Is there an agreed upon method for handling exceptions thrown by something outside of Merb? For example, DataMapper now throws a DataMapper::ObjectNotFoundError when a record isn''t found in the db. I''d like to catch these exceptions and raise a C:E:NotFound exception instead, but without having to wrap a lot of code in begin/rescue/end blocks. Thanks, Mike Irwin

Hi list: I started to make a quick GemPlugin command [ssl::start] that sets up an stunnel before calling the normal [start] command. so $ mongrel_rails ssl:start will do everything that start normally does and configure/setup an stunnel. The question... Obviously this plugin will require stunnel to be installed. What do you think is the best move: 1) nothing, just require that people

Hi people, just thought I''d mumble out my thoughts on merb''s apps directory structure and config concepts and see what other people are feeling... the app dir: mvc/application is layed out as expected....maybe without the mailer by default (another discussion) the config dir: I really think that it''s confusing to have such a mixture of ways to configure some

I had redirects working just the other day... before I upgraded to the latest release. Can somebody please chime in as to why this simple redirect is throwing an error? Controller: ----------------------- def do redirect "http://www.ebay.com" end Error Output: ------------------------- Internal server error 500 uninitialized constant Merb::ControllerMixin::MovedTemporarily in

Hey people.. I often hit name clashes when using partials, take the following example... <%= partial :clip, :url => ''http://www.jeff.com'' %> I will not be able to access my url variable, because the local variable will not override the #url method. This is contradictory to how most "local" variables work. Can I fix this, or is this behavior for some other

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

The winner does not mean it makes it into Merb, just means I personally like it best. But it might make it into Merb. # Scenario: # You have a simple application that lists all the monkeys at the zoo. # Every monkey has a

It looks like Microsoft buggered up Win2000 so that explorer hangs while trying to view a directory on a Samba server. I can't experiment any more since I removed Win2K beta 3, but I thought I'd give the list a warning. -- Ben Kosse <bkosse@thecreek.com> PC Technician -- Coldwater Creek, Inc. (208) 265-7114

Is anyone using formats with the url generator in trunk? I can''t figure it out and it seems to be unimplemented in the router code. I want to do something like url(:articles, :format => "xml") # => /articles.xml or url(:formatted_articles, :format => "xml") -- Geoffrey Grosenbach ........................

No idea why my last post buggered, so here's what I meant to send (attached is his actual patch): Hi! I made a little patch I'd like to see integrated (if appropriate) which makes Compiz usable in desktop+TV-out setups. It adds the --only-current-screen option to compiz which tell it to only manage the screen defined by $DISPLAY and leave the others alone. With

Hi ! I''m trying to return a simple 201 Created status to the caller, but I can''t seem to do it. I use curl from the command line with the --verbose option, and the response is really 200 OK. My controller code: class Observations < Application def create(feature, node, observation_type) # Do some work... response.status = "201 Created"

I''m having an issue with ARsessions... I have a rails app AND a merb app both under the same domain... I have redirects working for this to be seamless... however, the session started on merb is different than the session started in the rails app... like so.. http://pastie.caboo.se/private/r1ar42qiaekrqjdt6y Any ideas why? The only difference I see, but dunno where to change this, is

Hi! I''m building an app where the user can upload images. this works fine and the uploaded file is copied from the temp directory to an MerbRoot/uploads/id directory. my problem is that the filename is something like Merb.5288.0. How can I rename it? my model is available at pastie.<http://pastie.caboo.se/160143> I''m sure this question is not too sophisticated (-; regards

I was using the sample_app and found out that the progress bar wasn''t changing color. It was updating the percentage but wasn''t updating the width of the status bar style... I found that the mup.js was missing and appended "px" So here it is: my first ever Merb patch! http://pastie.caboo.se/28450 cheers, -rjs- (the_mug) Blog: http://www.rosamour.com --------------

Hmmm, I am using Winamp for my client, will upgrade it, but it works for other shoutcast/icecast streams. There has to be something buggered up in my config somewhere. It sounds as if Ices is sending data too quickly to icecast(?), will blow it away and re-complie it and see what happens. Thanks for the help so far. yeah, essentialmix.ca is directly related to the Essential mix broadcasts off

Hi all ! I can''t seem to make a simple thing work... The code is here: http://pastie.caboo.se/130660 Essentially, that''s a form with a couple of partials. The backtrace is included in the pastie. It looks like the context for the current view is lost when a partial is rendered. In _series.html.erb:2, I use "series" to get the name. This is the parameter I

I split one partition, then my hard drive partitions and my partition numbers are listed in the wrong order and I fixed them <https://journalxtra.com/linux/how-to-reorder-linux-drive-partition-numbers/> so they run sequentially from lowest to highest. And the problem is, as the article <https://journalxtra.com/linux/how-to-reorder-linux-drive-partition-numbers/> has warned, my disks

Hello all, It's my birthday today, so as my present I would like everyone possible to download and test my updated set of RPMS for Asterisk 0.7.1. By popular request, I installed and built a set of RPMS for RedHat 9.0, and in the process fixed a bunch of issues from the initial build. I have also updated and will be maintaining a page on the Asterisk Wiki located at:

Now I''m a ruby nooby so be gentle... I''ve gotten ActiveLDAP working from the command line, but buggered if I can work out how on earth to integrate an ActiveLDAP object with a bunch of ActiveRecord objects. This is going to be possible right? I''m just going to have to build the whole scaffold myself for these objects? Just thought I''d check whether it
