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. Built on thanksgiving while half-watching football and launched yesterday. In other words, half-baked, but I thought some of you might find it mildly amusing.

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

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''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

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

Could one of the admins maybe specify the reply-to address for this mailing list? It''s frustrating to realise you''ve just sent a message to an individual, having meant to send to list. Chris

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

Hi All! I''m kind of new o ruby so please apologize my stupid questions on advanced...

I''m new to TDD in rails, I''m getting this weird error with assert_redirected_to.

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

Railsters: ActiveRecord''s validation system puts other database systems to shame. However, the newbies might not know how to write a regexp that excludes a match, instead of tests for it. Understand - I''m just asking this question to help them. I have been using Regexps since ''grep'' on Xenix! But the newbies here might not know how to do this:

I noticed that some of my event handlers and scripts evaluated in ajax responses didn''t work in Konqueror (3.5.5). document.getElementsByClassName is not defined in these contexts. I can work around this, by saving document.getElementsByClassName in a (namespaced) global variable once and reassigning it before each use. Still, this misfeature is annoying and not restricted to this

This is it. We''re a mere two shakes of a lamb''s tail from releasing the final version of Rails 1.2. But before we light the fireworks and pop the champaign, we''ll just do one itsy, bitsy, tiny test run. Like wearing protection glasses in downtown Copenhagen on New Year''s. You know, just for precautions. So please do give it a good run. We''re looking
