Fellows of the cloth -- I''m writing code that subclasses RedCloth and emits styled text that is not HTML. For example, I''m going to be emitting RTF and other formats from Textile or Markdown. I''ve got it working quite well with plainclothed RedCloth, but I can''t seem to override any of the methods in SuperRedCloth. Here''s a sample:

Is anyone developing with HAML templates in Merb? I had to do a few hacks but got it generally working (Merb trunk). I did have to do odd things like print @_layout_content straight out instead of calling catch_content(:layout). And, templates seem to be cached even if I set :cache_templates to false in merb.yml. I hope to be at the MerbHack night at RailsConf and would love to hack on this part

I like the style of the Merb plugin manager....installing gems straight from RubyForge. However, the current implementation in trunk wants to find an install script and a Rakefile.merb. Many gems would still be useful without this and could be easily packaged with a Merb app for deployment. Right now it wil "rescue nil" if no uninstall script is found, but the others are required. Is

Trunk Issue: Because of the use of ''autoload'', template handlers other than Erubis are not loaded automatically (Haml, XMLBuilder). Either this should be fixed, or the documentation should be updated to instruct people how to use non-Erb template engines. Apparently the solution is to do something like this in merb_init.rb: ::Merb::AbstractController.register_engine

Argh....ignore that last message. It looks like the trunk was already updated to serve public/500.html sometime in the past week. -- Geoffrey Grosenbach ........................ Blog | http://nubyonrails.com Podcast | http://podcast.rubyonrails.com Screencast | http://peepcode.com

Hey Everyone, Topfunky (Geoffry) has created a great PeepCode screencast on using httperf to performance measure your web applications: http://nubyonrails.topfunky.com/articles/2007/03/05/peepcode-page-caching-and-httperf http://peepcode.com/products/benchmarking-with-httperf Topfunky put a ton of work into this and really got it right. The attention to detail is very good and he researched

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:

Mosquito, the TDD framework for Camping has been updated (0.1.3). We''ve tried to keep it backwards compatible, so your apps should continue to work. But feel free to submit a bug report at RubyForge if you have any problems.

Is anyone using formats with the url generator in trunk? I can''t figure it out and it seems to be unimplemented in the router code. I want to do something like url(:articles, :format => "xml") # => /articles.xml or url(:formatted_articles, :format => "xml") -- Geoffrey Grosenbach ........................

For your entertainment, a simple Camping app to watch your Backpack account and show a list of recently updated pages. I hope to implement an RSS feed soon.

Hi, I want to write a plugin that uses JavaScript and I am wondering how to put the static content, i.e. the JavaScript, in place? I read the documentation I found ( http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Plugins and links) and looked at the listed plugins. One thing I found was that subversion seems to be a prerequisite for providing or even installing plugins. Is that right? The other thing

I attended a lecture in Sydney, Australia earlier this week that featured a rulin'' presenter app written in Camping. It recreates Eric Myer''s S5 presenter app, but with a better implementation in Ruby. I hope I''m not jumping the gun, but the author is Myles Byrne and he posted a link to the svn here (don''t bug him with feature requests for a few

I can''t get fixtures to load correctly in a Mosquito test. The first fixture loads in the unit test, but the rest don''t load at all. File structure: tracker/ tracker.rb test/ test_tracker.rb fixtures/ tracker_measurements.yml tracker_projects.yml Relevant test code: require ''rubygems''

The second release of TentSteak is out and available as a gem on rubyforge ("gem install tent_steak"). This version introduces a handful of new form helpers, a couple method renames, editable HTML tables, and some application bootstrappers for kickstarting Camping and initializing ActiveRecord. It''s still in active development, and I''d very much appreciate

Hi all, I love the elegance of Markaby for HTML generation. I''d like to do something similar for SVG, e.g.: svg11 do title "Slide Title" rect({:x=>2,:y=>2,:width=>508,:height=>318,:fill=>"aqua"}) g({:style=>"fill:blue; stroke:black", :transform=>"translate(17,-38)"}) do circle({:cx=>70, :cy=>100,

Hi, i''m striving to capistranize a foo app on DH. Everything is hosted on DH to simplify a bit : - svn repository (http access) - the application - the DB I used the recipe of Jamis Buck modified by Geoffrey Grosenbach which you can find here : http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost I did the least modifications possible. As recommended. 1) When I launch the

Okay, I am new to rails. I see that the new release of rails does not apply to anything on the site with regards to tutorials including screencasts. What I don''t understand is how I am suppose to learn Rails 2.0 if there is no docmentation for it. I did see that on peepcode there is a pdf for what has changed but how does that help me? How do I get an understanding of the design

Campers -- In a few weeks there will be a bunch of people in Portland, OR, for a conference. A long time ago some campers mentioned that might be a good time for us to get together and hold a mini CampingConf for a few hours. Is anyone interested? Does anyone want to organize it? I''m thinking Wednesday night, May 16. We could possibly get a spot at FreeGeek (not likely since they are
