I just finished posting an article on creating a lightweight but very functional web grid that does a slick job of live updating whatever content you put in. Much like Rails itself, I pulled the code from an active project effort, in the hopes that others would find it useful. http://unspace.ca/discover/datagrid Or, for the impatient, give the demo a shot: http://unspace.ca/datagrid Feedback

I just finished my latest contribution, "Open Says Me". http://unspace.ca/discover/opensaysme/ Managing the browser experience using JavaScript, Ajax and a Cookie. It''s built on top of Rails, of course. Feedback is always appreciated! Pete

Hey everyone, I came back from Canada on Rails and was so inspired that I wrote an article on the plane. http://unspace.ca/discover/expectations/ It''s my attempt to distill what I have learned so far, working on AJAX applications in Rails that people will hopefully want to use. Feedback is appreciated! Pete

I''d like to set up capistrano to send an email whenever we do a deployment. Just start an SMTP session with localhost and shoot off the email. I have all the code to do that actually, I just don''t know how to run some Ruby code on the deployment server. Anyone know how to do that, or do you have an email recipe?

I am implementing a search on my site and was wondering which will be the best way to go about it. We want a full text search and an advance search. We will have huge amounts of data that we would want to search. - on multiple tables. I went through the plugins acts_as_ferret and acts_as_solr. but ferret seems to have a locking problem at high load and solr needs a java server. So what do you

Ryan McMinn as well as myself from Unspace Interactive are going to ETech next week. We know fellow Torontonian David Crow will be there with bells on. And clearly DHH is coming to do his workshop. Who else is coming, and is there any interest in trying to do a Rails BOF during the main conference? Obviously a lot of folks are going to do the workshop, but most people don''t arrive

Say I have a model class called Game. I also have a string call ''game''. How can I do some parsing magic on the string to have a reference to the model Game. So I can perform class methods.

I''m currently planning a social app in Rails that relies on being able to see how far you are from everyone else. It''s my intention to store rough geo-coordinates as part of the sign up process. My intention is to capture their zipcode or postal code, and then be able to query a webservice once for that data. It''s also possible that there might be a database or even

Based on this article http://blog.saush.com/?p=208 I have created a simple speed test application to see how JRuby behaves under JAVA server. I created one controller with simple method that provides actual time for view. View is RHTML with simple code for publishing the time provided by controller. Then a packed the application into WAR(described in article) and published under JBoss 4.0.5 (on

My proposal for a BOF session at ETech was accepted!

This is more of a design issue I''m wrestling with, and was wondering what other people are doing. I have a products table with status values of In Stock, Out of Stork or Discontinued. This is unlikely to change any time soon. Approach A, is to have thses actual values in the status column, at least the meaning is very apparent, yet querying for products with a specific status could

I am using .keys on a hash to create an array that is than displayed in a view with .each - why does it not display the keys in the order added to the hash? I would like to controll how the array is displayed - I want the checkboxes to display like I added them to the hash, but it doesn''t - I can''t figure out how it is displayed, when I change the order of the hash it

I am attempting to use Ajax.Updater to update the innerHTML of a SELECT - that is, to feed it a list of <option>..</option> sets generated from a partial. It works as expected on FF1.5, but in IE6 it renders as an empty select. When I use the DOM viewer (or an alert()) to dump the value of innerHTML, it appears intact EXCEPT that the first <option> is missing with no

I''ve recently submitted two patches (#5122 and #5266) to the Rails trac. These patches are actually for Prototype. There appears to be very little discussion about Prototype on this list, but I wanted to share what I''ve been doing in the hopes of soliciting some feedback from you folks. If this isn''t the right place to discuss Prototype, mea culpa - where should I

I''m building an application for a company that has thousands of clients, and for each client there will a set of documents that are private to that client. Rails makes it easy, of course, to show the list of documents on a per-client basis, using acts_as_authenticated and using current_user as part of the find any time a document list is displayed. The part for which I''m looking

I am using RMagick in my app and am having problems in deployment. The deployment machine (Fedora Core 5) can''t find RMagick unless I change the "require" syntax from that used on the dev machine (OS X). And the dev machine doesn''t like the syntax that works on the deployment server! To wit: [OS X] $ script/console Loading development environment. >> require_gem

Hi, say my application has a small 20 row information table in the database that stores names of airlines: "continental", "delta", united" , etc... These names will be used in various pages of the application for all the website users for different actions. They do not expect to change often. what I do now is - when a user logs in - these airline names are queried
