All, I have a small Intranet app I''m trying to get ready for remote access. (I only have 15 or so users for now and I don''t plan to be adding very many more.). I have installed the login engine and it seems to be working as advertized. (Great job!) For my needs I don''t want random people to be able to register and get access to my app, but I will need to register

Does anyone know how to change the default option for the Date.parse (which ActiveRecord is using on all date fields). I would like the "comp" option to default to true so I don''t have to account for 2- digit dates throughout my application. http://corelib.rubyonrails.org/classes/Date.html#M001228 Thanks!

I have a problem I was hoping someone could shed some light on. I noticed that with every request to my server, the css file was being requested. I went ahead and made a static link to the css file so there is no query string at all, but still I see the requests coming in with each request. Do I need to do anything else (in the response header maybe?) to make sure that browsers will cache the

I''m trying to set up testing on my ActiveResource project. The HttpMock appears to be what I want, but whenever I use the code in the "documentation", I get the error NameError: uninitialized constant ActiveResource::HttpMock Is there something I need to do to enable HttpMock testing? Thanks, Tom

I''m trying to send implicit multipart emails with Rails 2.3.2. I have the files as in the past: mailer_action.text.plain.erb mailer_action.text.html.erb When I run my tests, everything looks good. When I deliver email from the console running in production mode, everything looks good. When my controller calls the method, it uses the html template to send a plain text email. Anyone

Some of my tests use ActiveResource HttpMock requests and some of them do not. Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the HttpMocks after they have already been loaded? The method ActiveResource::HttpMock.reset! only removes all the objects, but ActiveResource still thinks it should look for mock requests rather than actually making requests. I hope this makes sense! Thanks, Tom --

I am trying to dynamically set the compression or quality of an image when displaying it. I have seen in the RMagick documentation how to set the quality only when writing the file to disk. How can I set the quality dynamically or set the compression? The method "image.quality=" does not exist and "image.compression_type=" is not in the documentation. I have tried

Hello. I''m trying to make clean efficient code and would like to find out if there is a "BEST" way to write code. I want this to run quickly and efficiently for my app. I''ve got a form that needs a select list created for new and edit functions. Same list. Do I do this in the controller and reference @list in the forms? def new @list = %w { apple orange banana }

Hi there, I''ve just installed login_engine and user_engine from the repositories, followed the setup procedures as documented in: vendor/plugins/user_engine/README But I''m getting the following failure: vince@vaio:~/Projects/Booking$ rake bootstrap (in /home/vince/Projects/Booking) rake aborted! undefined method `edit'' for class `UserController''

Seems like executing a return in one of the deliver_* methods of ActionMailer doesn''t cancel the delivery. The template is still read right after the return method has been executed and because all variables in the template are empty, all kinds of errors occur. I need to validate the email (and test whether it actually exists) before a delivery is made and I''m trying to put all

Hi, just a quick question, is there a way how to run two apps on the same domain? Both for testing purposes. Thank you.

Okay, so I am setting up a brand new Macbook and can''t seem to get RMagick or ImageMagick to install with Darwin Ports. Can anyone give me some insight as to why this may be failing? I get the same error when I do a "sudo port install imagemagick". Thanks! sudo port install rb-rmagick Password: ---> Building XFree86 with target World Error: Target org.macports.build

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

I am a web developer using PHP and very limited JavaScript. I keep hearing about RoR and am interested in learning it, but before I make the jump I''d like to hear about the types of applications I should be using it for. On all the tutorials you see big apps like stores, social networking, shopping carts, etc. I don''t have any immediate plans to be building something that

I am using the SaltedHashLoginGenerator. and would like to send the e-mail in multipart/alternative format. By default my application is using forgot_password_en.rhtml template. I read in the ROR Recipes book "ActionMailer sees these templates, recognizes the pattern in their file names, and automatically sets the MIME type of the message to multipart/alternative and adds

With Rails 2.3.9, I could use the :update option with an ajax helper if I just wanted to update the contents of an element. The controller action looked liked this: format.js { render :parital => ''_updated_object'', :layout => false } I''m trying to figure out how to accomplish the same thing with Rails 3 ujs? I know I can accomplish this by having the controller

Can someone please post or refer to detailed instructions for getting Rails going on Snow Leopard with ODBC to a MS SQL server? The Rails Wiki is pretty bad and I can''t seem to get it going! Thanks, Tom

I have cron jobs that run script/runner commands and I have two questions: 1. Should logging be working when calling the logger methods from an object within the script? 2. Should Exception Notification work when an exception occurs in the script/runner? Thanks! Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Is there a way to specify within a model that an association should always be loaded. For example, the classic example from the API docs: Post.find(:all, :include => :author) What if I ALWAYS wanted the author to be loaded whenever a Post object was created? So, in essence, Post.find(:all) would bring back each post with the associated author object already loaded. Thanks! -- You
