Hi all, I have a little function called format_price(price) that simply formats the argument as a dollar sign, dollar amount, dot and penny amount. Then, in a .rhtml file, I could do this: <%= format_price(item.unit_price * item.quantity) %> But where do I put the format_price() function definition? The app couldn''t find it in app/controllers/application.rb. Where do I put it

Hi all, On the rails list I''ve seen that it''s hard to integrate Rails with Apache (especially apache2), that it''s hard to change the default port (3000), and that Apache runs Rails stuff slowly. Is it reasonable to run Rails stuff on Webrick while simultaneously running other stuff on Apache? How does one simultaneously run two rails applications on Webrick, when

Hi all, In re-doing the very first Hello World in the Agile Rails WEb Dev book, I continuously got blank pages, no matter what URL I put in, except when I put http://localhost:3000/ After eliminating everything else, I switched from Mozilla to Konqueror, and the symptom went away. I tried clearing cache on Mozilla, but that didn''t bring it back. I copied and pasted the URL from

For my weekend project, I''m going to get form_remote_tag and file_column playing happily together. According to my research, no one has done this yet. If you happen to have tried this, and have some workable code, send me an email. I''d rather not duplicate the effort.

I''m trying to set a multi-value cookie but for some reason it''s not working. Any help would be appreciated. cookies[:user] = { :value => {:email=>params[:login][:email], :passwd=>params[:login][:passwd]}, :expires => 30.days.from_now, :path => "/login"} -- Thiago Jackiw

I built out a simple CMS for websites that rely heavily on portfolios. This covers graphic and web designers in particular, but also other people with stuff to show off. It''s really easy to customize progressively, so that some people will only modify CSS, but others will dig deeper into Javascript behaviors and the Rails view code.

I am designing an application to run a fishing tournament I am hosting. Each fish entered will be given a point total based on the length of the fish and the species of fish. Each species has a point multiplier. For Example Trout have a multiplier of 10 so a 20 inch Trout would have a score of 200. My conundrum is in where and when do I calculate the points. The options I have come up

Hello all, I''m looking for suggestions for integrated Blog + Wiki (Bliki) apps. I''d prefer Rails, I want to hear opinions on all options! I''ve browsed through W:Bliki <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliki>. Nothing in that list is immediately compelling. This is for my wife, who is not a technologist, and has a need to create a information-centric website.

As suggested here: http://lists.shorewall.net/pipermail/shorewall-users/2004-October/015097.html I''ve run: adam@shrike:~$ /sbin/iptables -m policy --help iptables v1.2.11 Usage: iptables -[AD] chain rule-specification [options] iptables -[RI] chain rulenum rule-specification [options] iptables -D chain rulenum [options] --snip-- And: adam@shrike:~$ sudo

I updated RailsCron to fix some threading issues with ActiveRecord. Please update if you were on 0.2.1. Also, I am still working on a good unit test strategy (its tricky because I would think that the tests must occur over a lot of time), but haven''t had/made time to give it its due. If you have suggestions, please let me know. -- Kyle Maxwell Chief Technologist E Factor Media // FN

Im using the file_column plugin to upload files from my application. The problem I am encountering is that I have a form with 2 file upload fields and when I submnit that form with files selected, I would get a message from the browser(Firefox) saying that a script on the page is taking a long time to execute and whether I want to cancel it or continue. Whichever option I choose, only 1 file(PDF)

form_remote_tag does not support the input type=file. This is due to javascript security limitations. I created a plugin that modifies form_remote_tag so that if you pass it the option: :html => {:multipart => true}, it will submit via an iframe, allowing you to upload files. It works nicely with file_column :). Currently, it only works with RJS templates (no :update option), and I only

Today we finally opened the doors to "Street Easy" (http:// www.streeteasy.com/), a Real Estate Research Site for New York City. It was built by two guys in three months. It doesn''t have tags, but it has google maps. It rides two bubbles at the same time. It''s like road kill: the price tags will shock you, but you won''t be able to stop browsing around.

I know this is a FAQ and that it''s been discussed much before, I''m just looking for a few key things. I need to setup our gateway so that traffic FROM a range of IPs is sent out, masqueraded, via a new cable connection. I''m running 2.6.9. Am I going to require any of the CONNMARK patches or other patches from http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#routes? I''m really not sure

I''m getting occasional errors that look like: Some method called for -517611318:Fixnum The method is constantly changing, and this error happens on ~5% of the page loads on my Mac Tiger development box. It''s happening on Ruby 1.8.2, and 1.8.4 compiled from source. I haven''t seen it on my Linux production boxes. I was wondering if anyone had seen this before? --
