''m trying to write a file upload monitor for mongrel that uses juggernaut to alert the browser of a change. I''m writing a plugin that uses Mongrel::HttpHandlerPlugin but it looks like the only method that gets called is process and that is only when the upload has finished. I''m setting the following: @request_notify = true But I am still only getting process to

Hello everyone, I''m having trouble figuring out which approach is better. I have the following tables: products, orders and line_items. Every time an Order is placed, the quantity field in the products table has to be updated for each LineItem in the Order. One option is to use DB triggers which is not as portable as using before_create in the Order model. But with before_create I cannot

Hey folks, I ran into a few people at RubyConf who were having 99% CPU issues. Please contact me if you meet the following criteria: 1. You are running a production site. 2.

IE6 happily sends unsafe* characters unencoded if you''ve typed them into the URL bar of your IE6 window. This could happen if you copy & paste a URL from an email or web page. Mongrel doesn''t seem to handle these properly. In 0.3.13.3 it would print out something like: Sun Oct 15 23:05:38 CST 2006: BAD CLIENT (192.168.1.2): Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails. 0.3.13.5

If a view file cannot be compiled (eg it has a block with a missing ''end'' statement), I''m experiencing WSODs - the browser reports a lost network connection, rather than the helpful compilation error that we used to have. When the compilation fails, ActionView#compile_template raises this error : TemplateError.new(find_base_path_for(file_name || template), file_name ||

Hi folks, I took a break from Mongrel today and instead whipped up an Atom feed generator for my site.
