hey there, i have a simple model called key_words.rb the purpose of this is to hold system config data. it also holds the parameters that our system uses to judge the condition of the stuff we monitor. anyway, one of the methods is this def self.get_in_wet_list(status) wet_list = find(:first, :conditions => "name = ''wet_list'' ")

Hi, I''m new to Ruby and Rails and I would be very grateful for some advice. I''ve got the following code. class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base include Versionable # Some methods to handle my versioned objects has_many :versions, :class_name => "FooVersion", :foreign_key => "parent_id" belongs_to :curr, :class_name => "FooVersion",

It''s nothing revolutionary. Just a plugin which lets you forget about the whole Textile to HTML render process. Once you tell your model which fields should acts_as_textiled (and as long as you''re using form_for for your text entry) it Just Works. No DB changes or whatnot. Here''s the skivvy: http://errtheblog.com/post/14 Tips and tricks in that post and README.

Hi, I have several hundred pages of text, all carefully marked up with textile, which I use redcloth to convert to html for display. Now I find I need all these pages to alternatively output plain text - ie. A-Za-z0-9 and simple punctuation only. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? My only thought is to let redcloth do its stuff, and then strip out the html tags - but it feels wrong.

Camping apps are supposed to be little independent apps, often contained in a single file, which create the database tables and manage them without hassle. These days it''s common to see in a Camping app: module Tepee::Models def self.schema(&block) @@schema = block if block_given? @@schema end end Tepee::Models.schema do create_table :tepee_pages,

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to the best way to provide access to the same data source for the (possible) creation of multiple web sites. I figure my options are: - Direct database access over tcp - ActionWebService - Wait for ActionResource I''ve done up some work with ActionWebService already, but I don''t think it''s going to work because it

I''m digging into rails source code. But I''ve got a problem in undestading actionrecord::base source code which is connection_specification.rb.

Hi All, I''m stuck yet again. I have an action on a controller that produces a Ziya graph, which I call using the gen_chart() helper. However, I can''t seem to pass more than one parameter through to the action. <%= gen_chart( "overview_graph", url_for( :controller => ''graph'', :action => ''graph'', :graph_id =>

Greetings all. I have seen a couple of diagrams on the net that look like a computer set up as an nginx server and more than one mongrel server running at once. What is the advantage of having more than one mongrel server running? Is there a good how-to that explains it very well. thanks shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:

Campers. Dr. Nic. The new migrations in Camping''s trunk are very nice. They also open the door (just an inch) to using Dr. Nic''s Magic Models with Camping.

Hey guys. I''ve been playing with RedirectHandler and it''s pretty neat, but I question its usefulness. At work we do the trendy "/javascripts/spy.1152734636.js"-style asset includes rather than the default Rails style of "/javascripts/spy.js? 1152734636". This is no problem with mod_rewrite as we run the basic Apache => Pen => Mongrel setup.

I am completely baffled by this one - My guess is that there is no pure ruby way to do this - but how could I set up a spec to test that one method is an alias of another? Thanks for any help, Scott

Hi, I just put together a little mixin to provide pseudo-RESTful services in camping apps. Basically, it looks for a hidden _verb field in form posts, and sets the @method to the supplied value (e.g. put or delete - which browsers don''t support). This lets you define put and delete methods in your controllers. Groovy. Code: http://pastie.caboo.se/22613 Is there any permanent repo of

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
