I''m going to be generating thumbnails from user uploaded images. I''m looking around at the libraries available to do this sort of thing and there are three that look promising. ImageScience -- http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/ImageScience.html Mini-Magick -- http://rubyforge.org/projects/mini-magick/ RMagick -- http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/ It looks like a lot of people are

I know that Zed has made mention of the fact that using RMagick with mongrel and rails is a bad thing. I''m currently using FlexImage (which in turn uses RMagick) on my application and really haven''t had too many problems. We get a restart for memory usage every 8-10 hours on one mongrel of twelve running, but I''m not sure if that''s an RMagick issue. Either way,

I''ve tried migrating acts_as_attachment to attachment_fu (just to see if I could replace RMagick with ImageScience+FreeImage), but the quality of the thumbnails is just horrendous, blurred beyond recognition (downscaling a 1280x1024 to a few considerably smaller thumbnails). Changing attachment_fu to use RMagick again and the thumbnails were crispy sharp again. I was wondering

Hi I''d like to know how to have ActiveResource generate a URL for the /teams/1/edit type of resource. I''ve got custom_methods.rb and have used Team.find(1).get(:edit) This generates http://localhost:xxxx/teams/1/edit.xml But all I get returned is a hash of the attributes (in this case of team 1), rather than an object of team 1. In other words the

Howdy. I''m working on a RoR CMS and need cached pages to all be in public/cache rather than public [in order to set svn:ignore on all the files properly]. I can get page_cache_directory set correctly and the pages are cached in the right place but Mongrel isn''t serving them because it''s only looking for them in public. During development I know I can set -r public/cache

I have a problem displaying images when using attachment_fu. When I try to display the image, only about 40k appears in the browser, and with some images even that much is not visible (just garbage when I view source). I can display images smaller than 40k correctly. I''m storing the images in the database (mysql) and haven''t tried storing in the file system to see if that works

In DHH''s keynote, he alluded to doing logins with REST. Has anyone implemented this, and if so, would you mind elaborating on how you did it please? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This GemPlugin will gzip your HTTP responses from mongrel if the client says that it supports it (eg, most modern browsers). I''ve tested it in IE6, Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0RC3 Install: gem install gzip_filter --source http://edenli.com Configure (assuming rails): cd RAILS_ROOT echo ''uri "/", :handler => plugin("/handlers/gzipfilter")''

Hello everyone, I''m having trouble figuring out which approach is better. I have the following tables: products, orders and line_items. Every time an Order is placed, the quantity field in the products table has to be updated for each LineItem in the Order. One option is to use DB triggers which is not as portable as using before_create in the Order model. But with before_create I cannot

Z-Man, DHH recently said: "And [_why''s] latest work on sandbox looks stellar. Making it drop-dead easy to run multiple Rails applications in the same Mongrel process without conflicts. Thumbs up to both him and Matz for getting Sandbox on track for inclusion with the next Ruby release." Does that mean what I think it means - that one or more Mongrel processes may one day be

if I have the following in my routes.rb: map.resources :product_categories it provides urls such as: /product_categories /product_categories/1 /product_categories/1;edit etc. and uses the ProductCategories controller. how can I keep the same controller (and model) but set up the resources so that I can have any abitrary url point to the existing controller, much like specifying the controller

Edge has a change in default behaviour where sessions are stored as cookies instead of in the file system. This was a pleasant surprise when I synced up, fired up my app, and nothing worked. Ah, life on the edge. I''m sure I''m just missing something, but I can''t get sessions to survive the first redirect. I added the following code to environment.rb, based on

Has anyone hacked Builder::XmlMarkup to dasherize underscore tags by default? I know I can use tag!, but I''d like to find a way for it to translate underscores to dashes automatically. In other words: xml.department_manager do "fred end #=> <department-manager>fred</department-manager> I tried hacking Builder::XmlBase.method_missing but got myself all twisted up!

how can i give name attributes for form_for(), so it will give an output like <form name="f">. it is because that i need to access the form name for javascript manipulation. as far as i know, name can only used in form_tag(), but i currently have more than 50 forms that built using form_for(). the structure is like this: <% form_for symbol, item, :url => { :action

Hi, I''m trying to write a file upload monitor for mongrel that uses juggernaut to alert the browser of a change. I''m writing a plugin that uses Mongrel::HttpHandlerPlugin but it looks like the only method that gets called is process and that is only when the upload has finished. I''m setting the following: @request_notify = true But I am still only getting process to
