Just thought I''d announce this on the Rails list since I know several of you use Textmate: there''s a new feature I''m calling "Multiple Arbitrary Simultaneous Carets" or MASC for short, which is available in my personal TM bundle. It''s been handy enough for me that I thought others might enjoy it.

Here?s a small plugin that may be useful for documenting your database. Based on Dave Thomas?s AnnotateModels plugin, this plugin goes one step further and allows you to store comments on each column in the database (MySQL only).

This has been such a fun project. Couldn''t keep myself away: http://blog.inquirylabs.com/2006/02/19/syncpeople-on-rails-07/ == Summary == Easily navigate between ActionMailer models, views, partials, controllers, helpers, javascripts and stylesheets with a single key (keypad ''enter'') in TextMate.

It?s official, folks! After talking with my partner, Greg Narain, as well as Allan Odgaard, the creator of TextMate, we (syncPEOPLE) have decided to release our Rails bundle under the MIT license so that it can nest itself nicely within its new home, the TextMate Subversion Bundle Repository. What this means for the rest of us is that all of these great features we?ve been madly

One of the most inconvenient things about the Rails directory structure is the relative distance between the controller and its corresponding view files. While it?s organizationally sound, it?s often a pain to go hunting for a view (especially in a complicated application that has modules and modules within modules). I discovered a fantastic little key-combo within TextMate the other

I''m a slow learner when it come to shortcuts and i got real tired looking up Textmate''s Rails snippets & commands in the context menu. So i fired up trusty OmniGraffle and quickly created a little Cheat Sheet for all default snippets/macros/commands in Textmate''s current Rails Bundle. Certainly helped me to remember these quickly. So, if you''re

IE6 and IE7 are not correctly handling the ''throw'' command for functions attached to Element via Element.addMethods. Firefox and Safari are fine. See the example below. For IE6: functions called with no attributes (ie: funcName()) correctly handle thrown errors. Funcions called with attributes (ie: funcName("foo")) will respond to the throw command and pass execution

Family Connection is an easy-to-setup online hub for your family that includes a Family News section, and an Address Book. Currently, there is no documentation on installing the Rails application itself (hence the 0.9 version number). Once installed, Family Connection guides the family website administrator through a simple two-page setup process. The web application restricts access

I''ve got an acts_as_tree structure which I want to be able to represent in the URL, with one field identified as the url component. In other words, if I''ve got this: def self.up create_table :nodes do |t| t.column :parent_id, :integer t.column :tag, :string end end and class Node < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree end and what I want the urls to be is something

I''m writing a ''Mailman'' model that catches emails sent to my application (kind of like backpack, I think). The trouble is that I''d like to save image attachments in the same was that file_column saves them--in fact, I''d really like to use a simple assignment like photo.image = attachment to save the image in its proper place. However,

All, So I got passed my initial hurdles with merb 0.4. And all seems to work very nicely. Thank you all for your help ! One thing though, why should I have to bounce the merb server when I change my controller or associated classes ? Am I missing something ? I am having flash back to my java days where I now have to reflect on what changed and bounce the server accordingly...

Hello Railers, At the beginning of this year, I announced Family Connection, an open source, free, and easy-to-use family website built using our darling web app framework, Ruby on Rails. Now it?s available as a hosted, very easy-to-set-up web app called Family Anywhere! It has the same Family News and Address Book features as the original, plus a new Photo Album that lets you browse

I was talking to a friend of mine who''s developing PHP on trax and we came up with a solution to the ruby session file problem. I''m not sure if this idea has come up before, so I wanted to run it by everyone before making any code contributations and/or talking to the Rails core about it. It seems to me that the current situation we''re in with regard to

I''ve recently made a first release of what I''m calling "bundled_resource" which is a plugin that makes our lives *much* easier when we need to use javascripts, stylesheets and images in conjunction with one another to deliver a special effect or tool on the client (browser) side. If you missed the release, read about it on my blog at

Random question: I''ve written a method for the String class that turns an arbitrary line of text in to an identifier, e.g.: "My, what a beautiful day!" => "my_what_a_beautiful_day" "(anb*#NF(AMNV" => "anb_NF_AMNV" We''ve got all these great names already like underscore, classify, titleize and things like that. I''d

Howdy Gang, in a major controller that has many methods using the same lookup tables for option choices and such, what is the life expectancy of the list instances. Is it useful to set these up in the controller initialize method - or is that utterly dumb? Cheers, Eric

I just put this up on the wiki, and thought I''d share in case it''s useful to anyone else. This is handy if you don?t want to wrap your input elements inside a div when an error occurs, but instead want to add some sort of CSS style to fields with errors: ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| msg = instance.error_message error_style =
