Hi, Just thought it was weird that Ruby doesn''t automatically cast ints to floats. Seems so un-rubyish irb(main):006:0> 12/16 => 0 irb(main):007:0> 12.to_f / 16.to_f => 0.75 Jeroen

...ems and download from rubyforge. This is a minor feature release which adds a couple of new facilities: * enumerable_controls: treats ListCtrl and ControlWithItems classes, such as ComboBox, ListBox, CheckListBox as Ruby enumerables * adds Window#has_style? The former is meant to give much more rubyish access to the contents of GUI controls which present the user with a list of item to choose from: # basic iteration listbox.each { | i | puts listbox.string(i) } # iterate with string labels listbox.each | i, string, data | puts "Item #{string} is at position #{i}, and has client data #{d...

Hi, everyone, Just wondering if someone had come up with a good way to do fuzzy searches if you use MySQL as your database (we tried switching to PostgreSQL, but that ended up adding even more problems). Ferret sounds great, but reading through the discussion it looks like we need to solve the problem of write conflicts. I just wrote a post in ruby-talk about using KirbyBase maybe to solve

Hi, is there a profiling gem/plugin for Ruby on Rails? That is, where I can then specify the point in a request I want to act as milestones points for a time to be taken, and place them strategically. Then ideally the plugin then works out and displays how the overall response time was made up... Tks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on

Attached is a patch and some extra files to fix our ObjectPreviouslyDeleted crasher with the paint method. As discussed, it just re-implements the method in Ruby. I created a directory lib/wx/classes as a place to hold Ruby extensions to the API. The attached app.rb and window.rb files should be added to it. When this patch is applied, files in that directory are automatically required on

Hi all, I mentioned this on the forum but wasn''t sure if anyone was paying attention. I was just wondering if it would be possible to replace the get_something/set_something style methods with the more Rubyish something/something= style (i.e. uniform access). For example, the Button class currently has button.get_label and button.set_label("foo"). It would give me warm, fuzzy feelings if I could do button.label and button.label = "foo". :) Just a thought.

...x.dll or wx.so, but it seems needlessly painful to make our users directly require ''wxruby2'' in their apps. 4. This wx.rb file will also be a handy place to create pure ruby api sugar. Eventually, one of the ways wxruby can really be valuable is to provide an API that is more rubyish, and coding wrappers in ruby is far easier than doing so in C++. Eventually, some of those wrappers could be ported to C++ for speed, if necessary. My goal is to release a beta version of wxruby2 within a few weeks. Kevin

...It can be downloaded via gems (gem install wx_sugar) or from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=665 . If you install the gem it will automatically build docs for you. This package is a set of pure ruby extensions to wxRuby that are meant to make the syntax: - more expressive - more ''rubyish'' and less C++ish - shorter The main idea is to get a discussion going about how we want to develop the wxRuby syntax. The extensions are designed to be modular (you can use one and not the other) and to complement rather than replace the existing syntax (so you can run existing wxRuby...

...WxSugar is a set of additions to the WxRuby API, written in pure -# ruby. They''re intended to: -# -# * Make some tricky WxWidgets things easier and more consistent -# * Reduce repetitiveness and redundancy for common tasks -# * Make code more expressive -# * Make code more idiomatically Rubyish -# -# Not everyone will like all the extensions to WxRuby here. So the -# Sugar modules: -# -# * Can generally be used separately, without depending on each other -# * Supplement rather than replace the underlying ''raw'' API -# -# == Using WxSugar -# -# The extensions can current...

Hi all, You''ve probably heard of Google''s Summer of Code. As this year Ruby Central is registered as a mentoring organisation, it is possible to do Ruby projects or work on existing ones, for example wxRuby :). I would be interested to work on wxRuby as a student. So, my question is, are there tasks that need to be done and would be suitable for a Summer of Code project? If

...1.1.1. I would like to get a list of all the tags for a particular model type, in my case "Post". I got it to work with: Tag.find(:all,:include => :taggings, :conditions => "taggable_type=''Chunk''") But I''m wondering if there''s a more Rubyish elegant way. thanks, scott. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What''s an Intel chip doing in a Mac?

...] = true redirect_to :controller => ''client'', :action => ''view'', :client_id => params[:client_id] else render :partial => ''new'', :client_id => params[:client_id], :status => 403 end end Probably very un-rubyish but what the hell, I''m a noob. As you can see what will happen is that if the submission is successful then the body div will be updated with the content in the client/view action. If it fails then the form partial is re-rendered in the content tag with a 403 HTTP code. (Which tells th...

Hello, I just want to create a method that will be available for all models. Is it possible ?

...to do my best to spend some time on RubyTorrent over the next week or so. Here''s what I plan to accomplish: 1. gem packaging 2. Slight API changes: move to Net::BitTorrent rather than RubyTorrent; remove the requirement for ''self'' being passed to on_event (not very Rubyish IMO); etc. 3. Add UDP tracker support. 4. ri documentation I was wondering if anyone has a UDP .torrent file for me to play with (preferable one that''s still active). Also, has anyone tried Ruby 1.8.3-preview on Windows? This allegedly solves the 20-second global freeze issue. Thanks,...

What I''d like to be able to do is use a wxTreeCtrl to manage a tree layout of not only text, but several buttons which would line up adjacent to the text in the tree items. I''ve googled around a bit on this and it doesn''t seem straightforward, if it is possible at all. Can anyone provide any pointers for attempting this? In a simple ASCI schematic, it would be like

...break people''s existing code? * Where is the proper place to put these methods? Move the methods that return TopDocs to a module, which is more or less the same as a Java interface, and implement the methods that return Hits directly in the class? What is a good way to do this that feels Rubyish and takes advantage of its strengths and idioms? * The options to limit the search (first_doc and num_doc) in Search::IndexSearcher and the code that implements them should probably be moved out of Search::IndexSearcher into Index::Index * Are there lower level issues I am not aware of that would...

Hi all, I spent about 8 more hours tonight, and I think I''m close to having a wxruby2 build that works with wxWidgets 2.6.3 and SWIG 1.3.29. It should run bigdemo as well as the other samples. Unfortunately, I probably won''t have much time to work on it until next weekend :-( Tonight''s frustration was with wxART_INFORMATION. It''s sort of a wxArtID and sort of

I am pleased to announce that Radiant CMS is now publically available from the Subversion repository at: http://radiantcms.org/ What is Radiant? ---------------- Radiant is a no-fluff, open source content management system designed for small teams. It is similar to Textpattern or MovableType, but is a general purpose content management system (not a blogging engine). Radiant features:

I''ve run in to an issue that I''m not sure how to address. Basically, I''m building queries with occur_default Search::BooleanClause::Occur::MUST, and using the StandardAnalyzer which does stop filtering. The stop filtering is working beautifully on the indexing side. The problem is that when the query parser parses through a query with a stop word in it, say

I also have a zipped version if anyone wants to download a local copy. http://hailstonesoftware.com/_files/Ruby/wxruby/wxRuby_docs.zip The docs are generated by parsing the LaTeX originals from wxWidgets and outputing a Rubyish version. These LaTeX files are then run thru tex2rtf to create the HTML docs. The attached file shows all the details, just drop it into the rake folder and add require "rake/rakedocs" to the main rakefile and also add create_documentation_tasks under all the other create_*_tasks in the m...
