similar to: validates_format_of on an optional field using :if

Hi Railers, I''m past considering myself a noob in Rails land - I think what I''m up against here is more of a bug or an anomaly that I''m unaware of (or that has changed in a recent version). I had a fully working validates_confirmation_of :email_address field in my app - was one of the first things I set up, extremely simple, been working for a long time. Then one

Hey People, I''m fairly new to Rails and have perhaps an obvious question. I would like to know if there is a place that I can declare variables and methods that are globally available to all controllers.

I can''t duplicate this problem on my local machine, but also can''t find any mentions of it on the Gmane archive, so thought I''d just throw in a quick mention in case anyone else comes across it. On Textdrive, using gem rails 1.1, in an app that works fine on my local machine, I get the following error in my production.log: "uninitialized constant

I just upgraded to 1.1 and I am now getting the wsod for errors that used to display on the screen. E.G. NoMethodError gives wsod. Does any one know what caused this and how I can go back to the previous behavior? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi Railers, For some time now I''ve been looking for a decent Rails equivalent of PHP''s "htmlentities" command, because ERB''s html_escape (or more commonly called as just "h", eg. <%=h @somevariable %> ) just doesn''t go far enough for me. Back in PHP land, I actually had an extended version of the htmlentities command to deal with

Hi Railers, I''m wondering if anyone has found a nice solution to the problem of validating dates to prevent things like 29th February 2005, or 31st September and so on?

hi everyone, I have a pesky problem with page caching, sorry if it sounds dummy. Whenever I''m caching an url like /controller/argument.with.dots instead of getting a saved page like /public/controller/arguments.with.dots.html I get /public/controller/arguments.with.dots which makes the webserver confused as to how to send it (it gets a Content-Type of text/plain instead of
