Hi there, A little problem has come up in my application. I want a logo to be displayed right at the top of my main page, and it is not working. Instead, it gives me an image thumbnail which shows that the image is at the right place but not displayed. If somebody could help. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This only just occured to me, but I think it might be a good idea... There are thumbnailer applications out there for the strangest formats now (like NDS files) next to most file browsers auto-generating thumbnails for images and keeping it in ~/.thumbnails. I was wondering how feasible it is to have Windows app's icons extracted and used as a thumbnail for these apps though. Makes apps easy

1st: I am a newbie to Rails & to pure OO. Q: I want to use rails for creating a "master-detail" form. page layout will allow users to type in an "expense report header" and as many "expense report lines" as they need to.

I need to show a directory listing of a folder outside of the Rails app structure. Moving the folder is not an option. In fact, changing anything (including modes) is not possible for the folder. I have working directory listing code in Ruby, but if I call chdir in Rails to set the working directory to a folder outside the app tree, nothing is returned to the browser. It''s fine if I

This is probably me having an issue with the mvc way of living.. .I''m used to perl/php scripting... I''ve got a photo blog I''m making... and in past iterations of this website, I''d just name the photos after the id of the entry. For instance: /photos/id.jpg /photos/id_thumb.jpg However, I''m having trouble finding an easy way to do this with rails.

Just wondering how to best integrate with pagination and still stick to MVC... Say I have a Post model that has a published attribute. I want to show all the recent published posts on a page. My first instinct is to create a method in the Post model called recent that does the find with proper conditions and order, but the problem I have is how do I use that with pagination (which definitely

Hi all, A newbie with Ruby on Rails - and programming in general - I''m working on a few Flash and PHP projects as well. Partly to make my work more efficient, partly to gain a better understanding of system architecture / design patterns, I''ve been trying to use the MVC pattern in database-backed Flash / Actionscript development as well. I think / hope that I''m

Should I create a separate controller for each model or should I use 1 controller for all models? Having 1 "admin" controller for all backend stuff seems logic to me, but when I scaffold it rather makes 1 controller per model. I''m fairly new to the MVC pattern, so what''s the prefered way of doing it? I''m also wondering if the API is up to date? When

All, Is it possible for a view to call back to a controller method? If so, what is the syntax? === details I have a list view that I want to filter out inactive rows based on several table fields being zero, old, etc. It would seem I should create a "filtered" method in the controller (which I have done). Then invoke if from the view like: for row in @rows continue if row.filtered

I have a cronjob that runs "ruby script/runner ''Channel.preload''". Channel is a parent model, Item is the child model (i.e., Channel has_many :items and Item belongs_to :channel). The coupling is minimized, the coherence looks good, but I''m not sure the model is the right place to put this code. Is there a better place to put this code, e.g., a component (I

Hi, I have a dir with more than 16000 files in it. If I klick with MS-Explorer on this Dir to see which files are in it, smbd opens every file and so it takes some seconds to show this Dir!

I''m trying to track down why I''m getting close to desired output, but not quite. It looks like the webpage sorta-kinda is grabbing the right data. For instance, there are three Login objects which should be showing and it looks like the show is grabbing three objects, so that fits, to a degree. However, it''s just grabbing the hexadecimal object id, and not
