Good day, I''m trying to use the slider control to resize a pile of images on a web page. Clever, huh. Bet cha didn''t think of that one!!! :) But seriously. It seems I want to address a class, rather than the individual id''s of the images. At this point, I''m getting some results with something like this:

Is there a centralized list of Rails gems somewhere? Or even just a database of some kind of gems that can be useful to Rails apps, not just specific to Rails? -raymond -- Raymond Brigleb, Creative Director Needmore Designs -- The beautiful, usable web.

Hi all, I''m making an Amy Hoy style tip sheet PDF for the Prototype and Scriptaculous AJAX stuff, to be used with Rails. Are there other resources you would suggest besides the websites themselves (the previous thread about Highlight reminded me of this)? Is there a particular focus that would be helpful for such a document? Preferred fonts or colors? I must say, once you get

You know, it almost seems as though there are now parallel worlds of animation utility packages. There is of course this family of effects, written in JavaScript, and typically used by Rails apps. But then there''s very similar libraries written in ActionScript, for Flash, that do very very similar things. And since ActionScript is heavily based on JavaScript, one wonders if

Looking at the archives, people have asked this before, but I can''t find a proper answer: How do you get sortable_element to return the dragged (moved) element? I know I can compare the list of elements before and after, but I need to know exactly which element was moved. The problem with comparing the list before and after is that if an element is dragged one element forward or

Greetings! I''m trying to set an environment variable in Rails. Why? I can''t use RMagick unless I do so. I can do it from the shell, run irb, and then require ''RMagick'' works. So far so good. But how can I do this from my application? I''m on a shared host so I''ve put in a ticket to have something like this added to httpd.conf: SetEnv

Sorry if this sounds cynical, ( i do love script.aculo.us scripts ) , but I am wondering if people know of some good real world examples of uses of drag n drop and sortable lists. such a cute script will likely be *ab*used as much as it is used. obviously the point here is to use script.aculo.us to improve the user interface rather than just have some k00l eFX. e.g. the drag n drop instantly

Hello! I''m struggling here with getting Typo running on a Red Hat server under Apache 2 / fcgi... Every time I try to load the public home page, I get this in my error log: [Thu May 26 00:20:52 2005] [error] [client 24.22.74.233] FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/home/httpd/vhosts/brigleb.com/httpdocs/ public/dispatch.fcgi" aborted: (first read) idle timeout (30 sec)

I''m trying to figure out a good way to get acts_as_list and the new sortable lists to play nicely together, but they don''t seem like they''re designed to mesh well. The ajax sortable lists post a complete ordered list of ids back to the server after every change, but acts_as_list is designed to deal with diff-like changes, rather than reordering the whole list from

Hi! I''m running a Rails app on Apache/FCGI, with a single handler process on the server. At one point my application needs to FTP a bunch of files to a remote server. When it starts doing this, the server apparently freezes and doesn''t allow anyone else to do anything. Plus, after about twenty seconds, my nice status page vanishes from the browser, even though the

Ok, so this is kinda out of the blue... but I''ve been looking at Google Base and thinking that it''s got some really good ideas in it. Especially the way you can create your own "type" of item with its own custom attributes, like date range, location, number, text, etc. Kind of like defining a database with a GUI, but not exactly. It seems really interesting to me, from

We''re trying to set up a colocated server for deploying a Rails application or three. Right now I''m undecided between a PC-based server running FreeBSD and an Xserve running OS X. I''ve never colocated before so I''m wondering if anyone has stories, tips, or could say what their preferred OS is for running Rails. I''m also wondering how performance of

Hello, I''m implementing sortables in Rails and I can''t seem to get the lovely effect from the Sortable Floats Demo on Thomas'' wonderful site: http://script.aculo.us/drag-and-drop#sortable-floats-demo Simply put, I can''t get the effect whereby you''re dragging the image. When I have a vertical or horizontal constraint on a list, the effect

Hi all, I patched file_column to add imagemagick transformations of uploaded content. I added an options hash, and it takes the :magick and :format keys. :magick is a string of imagemagick command line options for convert (Reference: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php). Format is an optional extension for the finished image. If Imagemagick recognizes the extension, then it will

I have two tables ("products" and "categories") that have a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship, and I need to be able to arbitrarily sort products in the scope of a category using something like acts_as_list. Problem is, since each product can belong to multiple categories, it doesn''t work to use acts_as_list and have the "position" field be in the

only just found the script.aculo.us site. brilliant. much respect. wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction on this drag and drop list re-ordering type thing, i''ve read through what I can but to be honest it''s gone right over my head! How do I get the new order that has been established via dragging list elements around and store them in a database. I figured an

I''ve been unserializing XML in PHP with the XML_Serializer class, and I''m wondering if anyone knows of such a class for Ruby. Nothing fancy, just perhaps a simple way of converting arbitrary XML to a Ruby object. Maybe this has been implemented somewhere already? Thanks, Raymond

Hello, I''m new to this Ajax thing but it''s perfect for a project of mine. But I can''t figure out how to best pass the form data. This is a text field that should be on every page of my application. In my layout, the form submission looks like this: <%= form_remote_tag :update => ''comment'', :url => { :controller =>

I''m trying my best to get Builder to give me a nested representation of my nested database tables, but I think I''m not getting any closer to a solution. In fact, now I''m in Syntax Error land, rapidly approaching Missed Deadline country. Perhaps you could be the one to save my ass? Basically, I have Images which have many Options (intended to represent
