My latest stupid web trick, built, with love, in Rails: http://wordie.org Make lists of words. See who else likes the same words. Basically, it''s a dating site.

I''ve been working through the book ''Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce'' which is very heavy on Test Driven Development. As in, you have to write tests for scaffolding methods and validations and crap like that. And then they fail. And you KNOW its the test not the method. So you spend 2x the time writing a test that has to be adapted when requirements change. You

Is there any way to request WEBrick to shutdown besides hitting CTRL-C at the console? I''m looking for, perhaps, a script/shutdown command, or perhaps a special URL that will request WEBrick to die. It can be a command run in a different shell, or, as I said, a special URL. Anyone? Tom Harris Cisco Systems -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''d like to try autocompletion, and my understanding based on AWDWR:2, and on various website tutorials, is that I should install the script.aculos.us javascript library. My question is how to do that. The instructions on their site tell me to "Put prototype.js, scriptaculous.js, builder.js, effects.js, dragdrop.js, slider.js and controls.js in a directory of your website,

I have been waiting for a tipping point to start using Ruby applications instead of PHP applications. My criteria include the availability of Ruby and RoR web hosts and Ruby equivalent applications readily available for PHP. I keep finding PHP applications to fill my needs but not Ruby applications or hosts offering Ruby support. For example, I use content management systems which are

Good day all. This is one of the most frustrating days I have had with Rails in quite some time now (almost 8 months actually). Yesterday I complete my development and testing and everything is peachy. I head home for the evening and do my things there. This morning, I come back in and do my typical morning routine of starting up eclipse and the usual "ruby script/server" command in

Does anyone have a good recommendation for implementing an editable data grid (like a spreadsheet) based on a dbase table/model? What I would like is something similar to Google Spreadsheets.

I have skimmed through many web pages, how to''s and editorials, my final conclusion is that the programming language for this particular part of the program is going to be Ruby. There are many reasons: 1. Apple will support it in 10.5 2. There seems to be a lot of support for it in the Mac community 3. Ruby developers seem to be Mac people. 4. There is better documentation than

Hi, I am using collection_select to build a drop down list. I would like to have the current value selected. How can I do that? My current code is straight from the example in Pragmatic Programmers book [2nd ed, p480] copying here for reference. <%= @users = User.find(:all, :order => "name" ) form.collection_select(:name, @users, :id, :name) %> I went through the api docs

I am trying to use link_to_remote to simply add a record to a database table called "ratings". I''ve seen some examples of this being done but can''t seem to get it to work. Any ideas about what I''m doing wrong? Here is what I have in my view: <%= link_to_remote( "1", {:url => { :controller => "ratings", :action =>

Hello, I have a little problem with image caching. I have a Student model which contains, for each student, a picture (picture_data for datas and picture_type for the content-type of the picture). As I want to save brandwidth, I followed the tutorial in http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/62 for caching pictures. If I test, as the tutorial suggests it, with curl, it''s working

Can someone point me to some good ideas about managing Rails development - like what would be a good way to document all the models and controllers and methods that might result if several people are prototyping on different parts of a system, and what might be a good structure for pushing back code into SVN as scaffolds are turned into real projects - that sort of thing. I''m

Hello, I felt annoyed enough when having to redirect user back to their previous location in a hackish way that I wrote this plugin. It avoids storing POST and Ajax request.
