Hi there, I''ve been experimenting with implementing BackgroundDRb in my rails app but am running into some problems. The primary problem I''m getting is in cleaning up worker threads, or getting any kind of response out of worker threads. If try using the response function/hash in my Worker the worker will not execute reporting that response is an unknown variable or function.

Before I file a ticket, I''ll query ya''ll about this: The API docs for acts_as_tree''s counter_cache is to create a database column called "children_count" to hold the counter_cache. I have enabled this option in my model. While writing tests I wrote a test for creating children from the a parent: message = @forum_message["parent"].find child =

Hi all, Hope you can help me with understanding how Ruby / Rails treats arrays full of objects. Let''s say I have to arrays of objects. Both are the same kinds of objects. tomatoes = Fruit.find(:all, :conditions => [ ''tomato = ?'', true], :limit => 10) fruits = Fruit.find(:all, :limit => 10) And I want to create an array of these objects called @my_fruits,

HI all, I''ve got a migration that creates a few new tables and populates a bunch of data into those tables from existing models. It works great. As expected. Tables are created. Relationships are made. Everything comes out fine as far as the data goes. But for some reason the migration task ends with this error: rake aborted! negative argument I''ve liberally sprinkled my

I''m using the date_select and datetime_select helpers in my view, and they return Date classes from the params hash. But how do I work with Date classes, they don''t print human readable dates or times, Time classes work well I can use strftime("%H:%M") to print to the screen. Is it possible to convert a Date to a Time, Ive been tinkering in irb but have got

In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first. Within an actual functional or unit test case, you could simply load them in the proper order, but

Many thanks to all the people who answered questions over the months on this list. Our experience with Rails was overwhelmingly positive! We''d love to hear any feedback you might have:

Hi, After reading section 9 of LARTC it seemed to me that a pure TOS based QoS setup with be sufficient for a small newtork. Interactive packets could have the highest priority, second highest for DNS and small HTTP packets and lowest prio for all others. The advantage is that, the setup would be simply a couple of iptables lines, because the default pfifo_fast qdisc already implements

Hi there, I''ve got a problem I''m hoping someone else has run into before and might have some tips on. I have an ActionMailer class where I''m manually including my application helper along with simply_helpful for use in my html emal templates. This works fine when calling the mailer class from another model class.. (example.. @order.deliver_emails would be a method

I''m trying to display a list of pages in xml. I want to change page.update_at to distance_of_time_in_words_to_now. However whenever I run it I get an error saying: undefined method `distance_of_time_in_words_to_now'' I know I can just go the rails api and copy the source, but there must be another way. def list @page = Page.find(:all, :order => "updated_at desc")

Hi all, I''m developing some custom routes for an application and am creating the aliased url_for commands that I like so much. However, one of the things I''d like to do is read a string from the session (or possibly even pull out an object to get to the string) and use that in the URL generating by the route -- without having to pass the string into the url_for alias every time.

I am building a page that uses ThickBox (http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/) to display details about a record. A user clicks a link on the page and a ThickBox pops up showing the record as HTML. Unfortunately since I have an overall layout setup in my application layout, that HTML is showing in the small popup box and it doesn''t match. How do I remove the added layout for just this

Does anybody use and prefer Redcloth (or bluecloth, which appears to be alpha)? Does it affect performance much? Is there a way to get it to automatically process templates without having to call textilize? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
