I did everything according to the book (i believe), and after 3 hours of googling, reading docs, making sure i did everything correctly i can not make the validate_presence_of() to work - at least not as it looks in the book.

Hello all, Yet another "don''t reinvent the wheel" n00b question: Is there an ''official'' page hit counter plugin/code snippet/whatever? I would need something like this: - It is possibility to set a constant timespan (say 5 hours). - On every page hit, save away @request.remote_ip and Time.new - The counter gets incremented only if the same IP was here

Hello, My main application layout, app/views/layout/application.rhtml looks like this: something render partial_1 something else render partial_2 something else render partial_3 The partials are not really doing anything, i use them to keep the layout modular (i.e . to have ~30 lines instead of 200).

Hello all, I have a screen scraping application (go to a lots of sites, extract 10k stuff, integrate the results, put them to DB etc). Now i want to use a Rails application as a frontend to this: The user can push a button which triggers the screen scraping app and view the results (preferably asynchronously, but that does not really matter right now). Questions: - Should the screen scraping app

Hello, As a rails newbie, i have stumbled upon some tutorials promoting migratons. I have thought, wow, cool and started using them right away. However, now that i am reading the RoR list on a daily basis, i have seen also mails ranging from ''migrations are not always the best'' to ''migrations are evil'' and even ''i would not use migrations even

Hello all, Maybe the $subj is a little bit weird (i.e. apples vs oranges) but it is a situation i am facing at the moment: We are developing a small web site which will be mostly a CMS (more or less) and my colleagues is arguing for drupal, and i am for RoR. Maybe i can formulate the question in a different way: when to use a CMS (not necessarily drupal but e.g. Radiant CMS) and when to use Ruby

Hello all, I am trying to click image maps ("area" nodes), and while Perl''s mechanize treats "a", "area", "frame", "iframe" and "meta" tags as links, it seems to me that Ruby''s Mechanize thinks only "a" tags can be links (at least my little experiment, namely: page.links.each {|link| puts link.node.name}

Hello all, If I run this script, and observe the output, the results are not there at all (try to do the same in the browser). Any suggestions? require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' agent = WWW::Mechanize.new agent.user_agent_alias = ''Mac Safari'' page =

Hi all, I have already evangelized my management to use Rails instead of a Java framework for a newly starting projects - they are OK with Ruby, Rails, seems i won the ''will it scale?'' round too, however there is one final round: performance. These guys are really hooked on numbers. (I know, i know, i have been reading DHH''s thoughts on this topic (in short: who

Hello my friends Today at FISL (International Forum of Free Software), I''ve had the opportunity to watch a Turbogears presentation. The framework, itself is really weak in comparison to rails, but...

Hi everyone. I''m choosing an SCM for my current Rails project. Up until now, for my other (non-Rails) codings, I used Darcs and liked it very much. I''d prefer to use Darcs for my Rails development as well. Looking into the matter, I''m somewhat deterred by the appearant dominance of Subversion as the SCM tool of choice for Rails hackers. Is there a technical reason for

Hello, I am beginning to soak myself into JS/Ajax stuff and I am quite confused because of the myriad of AJAX books/frameworks - Its even worse than RoR in this sense (i.e. in the case of RoR, half of the people are writing books on it, and i believe this value is even higher with AJAX ;-) Of course this is not a bad thing, but if a newbie has to choose something it can be really hard. So my
