Just wanted to let all those Windows devs out there know that RideMe 1.0 dropped over the weekend. http://www.projectrideme.com/ If you''ve never used RideMe before, here are some highlights: * 100% free, open source, and not built on top of anything else. You just need Ruby 1.8.2 and .NET 2.0 installed. * Mission in life is to be lightweight and very fast. This is not a general

Hey there, I just updated to ferret 10.0.4, and acts_as_ferret 0.3, and now when I try to run my app with mongrel on Windows, I get very strange compile errors: ompile error C:/rails/app/script/../config/../app/views/login/index.rhtml:8: Invalid char `\002'' in expression C:/rails/app/script/../config/../app/views/login/index.rhtml:9: syntax error _erbout.concat "

Hey there, I came across this thread: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/78148#126235 where sorting in reverse by a boolean field wasn''t working properly. I''m having the same issue now, but there''s not a reply in that thread. I was wondering if anyone has figured this out yet? Bascially, I want all the records with a "1" (true) to float to the top of the

Hi there, Has anyone tried acts_as_ferret with Edge Rails and Mongrel? When I install the plugin to a project that has Edge Rails frozen, and the Mongrel gem installed, I can''t start the server. There''s no error, it just doesn''t start. I''ve used acts_as_ferret in the past with WEBrick, and stable Rails releases without a hitch. If I remove the

Hi there, I''m having some strange sorting stuff goign on. Here''s my search method: sort_fields = [] sort_fields << Ferret::Search::SortField.new("name", :reverse => :false) @results = Listing.find_by_contents @search_criteria, :limit => :all, :sort => sort_fields page = (params[:page] ||= 1).to_i items_per_page = 9 offset = (page - 1) *

Hi there, I''m working with some legacy data where customer phone numbers are stored with hyphens between the area code, exchange, and number (e.g. 555-555-5555). Is this the best way to store a phone number? Perhaps not, but it''s the way they were being stored, so I have to work with this format. Right, so when I save a record the log tells me acts_as_ferret indexed the

Does anyone know of a library to resize images aside from RMagick? RMagick looks awesome but I''ve heard it doesn''t really work on Windows, and it doesn''t work with Ruby 1.8.4. Also, all I need to do is resize some images. With RMagick that might be trying to swat a fly with a howitzer. Thanks. M. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I know these forums are typically for questions and such, but I thought some of you may be interested in this... For the past couple months I''ve been working on a Windows based IDE for Rails development in my spare time. It closely resembles Visual Studio in many respects, so if you''re a former ASP .NET developer like me, you''ll feel right at home. RIDE-ME is still
