I just saw a mention here of LoginEngine, which I hadn''t heard of before. Last week when I was digging for user-account sample code for my web-app, I instead found the LoginGenerator and started using that: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/LoginGenerator Is one of these preferred over the other? From skimming the API docs, it does seem that LoginEngine has more features,

Has anyone extended Rails''s acts_as_tree to use the Modified Preorder Traversal algorithm? This is a really clever trick for optimizing access to trees stored in databases, as described lucidly in this article: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/hierarchical-data-database/2 It adds two integer fields, a "left counter" and "right counter", to each row. By

What I want to do is simple. I''d like code that prints out the name of this month (January) the next month (February) and the one after that (March) I''ve been able to print this month: <% t = Time.now %> <%= t.strftime(" This Month is: %B") %> But I can''t figure out how to get the next months to print out! -- Posted via

There''s a good article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4616700.stm that says, in a nutshell, that people form their impression of a Web site in 50 milliseconds. With an 80K download for prototype, that leads me to ask: "how can page sizes be trimmed and still use cool features"? I recognize that browsers may feel free to download these scripts asynchronously, but

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

All, I have a small Intranet app I''m trying to get ready for remote access. (I only have 15 or so users for now and I don''t plan to be adding very many more.). I have installed the login engine and it seems to be working as advertized. (Great job!) For my needs I don''t want random people to be able to register and get access to my app, but I will need to register

Hi -- I''m getting started with Rails by rewriting a little web-app I wrote last year in PHP. (I have a bit of prior Ruby experience, and have been working with SQLite for about a year.) My app is up and running, but on looking through the development.log I noticed that Rails is making a lot of identical SELECT queries while handling a single request. These are just the simple
