similar to: What is the preferred "lightbox" plugin?

Hi folks, I''ve written a little plugin to use for displaying a block of html over a page while fading out the background. This is like the lightbox.js library, and all it''s related offshoots (thickbox, greybox, etc.). My plugin, Redbox, is not really any better than these others (in fact, it''s less mature, and less tested), but it builds on prototype and scriptaculous,

Hi, I am trying to include lightbox functionality in my app, but there is a slight complication. Apparently lightbox initializes all the links to lightbox events on page load. However, in my case, some new links to lightbox events will be rendered to the page through ajax events (obviously this means after the page loads). So I figure I need to find a way to call lightbox''s

Hi, I''m using lightbox.js for displaying chromeless popup windows. I have a main page on which I have javascript_include_tag and stylesheet_link_tag to include lightbox. Calls to the lightbox popups from this main page work perfectly...

Has anybody else had a problem with using Lightbox in their RoR apps? I include all the necessary files in application.rhtml and then attempt to use the Lightbox functionality in pages and such. Nothing happens except that a new page opens up with the link to the image I was attempting to show with Lightbox. I''ve even gone so far as to strip out everything except the necessary

Greetings. I have a route something like this: map.calendar ''/tasks/:year/:month'', :controller => ''tasks'', :action => ''calendar'', :year => /\d{4}/, :month => /\d{2}/ (Ignore the obvious problems of invalid data.) I''m trying to create a form that will allow my users to navigate from one month/year to the next.

Hi, I''d like to make a demo version of my app available, but I''m not ready to get into database stuff, yet. Has anyone ever deployed with sqlite (what I used to develop my app)?

Hey all, I have two models in my rails project that share a lot of traits. They each have the same 4 properties, and now I need to add 2-3 methods to each one that will be the same. In the spirit of DRY I am looking for a solution to write these methods only once. Both of these models already inherit from ActiveRecord . . . and I didn''t know if it was safe to just "whip up" a

Hi, I''m trying to open a modal popup window using redbox to display a styled notification/alert to the user. The helpers in the redbox documentation only describe how to open a redbox when the user clicks on a link, e.g., link_to_redbox() or link_to_remote_redbox(). Is there any way to open a redbox, or a different type rails- compatible modal popup, from inside a controller action?

Hi all! In my app I want to detect what country a visitor is viewing from by their IP. Although it''s by no means perfect, the simplest option I''ve found is by using this site: http://api.hostip.info/ by passing the ip address as a query, this site returns an xml file with the country as one of the tags. http://api.hostip.info/?ip=6.255.255.255 returns (amongst other things)

Hi all, This is my first post to the forum, and I''ll point out right away that I''m a noob to everything, Ruby, Rails, MySQL, etc., so I expect that I''m wrong here, but is the ''year'' datatype missing from ActiveRecord in 2.0.2? According to my MySQL 5.0 reference manual, ''year'' is a datatype, but when I try to run a migration that has

So, one of the things I''ve always wanted to do was expand upon the simplicity of the Lightbox Gone Wild! object that the coders at www.particletree.com put together months ago. I used it on an application I wrote to organize my own picture albums on my localhost web server, but I had to hack it apart to get it to do the things I wanted it to do. I looked at the Prototype Window
