I see at some point recipes were changed from project-associated to stage-associated, is there some explanation or examples of that use-case? Could I request we have both? In my current cap scripts, we don''t have any stage-specific recipes, but maybe I''m just not understanding this completely. On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 1:04 PM, Jonathan Weiss

Cheers, I have some elements inside a div with overflow:auto. When I trie to drag them outside of the div, the div starts to scroll. Is there a way to stop this behaviour for drag and drop? I thought of maybe using callback to disable the overflow and restoring it againg after the drop. Did someone implemented something like this? Thanks, Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss

Cheers, I''ve just published a blog post about scaling Rails with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer and Mongrel. This way you do not need another proxy server or load balancer for Mongrel. Just use Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy balancer. http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/04/21/scaling-rails-with-apache-2-2-mod_proxy_balancer-and-mongrel Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss

Cheers, As I have a lot of stability problems with Lighttpd + FastCGI-Cluster I wanted to test Apache 1.3 as most of the "big" sites like 43people or BaseCamp run on it. Every example I find only talks about lokal FastCGI processes and not about remote ones and explains how the requests are balanced. Are there any good examples out there and can Apache1.3/mod_fastcgi load balance

I am developing an application in German. This means I have umlauts. When I was using rails version 0.13.1 there seemed to be no further configuration needed for umlauts to be shown correctly. Now I have upgraded to 0.14.2 and the umlauts are being displayed at ''?''s. I changed the encoding of the page and it is UTF-8. I have also tried the steps listed at

Cheers, I''ve stumbled over a bug with 1.0 and ActiveRecord store for session while migrating from pstore sessions. I created the table with `rake create_sessions_table` and set `config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store` in environment.rb. Everything runs fine except that the flash messages will not be cleared. I get the same message everytime on everypage I

E.g. <select id="foo"> <option value="">Please select a value</option> </option value="1">Nr.

Cheers, I work on a german site that obviously includes german words with umlauts in its data. It seems like the html_escape function (or simply h() function) will not escape umlauts: <%=h "ä" %> Will not produce &auml; What is the best way to do this?

Cheers, I use the javascript lib from http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/ to sort tables. With prototype 1.4pre11 and earlier sorting in Firefox and IE works, with RC0 and RC1 it does not. Safari worked with 1.4pre6 or 7 but does not work with pre11. Somebody also seeing this?

Hi all - I am trying to get rails to use memcache for sessions and fragment caching. I''d also like to use the same connection for general caching of this and that. I''m following the instructions here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoChangeSessionStore and hitting a brick wall. I''m using the new memcache-client since from what I''ve read

Cheers, I have a form with an input inside that I want to be able to submit by itself (I want to let the user create new tags with this input and use them to tag the whole content that is posted by the rest of the form). I have this layout: <form ...> <input type="text" id="new_tag" /> <%= link_to_remote "Schlüsselwort hinzufügen",:url => {

Cheers, Next week I''m going to present Rails Patterns at the Scotland on Rails conference. The idea is to talk about common pitfalls and problems that I''ve encountered in many of the Rails projects I''ve been involved with and describe a solution or best practice. I''ve already assembled several scenarios like async media processing, handling massive user

Cheers, I stumbled over a problem/bug with form_remote_tag. I have a view with <%= form_remote_tag(:update => "update_div", :url => { :action => :top_flop }, :loading => "Element.show(''top-flop-indicator'')", :complete =>

Hello all, IndexedSearch Engine for Rails Engines version 0.1.3 has been released. IndexedSearch is a simple, pluggable engine for rails applications which can be used to enable full text indexed searches within an application. Searchable data is parsed, stemmed using the Porter stemmer, and added to a fully indexed table. This allows you to index things like "he runs fast" which will

I''m using act_as_paranoid plugin for most of my models. One of the reasons was that I didn''t want to break references between objects after I "deleted" an object. One of the cases was to know which user modified something even after I deleted the user. My problem now is that I cannot access the user after it was deleted if I use the :has_and_belongs_to :user

I''m trying to use file_column as a Rails plugin. Of course I read the doc (from Sebastian, this maillist) and little bit of source (as good as I, newbie, could understand it).. But I''m not able to implement it in my app.. I''m a totally newbie with less software development experience. I get the file_column_field in my view with simply invoking the helper... (:multipart

Hi everyone, We had a really successful meeting tonight in Atlanta. The topic was an introduction to Ruby on Rails and our attendance was 30 people, which is over double of what we normally get. (Our attendance has dropped since moving the venue about 25 miles north of the city. The majority of the group stayed well past two hours, at which point we took a break. The entire presentation and
