Hi, Thanks Zed - this is very interesting. One item in particular caught my eye: Does anyone on this list have any comments or validation that Rails 1.2.1 is 2-4 times as slow as Rails 1.1.6? Topfunky provided a link that purports what looks like really horrible performance and memory characteristics for Rails 1.2.1, even v. 1.1.6: http://www.alrond.com/en/2007/jan/25/performance-test-of-6-leading-frameworks/ Did Rails 1.2.2 fix anything in this regard? (I didn''t see any mention of...

...g or even installing plugins. Is that right? The other thing was that there were two plugins that provided content. a) Was providing a directory on the same level as the plugin itself, so I guess the author assumes the user would copy the content itself. B) The css graph plugin (http://nubyonrails.topfunky.com/pages/css_graphs) from Geoffrey Grosenbach, provides an "images" directory in the plugin top level directory (http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/css_graphs/). So I assumed that script/plugin install would use this structure and put it below public. But this assumption is wrong: -- DC:~/...

Hi all, I need to write an application that gets data from a database and plots it on a graph. I am familiar with java and know that I could do it with jfreechart - however I am excited by RoR and would like to write the application with RoR instead. Is it possible to write it in RoR?

Hi- I need to create simple charts on the fly - I had used JFreeChart in the past with inJ2EE apps. Is there any equivalent here for Ruby. My charting needs are simple: just line charts. Also if anyone has done this, pls let me know how I should go about in doing it. Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...;'m thinking Wednesday night, May 16. We could possibly get a spot at FreeGeek (not likely since they are often booked), or there are small venues nearby that could be rented (I''d be glad to foot the bill). Seattle.rb has a projector that we could use. -- Geoffrey Grosenbach boss at topfunky.com p.s.: r.i.p. RedHanded, it''s been a fun ride.

Does anyone know how to use a gem without installing it to the rails installation? For example, I can download the Money gem package from http://dist.leetsoft.com/ but if I don''t have the ability to install a gem at my hosting provider, how can I use the gem in my app? Cheers, Dan

Hi. What is the best way to pre-populate your database with records while developing, not testing? For example, I want to: 1) > [run this command to populate db] 2) > ruby script/server 3) now I can surf to localhost:3000 and my app will already have relevant data I''m hoping to use yaml to suck it in. Is there a way to use the Fixture class to handle this even though this is

Hello- With a database filled with several customers'' datasets, I thought it would be a nice feature of my app''s backend interface to be able to extract (and optionally delete) the data from a single customer. It would then also be nice to rebuild that data from the stored info. What''s a good way to do this efficiently? If all the ":dependent => true"

Hello everyone, I''m looking to produce some graphs broadly like the ones shown here: http://www.dotnetcharting.com/gallery/List.aspx?gal=6 No prize for guessing what type of app it is... This particular graphing library is .NET-specific, but as you can see the results it produces are really nice. More than likely, they''re several notches above what I''ll be able to

Hello Railslist, I''m trying to get Gruff running on OSX Tiger (intel) with edge Rails. I''ve installed ImageMagick, Rmagick, FreeType and all their dependencies, or so I believe. (I''ve compiled them from source mostly, following a recent tutorial for Rails and ImageMagick on Intel Macs) While following the sample on the Gruff downloadpage (the one with the fruit), Rails

Hi , It comes to me that helper has some weaknesses: 1) It is hard to test . No easy way to write test code for it. (or Just i didn''t know?) 2) Not easy to reuse it on other controller/view/model. it looks like to that putting the helper code into a model (a fully helper model , or a mixed model) is good practice. However i agree that some html intensive
