similar to: Problem with alias_method in a plugin

It seems that attachment_fu is a pretty popular plugin (it''s great), but I''ve been having a terrible time trying to figure out an issue when using "update_attributes". I''m storing files on the file system rather than in a database. It seems that when "update_attributes" is called with a new file, upload_data= tries to copy a file that

Hello, I''m using Ruby 1.8.4 (darwinport), rails-1.0.0 (gem) , Powerbook / Mac OS X 10.4.5 , Webrick. How come Rails always raises NoMethodError for my helper (must_fill and rp or number_to_currency_rp) in application_helper.rb ? I doubt that alias_method is the culprit, but if i give # comment then there will be no errors at all ... :/ what am i doing wrong? is it a bug or stupid me? Thx

Merbists, I saw a note in the attachment_fu source code regarding supporting Merb[1] as well as a post on the Caboose forum[2]. Has anyone gotten Merb working with Rick Olson''s attachment_fu to handle uploads for a Rails app? I''ve hacked together something, but it''s not pretty. Besides fixing the TODO mentioned in the attachment_fu source code to support Merb

Hello Rubyists, I am a bit stumped here. I want to extend the ''load_file'' method in the YAML module. Following along with the PickAxe example of making old methods do new things, I try this in irb: >> module YAML >> alias_method :orig_load_f, :load_file >> def load_file(*args) >> contents = orig_load_f(*args) >>

Hi! I''m trying to extend ActiveRecord''s find method (Rails 1.0, Ruby 1.8.2), but I recognize a strange behaviour of the "alias_method" call. I wrote a very simple script to explain my problem: ------------------------------------------------------ module ActiveRecordExtension def self.included(base) base.extend(ClassMethods) base.class_eval do

I have posted this here also: http://beast.caboo.se/forums/2/topics/ 823 I''m writing this for a custom application that uses attachment_fu but I thought it might interest some people here who are have problems with rmagick or image_science. rmagick is causing large memory spikes for my application and my host will not install image_science, I tried out image_science locally and the

Hi everyone, I''m trying to use ajax to update the selected value of a select element. Here''s what I have so far: function RailsModel(model_name) { this.model_name = model_name; } RailsModel.prototype.getAttributeById = function(attribute, id) { Ajax.Request(''/models/get_attribute_by_id/'' + this.model_name + ''/'' + attribute +

In a model, it seems that methods for column access are only created when one column method on an object is accessed. So, how can one override the default column methods? For instance: create_table "dogs", :force => true do |t| t.column "color", :string end create_table "tails", :force => true do |t| t.column "dog_id", :integer,

Hello Guys.

Hello all, I''m currently having an issue with some specs, specifically scope issues (probably more of a scope issue than a spec issue at this point)... Here''s the error: ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in ''A new User should know what role it has'' Role expected, got NilClass D:/ruby/projects/restful_authentication_test/config/../app/models/role.rb:5:in

I just used attachment_fu for the first time, and it works quite well. I have a user-model, and each of them has_one :image (and the images belongs_to :user). I have a question on this though: how can i remove images? Whenever i set a new image for a user (a user who already has an image), then the table with images gets updated correctly, with the user_id column of the old image set to null, and

I tried to install RedCloth-3.274 in jruby (trunk) but the install failed when RedCloth tried to build the C code using mkmf: I forget whether SuperRedcloth ever did build in JRuby?? I know Hpricot (which also uses ragel which can compile to Java code) works in JRuby -- with the patch here: https://code.whytheluckystiff.net/hpricot/ticket/131) I might be confusing the two ... FYI: If you

Hi, I am deploying a Rails website using Capistrano to a VPS running the site through Apache and Mongrel. ''cap deploy'' works fine, and mongrels are restarted. When I execute ''cap deploy:rollback'', however, my script fails to restart the mongrels giving this error: !!! PID file tmp/pids/mongrel.5000.pid already exists. Mongrel could be running already.

I''ve just committed (revision 194) a first stab at supporting optional parameter matching. More about this later, but in the meantime I wanted to warn anyone bold enough to be working with "edge" Mocha, that any custom parameter matchers they have written will be broken by this change. However it is easy enough to fix them. You need to derive the matcher from

Posted this on the rubyonrails-deployment group (http:// groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-deployment/browse_thread/thread/ d5ef4f3525c3c39a), but figured it couldn''t hurt posting it here too. I''m not a windows user, and I''ve never deployed on windows. Made this small app for a company, and they want it deployed on one of their own servers - a windows server.

Hello everyone, we''ve recently discovered a memory leak in the PerFieldAnalyzer. If you use the PerFieldAnalyzer (which you acutally should), you should switch to a pure ruby version of that analyzer. The C version of the Analyzer is consuming memory on every analyzing request. You can find an example script to verify the leak[1]. Furthermore we''ve added a workaround, building
