Hi, I would like to have the ability for my application''s .rhtml files to be customized after I give my app to a client. However I don''t want them to mess with the existing templates.

Hi, I was very excited to hear that Rails 1.1 project has been released. It gave me the fire I need to get started on a pet project I''ve been thinking about.

Hi all, a little off topic, but was wondering what the best way is to re-write incoming requests so that they all end up at the same domain. For example, if I had: my_domain.net my_domain.com my_domain.org Whats the best way to map/redirect all of these to www.my_domain.com ? I know its possible, just not sure what to add for rules/virtual hosts in my apache config. Thanks for the help! -Nick

Hi, I''m developing a dashboard like page and basically want to combine the result of multiple actions on a page. I''ve done this so far: def index r1 = render_to_string :action => "action1" r2 = render_to_string :action => "action2" render :text => r1+r2 end This works, but now I want to render from other controllers and this is where

Hi, Has anyone gotten the "roughcuts" of the Ruby and Rails cookbooks? If you have the Pragmattic Rails Cookbook is the O''Reilly worth it? Also can you download PDF''s of their "roughcuts". The website is kind of vague, it just mentions online access (whatever that means). Thanks in advance.

Hi, I don''t know if this question should be posted here on the Rails list or the Mongrel list, but I''ll try here first.

According to the wiki (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Routes) you can handle subdomain routing in routes.rb. Like this: with_options :requirements=>{:subdomain=>''first.com''} do map.connect '''', :controller => "first/catalog" map.connect ''featured'', :controller => "first/catalog",

Hi, I''m trying to get a subdomain to map to a controller. For example: blog.domain.com to point to /list so in my virtual host I tried: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.localhost$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1 but it just goes to the root of my rails app. any ideas? scott.

Hi, I''m using the new acts_as_taggable on Rails 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.

A couple of quick acts_as_taggable (the Rails 1.1 plugin version) 1. Can you update tags on an existing record? If I execute the tag_with statement twice it creates two rows in the taggings column, instead of updating the value of the existing tag 2. Can you delete tags? I didn''t see a method for this. If I can delete tags, problem #1 goes away. scott.

Is there away to have parts of a migration file only work with a specific database. For example I am inserting some data into a table with: execute "INSERT INTO demo_lists(position, name, updated_at, created_at) VALUES (1, 1, ''scott'', CURDATE(), CURDATE());" Of course the curdate() function may only be available on mysql. So can we some how determine which
